Yeah guys cool down,the producer said that Dante will look really good.

Capcom knows well that Dante is, what makes the game appealing,so they will definately make him really hard ass looking.

Don't go on the first trailer render of his face,Capcom has reputaion of changing the Protagonist models even in the last hours of development.

like
Onimusha 2,
Dead rising,
Dante and Trish in DMC1 etc.

Regarding the Enzo thing, that was from Viewtiful Joe when you played as Dante. It was a more gag, than anything. Just the original producers/creators making fun of DMC2's failure, or creating a scapegoat of sorts.

That flash was pretty cool too, I'm guessing the blue 4 is hinting at the return of Vergil.

I really wonder when this game's taking place. In the early concept arts I remember seeing images of Nelo Angelo, Lady, and Trish. So maybe between 3 and 1...

Eh, with the way this is going they really should have just named DMC3 DMC0 instead. As the numbering for the series is only going to get more out of whack if the chronology is gonna be all over the place. Heh, if only DMC2's existence could have been erased.

I can't wait till TGS! Hopefully Dante's face will be significantly reworked.

It's after DMC1 & 2. :)

We'll probably end up finding out alot more about DMC4 this week if Famitsu PS2 hits stands.

Confirmed??

Finally a PROPER sequel. But damn you "PS3 exclusive" ;_;

I'm pretty sur that it will be after dmc2, but there's really nothing comfirmed...

all we know is that, the very first video they show about dmc4 you see dante in a winter area with a dark castle in the horizon... and there's those scan artwork which show Dante new look with a "fur coat"...

so they don't really say when in the DMC timeline it will take place, but I think I heard that they wanted to show a more mature Dante in this one...I don't really have an objection, but really don't bring back the silent-boring-Dante from DMC2 >.<

That "arm" thing reminds me of Yeah it seems very unlikely that he's been affected by that, but I can't get my mind off of it.

A shocker from famitsu

The hero is Nero. Dante also emerges, but whether he will be playable,is unclear.

Devil May Cry 4 in the series: 3 > 1 > 4 > 2.

60 fps.

Tokyo Game show-playable Devil May Cry 4, and there is a surprising announcement.

Who in the world is Nero? The white-hair-dude is Dante right?

Nero/Nelo Angelo AKA Vergil.

Whoa, whoa whoa. Where did you guys get this information?

The new issue of Famitsu. duckroll over at GAF confirmed the information given he's located in Japan. :)

Hmm. Hope it's true. I guess we'll just have to wait three days for the good news.

Nope, it's true alright. Duckroll was the one that broke out quite a bit of the FFXII news/spoilers/etc when the game hit in Japan. The question is, what could this all mean?

Maybe Vergil's still looking to become more powerful, and his arm is a manifestation of that desire? Or he isn't fully "Vergil" after having spent so long as Nero/Nelo Angelo under Mundus.

Well, Vergil wasn't exactly evil so much as ...you know, the typical "I want power by any means to protect people!" type. His arm's probably wiggin' out or something, like a manifestation of that desire (Metal Sphere). He could still be Vergil, but if he was somehow freed, then his arm could be a remnant of what Mundus ''promised" him.

It'll probably be awesome if they made Dante an unlockable. First Dante appearance on PS3 and we can't use him. =\

[edit] Sounds awesome; must be some super cool visual effect.

Sounds like he summons demons or something, that would definitely be a neat visual effect. Like a massive feeding frenzy, with massive amounts of motion blur, effects, etc..

Looking at the gif, it doesn't seem like he's using the sword from DMC3. His arm matches what it looks like when he was in full Nelo Angelo regalia. Kurado, that sounds like a clever twist. A remnant of Mundus' promise, or at least the power Mundus gave Vergil to stay in devil form permanently.

Holy crap! Sweet, we get to play as Nelo. The positive fan reaction to playing as Vergil in DMC3 SE must have really affected the decision. Haha, also the 4 in the title actually gave it a clear hint that Vergil had some role. Heh never really paid much attention to it, but if you look closely the character looks like Vergil or Nelo.

So I'm guessing Vergil and Dante will be partnering in the business, with Dante probably being playable on some level. Naturally assumed, I mean why else would they keep the title if Dante or his company isn't involved?

Guns? That seems rather out of character for Vergil. Perhaps the guns part of it is directed more towards Dante, even though it isn't confirmed.

Story wise this should be an interesting, cause I assumed that Nelo/Vergil died after Dante's 3rd battle with him. Hmm, perhaps he's trying to find himself now... I'd imagine his mental state is unstable, as it always seemed to be the case whenever he saw the pendant/amulet that he and Dante had. And he seemed shattered at the end of the 3rd battle.

Man, the numbering for the series is all out of whack now. You can't play the games in numerical order if you intend on following the stories chronologically. Technically DMC4 really should be DMC1.5. Then again, I guess this really effects new comers more than vet's of the series, though still annoying. Heh, DMC2 really fucked it up.

Ahh, can't wait to see some footage and screens!

Guys, remember Super Corrupt Vergil? These bits of concept art kind of have the same hair. Basically, it looks like what I'd imagine SCV would be when not in DT.

great I doN,t mind to play either of them ^^

but I really don,t think that it will take place after DMC1 in the timeline because



I think it will be like juste before dmc1 happen, like in the "secret ending" you see Vergil running to Mundus.

It will probably be this story or maybe like a parallel story of DMC1 (like you play the story of Vergil in dmc1)

or i'm totally wrong and this come after dmc1 >.> anyway, any of those scenario is fine with me XD (well I would perfer a new story than the side story of dmc1)

wow that look so nice!!!

but Vergil look too much like Dante in those screen...

I know they are twin bother, but he look too much like Dante too me.

maybe they will do like dmc3 special edition, you'll have the choice to play the game with Vergil or Dante.

well anyway it's look prety cool and now I really like his face XD I just wish they will not just turn Vergil in a Dante copy...they are twin brother but they sure are different...(and in those scan he doesn't seem pretty different from Dante)

Cool, so it does look like we get to play as Vergil/Nelo and Dante. Looks like Nelo uses a revolver magnum, pretty sweet. Though, seems rather ironic that the blue clad Nelo would use a sword called the Red Queen.

The boss/enemy in the screen looks pretty cool too, though a lot like the Balrog (from LotR).

And man those new combo/style phases are even worse this time. Do it, Come on, Big up, All that... Heh, pretty bad. But hey, a least the facial models appear to be redone, a lot better than the previous ones. Though the graphics don't really appear to be next gen to me, then again it might be the low res scans.

Also, looks like I might right about the two brothers partnering up. As it certainly doesn't look like they're facing off, with Dante looking over his shoulder.

http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/9508/dmc4qs3.jpg

The combo/style phrases have always been intentionally corny so it's not a surprise they've only become more so. This is all VERY nice, I must say.

Some other details gathered from Famitsu thanks to duckroll at Gaming-Age:
When Kobayashi was asked about their plans for TGS, aside from revealing the info about a playable demo with Nero, Kobayashi mentioned how they'd be hold a key stage event to unveil a real time trailer along with a special announcement.

A completly new character, that's cool, though he does resemble Dante's look. (Glad they didnt go for the uglier model from the earlier shots, why they even bother rendering something like that is beyond me)

Looks like there may be some twists in the story too, hope the gameplay is still as solid as DMC3 and DMC.
