[LEAK] Massive Devil May Cry 5 Info (Potential heavy spoilers inside!)
- Thread starter Son of Sparda
- Start date
- Status
What you suggested is pretty much the plot of DMC1-4, Vergil dies in 1, soul gets trapped in Devil Bringer in 4.
Why would on earth would they bring back Vergil only to kill him again and turn him into a Devil Arm? It makes no sense from a writing standpoint and they'd get a lot of backlash for doing it, and it's even dumber if it's true that they're calling this one the numeral V as it stands for Vergil (and if that's true, he'll most likely be the title's silhouette), there's no way he's dying mid-story, if I were to guess, they're gonna save his final "proper" death for another DMC game, as it seems that Capcom is planning to keep on making DMC games.
Wesker is probably the only exception I can think about, and even then you could argue that his past incarnations fit the bill since he does die in RE1, lives in CVX, dies in Lost in Nightmares, lives in RE5 and dies at the end (for good).
Speaking of Devil Arms, I hope that we're getting Pandora back, it feels like they designed the devil arm with the intent of keeping it in every future game.
I'll accept him becoming a weapon if it's for Nero, affects the way the stand looks and Nero adopts his haircut.
If all of these things happen, I'm ok with it.

You could do it the other way around.
Vergil starts sealed inside Yamato and as Nero gains more power he weakens the seal and he starts hearing Vergil until he is in a bad spot against a boss, tries to use his Nelo Angelo stand DT and Vergil appears
Meanwhile Dante at a different location feels it, smiles and tells whoever he is facing that he needs to wrap things up here and a buy a welcome gift for someone

Wasn't this thread already discussing Dante and Vergil's funky demonic organs?
Technically, he may have never died.
He was only ever said to be 'defeated' and his supposed final moments occur off-screen. His final 'death blast' has remarkable similarities to his previous non-lethal DBZ explosions. Also, considering this series' subject matter, bringing him back wouldn't be difficult even if his death was confirmed.
Don't they use his corpse to make the angel enemies in DMC4?
Dark Angel=Nero Angelo or well the misspelled Nelo
How Sanctus' cronies were even able to get access to any fragments of Angelo at all is an interesting thing, considering Mallet Island was destroyed entirely after Mundus' defeat.
Either there's more to it regarding Angelo's activities or the Order still got plenty of explaining to do...
Well, no shit, considering DMC evolved from being a RE game with overpowered OCs~!
It's actually mentioned in DMC4 lore that Sanctus used fragments of "The Dark Angel" to create the angel forms and the demon knights that the Order uses. It's pretty clear the implication was that they found Vergil's body in addition to the Yamato.
Virgil is an important character and the potential for a meeting with Nero, along with the interactions that brings is too good to pass up. Virgil has never been officially "dead" so it's not as if he was put in 4SE the at the expense of canonical sense for the sake of fan service.
Not to mention the obvious points such as his gameplay style being addictive and to some preferable. 4SE expanded his movelist mostly for the better, and I'm excited to see where the story takes him in the future.
DMC has been a glorified fan fiction since DMC3. DMC4 took it to new and unbearable heights. Lets not pretend like some quality of narrative, characters or lore is being undermined here by bringing Vergil back.
I'd rather have Nero gone for good. Hate that brat. Vergil is boss. One of the chicks could be gone as well.
Pretty much this. I recall in some old interview they say something similar, that it was never outright stated he dead. And even if he were? Man's been popular since he dropped (I still remember begging hard when vanilla DMC3 came out for a Vergil edition!) - still one of my fave characters in all of gaming.
it was leaked mere hours before the conference. Few people actually read it
http://.siliconera.com/2015/06/15/final-fantasy-vii-remake-is-coming-to-playstation-4/
What I really want to know about DMC5 is, are the weapons and abilities and such all going to be totally revamped again, or will they essentially port the loadouts from DMC4SE and add to them? I feel like Dante would be fine as is, with the other 4 characters needing 1 or two additional weapons. As cool as new loadouts would be, I do wonder if the effort would be better spent on additional levels and enemies as well as game optimisation.
I remember asking for this gif to be made back at the old site.
Gets me hype evrytim
I would like to wish Son of Sparda best of luck dodging the perma.
Hope if they go for PS4/PC that the PC version isn't delayed forever like monster hunter was.
Regardless of what happens this thread has been fun to read over last little while :D

Let's review:
1) Obviously, this was all started by this leak.
But we also have:
2) Devil May Cry 5 domain Registered much like previous games have been (https://www.resetera.com/threads/de...ed-resident-evil-2-domain-updated-more.46625/)
3) Devil May Cry is listed by Base.com retailer (https://www.resetera.com/threads/devil-may-cry-5-listed-at-base-com-ps4-only.47536/) and half a dozen others who of varying levels of being legit.
4) Itsuno is working on a new game. This is not in question as it was confirmed several times by Itsuno himself.
5) Capcom listed a two major sellers this fiscal year, however there are only a certain number of titles that could be those major titles this context, one of the few being a Devil May Cry title.
6) This slip up by Johnny Yong Bosch in 2016: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9sJBNCd24A&t=8m32s
Fan: "Will we ever see Nero again?"
JYB: "There's a good chance... but I don't know what I can actually say at this point. All I can say is I haven't started working on it yet. That's all I can... actually, I'm not even sure if I can say that"
7) This is probably completely circumstantial, but hype nonetheless: New Vergil figure at Capcom Booth at E3 (https://www.resetera.com/threads/ne...tible-on-display-at-capcom-booth-at-e3.47621/)
It's up to you whether you want to believe, but baby, I believe.
Edit:
8) The original Dan Southworth slip up in 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrSAydJm4SY&t=19m20s
(Thanks TheEnd)

This is not correct.
They announced "two major titles" for this fiscal year. No figures given.
It goes even far before this leak and that JYB clip.Let's review:

5) Capcom listed a 2 million seller and a 4 million seller for this fiscal year. REmake 2 is probably the 4 million, however there are only a certain number of titles that could be the 2 million in this context, one of the few being a Devil May Cry title.

I'm keeping calm till E3. I promised myself I wouldn't get caught up in the hype this year after so many years of disappointment.
We'll see.
We'll see.
If this isn't real I will continue my policy of believing zero leaks until I see them myself confirmed.
I'm pretty sure it's real like remake 2,now.
If that story from the leak ends up being true for the scenario it will be the best since 1 or 3, 3se is my favorite tbh.
If this has an enhanced dmc4se combat engine, and dante/Nero/Virgil
I'll be so excited. That final boss fight vs sparda and the sons of sparda and the grandson/nephew of Dante and Dad Virgil is exactly what I've wanted for like ever.

I asked him as well last November when I saw him. His reaction told the whole story. I knew it was def coming.
DMCV leaked back in 2015 lol. Son of Sparda wasn't risking his neck as much as we thought.
I would've taken it for a joke had Reuben not replied that with "no, we're not allowed to say that.." him and JYB looked a bit terrified of what Dan said while they laughed. Heh.
