I hate the way everything is multiplatform this gen. I'm not sure which version to pick up now. The 360 seems to look a tiny bit better according to some but I prefer the DS3 to the 360 pad. I'm still leaning towards PS3 but I'm not certain.
I am not sure about my previous FMV comment. After replaying it... I noticed that maybe they are in game cutscenes (like when Belial appears and the bridge breaks down, not the ones like in the beginning when they zoom all over the fountain area). I am now thinking that in those "high end" cut scenes they dropped the FPS to 30 so they could add more effects, post processing and higher poly models. You do notice a difference when Belial appears in the cutscene, then battle against him.... you do notice the poly count was lowered (another model quite possibly) and it lost a shader or two in the process. This is one of those few times I really do analyze the graphics of a game because it seemed interesting.
By the way, Belial owned me again =(. And I was so close too. Any tips? =P.
And this. I am a DMC noob, no clue.

LT charges your sword up for more power, you have to sit and mash it pretty hardcore to light up a lamp(watch the gauge up near the lifebar to see the needle for charging). You'll want to time pushing LT during an attack string to get an auto-charge(up to 3) for faster results. Takes practice.

For the boss the key is after his flame goes away and he's stunned to devil arm his face, then when he's down do it again to his side. Other than that just dodge before he attacks, or if you get low on health lure him to a building and pick up the green orbs.
And for the rev, press LT and the bar should rise to a certain point then stop. Let go and push it down again, and it'll rise a lot more, just keep doing that and all 3 lamps will fill.

I killed the boss pretty easily. I was in the air most of the time

streak: R1 + Foward + /\ -- now, at the end of Nero's slide, before he turns his hip to slash - about, tap L2 to just-rev. You'll see that one lamp meter was instantly charged.
non air High roller: R1+back +/\. when nero has his sword pointed up in the air thats when you ex
EX high roller (when you have a light): nero will do a 180 and slam his sword to the ground. Thats when you tap to ex.
High roller to air (holding down /\ or Y):
when nero has his sword pointed straight up tap to ex
EX high roller to air:
nero will do a 180 with his sword in the air, once his sword is pointing away from the enemy, ex.
air raid:
in the air R1+forward + /\
when nero's sword hits the ground, ex. This is the same when you have a light.

It was a good demo. I'm still batting around whether or not I should just deal with the 360 controller or wait for a PS3 to pick up this game.
Toonami 99 said:
But like I've said before the reving for the kind of timing it requires, really doesn't give the needed payoff.
Just saw Matt Rorie played the demo on Gamespot Live, and he didn't even know how to use snatch to stay up in the air while battling Berial, I think that's really the problem the game is going to have when it comes to reviews, reviewers simply won't know how to play with skill.
*runs to go to try this*Kyoufu said:I just figured out the visual cue on the Just-revs for High Roller, Streak etc.
Perform High Roller, and press L2/LT when you see the screen shake. Same with Streak or any other special attack.
Guaranteed Just-EX
it works!! thanks for sharing this, makes the timing soooo much easier having a visual clue as big as this

Thats where demos come in. You get to figure out for yourself if you like the game or not. Personally i loved it, thats why i paid my pre order in full.
Now onto the more important matters, how many combos does "red queen" (sword?) have? I only figured out the, attack attack delay, one.
Edit: But all in all i am happy that i can get an A combo right at the beginning of the game.

I use the rumble to tell, it works pretty well but still not 100%, I think the window could have been more forgiving.
yeah i would much prefer it to be L1 myself, feels weird pressing R1 to lock on and then L2 for the ex. that said, i managed to pull off that cool streak from the trailer where the nero's ranking goes to SSS (i only got to A, then successfully tauntedKyoufu said:Yup, now all we need to do is switch L2 to a non-trigger/analogue button to make it easier on our fingers.
)Perhaps someone could create a tutorial video for the just EX moves.Yasser said:yeah i would much prefer it to be L1 myself, feels weird pressing R1 to lock on and then L2 for the ex. that said, i managed to pull off that cool streak from the trailer where the nero's ranking goes to SSS (i only got to A, then successfully taunted

Well, I beat Belial in the 10 minute mode. I had like a minute and change to spare. Demo is pretty easy, but I'm warming up to Nero as a character.

I figured it out!
when you attack, at the point of contact you will see a flash of gold, thats when you tap to EX, take the gif for example:
notice the shiny gold color after the point of contack, thats when you justEX, all you do is look for the gold and ex.

The demo (of mission 1 of the retail game) is tuned-difficulty wise for players like this. Not for ninja gaiden or devil may cry 3 dante must die youtube combo masters.

Yeah thats correct indeed. I find it easier to look for screen-shake though. The gold isn't too clear compared to the other fiery effects.

About that gif, the ex high roller lands on the second enemy, can you charge during that hit?
DantesWrath
Member
Yeah you can, you can charge during any attack, even revved onesLostconfused said:
Lostconfused said:
Nope, each move only has one tiny window to Just-EX on. It doesn't matter if the move hits 5 enemies or zero, if you miss the window, you won't get the EX.
edit: if you mean can you charge during revved moves, then yes, but as I said, it doesnt matter if the move connects or not.

Kyoufu, thanks for the heads up on the camera shaking, works perfect for special moves.
now all I need to do is practice and ill get the regular combos down. A video needs to be made for this.

It's really a beautiful game and I kind of feel silly about bringing this up but is anyone else kind of disappointed in the texture quality of the cinemas? I kept reading how they were in-engine, similar to how they were in Dead Rising, and while that's certainly true there seems to be a world of difference in the quality of textures being used in DMC4 and those that are in Dead Rising. I suppose some things had to be scaled back to get the game running at that framerate with minimal loading and all but since they're using modified versions of the same engine I guess I was just expecting something a little more similar.
drohne said:
That depends on certain aspects of the scene. Its not a defect of PS3 hardware but a difference in rendering that capcom opted to go with.[Who knows] 360 also has texture shimmering. Really did you have to sneak in something that is non existant when playing both versions? If your the guy that stops to scrutinize a scene in the middle of some satisfying action then we don't want you in our club. jeez did you even know what temporal AA was before this or you needed a fix from B3D?

DMC4 looks fine as it is, what annoyed me in dead rising was that stutter when an attack landed. Anyways my point is, different games are different games scale/gameplay doesn't exactly match up between the two.

How do you dodge Berial's attack where he stands there, gets all super-fiery, and then charges at you?
I tried rolling and running but neither seemed to work. Am I just doing it wrong, or is there another way?

Any time, a boss from a DMC game has a slow but poweful "i'm charging an attack to fuck you up bitch" type move, it's best to evade roll (r1+left/right+X) last millesecond possilbe.
The benefit of rolling as opposed to jumping away is that you have invisible frames.

Best OP Ever.. Thanks!
I had always thought the game was running at 30 but the 60FPS is a VERY pleasant surprise. I am much more enthused about this game now.

The gif went exactly like this:
R1+O/B -> /\ / Y then L2/LT -> left stick back + /\ / Y
After the grab, a Just-EX was performed on the first attack, with the high roller EX hitting both enemies.
To perform a Just-EX, time the L2/LT button inbetween a sword slash (practice the timing).
