e-capcom limited edition

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

might just get regular package version.

The trailer and the Japanese boxart look great! It's too bad the Limited Edition is only available at e-Capcom. :/

 

[Monocle]

Ugh, so much cringe in that trailer. It's been such a long time since I actually watched any cutscenes in DMC4 that I'd forgotten all the "KYRRRIIIIEEEE!" stuff, and throwing four separate snarky anime "Blah blah blah, huh?" lines in there practically back to back was a bad choice

I guess I can suffer through it all again for the glorious return of my main man, though. I wonder what that Concentration mechanic is all about. IIRC, you got huge bonuses to the Style meter in DMC3 SE if you let his sword-sheathing animations play out in full rather than canceling out of them, so maybe it's an expanded version of that?

Important detail: the story doesn't take itself super seriously like the reboot. Some moments are played straight, admittedly, but at least the game isn't trying to be current or make a political statement.

Why do they have to be so cruel?
i want it.

Actually DmC is much more self aware than it appears, you only have to look at the new ending and pay attention, it fooled all.

But DMC can tell a better semi serious story too, like 3, DmC is like a strange combination of 3 and 1

 

[Endo Punk]

Holy Shit that boxart!

Important detail: the story doesn't take itself super seriously like the reboot.

And that's the difference between a fun story and a cringeworthy one. If you wanna tell a serious story you better damn well make sure it's a good one. TLOU would have been ruined if its writing was aweful.

Trish is cooler though...

Trish is a whack ass Oedipus complex.

Nero has an a Ghost Dad Stand arm that gives him the power of wrestling moves.

And lady is just like a person, just... a person.

Trish is easily the least coolest.

This man knows his stuff. Biker suit Lady is the best Lady too (from DMC anime).

That's why Lady > Trish.

The real reason we like Trish. DMC1's story is pretty... yeahhhh

I love it for its campness <3

I like them all, there is no one that is uncool, no one.

Also i always thought that her backstory was intriguing, a demon clone made to look like Dantes mother, how Vergil would react to her, can Trish make Dante uncomfortable by acting like his mom, as implied by the anime?

 

[Mr. X]

Trish is filled with light tho. Can't do shit without light. She is clearly superior.

 

[Dahbomb]

Lady gets mad props for being a human among super powerful beings.

She's like Black Widow among Thors and Hulks.

 

[Seyavesh]

trish is the coolest and she goes 'ya ha ha'

Eh, the ending can't retroactively change the tone and subject matter of the game. It really does take itself rather too seriously. If NT had just made new Dante go full-on foul mouthed goofball the game could have kind of worked, tonally.

And that's the difference between a fun story and a cringeworthy one. If you wanna tell a serious story you better damn well make sure it's a good one. TLOU would have been ruined if its writing was aweful.

Yep.

Trish is a whack ass Oedipus complex.

Nero has an a Ghost Dad Stand arm that gives him the power of wrestling moves.

And lady is just like a person, just... a person.

Trish is easily the least coolest.

Trish stood toe to toe with Dante in the first game and it was glorious. A rival/partner who had a disturbing resemblance to his lost mother. It was a cool dynamic.

Lady has a good backstory and was well developed in DMC3. She's human. That makes her demon hunting exploits and her association with Dante all the cooler.

Nero is a punk with white hair and a weird arm and no weight to his backstory. He's strong because his daddy happens to be a stone cold badass. What does he really do, apart from yell the name of his girlfriend?

 

[Village]

Creedo is kinda lame.

Take that back.

Right now.

No Trish is a weird oediopus complex that just stuck around. Yeah she has powers, but she isn't as impressive as say lady. Just a person not the son of sparda, not made by a demon to trick Dante but, just person.

Or Nero ghost dad stand arm. Weider of the grapples and the slam jams. Grandson of sparda, son of virgi, nephew of dante. ANd guy who could just use swords. Dante can't do swords, he can't. When dante uses the yamato, he just does the slashes. Nero had that thing for like 5 minutes. And was like "I don't know why but i feel like floaty ass swords are the way to go " . My man already knew how to juggle dudes in marvel, shit was in his dna.

