Sorry but that difference isnt that huge...not brag worthy xD.

Devil May cry aint the same without this guy (even if he did make the disaster that is DMC2)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideaki_Itsuno

Only reason(s) why MGR sold better than DMC was

1. DmC was developed by Ninja Theory (l0l) (the design goes well with this reason)
2. Metal Gear is a bigger series than Devil May Cry.

Uh......Have you played Vanquish or Bayonetta?

Platnium Studios is an increadible studio. This game sold well because people knew who was developing it. Being a Metal Gear game helps, but this isn't a main line Metal Gear Game, where DMC is.

This is a case where a small developer made a game which outsold the bigger guys, and I just want to say.


Well done.


Em...yes...it is. xD

no.....it isn't, read the title of the game. Metal Gear Rising, not Metal Gear Solid.

But both Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Rising are part of the Metal Gear series, which also have Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2.

justic is served for ps360 owners lol. two awesome games in one month. it pays to have third parties on console


Im more prone to agree with this. If you have a PS3 you get the top 3 hack n slash titles of the year in the first three months and then the next Castlevania to boot.

But Metal Gear Rising isn't a part of the Metal Gear Solid Series. It's a spinoff, a side game. Similar to how Halo Wars isn't a part of the main Halo series. Stuff happens in the game which is a part of the story, but it's not a main series game.

If MGR doesn't sell well, that doesn't hurt the Metal Gear Solid franchise one bit. If DmC sells badly, that could kill the franchise.

Metal Gear Solid is part of the Metal Gear saga. Metal Gear Rising is also part of the Metal Gear saga. Is canon. How many times do I have to say this? It is no spin-off,

Yea, but Metal Gear Rising isn't part of Metal Gear Solid. It's part of the Metal Gear Umbrella, but not a part of the main series.

Is Halo Wars a main series Halo game? No, but the story does take place during the main Halo story.

Even Halo 3 ODST, it's not a main series game, doesn't even have Master Cheif, but it's still Halo

Is Resident Evil Code Veronica a main Resident Evil game? No it's never referenced in any game afterwards, and the story doesn't affect future games, but it does star Claire Redfield.

This is the same situation. MGR is still Metal Gear, but it's not a main series entry. It's a side story, talking about Raiden.

----

Anyway, I plan to get MGR because of my love for Platnium Studios. I don't like Metal Gear Solid games, and I don't consider this to be a main series MGS game.

So, what you mean is that Metal Gear Solid is not part of Metal Gear? Because then the main series would be Metal Gear, and Metal Gear Solid would be part of the Metal Gear Umbrella.

Actually, ODST is a main series game, but rather a sidequest that is apart of the overall story, much like Reach. Kojima admitted that MGR is cannon and happens after MGS4.

Well DmC did okay.

I'm not sure its reasonable to compare these two games. Metal Gear Solid is a much bigger series, and it seems more money was spent on marketing, since I've seen tv adverts, which DmC did not get. Devil May Cry has had an absence of 5 years, Metal Gear is a much bigger series, but best of luck to both games. I heard MGR was good so I'm hoping to get round to it at some point.

DmC is doing horrible when are you going to accept the facts. It won't even make it to their forecasted 1.2M combined and DmC had the same if not more marketing as MGR, pop outs in Gamestop, online and there was even a trailer shown before the latest Resident Evil movie. Absence of 5 years, bigger series, marketing, brand power, oh please enough just deal with it it flopped. Capcom has been silent for a month now while Kojima is already talking about a sequel, is over for DmC only Platinum can revive the series since Inaba is doing his dream game Dragon's Dogma 2.
