So looking at Maximillian's video, so Vergil ripped Nero's (his own son's) devil bringer out of him. Only question now is how he was revived.



Well Elphelt was given a new costume in GGXrd Revelator (with her Sign costume being an alternate), so I honestly don't see that being limiting, so as long as it's 3D graphics. Even then I'm more or less fine with the current SF aesthetic.

He was never confirmed dead. He was just under Mundus' control. That probably was shattered after his defeat in DMC1 where he disappears. It's always been left open, but most of us don't see that as a death. What he's been doing since then, who knows. He's clearly scarred/corrupt though. Maybe they'll take a leaf from the novels with the whole "Gilver" alias. Or, he just wants his freakin' sword back, since it's rightfully his, technically (gift from Sparda) and wreck shit!

The thought of Johnny Yong Botch making this expression is so amusing.

Wait if that's the case, I really had no idea. I gotta wonder what he as been doing between DMC1 and DMC5 then, only to start showing up now in the latter.

lol capcom must have seen how much backlash they got for DmC's artstyle and dante's look in mvc infinite and decided that they could make them look even worse.

Holy shit, Nero now can do not just Rocket Punch with his robo-arm, but ride his own Rocket Punch as a skate! This is beyond Smokin' Sick Style.

Sorry, I should clarify, even though he hasn't been confirmed dead before, they could just say that he was now. Hopefully we'll know more soon.

Next big info drop should be Gamescom? If anything doesn't leak, heh.

The hype is real. Style issues aside, it looks good. Gameplay resembles DMC4 more than DmC, music is super hot, and so is Nero. Dante looks like he crashed into the ugly tree though. He's not supposed to look like a grungy old man. Pls lose the scraggly facial hair.

I've always missed DMC games for one reason or another, this looks like a perfect reason to start playing it.
DMC3 is the game that should have pulled you in.

Also it's fucked up that there isn't a single playable female character after Trish and Lady.

You bet your ass they're gonna be DLC. >_>
I would like to play as the women, she seems fun. Maybe there is some mini-games. Also, it seems there is meant to be 3 protags, right?

Vergil's sword (and possibly spirit?) lives inside that arm. Big Daddy V/Punished Vergil is back from hell and he wants his toys back.

Yamato is stored in there.

The stand, to get his sword back.

It could be Yamato sealed within it. It could be that when Virgil came out of the Nelo Angelo form he was missing limbs, as we can see Virgil afix Nero's arm into his own right elbow.

There are many theories; all of which are exciting.
Right, yeah thanks, I remember. Vergil looks not so great in that scene, I guess he might need it to restore his energy or something.

Pretty insane that this thread has almost twice as many replies as the thread for Froms new Samurai Souls game.
