Can anyone tell me wtf is going on?
I'm playing the PS3 demo a lot to work on my combos and exceed timings but what's annoying is that if I'm holding R1 locked onto an enemy and I hit him SOMETIMES IT SUDDENLY CHANGES MY LOCK TO SOME GUY ACROSS THE ROOM even though the guy I was hitting is not dead. This happened to me a bunch of times. I have no idea wtf is going on. Can anyone explain?

For any UK gaffers,
you can get the Limited Edition DMC4 for 360 for £27.99 on Gameplay using a discount code, if you want it day of release it seems you need to add the £0.99 P&P charge, just ordered mine, all in £29.98, note this won't work on the standard DMC 360 as it's under £30 already.
The PS3 versions are: £39.99 and £44.99 respectively, so would work out at: £34.99 and £39.99.
PC is cheap at £24.99 if you want that one.
Wow, the last time I bought anything off there was 2005 when I got a scart cable.

Apologies if I've missed a UK Gaming Bargains thread this would be more suited to?

Man, I've gotten so damn efficient and kicking Berial's ass.
He's a good first boss fight. Especially on easy mode. DMC4 has a good checkpoint system, so evne if he is a bit too hard for non-DMC vets, it should be okay.
Most know this maybe:
but the best way to maximize damage is to knock the lfames off, then use the punch attack on his gut, knock him back, then do it on his face, which will slam him down, and THEN punch him in the gut again. (don't waste time slashing in the mean time).
This way you can get 3 special attacks in one-go.

I just pre-ordered the Playstation 3 Collector's Edition. 
I haven't played the demo, nor do I think I'll end up playing the game before its full release.

Pretty much ridiculously good. And the way he has the ability to mix charged gunshots in while setting up aerial combos all while just-revving simply EVERYTHING is pretty insane. And finishing Berial with a smokin sick style...O_O

DMC4 has custom controls. The question was asked by an IGN-er who went to TGS 07. I trust them, also -- DMC3 had it. And it's actually crucial to high-level DMC play to alter the controls to pretty strange lay-outs.
Trust me, Capcom USA is essentially worthless, not to sound like a dick, but when it comes to a high budget Japanese game, the producers over there really give two shits about Capcom USA.
If DMC4 360 doesn't have custom controls, ban me -- for life. I really don't care, it's not like anything in 2008 other than (maybe) MGS4 and a few others is all that appealing to me at this moment.

It's a damn shame too many people are thinking this.
I like how people think the difficulty, move-list, enemies, are reflective of the entire 15 to 20 hour DMC4 experience.
I honestly do believe demos are a no-go for story based, linear -- 'character build' up type games.

i can't feel any significant difference between the sixaxis triggers and ones on the ds3.
This may sound like a hyperbole but I trust you it isn't.... The demo represents less than 5% of the actual "depth" in DMC4. Dante's depth in combat blows away anything Nero can do. If Capcom would've included a demo with Dante and all his style plus only like 3-4 weapons, we would be having pages upon pages of discussions about sets up with styles + weapons.DiddyBop said:

Man, it was hard enough coordinating with 2 devil arms and 2 Fire arms and a single style. I'm pretty sure I can't handle 2 devil arms and 2 Fire arms and 4 styles simultaneously. That is just way too much depth, you'll need Virtua Fighter levels of dedication and time to master it.
I prefer Nero's exceed system.

I tried both version and after first 5 minutes, I didn't have much problem with right bumper on 360. May be because this is the first time I'm playing DMC game.

I've been playing through DMC3:SE to prepare myself for DMC4 (boy am I rusty), and just now decided to finally give both the PS3 and 360 demos a whirl.
The first thing that blew me away were the graphics, simply because DMC3 looks so...not great. I know its just the same look we've seen in Dead Rising and Lost Planet, but man do I appreciate it. No matter how good NG2 looks in the end there won't be the same kind of gulf between the visuals in the sequel.
Going in I thought I might not like Nero, but this demo has put my fears to rest that at least I like playing as him. I don't get the hate this game is getting. I think I might be fine if DMC4 is just a refinement of the series.

Most of the hate appears to be coming from the "mid way" point of the game, where you switch to Dante and apparently replay a lot of the same missions and fight the same bosses (not all obviously). I think that is a valid issue and is the main reason why the game isn't getting the reviews it deserves.
That and some reviewers still think it's too hard (Devil Hunter mode)... :lol
ok i'm no reving master but here's a few tips to learn it easily
do stinger (R1 + forward + slash) and helm breaker (in air R1 + forward + slash), the rev frame for these moves are always at the end (recovery animation) and they are easy to catch. get a hang of it first and then move to normal attacks. Since normal attacks are fast and has a very small rev frame it takes a while to get used to it (especially if you wanna pull off a chain of rev attacks) the rev frames are around the middle/end of a slash.

So the demo is pretty easy for a DMC veteran. I wasn't even particularly good in DMC1 or DMC3 but I managed to beat Berial quite easily on my 2nd try and reduced him to a quarter of his health on my first.
So the decision I'm facing now is whether to start off on default difficulty when the game arrives or to start off on the harder mode and potentially face hours of frustration. Decisions, decisions.

I didn't know this demo was getting any hate.
In fact, it's probably one of the few rare demo's thats actually a success. (burnout, turok -- not so much).
Capcom did do a terrible job with the demo, no trailer, no dante, no upgrade element that the game features heavily, they gave us a bare-bones new game level 1 nero that's locked on dumbass easy mode.
Luckily the game's core mechanics made up for the idiocy that is Capcom USA, or whoever is invovled with putting the demo together.

Well if you remember, in DMC1, the easy automatic mode was missing way too much of the game. For example, fetishes and frosts were completely removed from the campaigne. And a lot of the really good shadow battles were replaced with the regular puppet fodder. Ever since then I vowed never to play a game on easy ever again. I missed out on way too much. So I really recommend to persevere and go through with the devil hunter mode, just so you can enjoy the game in all the glory that was intended.
