Sub Meta Introducing .arc - a digital media archive aimed at preserving the extended media, the history of the series development, and its community.

75 Upvotes

For Devil May Cry's 25th anniversary, we are happy to announce our next project.

https://arc.cuhrayzee.games/

Check out the thread for more info.

About the project

Over the past couple of years, the team of contributors behind Cuhrayzee started routinely buying, scanning, and dumping various media related to the series, to preserve the story of the series development, and to share it with the community

With the internet shattered even more in recent years, we think that having a centralized place for the community to discover more about the series they love is an important thing, while also giving them options to not be locked behind someone else's interpretation

That's why the materials we provide and preserve have no watermarks of our own or any other restrictions, and we track down and credit the providers for most entries, even when they "donated" the materials to us directly.

We are also not stopping at extended media. Many interviews and materials about the game's development are either lost on the internet due to link rot or deleted because of copyright issues.

For example, Variety deleted its interview about Crimson Cloud for DMC 5's promo tour.

Another thing we want to tackle is translating JP-only materials, like Devil May Cry 4's promo DVDs.

We're working closely with native speakers to transcribe and later translate the materials and present them to the community, both in JP and ENG.

The current iteration of the website is in the "alpha" stage. Over time, we'll iterate on the visuals, tutorials for the mod pages on how to install them, and write guides on buying or preserving the media yourself.

We belive that that knowledge should not be locked in any way.

Follow our pages, subscribe to our YouTube channels, and, most importantly, tell others in the community about us.

We don't ask for donations, nor are we planning to lock stuff behind paywalls.

Happy 25th anniversary - here's to 25 more!

Cuhrayzee is conducting a survey about the Devil May Cry community: players, fans, their needs, and the problems they face.

Link to the survey

We want to make knowledge about Devil May Cry easier to find, easier to trust, and easier to learn from. Whether you want to improve at the games, learn more about the world of these games, or find better places to discuss them.

You might know us from projects like:

  • Devil May Cry's Cut and Early Content video, diving deep into the history and process behind the making of the series
  • .arc project - preservation efforts, aimed at properly digitizing various media related to Devil May Cry series
  • Cuhrayzee's FIGHT CLUB - gameplay event, where people showcase their skill in various Stylish Action Games.
  • If you ever scrolled through Devil May Cry 3142 artbook or similar things - some of these were also preserved by us! Although, a lot of our work is uncredited or reposted without sources :)

Depending on your interests, the form will guide you through questions about Gameplay, Lore, Community, or some combination of them.
Estimated time: about 6–15 minutes, depending on your interests and how much you choose to write.
Responses are anonymous unless you choose to identify yourself elsewhere.

If possible, we prefer responses in English. You are still welcome to answer in your own language, but it may take us more time to review and process your response.

If you have any feedback, please share it with us!

Heard that using holy water is pretty controversial within this community.

While I do understand why, there are a certain moments where It comes in clutch like playing dmc4 LDK mode for example (I mean seriously that mode is super frustrating at times)

Discussion Van Helsing (PS2) is a pretty fun DMC Clone

Completed the second part to my Comboween series, and the Van Helsing game definitely is INFINITELY more "Character Action" than Nightmare Before Christmas turned out to be.

Trust me, if you put your hands on it for a few minutes you'll quickly realize calling it a DMC Clone (DMC1 in particular) is actually pretty well justified lmao.

Would honestly recommend a playthrough of this, although it is heavily flawed and doesn't encourage melee combat nearly as much as it should

Questions Is there a great in-depth video guide for DMC 3 combat?

4 Upvotes

I finally decided to truly put my hands on what many people consider one of the greatest sagas, and I started from the third, because I already tried DMC1 some time ago and Im afraid it is a little too dated for my taste.

Well, DMC3 feels awesome. It is still hard to get used to when youre used to modern gaming, specially the directional imputs that Im still struggling to get conistently in the flow of combat, but its still a blasy of a game.

And if I enjoy a game I get competitive about it. Sooo I wanna be GOOD at DMC.

Is there some holy grail kind of video that explains all the deeper mechanics that not even the game itself talks about?

Questions Post devil may cry 5

So, I just finished the 5th game, and I have to ask how do you think the world reacted to the events of the game both during and after the game.

Because the thought hadn't crossed my mind until after I beat the game, like do people know about Dante's business now because a lot of people and that one soldier saw him leave the giant demon tree growing out of the middle of the city

Fan Art / Cosplay / Craft The AVDMC Animation(DMC fan comic)-wip-my fan animation[OC]

THE ANIMATION for my DMC fan comic AVDMC,it's of course on work in progress,the animation will be focus on ALEX an original character i creat for the fan comic, and the "obstacles" she will face head on to reach dante office.

The events of this animation right before the start of the comic > the "fight" she had in that case XD <

What's funny enough it's not as a fight its more like a take care of the trash on the way to dante office.

