I scanned the last few pages, but I'm not seeing the source for the digital only thing. I hate to ask, but can some repost where this has been referenced? Or is there a source?

Okay, Devil May Cry fans—you’ve been waiting since December for solid info on Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition. Here it is.

DMC4SE is currently in development for the PS4, Xbox One, and yes, the PC, and set for a release this summer. It will be a digital release, but you can expect a tremendous amount of content and replayability at a great value.

 

[The Silver]

I do hope there's more content than what was shown though, like heavily retooling campaign, extra weapons for Nero and Dante, Boss Rush mode, Gods must Die, and a couple extra boss fights.. If not I'd say I was expecting more content then we got (unless they reveal DMC5 at E3 then I'll be ok). Makes me wonder if that 2 week mo-cap session with Dan Southworth was for the DMC5 trailer/teaser at E3...

Ultimately was hoping for a short Vergil campaign, with new bosses... Hell DmC got a Vergil campaign with new levels and bosses..

this is already way more than I was expecting.

I never dreamed they would actually put in Lady and Trish, I just expected Vergil, the PC version stuff plus the things they added in DmC like must style mode.

 

[Shauni]

This one.

Thanks. Well, that kind of sucks for me, but I'll still get it.

 

[Corgi]

Shit is finally happening...

[Sera O]

Did I just see playable Lady? Oh my god. I had never even considered that that might happen, this looks amazing.

 

[Astarte]

...They wouldn't.




Would they?

Only if they were cruel and vengeful

They're going to remove it

 

[ShadowKingpin]

Oh god. Another round with the terrible character, Nero. I will say, I LOVED the boss battles, though.

 

[IvorB]

The .gifs in this thread are amazing.

 

[OniBaka]

Oh god. Another round with the terrible character, Nero. I will say, I LOVED the boss battles, though.

At least he is fun to play as.

 

[direct_quote]

Anyone want to start a petition/twitter campaign for a US physical release? I really want one badly, otherwise I'll skip getting a PS4 and get this for PC..

 

[RadioHammer500]

DMC4 has the deeper combat system, but there's no reason not to get both DmCE and DMC4SE, considering the former is a top tier remaster, and DMC4SE looks to be the same.

that's great to hear, I'll probably get both as some of you guys said, I'm thinking of just getting DMC 4 proper now along with DmC and then get the special edition in June

DMC 4 i often hear is considered like the deepest combat system in all of action games, is that too hyperbolic or is that pretty legit?

Very much legit.

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

DMC4: Special Edition trailer today and I'll be playing Bloodborne in about an hour. It's like, everything is coming in perfect alignment in regards to my gaming life.

DMC4 is definitely the most polished action game, but I'd still put Bayonetta and NGB above just for the sheer amount of content.

But if we're talking about DMC series, then yeah. DMC4 is the pinnacle of the series.

Dat trailer:

 

[raven777]

might import

The fuck is that?

'Nuff said.

 

[Blooddimond]

The fuck is that?

Think it might be the JP special edition. Doubt they'd give that much extra for a first print run

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

So looking at the Virgil design this is likely pre DMC3. And if the baby Nero theory is debunked. Then Virgil basically went to Fortuna for some pussy. And 9 months later Nero pops out and Vergil returns just in time for the events of DMC3 to take place.

 

[RadioHammer500]

The fuck is that?

'Nuff said.

well, i thought Bayonetta was the pinnacle of the genre

I was wrong

well as some of you guys mentioned earlier, i think DmC: DE will be a good starting point a less in depth combat system, but simpler controls, before i get to DMC 4..

that was an incredible gif

 

[raven777]

The fuck is that?

'Nuff said.

e-capcom limited edition

artbook + VA commentary book + 22 song OST that includes 2 new song

might just get regular package version.

 

[Dahbomb]

Bayonetta does a lot of stuff better than DMC4 but when it comes to pure combat mechanics DMC4 is the king. The skill cap for the game is near limitless.

 

[Dominic_Shade]

'Nuff said.

Love that casual Backslide at the end.

 

[BaraSailey]

e-capcom limited edition

Oh man, I want this! I really wish they'd release it physically in the West. I'm tempted to import this if the game's in English like the original DMC4 was.

