People shouldn't be realistically expecting DMCV reveal at PSX or this year for that matter. Probably just going to be an E3 thing.

Since potentially a DMC5 reveal is getting close, how does one get access to the DMC discord? I want to believe.

edit: Thanks Dahbomb!

It's not close (unless you mean E3 2018 is close) but I will gladly give you an invite.

Noctis has all the DNA to be a great character action game character. I would be hella down tbh. Regardless of all the flaws FFXV has, I found it's main cast to be one of the stronger aspects of the game. Especially Noctis. Dude is just likable.

I been cracking into DMC4:SE again recently because reasons. Got a warm-up with the missions, and then decided to try out some Lady in the BP. I didn't spend much time with her before, but gatdam her combos are fun. Raw power incarnate right there.

I know, right?

I know the likelihood of her being included out the box for DMC5 is slim, but I really hope she and Trish both get carried over into the new game. A few new weapons/Sparda transformations for each is all I'd ask for. Anything more would just be the icing on the cake.

I need Lady to get her own set of enemies. Fun as hell to play, but makes most encounters a cakewalk.

They need to design better enemies. Almost two decades later and DMC1's set of enemies has yet to be topped (within the series).

You mean like the ones in DmC? Not much love for those gimmicks in character action.
Think he's referring more to the system that was in DMC3 with Devil Arms having certain elements attached to it, like Cerberus being ice and vulnerable to Agni & Rudra since it's wind and fire. It was neat, but it felt largely negligible after a point not unlike Vergil's Concentration Meter in DMC4 SE

I always found exploiting the elemental weaknesses to be extremely useful, especially when you DT for that extra damage boost. It also adds a layer of prep and strategy to encounters, which is fun in itself.

Cool thanks for clearing that up. I honestly had no idea that was even a system.

Of course Kamiya wants to make a DMC cross over. Not sure how it would play out exactly, but playing as Dante against Bayonetta enemies sounds like some shit I need.

We can now include Valkyria Chronicles 4 existing and being a full fledged console game in the list of improbable announcement that happened before DMC 5.

Yup. The three affinities were light (Beowulf), ice (Cerberus), and fire (Agni & Rudra). Lightning (Nevan) and dark (Rebellion/Yamato/Force Edge) technically exist, but they're just neutral so they don't mean anything. Some enemies (not all) were weak to and/or strong against particular elements. Some elements destroyed certain bosses/enemies more than others (Beowulf could total Doppelgänger). It gets more negligible in high level play since your combos are probably insane anyways (similar to Concentration), but it's still a factor that either kills enemies quicker or lets them live longer. Though, if we stick to the playable systems in DMC5 that we have in DMC4:SE, then some characters would have an inherent advantage. Assuming the same elements would stick as in DMC3, then Vergil and Nero would have inherent advantages that none of the others have (Vergil's Beowulf and Nero's Red Queen Exceed).

Not a necessary mechanic by any means, but it'd be a fun one to see return. Adds a very small amount of depth, but depth none the less.

Also, I've been putting some time into Trish...Jesus christ. I love how every character is OP.

Was this system in 1? I have to try Beowulf out against Doppelganger when i finally get the style switcher mod working again.

As far as I know it was the only in DMC3, though it may have been in DMC2, given the amulet stuff.

If I'm being real, I wouldn't mind a full and complete remake of DMC2 with modern systems. If we don't get a DMC5, I'll take that as substitute.

I'm pretty sure Plasmas and Frosts were quicker to dispatch with Ifrit than Alastor, but then again Inferno wrecked everything effortlessly.

I remember when Kamiya denied Sega's permission to use Bayonetta in Project X Zone 2 because he wanted to be the first to do a DMC x Bayonetta.
