[Multiplatform] Devil May Cry 4

http://www.gamevideos.com/download?v...D_1280x720.wmv

This is not best quality but definatley BEST action sequences ever to grace videogames.
These cutscenes puts MGS4 into shame, kojima may cry.

Be objective and judge yourselves.

And BTW it might be my taste but trish and lady both, in trailer above sure looks hot.

And again it might only be me but for me DMC4 >MGS4 and NG2.
Capcom is Capcom no match.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Nooooo, gamevideos is currently messed up, godamnit. And I wanted to see something that tops MGS4, lemme see, lemme see, lemme see... DAMN!

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

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 was speaking idiomatically.

Lady's DMC3 costume was better.

Although it's probably available as a secret costume.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I agree with Megalith (oh god .. >.<)

btw, what's the release date of DMC4 again?

FELIPE NO

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.

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

We don't know an official US release rightnow. JPN release is late November. So if it goes the way of DMC 3, we'll see 4 around March.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If that's true, then I'm just gonna import it (thumbs up to the region free games feat. for the PS3). I'm assuming it'll have dual language options just like DMC3.

And here's a much better quality version of the showfloor TGS trailer at Game Trailers. Heh, I just noticed that there's a nice shot where the camera is panning down and past Gloria's butt.

Gametrailers.com - Devil May Cry 4 - TGS 07 Showfloor Trailer

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sure you can import it. And the game's VO is in English ONLY. However all the menues are in Japanese ONLY, so be warned. US release date is February according to IGN. I might as well wait and play it with the DualShock 3.

Also looks like that tranformation thing with Nero in the new trailer is just a weapon.

Its Dantes weapon, if i am getting you correctly not Neros.
Nero's deviltrigger or transformations isn't shown yet

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

It's not that. It's jsut that some people like Hantei thought that Nero's arm looked to be consuming him based on footage in the TGS trailer where Nero had what we know now to just be a weapon. That's all.

But yeah, it's probably just something like Beowolf.

I knew the VO would be english only, but I was wondering if the there's an english option for the menus seeing as how there appeared to be one available in DMC3 (they even gave you the option for korean menus). Be nice if there is, I wonder if the reason why it's being released later for NA is because they're going to tweek the difficulty settings again for our version.

Uhh I'm pretty sure those are Dante's new gauntlets, besides the fact that it's Dante who has them equipped, it's been said that Nero wouldn't be getting new weapons. I'm willing to bet you get the Gilgamesh after defeating that plant/snake boss we saw in the TGS trailers, heh seeing as how the gaunlets have stingers on them. Makes me wonder what kind of weapon Dante will be getting from Berial.


An interview with Kobayashi.
Game | Life - Wired Blogs

Something that caught my eye:

Quote:

Because a big part of the fan base is guys, we always put in a nice sexy character, hence Gloria. In the past we've used Trish, who is a recurring character, and also Lady. Lady appeared in 3, and now she's about ten years older than she was in that one, but she's grown up very nicely, as you'll see.

Interesting to hear that DMC4 is about 10 years after DMC3. This probably makes Lady about 28 maybe even 30 in DMC4 (this is of course assuming she was at least 18 in DMC3), heh I certainly didn't expect that. I'm guessing that means DMC4, with respect to DMC1, is probably 7 or 5 years after it.


Here's another interview with Kobayashi:
TGS07: Kobayashi Gives Lowdown On DMC4, 360, More

Interesting points:

Quote:

GI: Can you say anything about if Vergil will play a role?

Kobayashi: Sorry, but Vergil will not play a role.

Heh, just cause he said Vergil doesn't mean Nelo Angelo won't make an appearance. Gonna stick with that belief till I play the game myself.

Quote:

GI: You’ve said in the past that there’s a prescribed place in the game where you’ll be able to play as Dante. Will you be able to, if you beat the game, play through it again as him, even though it would kind of mess up the story?

Kobayashi: To answer your question, no, because the story dictates when you’ll pass to Dante. You can’t go back and play as Dante from the beginning.

So, it sounds like you'll occasionally be swapping between the 2 characters throughout the game (which makes more sense story wise, I guess). So that flushes out the possibly of Nero taking a hike half way through, which I thought might happen (eg. was thinking Nero would get consumed by the arm's desire for power).

