Rev:
Left Trigger (press repeatedly)
While reved up:
Right B + Foward + Y
Right B + Back + Y
Just - REV (instant rev up)
Y (tap Left Trigger at the right time) ......
Try just-revving, it's hard, kind of like the jsut-frames in tekken, but it allows you to instantly rev up with one press after a sword strike
also,
you can charge up blue rose (press and hold X )

OK so very first time with a DMC game and I was expecting more, but heres my initial impressions from the demo which im sure will change with more time as DMC gets so much love.
The graphics are great close up n the cut scenes but out side of that they are clean and crisp but nothing to write home about. (Lack of environmental effects etc.) Animations seem nice and smooth tho.
The camera seems clanky, confined and stiff I thought it would be freer and loose.
I wasnt expecting the old school locked doors and room mechanic at all, what a blast from the past super old school. & ended up just using the map in some places to get from A to B.
The enemys were super generic for a hack & slasher and the combat seemed pretty basic, arm grab/throw, slash sword and shoot. Sure that must open up more had fun keeping an enemy in the air with my gun tho.
The music hahah!
The time limit is bullshit, why? and the bumper will be the trigger for me when I pick this up as it was fun and havnt played good hack and slash game since Conan, and Im expecting good things from the story, will need a catch up before I play.

Awesome. Fucking awesome. The fire boss fucked me up at first but I think Ive got it now. Nero is a badass, I love grabbing bitches then slamming them to the ground right before I land and slash bitches back to the stone age.
Hate the gun though, it doesn't feel right not having two.

Thats what dmc games are about arnt they the cheese hehe.
The right bumper doesn't really bother me, but maybe that's because I didn't play DMC 1-3, so maybe I'm not acclimated to a certain feel? Either way, yeah, it felt a bit easy, but it'll probably get bumped up for the retail version.
In any case, it was fun. I'm definitely gonna pick it up next month.

Just DLed. Pretty sick. Graphics are supurb. Some great detail that doesn't come at the expense of speed. That Scorpion mechanic is nice. "Get over here!" I think I wanted to shout a few times. 
That Right bumper is a travesty though.
That Right bumper is a travesty though.Not really. It works great. Just had to jump in with all the other bitchers though. Don't want to feel left out.

This will be fun.
So, my first time playing a DMC, I have no clue what I am doing, but I am having fun.
Played both versions. Looks slightly better on the PS3 in terms of clarity and image quality, but that's probably because my PS3 is hooked up via HDMI and my 360 is hooked up via component.
Playing on the SIXAXIS is a dream, though, while the 360 version is a bit cumbersome due to the right bumper
Also, I like the feel of the SIXAXIS buttons over the 360 buttons. Easier to mash. Better for action games like this.
Overall, image quality is good, runs at 60 fps with no slowdown, but there's nothing genuinely mindblowing about the graphics. They're good, but they do have a hint of last-gen, so coming off a graphical orgasm like Uncharted may make DMC4 look a bit dated. Though, again, perfect image quality, no jaggies, no screen tearing, etc.

Wow. Visually amazing. Once I got the hang of the controls it was a shitload of fun. The only real problem is the camera occasionally. Other than that, absolute Day One.

Same here!
So have like 3 different sword strings to do while on the ground.Gowans007 said:
You can do: /\ tap 2 times
/\, /\, pause, tap /\ until completion
/\, pause, tap /\ until completion
I recommend starting off with the 2nd combo string, then going into High Roller. That's the move which is R1+Left Analog stick Back+/\. When you do it like that, the enemy is thrown in the air. When you HOLD DOWN /\ you rise up with the enemy.
When you rise up with the enemy, that's when you have MORE options. The thing to do then is to shoot while in the air (3-4 shots) and quickly slash 3 times. The last slash will cause the enemy to go down to the floor.
As soon as he hits the floor, perform Snatch to bring him back up. Do 2 aerial slashes, finish up off with Buster (O) which will cause the enemy to smack back on the ground. While in the air follow up with a Helm Breaker (Forward+R1+/\) which will cause a vertical slice to occur and cause you to come to floor as well. The enemy will fly away, perform Snatch again to bring him back, then follow up with any other move you want.
This is BASE LEVEL combos in the game, not even including something like a jump cancel. The Exceed mechanic requires just frame timings to actually use properly in combos. As soon as I get home I will write up some better stuff you can do as soon as infer some information with the pros.

If you have both consoles, get the PS3 version.

What is /\?
I never honestly thought I'd say this, but I actually preferred the 360 controller to the sixaxis. I'm in shock here. While the 360 RB drove me absolutely crazy in games like Mass Effect where I had to hold it down, it seems to just work in DMC4.
Image quality wise, there's so little in it that folks that buy the game on either console will be impressed.
Question; anyone know how the load times in the demo compare to the final 360 version? I know that it uses a cache on the hard drive to speed up load times. It'd just be nice to know what they're like in the final game compared to the demo.
