With the permission of his wife, I am posting this video for you @bradvenable. As soon as I can gather my thoughts tomorrow, I’ll take it up if I’m not a damn mess. You will tell me to leave everything out, but if I do, I will cry forever.
My brother. I love you so much. pic.twitter.com/S8x7fEjiTD

Very sad to lose one of the most beautiful and most giving talent in the voice-over business. @bradvenable was a darling of a man and would help you with anything you need. Ridiculously talented and a real treasure. RIP Brad. I will miss our chats. #voiceovers #vote

If you did not know @bradvenable, you missed. He was friendly with every person he knew. I do not think he gave himself the honor he deserved, but he was always there to support his colleagues, no matter what stage they were in their careers.

Venable is not just played in Devil can cry 5, but also roles in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Wars, the recent Demon’s Souls remake, Fire emblem: Three houses, Astral chain, Serious Sam 4, en Final Fantasy VII Remake. In anime, he played Daz in the English dub of Attack on Titan, and roles played in My Hero Academia, Hunter x Hunter, en Dragon Ball Super.

Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition went digital on November 10 for Xbox Series X and November 12 on PS5. The physical version was released on December 1st. Players also have the option to customize the difficulty with Legendary Dark Knight mode. This new horde mode gives even the toughest devil hunter a chance for their money. Players can also turn on the Turbo mode, which lets the entire game play at 1.2x speed, increasing the on-screen frenzy.
Of course, alongside the new content, there are several visual and technical improvements for PS5 and Xbox Series X. DMC5SE provides beam detection support on the new consoles (except in Series S) and has significantly increased the frame rates. There is also the huge improvement that both consoles have made to the charging times via their SSDs. Read our title review to see how well this new version performs.
In February last year, almost one year after the launch, Devil can cry 5 was, according to Capcom, already the best-selling game in the series’ history. This information was released via Capcom’s official website where the total number of copies of Devil can cry 5 sold was 3.1 million at the time. It just surpasses that of Devil Can Cry 4, which currently amounts to 3.0 million.
