I don't really think they're spoilers. Any good story requires to be told for it all to make sense. So if just flashing a few scenes with next to no explination ruines the game, then the story didn't have much to offer to begin with.

However I feel that none of that is the case. And I'm more excited to see how things go down and Dante's new lines then for the actual story itself.

Does anyone even care about Nero? Judging from the trailers, he's just another whiny emo pretty boy.

I can't believe I have to rush through half of the game just to play as Dante.

It pretty much seems like Nero is going to be the main boss at the end of the game with the power taking over him.
And yeah no one cares about Nero. And speaking of no one cares, what the hell ever happened to the red haired girl from dmc2. I only beat the Dante part of that game and seeing that Trish and Lady are in part 4 did they just kill her off @_@

dmc2 is happening after dmc4 in the time line, so we are not suppose to know her yet >.> but in the same time Capcom is acting like dcm2 never existed since it's just that bad...

what really? I don't have a next gen console yet i so don't even bother researching the games but dmc4 is before dmc2? So they'll probably do prequel after prequel until they release a remake of part 2 ~_~?
It's not like it matters. dmc4 is the first game actually linking characters from different games (part 1 and 3) and the story is just another "take over sparda/demons underworld power"

The story looks more to be about Nero and Kylie to me; so it's quite a bit different than standard DMC fair.

The story is that of Nero and Kylie but when things get out of hand it's left up to Dante to clean up the mess.

And NO, DMC2 will never be linked to the series because the lead director of DMCs 1,3 & 4 had nothing to do with 2 and therefore has no use for the game and it's random events. He doesn't even acknowledge it as cannon in interviews like the one with him and PLAY.

Not really directed to anyone here, it's more the mentioning that reminds me of this then a response. But this "Emo" labeling crap is really starting to piss me off. If a character has spikey hair and a persons doesn't like then they simply call it "Emo".

I like how's it just become some misc. bin of random objects. Sure characters like Cloud "could" be called Emo because of how he actually acts. But... (Megalith, this is just an example cause I know you weren't being serious or could probably care less) a character like Nero, (looks aside) acts NOTHING like the Emo steriotype dictates. If anything he's more a pissed off teen with minor angst issues. Not some cry baby that listens to Coheed & Cambria 24/7 and makes blog posts every few hours every time their parents yell at them and they break down crying.

Nah, that's not the case as we see Nero at the end of the trailer confronting the colossus (who seemed to have a broken right horn). If anything I'm thinking Nero probably passed out on the colossus, with the Yamato jabbed into his arm on it, hence why Dante is shouting towards/at the thing. I'm thinking we'll either we'll be finishing that fight with Nero, or there'll be another neat little co-op bit with Dante and Nero.

The Japanese PSN has the final trailer up for download, along with it being available on the games official site.

Oh and some scans showing off Nero's DT. Sure does look an awful lot like Vergil/Nelo Angelo.

*EDIT* Oh the trailer is also on the NA PSN. It's under the "Newest Video's" folder. Heh, interesting to note that in the english trailer, english subtitles of course, Nero's line "Give me more power!" is actually in quotes, which is most likely indicating they're not Nero's word but those of his possessor..

Sweet! Thanks for the OST upload. Gonna have to check it out once it's done downloading.

Awesome! Thanks for the share! Still waiting for my copy to arrive in the mail.

Ueda brought charm to DMC1, which is clearly missing in this one.
Extremely generic stuff, DMC3 approach but still music is big part for me in games and this game lacks , atleast against DMC1.

I know it will not be so bothering and fit in game, but they could have made melodiuos tracks.

It doesn't seem to be any worse than the music in 3, plus for those playing on the 360 you can just replace the music anyway if it bothers you so much.

The only track I really liked from that special soundtrack was The idol of the “Time and Space”. Sounds like the kind of music you hear while browsing the divinity statue thing.
Hopefully the full soundtrack has some more pleasant surprises for us.

Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Thank you very much.

I really like the "Shall never surrender" song, and its the one from the trailer.
Yes!

thanks for the share! Looking forward to playing this game when it comes out. Now I just need to decide if I should get this on PS3 or 360. Those achievements are drawing me to the 360 version.

Most previews says that the PS3 version has the slight graphical and performance edge however. As well if you've ever played DMC before you'd already be used to the PS controller. But in the end they're not all that different so I don't suppose it matters all that much.

Still I myself always buy the source build of the game for maximum everything.

From the latest Famitsu article:

Devil May Cry 4 (PS3)

* HDD install is 4900MB (4.9GB) @ around 21 minutes of install.
*This feature NOT available for the 360 version, on any 360 SKU.
* Save files are 3392KB (3.3 MB).
* Some variety of PSN support.XBLA will have it's equivalents as well.
* 5.1 LPCM audio. This also is only supported by the PS3 version since it's a feature of the Blu-Ray disc.

LPCM?

PS3 version for me.

That's great and all. But sometimes the HDD installation doesn't increase anything (VF5 is just as fast on the 360 as installed on the PS3). Othertimes it makes a huge difference. Therefore I'd like to see a video comparison of the load times or at least a testimony as to whether it makes a difference. But seeing how it's only out in Japan right now and that only like 2 people own a 360 over there it seems, I probably won't find out till the game comes out here.

As to the LPCM thing I'd be excited more if I knew how all the 200+ audio formats ranked amongst one another. More specifically the order from best to worst of the following;

Dolby Digital 5.1
DTS 5.1
LPCM
PCM
Bitstream

My personal ranking:

1. LPCM/PCM
2. DTS-HD MA
3. TrueHD
4. DTS/-HD
5. Dolby Digital/+

Theoretically, there is no difference between the first three, because they all result in an uncompressed/lossless audio track, but when we figure in practicality, that is the definitive order...in my opinion, anyways.

And bitstream isn't a format, it's a method of stream transport.

Bizzare then is it not that my 5.1 system supports LPCM and DD but not DTS? I really don't know which is why I ask.

Man, that's a huge install, I only have, like, 4gigs left on my drive. Better clean out the older trailers, and pointless demos.

Uhh, it's not released in Japan yet. It's January 31st for them, with the NA release Feb 5th and PAL release Feb 8th, so technically they are still meeting the worldwide simultaneous release they're aiming for.