Also and most importantly homie got a rev up sword, my man sword revs up. Like a damn motorcycle.

That's why Lady > Trish.

The real reason we like Trish. DMC1's story is pretty... yeahhhh

#TeamLady

Is the Japanese version going to be in English? Because if so I'll happy import that in a heartbeat.

 

[RadioHammer500]

All i remember about Trish is that she electrocuted dante did a roundhouse kiss and threw a motorcycle on him.....

 

[Dahbomb]

Trish stood toe to toe with Dante in the first game and it was glorious.

LOL when the hell was that?

First encounter Dante puts Trish on her ass by just flexing his muscles.

2nd encounter Trish tries to scumbag on Dante by sniping him while he is trying to fight Nightmare. Once he beats Nightmare, he has to save Trish from getting hit by a falling rock LOL!


I don't hate Trish or anything... I kinda like her change post DMC1. More chill, laid back with a cheesy side to her.. enjoying the human life with Dante rubbing off on her. But in terms of power level she is not on the Sparda lineage tier.

 

[Astral Dog]

Creedo is kinda lame.

hah

Credo, the only serious and heroic character of the Order that was the best boss, sounded like Vergil and had an awesome demon transformation? nah, but yes you could find a few, truly lame ones, mostly on DMC 2

I was talking mostly about the main cast though.

Yeah but she benched a fucking motorcycle so she gets mad cool points, sorry. Also, lightning hands.

I mean, I guess I prefer DMC4's story to DmC's utter dreck, but it's definitely a lesser of two evils thing. Seventeen-year-old Me was so hyped up for DMC4 back in the day, and some part of me has never recovered from the disappointment. Couldn't believe that they'd followed up the GOAT DMC3 with this story about some shmuck and his girlfriend where you play half a game twice, there's only one good bossfight, all that Vergil teasing goes nowhere, and the credits roll after absolutely nothing of consequence happens. I've got nothing but praise for DMC4's gameplay, but everything else? Yeesh.

Still day-one-ing the Special Edition, of course, but let's just say I hope they don't make you play through the main story first before you can play the new stuff

Also, #TeamLady. That gun reloading scene in DMC3 alone outshines anything Trish has ever done.

It making a political statement wasn't the issue, it doing it poorly was.

I don't think much of anything she even did in that story was that memorable and DMC3 retroactively made it less memorable. Like she is a neat concept, but at least for me she isn't much of anything. You talk shit about nero, but his dad makes him more interesting than trish was... ever.For me she's that thing at the end of the cartoon that should have reset... but didn't. I don't particularly mind it but i'm not going to pretend she is much more than Oedipus complex.

Lady has a good backstory and was well developed in DMC3. She's human. That makes her demon hunting exploits all the cooler.

yes

Nero is a punk with white hair and a weird arm and no weight to his backstory. He's strong because his daddy happens to be a stone cold badass.

Eh, while what you said is super opinionated and arguable. I will say i can kind of say the same about dante.

" why is dante and virgil so cool,"

"his dad was demon jesus "

Like why lodge this compliant now?

Nero lifted a statue that was the size of a building.

It is subjective. All I can say is Trish made a great entrance and a big impression on me in the first game, and since then she's stuck in my mind as a cool character. I think she's been severely underused in the DMC series. She could be the Jeanne to Dante's Bayonetta but instead she just does sexy cosplay and hangs out at Dante's place while he eats pizza. She should go on missions with him and kill things.

Honestly, Dante is such a flake that I bet Trish is the brains behind his business.

Nero lifted a statue that was the size of a building.

OK but was it a statue of a motorcycle? Checkmate.

 

[AdaWong]

Trish is fucking awesome. Period.

Filled with light. Female Dante (when it comes to jokes). Is a biker. And throws a fucking motorcycle at people if they piss her off.

A literal living legend.

I wonder when we'll get weekly DMC4:SE streams from capcom unity..

 

[WORLDTree]

That's true which is why it's all the more interesting as to how Capcom is going to make this work LMAO! Maybe he had a moment of weakness.

I mean Vergil has nothing on this guy:

When it comes to being proud of your superior lineage yet even Vegeta gave in.

