Did he make a video?
He hasn't made any videos, he'll probably make a few once he gets back.
They mentioned that weapons power up as you perform better. Don't know if that's tied to the style ranking or not but that is certainly very interesting. I always felt there should be more direct rewards to getting high style ranks in DMC other than style points, DT meter and more red orbs.
SSS = Sensational
Seems like NT is more optimistic about the prospect of releasing the demo.

Looks great, as it always has. Boss battle looked more memorable than anything in DMC4.
They keep talking about how they don't wanna spoil the story and E3 is all about gameplay, then WHY THE HELL NOT RELEASING HIGH LEVEL GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE??
Even though those two walkthroughs were highly informative and enjoyable, and the highest level E3 gameplay as well, he didn't even use jump cancelling once. In other words (I love yoooou) the best gameplay we have doesn't show a feature they talked about how important it is to be in the game on every single video.
You can see in other videos as well (not sure if the GameSpot demo or the Tameem interview demo) the Osiris getting more hitsparks as well, it's pretty interesting.
Aside from combat, seems like Ninja Theory will bring a lot of great things to the franchise. If it's at least enjoyable, they can make it remarkable on their sequel, who knows

Framerate was ok. It was unlocked and even had the feel of 60fps at times. Like when looking straight up. Didn't drop too much but I'm not a fan of 30fps. L2 and R2 were indeed move modifiers. That's how you get the axe attack you need to shield smash. I didn't see a move list so maybe I missed the fancy stuff.

The video linked in the OP goes through a run down of what I imagine to be what's possible in the demo. It seems in-line or even moreso than what previous DMC's offered at such stage in regards to specials.
edit:
They put up another walkthrough this time with the associate producer:

An interview with Motohide Eshiro and Alex Jones for DmC
He talk about the combat, story, etc - but also brings up the possibility of seeing sequels for this game, the original series, and maybe even both.

That would be something. :lol
Could see that happening though, if DmC gets decent sales.
I feel that it's probably a different enough take on it, that they could coexists.
What do you mean when you say looking straight up? Anything else?

I dunno about that. The Berial Fight on DMD mode was fantastic.

They still have a good amount of development time left, I think the end product is going to be a great action game. It would be nice to have the normal line of DMC continue along side this "reboot" but this is Capcom we are talking about, if this is a runaway success they will just continue to churn them out. It's not all doom and gloom though, perhaps the next generation of hardware will be able to run this engine at 60fps and the team may even learn a thing or two in the process.
I'm a glass half full kind of person.

You know what's not fun? Going through the same shit ass levels and fighting the same goddamn bosses twice.
"Poison" looked more interesting than any of the garbage that populates DMC4, Credo excepted.
Good thing they haven't discounted the possibility of OG DMC sequels.
From all their interviews it really seems like this game is a litmus test. If it bombs, they might not make a DmC. If it does alright, they might let NT make DmC2 while also making DMC sequels. If it does gangbusters, they might shift all their focus on DmC2 and give it a bigger budget, more man power.
The amount of hyperbolic DMC4 trashing that happens in a DmC thread is hilarious sometimes. Berial was an amazing boss fight so was the Dante boss fight. The Echidna and frog boss battles were OK, about the caliber of this boss fight in terms of what the boss is able to do. Credo boss fight is easily top 5 boss fights in all action games. Poison only has like 4-5 moves showcased thus far which puts it at less moves than an average DMC4 boss and I have seen all the footage released thus far. Poison just has more presentation to it.

aside from complaints about DMC4's pretty crappy overall layout, which I agree is trash, the bosses that are in there are a lot fun and this does not look like it lives up to them.
Yeah Berial was clearly more impressive.
It looked better than some of the DMC 3/4 bosses though. Like that giant centipede boss in DMC3 or the saviour endboss in 4.
It's unreal engine. I'd be really surprised if the PC version didn't run perfectly fine.

I don't mind the style. I see him as a member/fan of NiN back in the day. People have this weird complex where they judge everything if it's against what's expected, even if it can hold its own.
Alice: Madness Returns features an equally grungy, wise-cracking hero with a penchant for goth, noir, and doom and gloom and no one cried over that.
Oh right, because he's supposed to have parted, white hair, a red jacket and developed by Japanese developers. Only then should we be ok with the dialogue and style choice...
yep. unlocked framerate mostly cause that weird stutter and makes the game less fluid.

Yeah, I dunno if already posted, but there is also a walkthrough video with Tameem Antoniades explaining many things.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edFg9-mUDEw&t
If you are interested about the hard lock, in this part of the video the developer explains why there is no hard lock on:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edFg9-mUDEw&t=6m40s
And, very interestingly, at 15.40 the developer hints about the presence of Virgil in the game...he says something like "well, about Virgil, we can't say anything about this", and then "there will be characters from the series that will be on the game".
"God's Beard!"

Yea it looks like a continuation of what they've been showing since they revealed it. Ive always thought it looked interesting. Then again, I've never played DMC series before.
Tameem said something that I liked and hopefully they stick to it. He said that the game is balanced around the hardest difficulty and then they make the easier difficulties. This is pretty much the case with all main DMC games, they are all balanced around DMD mode where the real game actually begins. Every mode before is just training to get you up to DMD skill and power level.
I also like how the weapons start to power up mid combat like the Osiris if it starts hitting multiple targets and you have more style rank it starts to get stronger.

