Devil May Cry

There's no way in hell they're removing the dice game. They're explicitly going for minor tweaks, not stuff that would change the layout of entire levels.

It's time:

WE DID IT!

WE'LL FINALLY FILL TRISH'S DARK SOUL WITH LIIIIIIIGHT

by beating Bloody Palace with her.

So, can any normal human be as badass as Lady and defy the physical laws of the universe? Cool.

I know it's probably not going to happen, but I'd like if they added a way for Dante and Trish to fight Credo and Dante without going through a gazillion floors of bloody palace. I'd do it like they did with the Jester fights in 3 Special Edition and have optional portals in the levels teleport you to their fights. (perhaps colored black to avoid issues with canon?)

I think there was a mod for the PC version that allowed you to do that more easily. Someone might do that again.

Really, I wish these games had a more easily accessible Boss Rush mode available to all characters.

Bloody palace was bloody impossible. I never managed to get past Berial with Dante, for some reason.

... Wait, PS 4? Isn't DMC4 a PS 3 game? Does this mean that players who haven't moved to the PS 4 platform yet can't access this expansion?

Special Editions of Devil May Cry games aren't exactly expansions, but you're right, as DMC4SE is only coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC. PS3 and 360 owners without an 8th-gen console will either have to get a new console or move to PC in order to play it. I don't think there's any sort of Old Save Bonus for having the old version, either.

Well, good thing I haven't bought DMC4 on PS 3 yet. I've been waiting for ages for a major discount to come, and then got distracted by a lot of stuff that I forgot to check on the PS store regularly.

You know, I actually predicted Trish and Lady would be playable. I was only, like, 40% confident, but man oh man was I so happy to be right.

While I hope that Vergil, Nero, Trish and Lady will be Bloody Palace bosses, I doubt they'll go that far. Yeah, having them playable is just the extent I believe.

I imagine programming them to be bosses takes a lot of work, which is why Dante wasn't one for Vergil in DMC 3 SE.

I'm actually a bit disappointed that Vergil's Dark Knight costume's Devil trigger doesn't turn him into Nero Angelo like in 3SE, even just as a costume. Having the Nero Angelo move set would be a bit of a downgrade.

I can't say I'm surprised that Nero Angelo isn't "Legendary Dark Knight" Vergil's DT. That would probably be seen as being too much of a drain on resources to make work with Vergil's moveset and size, similar to what happened with UMVC3 in regards to its Corrupt Vergil costume.

Yea, but it was such a nice little bonus in 3SE. They wouldn't need to give him the move set, just the skin with a sheath for Yamato on his armor like his normal DT. They're pretty much doing it for the Sparta DT already. But it's a small nit pick.

So Trish is basically a mix of Dante, Vergil and Chun Li, on steroids. Boy do she and Vergil look awesome.

Also, going by Dante's video, it seems the DT got back its healing function from 3. Nice. His gameplay seems to be unchanged, but considering how insanely huge his moveset already is…

Wonder if they made any tweaks to Nero's gameplay, though.

If it comes out on PC, I might find a way to get it… are PC controllers comfortable enough?

A… A Japanese dub…? *__* (… the cutscene is a bit dull though)

It is coming to PC (Steam, specifically) and PC controllers are just Xbox 360/One controllers, PS 4 controllers, Wii U Pro controllers, or special controller Valve is coming out with for Steam. Whatever works for you. Also, Dante's DT heals him in the regular edition of 4 as well.

So I was reading through Dante's page and this under "hidden depths" caught my eye.

How is he guilt-ridden?

He feels guilty over being unable to save his mom, or at least that's what I would assume. I don't remember if he acts that way in 1.

He never acts that way.

Um, yes, he does? In the underworld portion of the game.

Post the cutscene please.

I also don't recall "guilt-ridden". More determined, I guess. A stronger sense of purpose than in 3 and 4, yes, but guilt ridden? Eh...

Capcom dropped the ball if they did not give Nero the body board move.

Pretty sure they're not making any changes to Dante or Nero at all.

Not sure why, Nero could use a few more moves.