Spoiler

It's Lady

She should go on missions with him and kill things.

Don't they do that at the end of DMC1? Thought it was implied after that.

Exactly, if Trish was out there doing cool things, who would be taking care of the business to stop it from falling apart? or blowing up, whatever.

Trish is not that different from Jeanne now, she just got kidnapped later, but it would be cool if Trish played a bigger role next game, the problem is how to fit her with the inevitable new female character.

 

[Dahbomb]

I wonder when we'll get weekly DMC4:SE streams from capcom unity..

I really hope so. Lots for them to show off.

*Lady mechanics/weapons/moves.
*Trish mechanics/weapons/moves.
*Vergil mechanics/weapons/moves.
*Showcasing new modes.
*Showing potential changes to the game play and level design (I know enemy lay out is changed based on the trailer... there was a Blitz in the Forest for Nero).

Exactly, if Trish was out there doing cool things, who would be taking care of the bussiness to stop it from falling apart? or blowing up, whatever.

Pretty sure that's exact what Lady does. Trish is actually about as irresponsible as Dante on the matter of keeping the business running.

 

[Astral Dog]

Lady has her own agency, but i guess she gives them pity jobs now and then so Devil May Cry may not be as successful as it seems.

You could easily make that a gameplay quest on DMC 5 by taking missions to buy more fancier houses for Devil May Cry, of course, at the end it gets destroyed.

 

[Kaleinc]

Credo, the only serious and heroic character of the Order that was the best boss, sounded like Vergil and had an awesome demon transformation?

Credo sounded like Vergil because they were done by the same voice actor.

 

[OniBaka]

Just watched the trailer again at home, is the motion blur going to be in the proper game or was it edited in the trailer? Looks pretty cool when I saw Dante do rainstorm.

 

[buddha0991]

I wish Trish got Gloria's dagger as some kind of subweapon, and her having Pandora is a really strange choice of weapon huh

Nin-Nin Games have it for pre-order, if y'all want it.

Wonder if they'll just swing the whole Nero is Vergil's son to "son" in a clone/test tube sort of way. Guess we'll see soon enough.

THE TIME HAS COME, AND SO HAVE I!
Probably been done a million times but I don't give a shit, this has me so excited. Never thought I'd see something like this happen.

 

[Unit24]

Not this again. By buying it digitally all it does is tell them that they don't need to release it in retail because consumers will buy it anyway. I'm not going to risk giving them my money in hope they release a retail version. When they decide to release a retail release then I'll give them my money. Until then, screw them. If I can get a friend of mine to ship me an import copy from Japan, I will import it, if he can't guess I'll be passing this title up

What do you think would happen if a bunch of people refused to buy this? They'd assume people didn't buy it because it was digital only, then apologize and give it a physical release? They're not gauging interest in digital releases, they're seeing how much people care about classic Devil May Cry. If a bunch of people didn't buy their digital only DMC release, they'd think "oh, I guess people don't care about DMC", and then drop it yet again.

 

[GuardianE]

I like to think when Vergil comes back and wanders into the DMC shop he's gonna look at Trish and what she's wearing and give Dante the ol

Vergil actually comments on Trish in UMvC3, calling her disgusting. A demon crafted to look like his mother probably rubbed him the wrong way.

Lady has her own agency, but i guess she gives them pity jobs now and then so Devil May Cry may not be as successful as it seems.

You could easily make that a gameplay quest on DMC 5 by taking missions to buy more fancier houses for Devil May Cry, of course, at the end it gets destroyed.

This is my take on it as well. Dante isn't really all that interested in sustaining a viable business. As long as there are demons to hunt, he's happy. Trish showed that she was a bit more business minded in DMC4 at least... and Lady seems to have gone off and done her own thing, rather successfully.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Pretty excited to dig my teeth into this again. I was afraid we might not get it on PC.

 

[entremet]

I'm so excited. I'm one of the few blokes who prefers 4 over 3. Nero is so fun to use.

You don't have to order from e-Capcom themselves.

Nin-nin is taking orders, and I've done business with them before.
