DmC: Devil May Cry - Demo Thread [Demo out now on XBL & PSN]
- Thread starter ezekial45
- Start date
Don't take my quote out of context. :s
I said if you liked previous NT games you should preorder. I have to put more time into it to see how it stacks up with previous DMC games.
Is it on PSN already?
Man I wanna play.
At what time we should expect it on PSN?

Yep. This is painful to look at for all the wrong reasons. It's so moronic I almost wish this was a wry self-aware parody of itself, just because of how dreadfully embarrassed I am for whoever made it.
Going to do my best to turn off my preconceived notions and maybe at least enjoy the environments when I load this up later.
Edit: Woops, thread moves fast.
Same for MGR. I wanted to DL the TGS trailer.
It's two months away. You don't often see games getting a lot of publicity on the console stores until closer to release date. I think Capcom's done a better job promoting this thing than a lot of their other titles.
Thanks, with luck by the time Im out of work it will be there.
Bomba confirmed. Let's welcome back our white haired overlord.

Can't wait to try it out, despite the criticism.
Secret rooms are fun, but the platforming one was pointless or was it just trying to showcase its background and visuals?
So far not too bad, I have to get used to the controls still (switching between angel and demon weapons)
Not as bad as I thought it was going to be, first part was fun, especially on the highest difficulty setting...boss battle was really boring though.

OK, well this game is WAY better than Superman 64!

This. Always so slow. =/
Yep they made a post saying that the 21st is for the Europe store demo. So US store is good to go today whenever it's up. =D
That is pretty funny.
Okay, I can confirm these links work for 360 demo. Download here
That was amazing! I have to reproduce that haha
Sweet. Can you load them up through a USB drive?

He's like a beautiful butterfly.
Best glitch ever.
On a related note I hope there's a sprint ability in the game. Right now the best way to get around is to Angel Glide low to the ground. Helps shaves off some seconds.
Gbraga you asked me if a poor man's Starrave is possible and looks like it is (just replace Aerial Rave with Hangar the Osiris equiavalent). Doing an actual Starrave is also possible but harder to do. Still easier than DMC4s although I don't think we will see anyone use it anytime soon.
And so the race to make the first DmC combo video begins....

This is how Tameem gets around to those clubs
I lol'ed so fucking hard.
What's the total filesize?
You have to replace it with Hangar or it's just easier? Is it faster with Aerial Rave? I want it as fast as possible.
How soon can you attack out of a neutral air evade? Can you cancel the evade with an Angel Glide, or the opposite?
Can you still use slash/shoot/slash to manage your enemie's position in the air with the new shooting system?

This happened to me for a few seconds in the Boss fight, I was hovering for a good ten seconds far above the boss arena before I somehow died.
It's easier with Osiris but you can do with Rebellion it's faster but harder that way.
Gonna test the other stuff seems like good things to tinker around with.
Yes to the last question but there is no need because there are a shit ton of ways to maintain air time even when you aren't juggling enemies.

Yup. Seriously Ninja Theory, ramp it up. I'm concerned they are worried that they are going to make it too hard (DMC3). They should really match DMC3:SE in terms of difficulty.
What do you think about Son of Sparda?
It's certainly my favorite, and I'm glad enemies and remixed - in addition to it being plainly more challenging.
All considered, all the difficulties should be shifted. Nephilim should be "normal" and Son of Sparda should be "hard." While Devil Hunter should be easy and Human should be very easy.
I'm just surprised they didn't change Devil Hunter to Demon Killer.
Cool, thanks. Think I'll just hang till GCT.

Is there anyone out there who is completely new to Devil May Cry playing this demo on devil hunter who can record footage?
Maybe I've completely lost touch on what is considered "normal" in a DMC game since I've played so much of it.

I just read this and I agree with most of this.
Well except for the enemy parrying, that's actually in the game at Nephilim and SoS. Those shield enemies do parry. Regular enemies not so much. The advanced flying enemies have a wild forcefield that you need to be careful of.
Arbiter is dry as fuck, not enough move variety. It's especially dry when you have to kill those red enemies with just the Arbiter. I really don't look forward to being in a room of multi-colored enemies...
There is plenty of recovery on moves... the problem is that you are freely allowed to cancel into a dodge to make anything safe. It's the GoW syndrome.
Dante's dodge had been identified as being overpowered ever since E3. It's too good and it negates the importance of the various other evasive mechanics. Not that it matters because the enemies don't attack that frequently and in the off chance you get hit they don't take away that much damage.
I agree with what you said about the difficulties. Nephilim should be Normal/DH, SoS should be Nephilim/Hard. The problem is that SoS seems like it's balanced around having a full arsenal because spawning red/blue enemies early in the game would break it.
SoS at least has you dodging more, regular enemies can tank through your attacks sometimes. I am not a fan of those blue/red enemies... I can stand the blue because I like using Osiris but Arbiter is boring as hell. Putting restrictions on weapon usage is lame IMO.
Now the long wait until I get off work. Thank you, Based Chen.
I played the demo.
The combat isn't as fluid as previous Devil May Cry's but I very much like the combat in its own right. I'm going an upload a video sometime this week of me playing the demo. There's some chain that I did which looked fucking awesome but I don't think I can replicate it.
Visually it's much more appealing than any previous Devil May Cry games. The lighting is a little too harsh at times but I love the shifting environments and there's so much color! It's crazy.
