Platinum really raised the bar with MGRs music but this song already gives me hope DMC4 will keep up. I can tell they paid attention to Bayonetta because this games backgrounds looks just like some of Bayo 2.

The fact that chargeable guns aren't mapped to a shoulder button by default is possibly the biggest problem with Nero.

I'm just happy that Capcom is back to making games like this again. It really was a mistake to give some of their franchises to Western devs like Lost Planet 3 and DmC were awful. Not counting the resident evil games like Operation Raccoon City that actually sold super well though (people loving love resident evil)

Yeah RE will sell no matter what, but they've still decided to turn that around despite being able to make cash with literal poo poo. RE7 was a return to form and this RE2 remake looks loving lit.

Capcom is and has always been tied with Square ugh for my favourite vidya company and I am glad to see them turning things around for two of my favourite franchises. It's been a very rocky road with Capcom and they are often loving poo poo in modern times, but I shall always hold them dear to my heart and let them fill my dark soul with light !!!!

capcom's entire history has been really talented devs contending with godawful management, it just happens that the guy pushing hardest to have western studios develop games tried and failed to start his own game company and make a lovely mega man successor

After starting another day with BANG BANG BANG I gotta say I am glad Capcom stepped up to the front of "cheesy videogame music" since it seems that even though Crush 40 is back, the new Sonic racing game is lacking in that department.


Also reloading prosthetic arms on the fly is loving amazing. We're getting the DMC4 Nero with:
-robot arms
-robot arms that can also function as rocket fists
-and rocket skateboards we can fly on
and that's just what we get from Nero I am so HYPE for this.

Nero had a few other arms on his belt and I hope that's how they incorporate style switching with him.

Farewell, marble-dwellers!
Didn't Dante use Tony Redgrave as an alias? The start of the E3 trailer has a radioman announce that "redgrave has taken over". I assume the message refers to all the demon vines and such or it could be that humanoid guy covered in blue glowly bits.

I told you so...
I wouldn't worry too much about the grit in the trailer. If I recall right, the DMC4 early trailers were all about the Final Fantasy visuals and the anime drama, but it eventually became the best DMC ever (in the form of the SE). The only reason I reserve my optimism is that the more modern setting reminds me of DMC2 and DmC:DmC. Even in DMC3 you only had 2-3 modern locations before getting in the Temen Ni Gru for the rest of the game. But after seeing the way Capcom handled the DmC re-release and the DMC4 Special Edition (SO GOOD!), I'm more confident that someone over there knows how to handle Devil May Cry.

You're correct on Dante going by Tony Redgrave in the novel, but the message in the trailer refers to the city, that is named Red Grave.

Kyrie was present when Nero got his arm ripped off and the woman preaching at the start of the trailer is Kyrie's VA so I wouldn't discard her yet.

Does Vergil know Nero is his son? Or that he even has a son for that matter? Maybe he's just "hey I can feel my sword from there", sees Nero, demands his sword back, is denied, proceeds to rip the arm clean off without explaining why he should have the sword. Then, a series of misunderstandings all the way till Dante meets up with them and ends a pitched battle with an awkward conversation about who's who.

They acknowledged the weird stuff in the novelization, and in it the spirit or whatever of Vergil definitely knows Nero is his boy. Like what was mentioned before though, Vergil is an rear end in a top hat and probably thought he was doing Nero a favor; after all Nero hated that arm so much and daddy knows best!!

Vergil is just imparting the values he knows, if Nero didn't want to lose that arm he should have gotten power, MORE POWER!

It's not as if Kyrie is a much better character... Actually, Facegrill O'Breasts may yet have better characterization, though DMC has a pretty bad track record RE: female characters.

Yeah, sorry, I keep harping on tits because it's my go-to when making bad jokey names about lovely oversexualized design. I really should call her Midriff "Booty shorts" McThighs.

But I really disagree with that. She is dressed super lovely. Just not as bad as the worst character design ever. (EDIT: which is a tie between Gloria and Lady Redux)

There's nothing wrong with her design. Having more than an inch of skin exposed doesn't make a character oversexualized.

I thought it looked like the Scalebound mc Drew their face is a bit different but they have the same exact hair. Short spiky and white.

Also loving Scalebound's mc's name was Drew. That has to be the worst game character name ever.

Hot take: it's not about the design, it's about what a character does. She's a cool girl who can do stunt driving and creates robot arms. I'm okay with her being a bit obnoxious and over the top, cause this is Devil May Cry for fucks sake.

she literally is dressed like a normal person. don't get weird because a character wears clothes where you can see literally any part of their body. it's fine if you don't like the design but like this specific criticism doesn't really make any sense

if anything the goofiest part of her design is her goddamn tool holster, poo poo looks exhausting to haul around

I don't like the tattoos and the smoking :shrug:

It feels like the design is at odds with itself, trying to give a "though" and smart appearance at the same time but not being successful at melding both ideas into a coherent whole.

i mean i'm not saying the design is perfect. just that, it's not that weirdly sexualized, at least not compared to any american media
