I wonder how it will sell. Obviously the RE brand is still strong, and with no other high octane action RE on the horizon people might bite for that reason alone. ORC did sell well despite its poor scores. But people might be more picky now than 4 years ago. If recent US BO trends for blockbuster genre films are any indication, that people at least in the US are more savvy about reviews and critics scores, people might look at its MC scores and reviews and skip it.
This was made with Unity, right?
I just remembered something
RE7 - RE Engine
Umbrella Corps - Unity
SFV - Unreal 4
Deep Down - Phanta Rei
Might as well make DMC5 with Frostbite.
They're obviously experimenting with different engines, probably because Panta Rhei is a huge failure. Dunno why they didn't just make this with UE4, though. They already have the license. I won't believe that this was greenlit before SF5. Maybe internal communication is just bad. That I can believe.
Hopefully DMC5 is on UE4 if they haven't gotten Panta Rhei up to par. If it's on some likely inferior dedicated engine like RE7 is I will cry.
If they gave it to DICE, it'd probably turn out farrrrr better than Capcom's own efforts at this point.
Even if the entirety of DICE spent 10 years on a DMC game, they couldn't even come close to making a game with as deep a combat system as DMC4, let alone surpass it.