Quote:

GI: Has adding the 360 version added any extra development time and pushed back the release date?
Kobayashi: Yes, it did add a little bit of time. We didn’t even start development on the 360 version until after the announcement was made—it was like, “Oh, we’re going to make it for the 360. We’d better get started.” It wasn’t that we were almost done with the 360 version and we made the announcement, it was the other way around. We made the announcement and then we started development.

Heh, what I'm getting from this comment is that the 360's version is to blame for DMC4's delay.

How ya doing, buddy?

IGN: Devil May Cry 4 Preview

New details sound really cool.
I wish to check the complete demo they showed.
New dante weapons=plain badass.

PS3 version will have some sort of sixaxis support, alos game is slated for Feb 2008.
Demo is also planned.

IGN: Devil May Cry 4 Trailer, Videos and Movies

HD of previous TGS bad ass trailer is also avaiable in HD on GT.

FELIPE NO

Ooo, the trailer actually has english subtitles this time.

New weapons sound interesting, from what they described, Lucifer kinda sounds like Vergil's phantom blades, and Pandora's box sounds like it's a multipurpose gun.

Quote:

Kobayashi pointed out that the game is not two separate stories as previously thought, but instead one massive tale where the player will start and finish the Nero part of Devil May Cry 4 before picking up as Dante and finishing the entire game.

Sounds like my prediction was correct afterall. The story starts with Nero but finishes with Dante. That must mean something happens to Nero at the end of his part (arm's desire for power consumes him? transforms/possessed by Nelo Angelo??). This is relieving news, as I had feared that we would have to constantly switch between the two, especially if Dante plays as well as it appears.

Another interesting note, looks like Japan isn't getting this one early, it seems that they're planning for a simultaneous worldwide release as all 3 regions say Feb 2008. Hopefully the demo pops up on the PSN and/or Live Marketplace by December or earlier.

The actors/actresses are revealed.

Nero - Johnny Bosch
Dante - Reuben Langdon
Kyrie - Laura Napoli
Credo - Daniel Southworth
Agnus - TJ Storm
Gloria - Danielle Burgio
Sanctus - Liam O'Brien

Oh and the short version of the TGS trailer is available for download on the NA PSN and the Live Marketplace. Here's hoping the long version (aka Gamer's Day trailer) becomes available in the coming weeks.



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

Yeah I've been looking for a downloadable version of the Long TGS trailer for some time now. Even the GT one isn't downloadable and is in Flash format.

Heh. Nero's actor is the same guy who did Vash in the Trigun anime and Ichigo in BLEACH

Dante's actor is the same as DMC3.... SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! ^^

UPDATE!!!
I was looking around the net when I stumbled on the obvious. Devil May Cry Main Site The site has been TOTALLY reworked to serve as the series' archive of everything for the series. I'm not kidding. From every character, enemy, weapon to entire game storyline outlines, including the endings. Also they have all the currently released info on DMC4 nicely collected on the site too.

If you've been wanting to quickly brush up on your storylines or what have you. Definately check out DMC's new main site.

It even helped me place the timeline of the DMC anime. Because Trish and Dante changed the shop name to "Devil Never Cry" at the end of DMC1, that means that it takes place right between 3 and 1. Making 4 most likely taking place after 1 but before 2.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Confirmed day one purchase:

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I smell gloria as unlockable character not trish or lady.
I also smell boss fight with gloria at some point.

How ya doing, buddy?

I didn't follow the anime, cause it was kinda boring, but what was Trish and Dante's relationship in the anime series? Were they allies? Or just strangers? If they were allies then that doesn't make too much sense for the shop to be still named Devil May Cry in the anime, as they both didn't meet till DMC1. Seeing as how the shop's name changes to Devil Never Cry at the end of 1, then that would mean the shop's name should be still as such in the anime. Heh, this is of course running on the assumption that Trish and Dante are unacquainted in the anime series.

Meh, I doubt the playable Gloria. If Lady wasn't playable in DMC3, then can't see Gloria being playable in DMC4 (if she was, then I'm sure everyone would be asking, why not Trish, why not Lady). Though, I do agree with there possibly being a boss fight with Gloria, perhaps as Dante?

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

Actually lady can't be a playable character, she doesn't has any weapon to make combos.
That heavy launcher is not creative stuff for developers.
Trish again lacks any weapons.

Gloria looks like souped up lucia version, much better.
She is athlete, moves fast, doing tight moves in cutscenes, she can be a decent character with decent MOVESET.

