Devil May Cry 5 Preview thread - HYPE IS REAL BOYS

A mysterious hooded figure that we have no way of knowing who it is ripped off his arm one day.
You hit the L2 trigger at the end of the sword swing.
At the start of the game, a robed figure who in no way is Vergil (no sirree) shows up at Nero's place and cuts off his arm in one fluid motion before Nero realizes what's going on.
The hooded man then opens a portal and leaves with his arm. That's what triggers Nero's journey to track down his arm and find out what the hell just happened.
His friend Nico builds him a robotic arm so he can still fight demons in the meantime.
I'm certain he is gonna get his real arm back ala fullmetal alchemist . Eager to see how it happens though .
I saw Itsuno-san at a grocery store in Kabukicho yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, "Oh, like you're doing now?"
I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Nani?" but he kept cutting me off and going "Nani? Nani? Nani?" and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like "Sir, you need to pay for those first with Red Orbs." At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually "to prevent any Devil Trigger Pulling," and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that's a term. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by singing Subhuman really loudly.

The robot arms are on of my favorite parts of Neros new look. In fact before DMCV reveal I was like "for Vergil to get Yamato back he probably is going to have to rip Neros arm off or wait for him to take it out". And low and behold it happened...
Go to the standard edition of the game on PSN and then scroll down.
This series has not missed a step. The demo is so much...Devil May Cry.
Anyone know if the game has 3 separate campaigns or if it's all one campaign that switches out characters like DMC4 did?
Also have they said what the length of the game will be?

It's a single campaign, each chapter with either a set character or letting you choose, depending on the story.
Around 15 hours, they said.
LMAO, literacy. Can you even imagine? OMFG classic!
Literally drying my tears with a book right now. XD ;D
This makes me unreasonable happy.
We love a blood-spattered demon boy.

Lol, Dante and the bird - best friends forever! (at 08:08)
I have a hard time understanding Griffin without subs, but he's already my fav character!

Easiest way to trigger Dante is to have a bigger mouth than him. The real reason he keeps trying to tell Nero to get lost.
It begins....
They mean "A powerful demon RE-EMERGES", but they don't want to give the game away just yet. We're on to you, Capcom.
We have seen 3 fights against that boss Urizen already in the previews.
One where he is sitting down fighting against armless Nero in the Prologue.
One where he is sitting down fighting against Dante with Rebellion (before he shatters it).
One where he finally stands up and towers over Nero to fight him.
In all of these fights, the player is doing no damage to him. They all seem like fights that are impossible to win at and meant to be losses. The power level of this boss is just through the roof. There has never been a boss like this in a DMC game before.

Because it got ripped off (literally) by some dude who's very highly implied to be Vergil, to get the Yamato back.
Adam. This is Devil May Cry, not godhand. You stop wishing for overlap between your masterpieces right now.
Devil May Cry is a top tier fighting game level beat em up, you learn your character and go ape. Capcom at its finest.
GodHand is you, a million moves, and tight dodges. Still nice, very customizable. Still that "no reason to ever get hit" style of gameplay.
Jepp, Jester all over. God, I love his cutscenes!
Wait - really 3 different ingame fights? This is strange regarding the timeline.
First thing in the game is the prologue fight - Dante goes in first and is thrown on his back. Urizen shoots some kind of root at him, but Nero shoots it away, taking the fight over. (This fight you play.)
Then Dante jumps back on his feet, quite exhausted, shooting his guns at Urizen, saying "Round two." He goes into DT, tells Nero to get lost, cause he's dead weight. V also insists on fleeing, cause Urizen is more powerful than excpected. Meanwhile Dante is thrown back, with Rebellion breaking, leading to him trapped in the tree unconscious .
You shouldn't be able to play Dante between these cutscenes. Is there a flashback mission later, where you fight him?
In the end there will be a second final fight of course.
I really hope Urizen turns out to be a great boss unlike Mundus from Dmc1 . Looks massive and ultra powerful just like Mundus but we all know how he turned out . No cheese , no into space adventures , no QTEs . A grounded , man to man , epic fight .
Timeline is non linear in the game. Here's how the fights are panning out:
*You start the game as Nero in the prologue, learning his basic commands. At the end of it, you fight Urizen on his throne while Dante was there fighting Urizen before you. This is before even Mission 1 BTW. The entire crew gets wrecked but Nero and V manage to retreat.
*You work your way up to Urizen again in Mission 9 with V, this time you manage to make him stand up from his throne.
*On Mission 10 you switch over to Dante only this time you are controlling him BEFORE the Nero prologue part (as in the part where Dante first gets the job from V). So now you control Dante as he works his way up to Urizen for the first time and there Urizen is sitting in his throne. You get wrecked and on Mission 11 you are saved by V and you have to work your way back to Urizen as Dante.
At some point 'Urizen' is going to shed all those tree roots and reveal the true, motivated form underneath...
I don't know if I'm ready for the "Urizen 3 DMD SSS No Damage" runs we're going to start seeing on Youtube like a week after the game comes out. I still can't believe the eleven year wait is almost up.
Oh, ok. Thanks.
I expected it a little different. You see the story through all of their perspectives, but that those time jumps would be closer to one another. (E.g. after you beat Goliath with Nero, you jump to V, fighting your way to the place with Goliath, to meet up with Nero.)
I didn't know they go that much back in time. I thought you would just play with Dante after he woke up onwards, but not that they jump with him back to the beginning again as well.
Fighting him three times is tradition, hm? (*sob*)
Well, at least it sounds like a good qol improvement. I understand it's like that in Godhand because there are more moves than inputs, no? Maybe we'll see it in DMC6.
Has someone seen more of the cutscene where V recruits Dante in his office? The crucial part is always missing.
Dante moves from his desk to the sofa, V says the demon would be special, making Dante ask: "Special? So what's so special about this one?" and goddamn I want to know V's answer, but there is no sound nor subs everywhere I've seen for this part.

Devil May Cry doesn't do QTEs son. What is this some action game for kids?
Watching his moveset...ehhh it dosen't scream
Vergil at all. Even when he was Neo Angelo he was a highly skilled/graceful Swordsmen. Urizen uses absolutely no technique.
