[Multiplatform] Devil May Cry 4

I smell Vergil. And Liquid Snake.

As usual, looking forward to anything Devil May Cry oriented. Can't wait for the inevitable gameplay footage to be released next week.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Capcom had better release either a Wii or 360 version of this. Unfortunately, I don't think I'd be willing to play a DMC game on anything BUT a Playstation. The controller suits the gameplay far too nicely.

They need like, some kind of controller converter for the other systems.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Not everybody is willing to blow 600 dollars on a machine with games that are, without a doubt, going to charge people in excess of 60 bucks. I sure as hell ain't.

I seriously think this big price tag will hamper the PS3's sales, especially with all of the backtracking Sony's doing with the hardware lately.

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

And technically DMC3, but that's a prequel so

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yeah, assuming death doesn't mean anything in games or anime (lol Bleach). I'd definitely like for Vergil to return with his own storyline this time. The single extra cutscene in the DMC3: Special Edition wasn't enough.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The PS3 can only deliver? lol.

But yeah, it's supposed to be an older Dante. Capcom also made a statement somewhere that the Dante featured in the E3 trailer is a test model and will not be the final product. They were 'merely' testing facial expressions using the PS3's hardware. I think the article's somewhere on IGN.

Most amazing jew boots

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

FELIPE NO

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

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Nero better be Vergil. I'm up for another twin showdown. Also needs more Lady.

I really dig the idea of Dante slaughtering Nero's crew. Dante being an NPC, at least during Nero's possible scenario (hopefully there's another from Dante's perspective), sounds too awesome.

I seriously don't want a PS3 with that price tag, but goddammit not even MGS4 was able to sway me like this inkling of news did. I guess it helps that I'm one of the many DMCwhores.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Nero isn't Vergil? What a shit refrree call.

If he's a remnant of Vergil, I guess that's fine. I'd still rather play as the true Vergil, though.

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

He did the cutscene choreography for DMC3.

Anyways I just saw the trailer. Action looks really awsome especially with that gunblade put into play.

Nero Angelo was the name Vergil assumed when he was under Mundus' control in Devil May Cry 1.

Random guy (Nero) has trademark white hair. Too coincidental, even for Capcom.

Nero wears a mostly blue outfit.

He might not be Vergil but a remnant of him (like ...eugh, Kadaj from FF: AC) or his arm could be Vergil's spirit, hence his obsession with power.

Other than that, yeah, I can't imagine why anybody would assume Nero's Vergil.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Saying Nero Angelo is dead is like telling Capcom Zero died for reals. I know it's very likely, but it's very possible for Vergil to be Zero Positive.

He wears red beneath the dark blue jacket. In earlier scans I thought the colors were reversed, but after watching the TGS trailer I've found that that's not the case. Different shade, yeah, but still blue.

I heard about Capcom/Kobayashi denying rumors that Nero is Vergil. I was actually just answering whatshisface's question about 'WHY' people keep thinking he's Vergil. It'd be nice if Verg returned, but for now I'm satisfied with just the Ocelot thing going on right now.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Oh, really (on the color of his jacket)?

...Fuck me tenderly, I think you're right. I guess wearing my glasses is something I should've considered doing today.

Also, is there ANY way I can play Region 2 DVDs on my PS2? I'm thinking of ordering one of those Sound DVDs Capcom's released. I already have Sacred Heart (ordered it at gkworld.com), but I want Raise the Dead and the new Trinity of Fates DVD.

FELIPE NO

I have a HD on my PS2 with an HDloader. Will that allow me to BURN the dvd to my PS2 and play it from there? I haven't heard of such a procedure but it seems kind of possible.

Kinda..?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Fuck Trish. If Lady returns, I'll be making cream puffs.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I miss Dante's cocky attitude and load mouth...

Oh and the music is pretty good too, though oddly reminds me of Nightwish (ew). Overall, I still think DMC1 had the best soundtrack, with the most memorable themes. I'm sure that'll still hold true even after DMC4 releases.

I thought Dante still sounded kinda cocky, even when being a cold-blooded badass in the church.

DMC4 for the Xbox360 and PC?

It's more likely than you think!

Although I can't speak moon-language, I saw 360 and PC, so it looks likely. Anybody (coughultimacough) wanna verify?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I have to say that after getting used to the 360 controller, I think I'd be able to play a DMC game just as well as I do on the PS3.

New DMC4 footage, courtesy of some site I'm not familiar with:

I'm uploading it on my youtube account now for those who don't want to download. Nero's moves are frickin' amazing -- especially the way he manhandles the boss towards the end.

Thanks for the update, Hantei. I've seen the Nero footage floating around for a while now, but Dante's was a more than welcome surprise. The remix of Dante's original battle track was awesome, even though that wasn't one of my favorite tracks from back in the day. I came.

Shit. Gonna have to pick this soundtrack up too.

FELIPE NO

Comparing the action cutscenes of MGS4 to Devil May Cry - a game whose sole purpose is to entertain with over-the-top action - is stupid. Both are awesome for their own reasons, but comparing the two is like trying to compare my penis size to that of LeHah's itty bitty boat (no big deal).

Edit:

So I just watched the extended, 3-minute long trailer Sexninja linked, and while I was glad to finally see old characters like Trish and Lady, I was a bit put off by the lame new theme song. Trailer starts off awesome and it's the battle music we've heard from the last trailer released, but then at the halfway point it breaks off into a gut-wrenching Creed-esque pop song more suitable for a Disney Channel drama than a game involving ...well, you know.

'Devils Never Cry' or whatever from DMC3 sounded ten times better (lolyoko) but I'm probably just jumping the gun. There'll probably be some remixed version of the song in the game or soundtrack better suited for DMC, but so far this romance drama between Nero and Kyrie is kind of annoying.

God I feel like Elixir right now.

Also: Uploaded the TGS trailer from the official website to youtube:

How ya doing, buddy?

I pity those who dont like trish.TSK TSK.

I pity those with shit tastes.

Although I did prefer Lady's original costume from DMC3, I'm fine with this redesign.

Trish still looks like a recovering crack whore.
