I doubt it's the same demo. I was in Japan in March this year and played the demo at a store demo station. It was the TGS 06 demo with Nero in the citadel, not Dante. The current demo that has a timed Dante citadel demo + Nero vs ice and fire bosses is definitely newer than Jan 07.
There is a timed Dante citadel demo? WTF where? I didn't know Dante was made playable to the general public. That is news to me.duckroll said:
In that case it would be that demo. Whatever demo we get it's going to one that is the latest one and I think it's that one.
You know that style ranking bar on the right? Performing a taunt raises the style bar one whole grade. Your style ranking is transformed into Stylish points at the end of the level and depending on how well you performed you get that many orbs for it (orbs that can be used as currency to level up your character). Taunt also increases your Devil Trigger but Nero doesn't have DT yet so it only affects his Style ranking.raheel87 said:

For stylish combos! why else would he taunt?
The more awesome your combos are, the more red orbs you get, putting a taunt in the middle of a combo makes them awesomer.

I'm playing dmc3 now and i hope this game isn't as retarded difficult as the previous version.

It'll probably be around the same as DMC3SE which really wasn't too hard. That'll be offset by the fact that you can't go back and grind for orbs on your first playthrough (I admit, when I first played DMC3 I could only get past Cerberus at first by fully upgrading all the weapons that were available at the time, getting to L2 Trickster, and buying a few blue orbs. I'm much better at the game now, and the SE is much easier for an initial playthrough anyway).macksplack said:

As long as they address DMC3's save system in DMC4...Which I know they did in the Japanese version of DMC3, then I'll likely end up being very pleased by the game. Can't wait for the demo.
It definitely isn't. In fact for DMC3 there was a SE released that was tons easier. You should've gotten that one with playable Vergil as well. DMC4 comes with balanced difficulty this time, you have my word on it.macksplack said:
And yes checkpoint/save system will be using SE system. No more restarting entire levels, every room is it's own checkpoint. Think RE4 style.
Just a little advice for you and all the other DMC virgins/Xbox only gamers.op_ivy said:
Upon release date, visit GAF often especially my thread which will read "Official Devil May Cry 4 Thread of Action Godliness". In it I will outline the basics of survival for the DMC virgins and how to properly play the game. Please read it and apply it thoroughly and then watch the combo videos that I will have linked.

Try dodging, and playing more defensively in general.
After playing Contra 4, I almost want to bitch-slap anyone who thinks DMC3 is actually hard.
And for the fuckin last time, there was no 'save issue' in DMC3. If you're too fuckin stupid to figure out what yellow orbs do (not reading the manual for the lose) that's your problem, not the games. (the game also as an in-screen description below yello orbs that reads: "ability to recall lost souls." What the fuck do you think that means?
Sorry to bump this thread up but someone has an analysis of Nero's combat in the demo (PS3 version). It's in Japanese but we have some fragments in terms of translations:
Link here <-- Someone with some knowledge of DMC conventions and Japanese translation please tackle this.
Most notable thing from this is that Red Queen in fact has 3 ground combos, which was a feature that was previously exclusive to A&R and Alastor only before.
Some more tidbits of note are the timing based "quick executions" on Exceed which is something that I noticed before. The player states that the frame of execution for Exceed is 4-5 frames which seems VERY strict to me for an action game but it might not apply like a fighting game if it's using the same frame system. Again the player is most likely estimating the frames here.
Another is "Sprint jumping" which is basically a long jump following by a sprint. It's definitely new to DMC4 as we didn't have a sprint function in DMC.

DMC 2 the taint of the series. Just imagine it never existed.

Which is sad because DMC2 is the only one i'd ever picked up and decided to beat
. I'll be picking up the third and first before DMC4 is out though. Can't wait for a possible demo.I got the 5th anniversary pack from Gamestop and have been playing through them.Danielsan said:
The gameplay in 1 was awesome, a button mashing combo fest that left my hands aching with future carpal tunnel...but the story and voice acting? uh...*snicker*?
That being said I loved it.
I'm only about an hour or so into the second. I do wonder why they flipped the damn control scheme though...
I finished DMC1 and am working on DMC2, and I'm glad they switched the jump button around. The melee button is in an odd spot, but there is no way that jump should be the top button in any game. Either way, customizable controls should be the norm.
I don't think it's that bad either. I mean is it just because it's easier? Or because the new chick sidekick has a terrible voice? :lol

It's because it's easier, uglier, no fun and had nothing to with Devil May Cry other than Dante. Who doesn't even bring much Dante personality to the table to begin with . The thing I hated the most is that the melee weapons are fucking useless in the games. You can pretty much kill every boss/enemy by standing around unloading ebony and ivory.lupin23rd said:

What's the release date for the DS3? Will it be out in time for the game? I don't see it listed for release on the major game sales sites yet.

I'm pretty sure you can. I remember something about the time DMC4 takes place that makes DMC2 totally irrelevant.roxya said:
And, no, DMC3 has nothing to do with DMC2.