The Osiris looks wonderful when it's charged. I hope the feature where the game gets faster when you reach S Rank gets into the final game, even if they do add Turbo Mode.
It's a really nice mechanic, and the problem I had before with the ranks going up too fast would not be that much of a problem anymore, if you have to get to S to have the fight running at full speed, it would suck to kill every enemy before reaching DAT S

I can see this working out well for Capcom. The game is shaping up nicely, fans slowly but surely warming up to it, and NT has proven themselves to be competent with the brand. If it doesn't work out in sales, then they'll just go back to original series. No doubt they've been looking at ways to explore the brand, and having two entrees run simultaneously could do just that.
I'm very excited with seeing how it all turns out.
I liked the Berial boss fight, but it's not really that impressive in design. Hell, theres a video on YT of a guy beating him without touching the left analog stick. At the very least the Poison boss fight encourages you to keep moving.
I haven't seen that video but I can do that too if you stay airborne which is harder than doing it on the ground and moving around. And there is no evidence to suggest that you don't need to move around in DmC's boss video to kill her either (aside from possibly the spots where you have to trigger events). You can stay airborne against her acid spray and parry all her physical attacks while using the grapple or air glide to move within attacking distance which is all aided by soft lock on. I bet I can even take on entire mobs without using the stick because of the soft lock on nature of the game.
Using the left analog is just one of the mobility options for the character in a DMC game. Between teleports, air dash, grapples, Stingers, rolls, parries and gun floats there are enough mobility options to tackle a boss fight at whatever pace or difficulty you want.

I'd fight Murai and Fiend Ryu any day
He has an Alpha Protocol avatar. I think a game disc would need to literally explode out of the console and sever a limb before he'd doubt the studio.
Alpha Protocol is a great game despite it's technical problems, so that argument doesn't really mean much.
Glad I'm not the only one to notice it. It's kinda cringeworthy after awhile.
I don't remember the bleeping out of bad language being so bad last year.
I just returned from the CU board. It looks like one of the mods on CU is discussing their impressions of DmC demo as he saw it during his plays of it and he will add more later. Am I allowed to post his impressions? They are not that glowing.
i haven't replayed dmc4 in 4 years,but dmc3hd recently and credo in this vid looks a whole lot like a recycled vergil 3 (which i hope is in your top 5 as well!)
At least it feld kind of clever/ironic in the DmC demo, it annoyed me in the Dead Space 3 demo though.
Here's a video of the guy beating the boss nodes in Mission 19 on DMD mode without moving. Obviously he has to move to get to these nodes, but he doesn't during the fights.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CONKV8uP4Lg
Uhm, no as i said i only played DMC1 so it's not like a give a shit about Dante or DMC's lore.
I just don't like his schtick, seems like it's something like the Saint's Row level of superficiality, but taking itself seriously (which is the problem) with the jabs at O'Reilly and such.
I just read a walkthrough on Capcom Unity's page from one of the forum moderators that played the demo and jotted down the moveset and impressions of the demo. They did a little Q & A along with it and he will still answer questions it sounds like.

yowch that soft lock on doesn't sound like it's doing anyone any favors. Maybe that's why the doge has to make you all but invincible.

What? I'm okay with a variety of different art styles, directions and development choices. This character wasn't just unexpected, it's also downright laughable.
"But you can call me Dante the demon killer, has a nice ring to it don't you think?"
"fuck you!"
"fuck you!"
"fuck you!"
yeah. no red jacket and parted hair is gonna save that trainwreck.
What really bothers me is how when people get the chance to directly ask questions, through interviews or even on the live stream, they only ask stupid questions and things we already know.
We've been wondering how you do Stinger and Drive for a while, and we only know because the guy who did the walkthrough wanted to show.

So he used items and was getting hit...
LMAO HAHAHAHAAHAHA... this video is a joke.
FINALLY some indepth impressions.
You're judging the video too quick, if you read the descrpition, he says that he wanted to show that the game was too forgiving and trivial with items, not that he was so skilled he didn't needed to move.
The point isn't to just "beat" DMC4, the game is not that hard and it never was even on DMD. The point is to rack up as much stylish points in as quick of a succession as possible without getting hit or using items. How for you can take the boss fight and your combat mechanics is the true essence of DMC.
If he had made a video showing he could rack up immense style points and place in leaderboards for a boss fight without using the left analog stick and using items... then he might have a point.
I can beat the entirety of the bosses in DMC1 using Untouchable items and literally close my eyes plus mash away. That doesn't tell me anything about the depth or the mechanics of the boss fight.
Back to the impressions:
The vibrating feature is interesting, nice use of that technology.
The dodge invincibility frames are absurd, that shit needs to be nerfed.

It's not the video, it's the claim that DMC4 could be played with with only one analog - implying that the design was so bad the game could easily played on a meaningful level with skills
But really it ends up being using Devil Trigger and items indiscriminately.
He didn't said it was, read the damn description lol
He said people were saying the game wasn't too easy even with items, and he was trying to prove it is. That's all. He wasn't saying THAT'S HOW YOU PLAY DMC GUYS!!!
About the Capcom-Unity hands on, they really should make the dodge less invincible, the grapples already seem to make the game too easy, we don't really need an almost fully invincible dodge as well lol
I fail to see that when he literally wrote "this video is a joke"

Items are effectively self-imposed cheat codes in the DMC games (and Bayonetta). They pretty much nullify your score - they do everything they can to say "hey don't use these".
