The chief creative director of DmC: Devil May Cry has explained why the studio decided to make a change to the game's opening when releasing the Definitive Edition.
spotted a conversation between villains Mundus and Lilith had been cut. Where Lilith once responded to Mundus with the phrase "The world is at last your bitch, as am I. Nothing left but to grab it by the hair, bend it over and —", the line now ends after "bitch".
Ninja Theory's Tameem Antoniades explained to IGN, "We did make an edit to the opening cut scene. It wasn’t a case of censorship as there are far more suggestive scenes in the game. We felt that scene in particular drags on a little bit for the opening sequence and frankly, we didn’t like the line. Those few seconds were irrelevant to the scene and is covered effectively in a later scene where Mundus is metaphorically shafting world leaders.
"For the Definitive Edition we took the opportunity to review all aspects of the game, and change things that we didn’t like or couldn’t add in time. As part of that, we also added a brand new cutscene that didn’t make it in time for the original game."
of the Definitive Edition gave the game an 8.9 after we found "sharper visuals, smooth 60-fps gameplay, and other features and enhancements gave [us] plenty of reasons to be happy about coming back, and to recommend that you pick it up for the first time."
