I interviewed Hiroyuki Kobayashi and asked him explicitly about the difficulty compared to DMC3. “Much easier.” he said. Then I played DMC4 last week and, lo, it was much harder. Much, much harder. For instance; you have to fight Dante in the tutorial, and he’s as hard as Dante would be if you were controlling him. But it’s still great regardless.

I was playing with a 360 gamepad fine. I believe (but I could be wrong) that this was helped by a patch that was released soon after launch.

But I do remember a few niggles about the controller. If only I could remember now exactly what they were, as I never got around to finishing DMC3 due to my hard drive dying at the time, and I never could be bothered to reinstall it knowing how much I had to play through again.

Both DMC1 and 3 (let us not talk too much about 2) were tough games on normal. That is half the appeal of them, they make you work to progress so you actually feel like you’ve accomplished something when you beat a boss the size of a small house.

I’m looking forward to DMC4 simply because it is a continuation of the series. And for once they’ve got more than 3 humans in it, which is a surprise to me.

I thought 3 didn’t so much have a difficulty curve as a difficulty wall compared to the previous two installments. But the game has enough goodwill for me, that I’ll try out the fourth one as well.

Not the greatest camera in the world, is it?

I actually couldn’t get a gamepad to work, so yes. But I played okay with mouse and keyboard.

Weren’t the controls for DMC3′s PC version a complete disgrace, even with a gamepad?

Because if not, I might just have to get it.

That’s Dante fighting the snake-god woman thing.
