Notice he has the black vein stuff in his hand.

That's why i'm saying this guy is Vergil, those are not tatoos, is the corruption flowing through his body. The coat has a weak blue tint, and the hair is white( it looks black/gray because of the lightning in the artwork)

THIS IS VERGIL, i'm 100% sure of it.


He looks like he's also holding an unsheathed katana in his right hand

Here's a quick side by side comparison between DMC4 and DMCV Nero's animations. A lot of these are obvious, but I thought it'd be fun to be able to watch them next to each other:

Red Queen Combo 4:

Buster:

Highroller into Aerial Combo:

Lock-on Side Roll (in lieu of or in addition to universal dodge?):

New stuff:
Quicksilver?

New Aerial Charge Shot or Mobility Move? Nero didn't have Skystar in DMC4:

And there's the other arm stuff, like the rocket punch, arm riding, other Buster Type moves.

I was initially off put by the art style and featuring Nero as the primary character, BUT... Nah, I'm definitely still excited. I think Capcom's late 2010s character art style is going to be this kind of photoreal look across all their games.

Nero's grown into a bit more of a DMC lead now, IMO. I used to think he had good visual design and gameplay design, but his personality was annoying... Looks like that will no longer be the case as far as I'm concerned.

I don't think Capcom is going for a DmC style or a fusion of the two. That's a weird take to have.

DmC is far more different both thematically and artistically compared to DMC5. DMC5 ditched its anime style and that's as far as the similarities goes.

If it's DmC-inspired we would need to have Vergilmobile levels of fedora nonsense.
DmC also did the whole limbo thing where the demons weren't actually present in the real world. This is clearly not that.

DMC5 looks exactly like what I would expect an RE engine DMC to look like, nothing to do with DmC.

The scanned faces are really the only thing that need getting used and that's only because of how anime the previous ones were.

Ya know, this is the BEST trailer so far of E3 2018. The surprise, the action, the music, the pacing. Everything I want from a trailer is here. CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH SHIT

AND THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY VIRGIL IS BACK BECAUSE DANTE BROKE HIM OUT OF HELL AND THE END OF DMC2


OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
So in the original Devil May Cry, the Knight that Dante fought was Vergil, right? I never beat 2, but what is Vergil's role in that story? 3's a prequel... Does he appear in 4?
And is Dmc cannon or a feverish dream?

Lots of things were wrong.
Unreal Engine 4.
Being called V instead of 5.
Being a PSX announcement that got pushed to Sony's E3 (which would literally mean that Sony held it back to hand it over to Microsoft, right..).
No mention of Xbone in the original post and that the PC release would come later.

Things like Dante and Nero being playable as safe bets, and it looks like the third playable character isn't even Vergi as the leak claimed, granted he wasn't sure about that one, but yeah, wrong on that account too.

His source was not legitimate, end of story. You don't change an engine in 6 months.
The main thing that were wrong are engine and where it was eventually shown. There wasn't mention of Xbox One but he did clarify later on that it will come to Xbox One too.

Everything else is correct on there and there is a lot of things to get correct. 3 playable characters, release date is correct, even the logo having a "V" on it (there is a giant V in the background), Nero/Vergil confrontation, showcase at E3 and not at PSX (remember that leak predates even PSX/TGA) etc. The rest of the stuff we need to get hands on the game to check though. I think there is enough benefit of the doubt here that he be let go but I would advise SoS to double check sources next time more LOL!

Vergil would never get a tattoo. Not DmC's Vergil and not DMC3's vergil either. IMO. Fight me.

How mind blowing would it be if the guy on the right is Demi-Fiend and Dante brought him back from hell?

I thought the bosses and some parts were more DMC4 than DmC. After watching it again, only Nero and the early parts of the trailer looked DmC. It seemed to take the best of both worlds and merged it.

I think Virgil will be the villain and the tattoo guy will be a completely new playable character.

Finally... finally Devil May Cry is back. I don't know what to say. I'm just happy. The GamingBrit video on it is just perfect.

I'm thinking that Vergil may be a bit messed up if that is him as the 3rd person.

I still think his source lied to him and all of that stuff were just safe bets from him, you don't change an entire engine in 6 months man.
