wut, Nero is awesome.

I don't really care about playing as him. Dude will always suck unless he manages to get some other Devil Arms.

But in cutscenes he's the worst character in the series. Just a complete dweeb, and they did NOT improve him here by making him more like Nu-Dante.

I hope multiple playable characters doesn't mean DMC4 style implementation because that was shit. They should do one campaign that's fully fleshed out and changes characters throughout or separate campaigns that aren't rehashes. Anything but the DMC4 way.

I'll never understand why people think Vergil is so awesome and Nero so lame.

Like, Dante is so far above both of them in terms of being a likeable character that they both just seem so basic in comparison. Yet, it seems like people like Vergil as much as Dante. To me, he's not nearly as cool, badass or funny Is it DMC3 nostalgia I just don't get?

Because Nero is a dweeby teenage shonen protagonist who just screams about Kyrie all the time and has literally nothing else to offer beyond that. His entire personality is based around a character with no personality.

Nothing about him is like New Dante at all, this is pretty much DMC4 Nero but with a different hairstyle (that isn't even an undercut like DmC Dante's, for what it's worth).
The difference between the two characters is night and day.

Hot take: ALL the DMC characters are great! Dante, Vergil, Lady, Trish, Nero; I like'em all. I'm even pretty taken with Nico so far, and I can't wait to find out who that black dude at the start of the trailer is.

My heart is filled with nothing but joy that this wonderful game exists.

Kyrie's a bit rubbish, if we're being honest, but I'm still excited to see what she'll be like if she's in this game.

I won't diagree there,

Now, on the flip side, what makes Vergil so much better and a fan favorite to the point where people are begging for him to come back when he's literally dead?

I actually agree with this. I like them all, I just think Dante is head and shoulders above Nero and Vergil and I don't understand why people hate the former and absolutely love the latter.

For a lot of people, memes.

But I like his fighting style. I don't like the rev mechanic Nero uses and can never actually get it working in real fights, so half of his functionality is locked off from me. Vergil's more speed-and-finesse-based style is my speed.

And I honestly just don't want another new character when we could have Vergil instead.

Fake out is it's Vergil's son/nephew/fan boy in his jacket.

I bet they'll put in Vergil cause they have to put I rather they lie to me MGS2 style

This is DMC alright


The 10 years gap and upgrade in graphics definitely gave us fans a knee jerk reaction, But with Itsuno's statement I have no worries about the game.
I hope for Dante's trailer they do bring some nostalgia back with devils never cry.

DMC IS BACK!!

Some of ya'll are fucking crazy. You all say that the game needs to be more "gothic," but holy fucking shit we've only seen one goddamn area. It'd be like thinking that DMC3 takes place in nothing but ruined stores and streets based on seeing footage for the first 2 stages up to Cerberus. Say it's not DMC enough when Nero literally rides his rocket powered bionic arm as a surfboard.

Especially the person who said that the Rev mechanic interrupted combat in 4. Fucking yikes.

But I'm hyped; Dante can be the main character in all of the games you want after this and you can wish for nothing more but DMC3-2 etc, but you are not taking away the inevitable Nero v. Vergil showdown from me.

looked alright. what happened to the person who said it was being announced at Sony? Does their trailer match up with their other info in that thread?

I was secretly hoping that the Nu Nero in the trailer was actually the Dante from the DmC universe who somehow got pulled into this one lol.

The PR information makes stuff more clear that the trailer didn't.

*Takes place several years after DMC4. Nero has his own variation of DMC shop and has lost his arm. Uses a mechanical arm with the help of Nico her mechanic.

*Nero has several arm types, probably hinting that he can use multiple arm "forms" in combat (maybe on the fly... god willing).

*Three playable characters, almost assuredly the three featured in that cover art.

*Full demonic invasion happening in Red Grave City. Interesting that this is the name of Dante's alias "Tony Redgrave" in one of the novels.

*There is a picture of Nero doing a Max Act Exceed move. Seems like they are hinting that all those features will be returning and then some.

I cant stop watching this trailer. Its now my most anticipated game. Itsuno saying its the best he has ever made puts the hype on a different tier. I know it's cheesy but I actually care alot about Devil May Cry's story and characters. Devil May Cry was the first game I ever considered dope and the franchise has a special place in my gaming heart.

This does look DmC-ish and I love that. Day one! I wasn't even hyped for this leak before the trailer.

I agree, you can see he was pouring his heart out on stage and he meant when he said this is the best game he's ever made so my hype levels are through the roof

Honestly my only complaint is that it looks so similar gameplay wise to the past games. I was ready for a bigger departure on par with God of War after how long this series has been around.

But it's way too early to say at this point. I'm hoping the stuff outside of combat is very different with a lot more exploration and hopefully some interesting light platforming.
Thats the best thing, with how little true action games have been DMC 5 comes to take back the genre to the top, its not supposed to be an adventure/rpg game.

There is gonna be tons of new mechanics to play

I guess this is how they'll introduce "styles" to Nero. I'm so hyped for this game.

This game better have as many just frame mechanics as the previous games. Red Queen is already good news, of course.

It's time for me to talk about the leak thread and address the elephant in the room

The trailer has been released and we've all seen it (for like a hundredth time), so by now it is pretty obvious that not everything in that leak thread turned out to be true.

Some of the stuff are actually pretty accurate (3 protags, conclusion to Sons of Sparda story line, V in the logo, Vergil vs Nero, etc), some are completely wrong (engine, conference that it would be shown, Sony deal, etc) and some are still unclear (could that black haired dude somehow actually be Vergil?)

So what happens to me now is up to Era mods really. If they think I deserve a ban then I accept that. If people wanna make fun of the stuff that I got wrong, I understand that too. They have every right to do so. But I do wanna make something clear.

It was never my intention to give false info or lie about anything in regards to Devil May Cry
. I love this series with all of my heart so I would never make up BS about it. I swear, not a single word in that leak thread is some lie that I just came up with. Everything I said there, was something that I had heard from people that I thought I could trust to have good and legit info. (who had given me info about other things that have come true, but ofc I should've been more careful with them in regards to DMC and this is something that I will keep in mind going forward)

So if any of the wrong info in the leak thread made you sad or affected you in a bad way, I sincerely apologize cause that was never my intention.

But like I said, my fate and the judgment of the info on leak thread are in the hands of Era mods now. So respectfully, from this now on, I'll ignore the leak thread related posts and just be excited about the game that I've been waiting for an entire decade!

Cheers.
Neonep asked me to mention you for this.

I love you man! DON'T BAN THIS GUY!

I also belive that Son of Sparda should not be banned, heck that thread actually made me replay the DMC titles and get hyped again.

So, any links on the theme song? I saw that the guy worked on KI too! That's why it was kind of similar to something I heard

Hm...the aesthetics surely changed quite a lot

And what the hell happened to Kyrie? :think:

But it's DMC5! We'll worry about the other stuff later!

THAT was confusing. Nero really does resemble what a current gen DmC Dante might look like, hehe

Dante in a bike is a big hint about 5 be after 2 but Capcom prefer ignore it lol
They already confirmed that it's a Devil May Cry 4 sequel in their official blogs, not to mention that they joked some decade ago that "DMC2 was set in the very far future so it'll never have any sequel" aka they don't think it exists within the continuity.
