What's wrong with mine :( ?
Switching weapons with the directional pad is trash, R2 & L2 are the way to go.
Regardless of your opinion on it, the control scheme in DmC made most moves much easier to pull out, making mixing up moves and being creative with combos easier as well. I'm sure that using shoulder buttons as modifiers (of weapons or types of moves) can well lead to a robust moveset that's as easy to use as it's deep to master.
I used to do this setup for DMC3
R1 attack R2 shoot
L1 lock on L2 DT
X jump Circle special
Square cycle melee Triangle cycle ranged
The main reason i did this was because it let me charge ranged attacks and DT for DT burst while attacking. Also this way I was able to get in a good rhythm for jump canceling since i was able to alternate R1 and X with my index finger and thumb.
It's definitely not a setup every one can get used to though

Uhh, agree to disagree I guess. I love these games for those exact reasons - they revel in the fact that they are video games and not a Hollywood blockbuster. God of War, especially the upcoming one, is a total turnoff for me.
God I really don't want to do that man- I can barely keep track of 3 @_@
D-pad is the industry standard for a reason.
As long as it's a quick toggle and not the awkward hold nonsense DmC had.
Ironically GOW3(IP) was the success Capcom was chasing with the westernisation. Game was 90+ rated with over 5 million sales.
I think the best way is to give essentially unlimited controller setup. You can map anything to anywhere you want.
Yeah we can't deny it was a tech and sales success, its good at what it tries to do, but if everyone expects the same sales on this genre..
The first three GOW games are all 90+ on Metacritic and are huge selllers as well. PSP GOW had one title go above 90 on Metacritic, with the second one achieving only 86. GOW games are extremely good and manage to achieve a near-perfect balance of action, puzzles and story, some of the absolute best single-player experiences from the last 15 years. The only title that felt out of place was Ascension, as the series was in need for some overhauling by that point, but everything before that is incredibly compelling. I sorta get why some people who dig DMC throw shade at GOW, but it's a minority opinion really, as GOW games have been extremely well received by both players and critics.
That's kind of a handwave-y statement considering the quality of the games, but yes, GOW was certainly at the top of the heap when it came to single-player action games.
I also agree that the controls should be highly customizable, so maybe for those who don't like holding buttons can use said buttons as a toggle.
That too. Same for style switching, imo. Have a default system for newcomers and casuals, and let the hardcores choose whichever they prefer. It would also be simple to implement. The DMC3 style switcher mod already allows something like that. You can use Dah's suggested toggle system for example.
At least lock-on toggle should be an option like in DmC DE. I'd use that as well.

I like you.
Speaking of which...it'd be the dream if P* was willing to loan out Masami Ueda back to Itsuno just so that he can compose a few tracks for a DMC title, again. His sound is another of those things that made DMC for me, and it just hasn't been the same without him.

Any chance we get more details on this update? Why is it "likely" Vergil rather than a straight confirmation?
I forgot the composer of Bayonetta also did DMC 1 and Okami, but thats an unlikely expectation he would return, as far as i know most fans prefer the soundtrack of DMC 3 over the other games
For some reason, I feel like this was known already :D
Dante obviously.
I mean, some tracks from 3 I like, basically all the Vergil boss themes, Cerberus, and Devils Never Cry, but I'll freely admit I'm not the biggest fan overall of the lyrics in so many of the songs and battle themes and prefer the more dark electronic tones of DMC1. But a better blend of the two I wouldn't mind.
Probably because things like that can definitely change during development. Like what if you don't play him on launch then we grill sos alive and then later they add Vergil as dlc.
Hopefully the Schick Hydrobot.
Dante, Nero, Vergil are the three.
Goosebumps, they don't make them like these anymore.
I used to check out masami's website in high-school, iirc it was http://weapon.org
Then one day he answered back in ICQ, then he was like "Hey, take this".
Gave me an unreleased DMC piece that I ... lost.
Never heard that piece anywhere else, had no vocals.
Was like a variation of "Seeds of Love".
Yes, here's the website: https://web.archive.org/web/20051109113949/http://weapon.org:80/profile/index.html
I do understand this, but why is it that Vergil is "likely" to be playable? I guess I want to know what makes him "likely" as in, what element of the game leaked that would support the notion that they are probably working on Vergil to be playable rather than any other character.

I got many sources telling me that he is in, bar just a couple of people and even they are like "we haven't heard about that but could be true".
As for more details, yeah I've heard about his playstyle. Not sharing that cause I haven't been able to get in touch with more sources about the specifics. And even then, it's sort of a "take with a truck load of salt" stuff so it's better to not share those at all.
People want Dante, and Itsuno and team love Vergil and Nero too much to let them go. Gotta wait for the DLC.
