Video preview by IGN.

You can notice new things like a short Vergil vs Dante footage and a new scene from what i think is Vergil's opening.

Can't wait to dig into that IGN footage when I get home.

The game seems to be getting really good media coverage.

Honestly, I was pretty worried about that. DmC was a critical darling, and every game journalist seemed to want to throw the fans and classic series under a bus.

So, I asked Gregaman on CapcomUnity some minor questions about the SE. Link.

Most importantly, there is no timer option for BP, like we feared.

Vergil's opening really resembles his opening from DMC3SE, only much more elaborate and badass.

A bit of an embarrassing preview, though. They claim DMC4PC came out "a couple of years ago", they corrected themselves wrongly by saying there were 6, not 5 playable characters (unless there is something else that's hidden or they were talking about Corrupt Vergil), and claimed the only release date info was Summer TBC when Capcom has already revealed the exact date.

That's the Japan release date. We still don't know when it'll come out in the West.

Good questions, and nice of him to give legit answers.

Looks like the commands for Vergil's moves are pretty Nero-like.

We can also probably throw hopes for a boss rush out the window. Chances of dice game changes might be slim too. Sounds like they didn't want to touch anything that isn't combat.

That intro looks very cool, but as much as i want to see Vergil killing some demons with style, i want the intro to have some story significance beyond that, its only two cutscenes after all.

There were some incredible articles after DmC was not as well recieved:

I'd gladly throw DMC4's levels under the bus a dozen more times if it makes DMC5's level design just an ounce better :p

I remember that first article, especially from the same writer who told fans to "vote with their wallets." I guess people only say that when it's convenient.

Jesus that first article.

There’s a stereotype that gamers are all pathetic shut-in misanthropes with the social grace of pubic lice (pre-endangered species status) and adjustment disorders so pronounced they are visible from the moon.

This person's self filter was nonexistent.

Looks like its confirmed that the move is indeed "Rapid Slash" into "Rising Star" where you just hold down Triangle after Rapid Slash.

That next level stuff.

Those people have no backbone, I never take what they say seriously. I just laughned when they cried about DmC.

Nice. I'm glad my eyes weren't playing tricks on me.

Holds for more moves altered halfway through execution could open up some new stuff for sure.

Yeah, we had giant threads about these. Absolutely horrible. Well, the vg247 one and the mcuk ones specifically. The Forbes one was a refreshingly logical counterarticle.

There was a lot of ignorance and spite in those articles, and it extended to many of the reviews. The most informed review I saw was actually from Anime News Network.

Yeah. The "journalists" antagonized the fanbase just because they didn't accept the reboot after they pretty much told them to go fuck off. Sales bombed and once again the "journalists" antagonized the fans for not supporting it with their wallets. Those were some extremely dark days.

Never forget.

You guys don't know how hard he swags on those fools...

He throws his scabbard like Dante throws his Rebellion with the Sword Pierce move... it pierces one of the enemy. Vergil actually teleports through a bunch of enemies ahead of the trajectory of the scabbard, tosses his Yamato around like Round Trip and when it comes back to him he sheaths his Yamato into the scabbard that just arrived to him just in time!

UNBELIEVABLE!!! GIMME MORE OF DAT PLEASE!
 
All this hype and thinking a lot more about DMC4 reminded me how much I miss Free Ride. Really wish Dante had it, along with Nero and that Free Ride-ish maneuver he does with his sword in one of the cutscenes.

The music in this game is such abject trash. Should've hired someone to replace this crap.

Yeah, most of the music is bad. And the new songs, previewed on the main website, sound pretty bad too.

But there are a few decent ones in DMC4 like Baroque & Beats and Swipe of Sword. I think that if they shifted focus with the music direction, and centered it more on the orchestral mix stuff, it'd work.

I really hope that the music on the main website isn't a sign of the direction they're thinking of heading.

Good questions. Looks like he updated with this:
Update:

I am told Dante and Nero have not been tweaked, so I'm not sure what that Streak was. I wonder if he just immediatley pulled off another EX-Act and Streak, but I'd have to see the clip.

Then what the hell was that? I dunno if you can link him the gif/video, but he had Exceed 3 Streak and it definitely behaved differently.

It's criminal that Baroque and Beats only shows up twice in DMC4.

But yeah, tracks like Baroque and Beats, Swipe of Sword, and Ragnarok need to be the style they go for.

If DMC5 goes dubstep, I don't think I'll be able to handle it.

I like Belial's (isn't that what he's supposed to be called) Bael's and Credo's themes but yeah the music is pretty meh. I honestly kinda dread going back to hearing THE TIME HAS COME AND SO HAVE I and FEEFO FEEFO FO FYE FEW over and over again. The new characters better get their own themes and they better not be that crap on the website. That was simply awful, especially Lady and Trish's.
