Devil May Cry 4 SE: Vergil, Trish & Lady Playable, Release Date 18th of June
- Thread starter Flying Wonkey
- Start date
Oh, you meant in terms of sales. I can't really argue with that, because Platinum games always bomb.
It mattered but MGR still being a good game had a lot to do with it too.

Sales? well then Rising did good for them, lets see if recent developments don't affect the future of that series,but should be a safe proposition, GoW is very successful (best selling in the genre) except for the last one, another is coming up. Scalebound is funded and published by Micosoft, seems to be a bit more targeted to Wester audiences, could sell good or bad.
Wonderful 101 was a total disaster, Bayonetta 2 sold badly but at least was a critical darling. Nintendo could consider Platinum for another collaboration on other system.
Team Ninja has problems but its likely they will release another Ninja Gaiden someday, its possible.
DMC itself sold below their insane expectations but its still a successful series for the company, they just treat it badly at times.

So I've compiled a lot of the footage that we've been getting from Capcom's event. Naturally, since it's from the niconico stream understand quality is 360p/480p at best. Remember some of it you've seen before, some of it is new. But I think it would be nice to start compiling it together in larger videos.
There is also one segment of footage in which the sound was terrible with annoying background music and commentary so I just overlayed Vergil's special edition theme over it. These guest challenges are interesting because you see people of various skill level. And even poorly skilled players are picking up Vergil very quickly. Vergil seems very pick up and play friendly.
30 minutes of Trish and Lady gameplay
30 minutes of Vergil Bloody Palace Guest Player challenges. Some players are better than others. Naturally.
30 Minutes of Vergil Bloody Palaace Guest Player challenges Part 2. No sound, so I overlayed the special edition theme over it. Which sounds good in action IMO. Wish they actually used it in-game
I also have an hour and 50 minutes of Vergil gameplay where he's a new game Vergil going through the missions all the way up to and beyond the Berial fight. So...that's mission 4 + right?
that's still processing.

Yep.
Agreed, though, that it should stay out of the campaign mode and should be only in Bloody Palace mode (or some vastly-expanded-and-improved version of the same).

I can't wait for Greg to start streaming the game because I'm getting tired of shit low-quality video feeds we've been getting.

Thanks a lot man
I really don't have time to watch nico stream so your videos are my savior.

Here is 2 hours of Vergil's gameplay that I spliced together from all the streams. It showcases a new game Vergil, showing a lot of the mission level up screens and such etc.
It goes all up and through mission 4. Again, it's from the niconico stream so quality is well, you know.

Vergil's rapid slash is very useful against those knights.
When they block your attack, you can just rapid slash through them and teleport to close the gap to come behind them. While I have witnessed this before it's interesting to see people playing the game also put that together.

Around 34 (4480 yen I believe).
Btw was this Trish video shared here before? I didn't post in the topic around that time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UQ1TR6fsqo
Vergil is not going to have any trouble against any enemy in the game. That is a fact.
If only they had the time to implement a Vergil boss...
Though I guess I can't complain if his omission was the only way to have a playable Trish and Lady. Hopefully bosses based on all playable characters become a priority in 5 - aren't Lucia, Nero and Trish the only playable characters in the series to not also have been enemies at some point?
A copy-paste of Raid mode would be an awful idea, but the underlying concept could work as a way to implement co-op outside of just Bloody Palace. Especially if 5 moves away from a linear mission-based structure; having a mode that consists of a faster-paced linear route through segments of the main game's environments with altered enemy layouts would be a good way to allow a majority of the game's content to be playable in co-op; without compromising the rest of the game's design, as in RE games following 5.

LDK mode wouldn't work.
And it would probably be 720p at 60 fps not 1080p at 60 fps.
But you're right, they could still have included the new characters and not the other new features.
Although a lot of the attacks are heavy on the special effects, those would likely have to be toned down as well. Lady and Trish truly have some destructive shit.
So, Trish has Dante's Trickster dash, i wonder if that's her default dodge move(i really hope so). The only new moves i've seen so far are the spinning bird kick and the round trip move that pulls enemies towards her, the rest are pretty much Dante's moves but they managed to mix them in new combos, Itsuno did what he could with the little budget and time they gave him.
Yes. I love games & it doesn't matter if its 720p or 1080p. 30 or 60 fps. As long as it looks & plays good I am game.
Moreover the visual difference wouldn't have been too much. I think developing for other platforms would have cost them more thus they opted out. since most of the recent capcom games are failing.

Just to be clear, we can play every character from the get go right? I don't have to play Nero, if I don't want to?

Not sure what you mean, but if you are insinuating this is new, you could always jump cancel with him.
I wonder how Trickster dash is performed, since O is devoted to Sparda based attacks now.
Vergil has Enemy Step as a purchasable skill at 5,000 Proud Souls.
Where did you see the Trickster Dash? Because the one I saw was the dash before the Dance Macabre move which Trish has.
Isn't she unable to switch weapons? That should free up some of the collar buttons for other functions.
I think the Shoulder buttons might be the Rocket and Laser of Pandora.

I imagine LDK is selectable from the start as well.

I wonder if the trophies/achievements are going to be the same as the original game because DMC4 had it's own in game achievement progress cause it would be weird to have all of this new content and none of the achievements reflect that. I.E. I don't wanna have to S rank this game (more annoying than fun) to get the plat.
Still wonder if Kamiya would hold true to that Mysterious Murasame Castle revival since StarFox is already being done in house with EAD.
On topic, it's good to know that there's going to be regular streams of the SE for the near future.
Looking forward to the Capcom-Unity stream.
Those in-game achievements were actual achievements on the 360 version. The PS3 never got a trophy patch.
I imagine they'll revamp the achievements for the Special Edition to include the new characters and modes.

So that must have been the order of votes.. Poor Nero. Will be interesting to see Gregaman's take on Dante compared to notable DMC4 players (not like I'd be any better)...
Welp, it's time to party.

It doesn't work like that for a game like DMC, but whatever floats your boat I guess.
The Steam page also list achievements for the Steam version, vanilla DMC4 PC version didn't have achievements either.
Yeah, it looked like it was available from the get go when they started a new game with Vergil during the Nico stream.
Nero and Dante being at the bottom and Vergil at the top is no surprise.
Was hoping for Trish or Lady to be first though, we have seen a lot of Vergil already. Wonder who is the more competent between Greg and that girl Itsuno put on stream
Yeah, they were taking votes before the deluge of Vergil info. Still, we'll finally get some high quality footage with English commentary.
Yep. That'll be nice. It was unfortunate that vanilla DMC4 never got any achievements for PS3 or PC.

Well here's something interesting that's not quite DMC4SE related. Apparently a fan has imported DMC4 assets/animations into Unity3D, allowing him to do some interesting things with Dante/Nero's attack animations, and add some new attacks/abilities too.

Yup, it's a win-win.
He combined Nero and Dante as one, the DaNero O_O
Hey ,look, it's DMC5 Nero.
That Ninja Gaiden Yamato aerial rave(not the UT move), not bad.

Hopefully Bloody Palace is selectable from the start as well.
If is in then it will be a while before I hit the campaigns, though we still have to unlock the moves, health etc.
