[Multiplatform] Devil May Cry 4

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.

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

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 was speaking idiomatically.

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

Spoiler:

Virgil cutting Dante's reaching hand at the very end of DMC3.

Yeah it seems very unlikely that he's been affected by that, but I can't get my mind off of it.

FELIPE NO

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.

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

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

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Nero/Nelo Angelo AKA Vergil.

How ya doing, buddy?

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.

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

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

I was speaking idiomatically.

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.



Most amazing jew boots

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.

FELIPE NO

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.

Most amazing jew boots

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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!

How ya doing, buddy?

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.

Most amazing jew boots

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

Spoiler:

we all know that we kill him in DMC1, well at least that what I thought

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)

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

Some low res images courtesy of neo2046:


I was speaking idiomatically.

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)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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.



FELIPE NO

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.

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

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.
