Yeah but metacritic doesnt include japanese or asian reviers in their score, its a highly biased prefernce from the start from a site who claims representing the whole world.
Its only western reviewers who are allowed and from them the majority are anglo-american sites. I havent even seen a german site on metacritic

There are plenty of German sites and magazines on Metacritic.
GameStar, GamePro, 4players, PC Games, Eurogamer Germany etc.

Firstly, standards don't always stay the same through out a generation. An 8/10 in 2008 isn't necessarily the same as an 8/10 in 2013. Secondly, DMC4 scored worse, not better. Here are the meta pages:

84/84 vs 85/86. When you consider variance that's functionally the same, but still counter to what you're claiming.

When has metacritic ever claimed to represent the views of the entire world? The site is primarily visited by western gamers, thus it is logical it would strive to aggregate the views of western critics. Including reviews from countries that rarely visit the site would just make it less accurate for everyone that does. That would be pretty silly.

That's because it was made for English people.

Firstly, I'm not sure that's true. DmC has an 86, and DMC4 has an 84. Unless a whole bunch of critics retroactively went back or did retro reviews to lower DMC4, it's hard to imagine it dropping three points over time.
Secondly, though, keep in mind that remasters are often judged by what they bring that's new to the game and how they fix the complaints people had about the original. DmC fixed a lot of the stuff that was wrong with the original DmC, and DMC4...didn't. Critics tend to review higher for that stuff.

You mean an English language site focuses on English speaking people and English language sources? :o What madness is this!? |
No where it states it is like this. Its a fact that metacritic is wrongly viewed as the global score. If they would focus only on english they wouldnt allow any none-english sites but they do. But its limited and some languages arent allowed like japanese. It should be obvious by now

Devil may cry 4 added new characters, dmc didnt add anything new gameplaywise and is 20€ more expnsinve . DMC didnt fix anything what was wrong with this game, emodante cant be fixed.

No where it says it, and they still allow other languages from europe tough its more limeted.

GamePro seems to have been added only recently (although I had the feeling they were on Metacritic before....):
