About this episode

The episode discusses the evolution of Devil May Cry from a Resident Evil 4 prototype into a key title in the action game genre.

Devil May Cry (2001) began life as an early Resident Evil 4 prototype before evolving into one of Capcom's most influential action games. Blending gothic horror, fast-paced swordplay, acrobatic gun combat, and a style ranking system that rewarded creativity over button mashing, it introduced the world to Dante and laid the foundation for the modern character action genre.
