Is this going to be one of those things that people will deny even when the game comes out until they see a confirmation from Capcom that it's TOTALLY VERGIL?
There's photographic evidence in this thread.
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?
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).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 won't diagree there,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.
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.Hot take: ALL the DMC characters are great! Dante, Vergil, Lady, Trish, Nero. 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.

But, hegrows out of that and now has been killing demons on a new business (i remember sometime after DMC 4) not every character is perfectHe's not really heroic at all though - just obsessed with Kyrie. Dante actually cares about the world, Nero just cares about killing anybody who touches his girlfriend.
I like him in this rendering and during his "emoting" he is actually a perfect "age-up" from his first showing imo
Nero looks so much better in this render without all that emoting he is doing in the trailer.
God damn DMC5 looks INSANELY GOOD! And looking at this... how can you DENY that Vergil resemblance?
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 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 roofI 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 a lot. Devil May Cry was the first game I ever considered dope and the franchise has a special place in my gaming heart.
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.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.
I guess this is how they'll introduce "styles" to Nero. I'm so hyped for this game.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.
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.
That'd be amazing but I'm not gonna disappoint myself. Gamescom it is.
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!
This <3Hot 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.

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.
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.Dante in a bike is a big hint about 5 be after 2 but Capcom prefer ignore it lol
Ok, you know what? Forget everything I said, I think I like this game now.
Sorry.
PULL MY DEVIL TRIGGER
