It's after DMC1 & 2.

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

Jam it back in, in the dark.

- 60fps
- Besides guns and swords you also use Nero's right arm to pull off devil actions with the "Devil Bringer", its an ability that the PS2 could not handle
- The TGS demo will have you playing Nero as well

How ya doing, buddy?

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

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Some other details gathered from Famitsu thanks to duckroll at Gaming-Age:

Quote:

Nero has devilish right arm. He can draw enemies toward himself and then throw them.
He starts to realise his powers in DMC4. DMC4 portraits Nero when he earns his powers and hereafter.
- They chose Nero because Dante was overused (3 games) & they wanted to put the new users and the old fans in the same starting line for DMC4.
- Nero looks like Dante because the silver hair and red coat is more like a symbol to the DMC series/
- "Dante is grim and he can't settle down. As story progresses the situation changes, how's that?" says Kobayashi meaning that Dante might be playable.
-They introduced the right arm draw-throw system because in DMC3 when you beat the enemies, combos brake. Besides expect the sword and weapons this system provides multiple choises and the fun expands, However depending on the enemy you can't draw and throw everyone of them.
- The combo system has as base the one from DMC3 & they are revising/reworking details according to the fans' comment-remarks.
-Nero's sword has a bar. The sword has somekind of a driving force in it. It's a new way/element to enjoy the sword handling.
-In TGS there will be real time footage.
-Nero is a knight within the Order of the Demon Blade, a religious order which protects the secrets and powers of demons from the world.
- There's no indication that he is the Vergil that we know from DMC3 and DMC1.
- The game is set in a huge city known as Fortuna.
- The people here believe that Sparda is a god, and the Order that Nero works for wants to undo Sparda's seal.
- It is for this purpose that Nero ends up in this city, but here his entire unit is slaughtered
by the demon hunter Dante.

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.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The story sounds interesting, working for an Order that's out to release Sparda with Dante trying to put a stop to it. So I'm guessing this Sparda must be an imitator of sorts if Dante is trying to stop Nero/Nelo. I wonder when they're gonna start introducing our female supporting cast, who I'm assuming are Trish and Lady.

Perhaps this will utilize the PS3's motion detector thingy.

They're not trying to release Sparda but the seal Sparda put in place in the city of Fortuna. Sparda at one point must of defeated all the demons and whatever big bad was there and sealed them away in hell which is why the people look upon Sparda as a "god" of sorts. The Order now wants to break the seal and unleash whatever was sealed away.

Some of the plot reminds me of MGS2 as if Nero (Raiden) is seemingly carrying out his missions with no real knowledge of who Dante is or the Order's goals other than what he's been told or supposed to know by the Order. Dante (Solid Snake) naturally has all the answers and clues Nero in as to who he actually his and what he's trying to unleash. All you'd need is Vergil to possess Nero's right arm and we'd have Metal Gear Cry.

I hope the TGS special announcement is online co-op.

How ya doing, buddy?

Why wait!

Clearly it's Dante in this shot so he must be playable at some point.

As close to the launch window as possible, at least that's what Sony wants but the game still has a year of development to go yet.

The demo is running at 60fps but I mean if it dips here and there that's still not bad for a demo to a game only 5% complete and over a year away. Capcom did say though that they can render DMC4 at 100fps on the PS3.

The official site now has the trailer up:
http://www.capcom.co.jp/devil4/main.html

Take not but it seems both Dante and Vergil's VAs from DMC3 are heard in the trailer along with the actor voicing Nero...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

and Dante say something like : Return it to me and I'll let you go.

So I think the arm thing might be about Vergil and Dante want it back.

but anyone feel weird about Dante? he really seem to be the bad guy, I don't know his attitude is kind of different then in the other dmc...

anyway still look awesome and can I say that I love that opera song! ^^

His arm in a cast seemed to be there to hide the fact his arm is possessed. Dante being portrayed almost as if he's the enemy seems like the Order's intentions may not be so good so they're trying to misinform Nero as to who Dante his, ala similiar to MGS2 where Snake seemingly is supposed to be enemy in Raiden's eyes.

Wild hypothesis but maybe the Order forced the spirit of Vergil/Nelo into Nero's arm to ultimately serve as a key to open a door to the underworld to "resurrect" Sparda.

and I hope there will be a girl as badass as Lady was or Trish ^^

If this artwork is any indication then it looks like both Trish and Lady will be making a return:


....Looking back on that art you can clearly see Nero in the background and the large face looks almost like the statue you see in the church during the TGS trailer...

That was because of DMC2 which lacked any challenge whatsoever and all you basically had to do was hold down the square button. DMC3 was a return to old, and better, form but it also depends on which version you play as the Japanese original was fair and balanced while the US release took out the unlimited continue system that was carried over from DMC1 and bumped up the prices on the items making the game unbalanced and unforgiving should you make the slightest mistake.

Thankfully Capcom rectified this with the Special Edition release IIRC.

New Famitsu out revealing Trish and Lady!
