Devil May Cry was supossed to be Resident Evil 4
on the PS2, but becuase the developers decided to take a different
route during the middle of production, it ultimatly became Devil May
Cry. (note: that doesnt mean Resident Evil 4 is scrapped, it is in
production right now) We could have had Resident Evil 4 in production
as of this moment becuase the scenario of the game was written well
over a year ago!
The original title was Devil May Care, after the well known phrase
or title. It was changed to Devil May Cry becuase a movie already
had that title.(Hideki)
The producer Shinji Mikami said to us (Hideki the director + team):
"Make me a revolutionary Biohazard game". so, after mikami's
words, the idea for a new game developed.
Barouque style music was one of the inspirations for the game music.
(this or periods of classical music). But hard rock (japanese style
j-rock) was used during sequences where Dante must kick ass.
Hideki gets much of his inspiration for games from what else? movies.
This is the reason why a guy like Dante can come in and defeat evil
with the crudess of weapons.
Dante's twin guns are named "ebony and ivory", probably
a reference to the song of the same name, becuase they go together
in perfect harmony, blah, blah, blah, blah, why don't we...
The marionette demons were originally "cyborgs", but
becuase they were boring, they became the happy little clowns we
know of today.
Shinji wanted realism, this ment Hideki and the team went to Spain
and England trying to get inspiration for the many castle settings
within the game.
What does Shinji actually do then? This, we'll never know.
