So from the trailer I'm assuming Nero has a robo arm because Vergil is back somehow and took his actual arm so he could have his sword back, yes?

I haven't replayed 4 in forever so I can't remember if Nero still has his arm at the end of it or not lmao

I think the guy who took Nero's arm is probably the big bugman we saw in the trailer

Vergil probably breaks his way out of hell because nobody touches his precious baby boy like that

comedy option: it was Gene who was looking for the Devil Hand and was very very mistaken

It's going to turn out that if Vergil didn't rip off the arm Nero would succumb to his demon side/fall victim to whatever the bad guy's planning he's just very bad at explaining things.

I'm hoping the motorcycle is actually Rebellion because I can totally believe he'd find a way to transform it into a motorcycle at will

DmC practically threw all of the S ranks it had on you so long as you used the axe, so I'm sure the reviewers thought the combat was just as deep and stylish as the other games because hey look, the game keeps telling me how cool and stylish I am!

i skipped DmC but there's no way any of the enemies in it are worse than chimeras and all the loving ethereal flying fuckers

It had enemies that were completely immune to anything but certain weapons

I think there was a small bit of lore in Bayonetta that implied Dante's mom was an umbral witch

also there is a DMC4 novelization because someone figured a series about superpowered demon hunters doing crazy stunts needed less visuals and more words

I inferred it just manifested itself one day in lieu of turning into a full devil when using devil trigger

yeah, his arm just started looking like that one day. That's why he wears the cast and takes care to hide the arm whenever he's around other people, nobody else knows

the animation cancelling re-work sounds like an assload of effort for something that I've never really minded in previous DMC games, but if they can pull it off good on them

Considering they said Devil Trigger is still in the game it's not an either/or.

Pretty much all of these games have mechanics in play which encourage you to avoid getting hit or suffer both score and mechanical punishments in some form or another, as well as handicap items to let you get past things. "Your cool robot arm functions at its best when you're stylishing wrecking foes" is pretty Devil May Cry. It's a game that *wants* you to learn to play better.

I feel like the series already has enough incentives to play well (style points, looking cool, actually beating the game), I don't need another one that sounds like I'll have to do maintenance on my poo poo

the arm explosion will most likely be this game's version of Nero's DT explosion from 4. An "oh poo poo" button if you get caught by an enemy's grab attack or just want some iframes

PAX just had a DMC5 panel, they showed off the other 3 Devil Breaker arms. Tomboy, which powers up Blue Rose to shoot flaming cannon shots and boosts the Red Queen's Exceed gauge super fast, Helter Skelter which is a big drill arm that powers up the more you mash the devil breaker button, and a 3rd arm whose name I forget that's a giant whip arm that slices and grabs enemies.

Do we have a name for the timestop Devil Breaker? Or for that Crossbow/skateboard one? All these sound very cool and different, can't wait for some footage.

Punchline is the skateboard one.
