Devil May Cry 5 Reveal Trailer (PS4/XB1/PC - Spring 2019)
- Thread starter Sargerus
- Start date
FINALLY, there hasn't been a single threat in this series canon since Dante killed the biggest threat in the first game.
Here's a question.
Do you guys think that Vergil is not aware that Nero is his son when he pulled out his arm. Not necessarily didn't know from the start, but lost his memories because of the corruption.
Vergil didn't seem to recognize Dante in his Nelo Angelo form (Dark Angel), while Dante knew that it was Vergil who fought him.
I guess we know that Nero doesn't know that Vergil is his father and Dante is his uncle just yet, from the trailer, or he already knew that and I am missing something from the DMC 4 novel or the game itself.
I mean it kinda makes sense that Dante reveals to Vergil that Nero is his son when he comes back.

I am def in the camp that thinks Nero is Vergil's son, but is there any confirmed ages? I seem to see people say Dante and Vergil are 19 in DMC3 and Nero is 10 years younger than Dante in DMC4, making him 19 which means he was born when Vergil was 9? Yeesh.

I'm pretty sure Nero is not even 20 in DMC4 while Dante is like 40. I think Vergil did the deed at around 16, but I guess that would make it before DMC3 so idk.
I wonder if they'd do a scene where the Hell Pride would run away back to hell when you play Dante's part.
A little better, but still not great. Sorry for confusion if I worded that weird, got a cold right now so my brain is even worse than it usually is lmao.
Nero is said to be 19 in DMC4 I think, which would make Dante 29? I could believe he's older though. Wish we had an official age lol.
I'm almost positive that Dante is older than 29 in 4. I think DMC4 takes place 10 years after DMC1, not DMC3. But yeah the only way to explain Nero is teenage pregnancy.
Ah yeah, I was looking at the info wrong. Seems Dante is closer to 40 in DMC4. I guess that doesn't confirm Nero's mom as being younger than 18 but yikes Vergil lmao.
Vergil looks old enough on the DMC 4 SE cutscene and thats when it happened
I just assume Vergil wanted one last hurrah before summoning Temen Ni Gru and fucking up human world.
We got a cutscene in DMC4SE where Vergil walks past a woman and the woman looks back at him interested? We all assumed hinting that hard could only mean that's Nero's mother when we already got that much from the artbook.
Arkham was pretty freaky villain.
New one had to be moar power but i hope thats not everything and he is no Mundus 2.0
I like the red tree
Freaky doesn't mean he was a threat though.
Vergil straight up tells him he couldn't handle the POWER
I'm holding out hope that since Itsuno is a Berserk fan he would create the "Demon Hand" or something
Probably why Vergil needed the Devil Bringer (030)~
Glad Hell finally getting their shit together, I don't know how Belial took over after Mundus. Shit Lucifer got off screened by Dante before DMC4.
Yeah but he was manipulative, evil and cunning, Arkham defeated the brothers without even fighting and he would have won if not for the twins working together.
Also Lady kills him later.
I been waiting for one that puts Dante and Vergil on their places, but of course that could be reserved for dmc 6
Well considering Nero was fighting the Sins from DMC3 its possible we might see more enemies from older games. I'd like the shadows to make a return myself.
Lol dude it took me and three other friends 15 minutes to convince the fifth person that Vergil wasn't fucking possessing Nero through the Devil Bringer.
I get there were hints, but in his defense, Capcom kinda dropped the ball on this plot point in 4.
Hope we get some flashback sequences. Imagine playing as dante and fighting vergil as the game flashes between the moonlit fight in 3 , nelo angelo in the courtyard in 1 and present day. Imagine if the movesets of the bosses and you changed to represent the different games. So much potential.
Would make sense since he seems mostly normal aside from his arm.
Getting MGS4 final boss vibes from this idea. I like it.
Prequel though. We already knew that Dante wouldn't die and would end up growing up and fighting Mundus.
Yeah we assumed that due to him appearing mostly human but think about it- Dante and Vergil appears completely human all the time.
What if all that is human in him comes from his dad, and the demon arm comes from a demon mother?
DMC3 is chronologically before all the other games, though. Dante and Vergil are young and inexperienced then, but by the time DMC4 rolls around, Dante is 100% fucking around, and nothing is a threat to him. Heck, it's telling that the final boss of Bloody Palace is him!
Yeah, I think it doesn't help that Nero's DT brings out a huge spirit that follows him around while using Yamato. It's not hard to see that it's Vergil in spirit form.
Just a thought out of the blue but what if the hooded figure that is stealing Neros arm isn't Vergil, but Sparda?
I think The Despair Embodied was a threat.
It would go against all we know about Sparda being a compassionate demon if he's just casually ripping off arms. It really is best to just apply Occams razor here. It's Vergil.
It would make sense for the demon part to be from Vergil and the limited effect on Nero (just his arm) could be due to Vergil himself being a half breed.
So basically Nero was a result of a human and a half human, making him about a quarter demon (instead of half like Vergil/Dante).
You laugh now, but there were serious long discussions about this. And every time someone brought it up I was like
Are you talking about this or new stuff?
nah, it was completely different. on the couch @ mixer set
edit: they finally put it online here: https://mixer.com/Xbox?vod=38224649 around 3h53m