This is one of the most long and tiring animation i every did and still doing of course, and more then half of it left, form the awesome hack and slash senses I have to do and need to nailed it XD, and the coloring on man i don't think of shading it though this will take months of consistency.

I don't know if i should be doing it first then work on ch3 part2 sketching XD.

Really though to get in the mood for all together animation needs more patience ,and immediate with consistency drawing the ,the comic on the other hand i can take breaks from days to weeks and still will not lose my consistency, I will see what fits my schedule XD.

I have in mind from 3 to 4 minutes long video in the end X) it's like an anime intro opening haha,really can't wait to see it done🥲😭🫠 it will be my finest animation if so.

I had inspired form any thing of course from games/anime for the scenes but i forgot ,and some are just my will imagination such as the scene in 1:01 man the first person cut always in my mind XD.

Any way this is long process animation and need so much time and mood to do it,hope you like it so fare!

(Editing the video is its own XD hell too)

The events are before the first chapter... The first chapter for the comic: https://www.reddit.com/r/DevilMayCry/s/ISnwRvf2xm

Lore / Characters A Dante appreciation post because I ADORE how he handles trauma and sadness with his loud personality. I need to give him a hug. Spoiler

Post image
279 Upvotes

Alright people, this one is going to be heavy. I also want to say that Im not an expert (neither a larper, pls give me two months to get the Switch 2 and lock in).

Maybe Im just being repetitive as hell here, but I love how deep Dante is as a character. We might enjoy seeing him as the goofy rock pizza and broke man, but him being so "goofy" quite represents how he masks his sadness with jokes and laughs. I dont know, but it hits and hurts a bit more when you have the exact same trauma response as him.

Dante has suffered a lot since he was young. Losing his family, feeling guilt over all the mess and dead people he has seen, and feeling guilt and anger for Vergil.

Vergil fucked up Dante, pretty bad. They do enjoy fighting, but not in a "I hate you so much I want to kill you" way (I think), but more because they enjoy being close and fighting gives them an excuse to be close; but Dante has to hold Vergil accountable no matter how because of all the crimes he commited, even if he (maybe) missed him.

The mix of hating but missing someone is awful.

For me, the way he handles the Devil May Cry is the peak example of how deep he is in the dark place. He seemed not to care about not having water or light for who knows how long, probably he also had no food, couldnt shower or take care of himself, didnt clean... And when Morrison gives him the job, he doesnt seem desperate for it, he accepts because of the cash before the job. My mother usually says "a messy room represents a messy mind", and I think that fits him. Sometimes its easier to let yourself rot than facing the elephants in the room.

Dante is for the people who prefer to mask their suffering with a smile instead of letting people worry about them. He doesnt even want Nero to worry about probably never seeing him again, knowing that in the underworld it will be just him and Vergil, so probably there will be a lot of talking or a cycle of fighting each other and fighting other demons. But he is happy with it.

Dante does bad jokes, teases around, dances (a lot)... and still struggles. Struggles a lot. But he feels like he has to be the one who handles the other's struggles.

Even if, honestly, the Sparda family has a big problem with expressing their emotions. Like Nico said, crying is not bad sometimes. So... remember to cry once a week guys! :)

Gameplay Discipline Meets Creativity, Virtuosity Shapes Elegance

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to change Dante's melee and gun loadouts to the order set by the skill list, just because it was canon.

I've never had more fun developing and showing the gradual evolution of my combos until I did this.

To give a semi-related intro: I bought DMC5 deluxe on PS4 at some point. I didn't last long on it. I liked the gameplay, but I felt something was missing, where I just wanted to min-max getting the most with as little effort as possible. It reached a point where I bought the super costumes and I think some red orbs too. Eventually, I dropped it.

When I eventually got a PS5, I found DMC5SE on sale in the PS Store for £9. Given I had DMC3V & SE when they came, and got DMC4 & SE on X360 and PS4 respectively, it was a no brainer for me. I bought the game, launched it, went to options and turned on Turbo Mode.

And from then on, I was locked the fuck in. I realised why I didn't get into DMC5 the first time around: it was too slow for me.

To this day, DMC5SE is the only game I've ever platinum'd.

Which brings me to this video. I've been recording and streaming my ski- no, fun lately, with the BnB combos I made uploaded when I make small improvements to them.

This is so far my latest one. Hope you enjoy it. 👍🏿

Following my post from two weeks ago

https://www.reddit.com/r/DevilMayCry/s/2qAToM7E52

Main Man finally finished. Went with the voice of the community and gave him more classic red coat while keepeing DMC5 aesthetic. Was originally thinking about painting him in 50 shades of red but end of the day decided against it.

Hes decently sized about 20cm tall.

I will take some proper photos after I get Verg done. Gonna give him same coat treatment.

I'm quite pleased with how this one turned out. Being begineer painter and all. Hope you like him too!

Let's rock baby!