 

[Dahbomb]

Love that casual Backslide at the end.

It wasn't casual... he set up the combo for that finisher. The Lucifer pin up exploded right at the moment the last hit of Million Stab would whiff putting the enemy in the perfect position and health for a Backslide finisher.

This combo is genius from start to finish.

how does DmC: DE compare to Bayonetta?

That cover is amazing. Definitely importing if Capcom doesn't change their digital only plans for the US.

As in it comes with the digital?


Fuck, I might just also import just to get that cover, lol.


Edit: Derp. I just read "book", so obviously not coming with the digital.

 

[TreIII]

It should. The original JP release for DMC4 was all in English, if I remember correctly. Even with the new JP VA for the SE, I'd imagine that the entire English localization would still be on the disc, just like it apparently was with the Biohazard remaster.

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

both Ninja theory's dmc and Bayonetta exist as actions games where doing cool stuff requires minimal skill. Bayonetta turns this notion up with quick time events, monster summons, torture attacks. Witch time, and attacks with overly large hitboxes that have a god of war like effect.


DMC4 is pure skill. You'll be doing boring three hit combos all day if you don't bother to understand the game mechanics.

DmC was designed to be a fun action game. Dmc4 was designed to be a skill based action game where sometimes the fun diminishes if you don't come to terms with the combat system.

True. Dante is a fucking beast to get used to.

Hope it stays the same for DMC5. Gotta respect NT for not having any QTEs in DmC outside boss fights and platforming.

 

[Surface of Me]

True. Dante is a fucking beast to get used to.

But once you pull off the cuhrazy moves, it's all worth it.

 

[NameGenerated]

Fuck that cover is so good. US physical pls.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

God dammit! Looks awesome! I can't keep watcking trailers of good games! There's too much for me to handle! lol

Daaaamn, so that's why it flew back at the end. Jeez, that timing is incredible. Genius combo indeed. @_@

 

[Dahbomb]

how does DmC: DE compare to Bayonetta?

Still a very good action game with a low entry point to do cool combos and stuff. DmC just doesn't have the cool enemies, bosses and weapon variety of Bayonetta so it's a worse action game but the core combat is still very solid and has a high skill cap if you want to get into it.

that's still good to know... i'll get DmCE to ease me into DMC 4

so DMC 4 is the deepest combat game, yet the special edition will ad 3 new characters to the game

is it safe to say that this game will not be surpassed in that department now

 

[Dahbomb]

Most of the depth of DMC4 comes from Dante. Nero himself while has a lot of depth is something a lot of games can compare to or exceed in certain elements. I foresee the same for these new characters, they will all be more like Nero with limited but interesting toolsets. Dante on the other hand is everything plus the kitchen sink... you would be hard pressed to find a character like him in an action game.

And yea you should get both DmC DE and DMC4SE (if you have current generation consoles, not like there's much else in the genre to play).

Well, I'm importing then.

 

[Seyavesh]

man what if they give dante all his moves from DMC3 back to just make it so DMC4 blows even the style switching mod out of the water

there are so many what ifs for potential 'holy shit'-ness, especially in the big mystery factors of lady and trish

 

[ZombieVito]

This just pisses me the fuck off.

 

[SykoTech]

So the awesome art is indeed the cover, and yet Western release is digital only.

Why do you do this to me Capcom? Okami HD all over again.

 

[Dahbomb]

You guys need to get on Capcom Unity and start telling Capcom to rectify this.

 

[ZombieVito]

Capcom won't do shit.

There has been 6 RE remasters to date. They only released one of them at retail and that was a one year old game.

What blows my mind is that they are releasing a retail release for the X1 in Japan... JAPAN.

 

[Om3ga]

Digital only probably means I'll be waiting for a sale or getting it on PC. Capcom could have at least sold a physical copy on their site! Damn Capcom!

 

[direct_quote]

It's funny too because DmCE box art is pretty mediocre, and DMC4:SE box art is awesome and we're not getting it...

 

[Phoenix Fang]

You guys need to get on Capcom Unity and start telling Capcom to rectify this.

What's the point? It's not like they ever listen to the fans from the market that actually buys their games.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I need to replay DMC3 before this drops, which is the best version of the game? I just played the Vanilla version of 3 ages ago.