Kind of OT, but with the Resident Evil 2 Remake trailer shown during the Sony conf being clearly from an older build than the second trailer we got right after.
I wonder if the bit from the DMC5 rumor thread that said: "DMC5 was supposed to be shown at PSX, but they moved it to E3" was true, but was about RE2 and not DMC5.

Someone on reddit mentioned that Dante says that Nero has the potential to be stronger than him in the book.
Could be another sayian situation where human blood is actually super powerful. Anyone who read it could verify?

Hehe well it was still well made.
The idea of Dante dying is a bit funny after the Resident Evil superheroes, thats supposed to be an horror series yet Leon and Chris will never die! They will still be fighting monsters in their 60s with Ada having the ocassional flirt with Leon, some characters will live forever :P
new tentacle villain/vergil can kill off Trish, Lady or
Except that Gohan still aint shit and Goku/Vegeta pire blooded Super Saiyans doing all the work.
I dont think Nero is actually ever going to be stronger than Dante. Maybe Nero can defeat Vergil because of writing and plot reasons but I like Dante over Nero in a death battle free.
And I can confirm that theories about Vergil being in Neros arm were rampant back in the day. Same as in MGS2 with Liquid in Ocelots hand LOL!
There were other wild theories about Nero back in the day as well. 3rd bastard son of Sparda. Clone made from Sparda DNA. Dantes own son. Vergil in a regressed state post DMC1. Some random kid that was injected with Sparda DNA.
And you know how many people had him as Vergils son? Absolutely zero. No one could actually use the occams razor principle with Nero back in the day, mostly because it was blasphemy to think that Vergil would set aside his ego to have sex with a human LOL!

Wow talks about the connection to the DMC anime, the Demon Tree.
- The bad guy at the beginning of the trailer is definitely an enemy and is 26 feet tall
- The Novelization of DMC4 is where Dante gives the Devil May Cry neon sign for Nero to take up the demon hunting business
- All of the footage is in realtime
- The van is the actual office of Devil May Cry
- There's a reception room inside the van
- Nico is the partner in crime of Nero
- Itsuno tried to bring as much developers from DMC3 and 4
- Yuji Shimomura is returning as the cutscene director/stunt coordinator (he did DMC3 and 4)
- Says something to the effect that everytime Nero breaks he can insert another one with his receptacle, I don't know if it translates to anything in gameplay when it comes to breaking
- I think they're calling the arms the devil breakers ?
- They actually made Nero's jacket first IRL in Europe, then scanned it to get high quality asset, probably another result of photogrammetry that is at the center of the RE Engine
