Yeah, on the latest 1Up Show (first time seeing it) they play a clip of DMC4 in which Nero instant revs 3 bars at once. I had to see it two times to make sure :lol. But anyways, is it that hard to pull off?

I got a few questions Bebpo. If you don't mind:
1. Do proud souls make purchasing things more difficult than in the previous games?
2. How did you like Pandora's Box? Was it difficult to use? Did you ever use it on bosses?
3. How does Nero use the
4. How do you feel about not leveling your styles anymore. Is it better to have the player just buy the next level? Or did you prefer leveling it yourself.
Finally, Is LDK mode in the game?

Yamato? Does he only use it during DT? Or can he switch to it?

Well it's actually easier because you can refund what you've bought at anytime and the souls go back into the pool. But it's basically impossible to buy everything in 1 run or more because the higher stuff is ridiculously expensive after inflation from buying other things. Plus you can't farm.
My main dislike about the system is there is little reward for getting high combo ranks each battle. In the old ones you did it because you wanted more orbs as a reward and then you could use them and buy more moves. Now it just helps your overall grade at the end of a level which gives you more proud souls.
It's awesome. It's probably my favorite gun outside the standard pistol/shotgun in a DMC game. I did use it on bosses and it's great in Bloody Palace in those small rooms with the final attack.
Really just a plot point and not that much related to gameplay. The DT does use it and you can buy two DT charge moves, but it's mainly a graphical effect going on while you're attacking and not like the real thing.
There's just no time for it in Dante's game. He jumps straight into the action and you blow through his levels real quick and its just boss after another. I thought it was fine for the situation. I didn't even bother going with level 3s, since I didn't have enough proud souls. I just did lvl.2 trickster/gunslinger/sword and it still gave a good amount of stuff to work with (I'm not a royal guard player).
I dunno, I just unlocked the next difficulty, art galleries, bloody palace.

Can you adjust the brightness and contrast in the final game?
Bebpo, does Dante's Dark Slayer style include everything from Vergil in DMC3SE? I'm talking about Summon Swords (and all of it's moves, the Yamato (and all of it's moves).
As a huge Vergil fan/player, am I going to love DS in this or does it pale in comparison to being able to use the regular 4 styles at the same time? I know that with DS you can practically use 4 weapons at once, right?

I asked because the PS3 demo is far too dark for viewing -- and if I turn up the brightness on my TV, all of my other games start to look washed-out...

I am so sick of looking at this:
Here is some Bloody Palace gameplay as Nero. The ending is pretty funny lol

And heres some Dante. Dark Slayer is pretty underwhelming :/

I did not see that ending coming :lol intentional or not it was damn awesome.Kyoufu said:
Yes it most certainly is. However every thing else was ACE! Dante's move set is fucking awesome.Kyoufu said:
I'm quite impressed by how aggressive the enemies are in bloody palace. Very impressed.
Kyoufu said:
Where did you get that ? I really really hope the game explain something about Nero but there is none. The closest thing to Nelo Angelo is the angel armor who has the name something follow by angelo.
USD said:
Yeah, that's suck. DMC4 is only to introduce the new main character without clear explaination about him. Fortunately the game itself is good and fun enough to make me forget about the story for a period.
gconsole said:
spoilers if you havent played the game, dont read...
The story doesn't give any background info on Nero's origins, so I'm just going by what we're given. The Order created the "Angelo" demons using Nelo Angelo's soul. Nero is part of those Angelo demons, and just happens to have the same name as Nelo Angelo (Nero Angelo is the correct translation). It doesn't explain how he has the blood of Sparda though. Capcom fails.
Kyoufu said:
Hmm, yeah the one problem with BP being timed is that I'm not entirely sure the enemies have been balanced for both characters. The shadow cape guys go down FAST with Nero, but Dante has no trick to take them out super fast that I've found yet, and like the poster in thel last page said, the eletric lizard guys are more built around Dante's guns and not really made for Nero.

Took me 10 and that was getting an S-rank on time in most stages, though I got lost on a few and got C-rank on time.
A few people said 16 hours. That does seem quite a big difference considering it's a linear game of 20 missions and the A/S-ranking for each is like 20 mins or less.
ElyrionX said:
I don't think it's actually an aggressive thing. In DMC3 I don't remember the normal enemies being all that aggressive and in DMC4 half the enemies aren't, but half like the knights are.
The main difference IMO is the damage scaling. You can take A LOT of hits in DMC4. I don't remember being able to do that in DMC3. Plus like you said there are green orbs a plenty. Also the boss patterns are slower with bigger room and timing windows to avoid the attacks. The hardest fight is probably
Nero v. Dante
Oh, and something I want to bitch about is the way the proud soul system works. You get a certain amount of proud souls at the end of every mission depending on how well you do during the mission. However, it's just frustrating because the first time you're going through the mission, you tend to do poorly on the amount of time you took to complete it because the puzzles and paths you're supposed to take just aren't intuitive at all. It's a lot of trial and error because the game does a poor job of telling you where to go next. That totally kills your ranking at the end of the mission and you get less proud souls because of that.

That's news to me.
Something else I need to know. Does Dante and Nero share red, blue and DT orbs? For example, I've already bought three blue orbs for Nero and expanded his health bar. If my the game switches to Dante, will Dante have the expanded healthb as well? Or do I have to refarm red orbs and repurchase everything again for him?