Prducer didnt mention the anime in timeline(gameinformer interview or gamespy one).
he said 3,1 and then 4 not even 2 is mentioned.

Yes , they knew each other b4hand in anime.
actually they make fool of lady.
I think anime is canon.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm sitting here at work where it's dead reading the latest issue of PLAY. The magazine has an interview with Hiroyuki Kobayashi, Producer of DMC4.

In the interview it is asked what the timeline is.
Answer: "DMC3, DMC1, DMC4."

Next PLAY asked why Trish and Lady appear to know one another in the TGS trailer.
Answer: "They actually meet eachother for the first time in the DMC anime which takes place after DMC1 but before DMC4.

So there's the chronology. For thoes who don't know in the anime Trish and Dante take "a break" from one another. Trish can't handle Dante's lack of responsability eating Piiza and Strawberry Sundaes all the time. And Dante can't handle Trish on his back all the time. So I guess Dante changed the shop name back to Devil May Cry after Trish left, lol. (who knows)

As for Lady's age. In the interview the Producer sais that Lady had no official age in DMC3, but they figured that she was in her late teens (uhhh... I'd say at least 19). And in DMC4 she's in her late 20s.

Apparently Nero as a character is a laid back, hot blooded, direct sort of person. So he won't have the amount of humour as Dante. As well as you won't see him missile surfing yelling "YEAH!", or rocking a guitar beating up baddies. However Dante still maintains his character of 3.

When asked about his opinion of the new Ninja Gaiden 2 Hiroyuki responds simply, "It looks like Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox". When asked about his position about Itagaki and his dislike of the DMC series Hiroyuki responds, "He does what he does, we do what we do. (laugh)".

Hiroyuki ends the interview with a short paragraph. To sum it up. The game has Nero at the beginning and Dante at the end because Dante is already a hero and to start the game with him you'd be dropped right into the middle of the game. So with Nero being a rookie you have to build him up while starting with only the basics. This mechanically allows them to round the curve more so then it was with DMC3 while maintaining the games difficulty when you get to Dante in DMC4.

That's it. Done. What a great interview. Made the magazine worth while, lol. Sorry for the broken format of the post.I was basically adding the parts as I read to make it as accurate to the interview as I could. Still can't wait for the game. ^^

P.S.
He also sais in the closing comment that DMC4 will hit American shores at, "...the very beginning of the year".

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

LOL NG remarks are soo right, NG2 really looks like expansion pack.
So the very beginning is FEB?

FELIPE NO

*Cough*
While it seems some of you dont like the second song of the trailer, I personally like it a lot, and think it fits the whole storyline that is presented.
Anyone know the name of the song or will we have to wait for the release of the soundtrack in December?

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

Actually if Lady was available via AI in DMC3 (boss fight, credits), then it's possible for her to be playable too. Heh, just wouldn't be as much fun as Dante. If you remember from DMC2, Trish was playable and wielded dual pistols (I think they were Luca & Ombra, Sparda's guns) and Sparda's sword. Heh, and her style was identical to Dante's. So no she doesn't lack weapons.

Heh, Gloria definitely looks like she'll play pretty much just like Lucia, if she were made playable. Though again, I don't think it'll happen. Story's main playable heros are limited to Nero and Dante, with no option to play as either one for the whole game, and I just don't see Gloria being playable unless she's got a significant impact to the story (like Lucia did, I guess).

Ahh, so complications in their relationship is what caused the shop's name change. How unfortunate, heh cause in my eyes a true sequel to DMC1 would be when they name the game Devil Never Cry. Heh, and I also placed Lady's age 18 or 19 too, there's no way she looks over 30 (cause supposedly DMC4 takes place 10 years after DMC3) in DMC4.

Haha, I gotta agree with Kobayashi's comment on NG2. Of course that'll probably all change once they show something more than a pre-rendered teaser and a handful of screens.

"Very beginning of the year" = first week of January to me. But yea, that kinda contradicts his recent comment at Gamer's Day about a simultaneous worldwide release in Feb 2008. But whatever, the sooner I get to play the game, the better. Getting tired of all these delayed announcements.

Heh, it's actually grown on me. Seeing as how no one knows the name of the metal song though, it isn't likely that info on the TGS trailer's song is available either. So yes, pretty much no info till the soundtrack's release in December.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Jap release announced, finally!
