Are there any spoilers on who V is? He's obviously connected to Mundus in some way (what with Griffon, Phantom and Nightmare). Or he could be a random demon summoner that managed to tap into hell's top lieutenants, but somehow I don't think it's the latter.

My wild guess is that he's a human conduit of some sort in order to bring Vergil back. Twist it up, because Urizel is someone brand new and Vergil's back to save the day! Somehow. And gets to watch Dante die this time.

My will is weak actually and I watched it. That wasn't spoiler-y at all unless you somehow haven't watched anything on the game before. It didn't even show much gameplay or any new enemies/bosses. Whoever did the trailers did an excellent job. I gotta go watch the anime and find a translation for that prequel book. I saw Lucia's picture with everyone else's in it which is interesting.

In an interview one of the composer for the soundtrack said that he composed the music for Vergil, though they are calling him V this time around. It's still possible he got things wrong, not being super close to the project, but that seems to seal it.

worth mentioning that if you're a PC player and the type to preorder, gmg has the deluxe edition on discount to the point where it's about the price of standard, so if you want all the bells and whistles effectively for free that's your best bet

the standard edition is discounted to about $45 if you don't care about bells and whistles at all

I played through DMC3 and 4 many time at this point but never played DMC1, is it worth playing at this point?
I'd ask the same about DMC2 but I'm pretty sure I know the answer.

I mean DMC 1 is where we see Nelo Angelo and the shadow cat V uses for the first time. I think it's something you'd enjoy at least one if you played DMC3 and 4. It doesn't have the personality of those games, though, since it was kind of a new thing. I remember when it first came out I mostly found Dante's personality groan-worthy, and the ending has voice acting that is pretty laughable. Maybe watch an LP? AccountingNightmare did a great one back in the days.

I need to find a DMC wiki and start reading, I'm missing all these connections to the past games. I skipped 2, only played maybe half of 4, and barely remember 1 and 3. I couldn't tell you what was spoilery about that last trailer aside from Vergil who I think is supposed to be dead?

He's been assumed dead since 1, but a demon exploding into blue flame doesn't have the same hard finality of getting loving blasted to pieces you need to stay down in anime

DMC1 is an interesting look into the genesis of this genre of high octane action game, but is very antiquated by today's standards. Dante also was basically a posturing jackass without any of the goofy pizza-munching charm of the later games. I remember it being a quick game to beat so that LP recommended earlier would probably be a good choice

DMC2 was considered to be terrible even by the standards of the time. It's kind of a miracle how much they turned things around with the third game

In the lower right corner you can see Vergil behind Nero's render. However, there's a strong debate going over whether he's photoshopped from the trailer or if is legit.

Just a random thought.

So if you look at Dante in chronological order he starts by being a young party punk, then his brother goes MIA so he gets gothic and depressed and acquires a taste for booze and strawberry sundaes.
Then he randomly figures out that he's and uncle so his uncle instincts kick in and he goes back to being a churaizeh party hobo again.

Sounds about right?

It's weird that Dante actually has a pretty compelling character arc given that he was clearly designed based off whatever the director thought was cool at the time.

Sorry this is off-topic kind of, but is there some trick to getting the mash moves to come out in DMC3? I cannot for the life of me get them to consistently come out.

they are bufferable too so if you start mashing before the "mash point" or whatev it'll count towards it
easy example is like if you do helm breaker->keep mashing melee->stinger, you'll go into million stabs right away

There was some fuckery with DMC3s difficulty but I don't remember the details.

Didn't the western version of DMC3 have Hard mode be called the Normal mode and Normal be called Easy? Something like that?

In preparation for DMC5 I've been playing through the DMC games for the first time this past week. An hour ago I thought I would finish the last few levels of DMC3 and start up DMC4 by now; I was wrong. Vergil 3 is a real rear end in a top hat. That is all.

They kind of do.

The novel mentions that Mundus created an artificial demon (described as being made of blackness) using Dante, Sparda and Vergil's combat data and send him off after Dante

Okay there are actual spoilers going around now. These will probably be seen on youtube over the week so I'd recommend watching out for them even though Capcom's been killing what's been showing up. If you wanna remain unknowing of what's in the game then I suggest being very careful where look IE reddit.

Game still looks pretty dope, and I can't wait.
