>do you play in a particular way

I use Royal Guard and never style switch. Fight me.

>>15026740

>>15026749

I am hoping the art gets more abundant over time, she is growing on me but not for the good reasons.

>>15026748

Yeah, when it comes to Dante I can't do quick switches either so I have to alternate the styles with some pauses maybe, on the other hand I wanted to mod the game's music to put Devil Trigger as Nero's battle theme, sadly in vanilla DMC4 it doesn't loop properly and DMC4SE has its music files encrypted, you can use an alternate music loader but apparently it also doesn't support embedded loops on the files.

Have any of you niggers considered that maybe Nico is another disguise like Trish/Gloria? Maybe it's a fucking trap, and no I am not suggesting that she's got a benis.

If you drew this skank in an attractive manner, would she just be Bayonetta?

>>15026780

Some people have reportedly said they can play with keyboard, I would be completely unable to do that though, in my case I have both a 360 and PS4 controller.

>>15026734

Why is she holding the cigerette with the lit end inwards?

>>15026791

>>15026797

I don't think that's the case, I am kind curious about her role in the game's plot, to be fair she would be kind of adorkable for me if it weren't for the smoking, tattoos and dark nails.

>>15026788

>>15026798

fug.

>>15026808

>>15026780

Where'd my post go?

Did the Alacrity demon steal it away?

>>15026806

You are right, I can't imagine a safe way to safely put it on your mouth after that.

>>15026814

Did you post Bateman? looks like he left the thread.

>>15026806

come closer, i tell you secret as to why, you see is bad drawing

>>15026788

Not that its a feat or anything but I did beat dmc3 and 4 on a keyboard.

My friend was so much into dmc3 at the time he even beat bloody palace with Vergil on a keyboard.

>>15026829

Maybe that was the author's intent?

>>15026837

Reverse image search shows it was posted on twitter, so probably not.

>>15026870

Next time read the title.

>>15026870

third pic is B^U tier.

>>15026896

playing and getting good at dmc4 with a keyboard is going to be as difficult and effective as learning to ride a bike with one leg. You'd have a much easier and more enjoyable time with the right equipment.

>>15026896

>>15026905

I'm more worried about handing it without a joystick of some sort. I'd definitely want to at least try it out with a keyboard.

H-haha. Please stop deleting shitposts, it's not hurting anyone. It's why a lot of us migrated from cuckchan all those years ago.

>>15026911

Banter is fine, but dubs spamming is not.

>>15026896

Look I use Keyboard and mouse for most games but sometimes you just have to accept its a pile of shit for certain types of games. Such as fighting games, platformers and character action games.

>>15026932

but muh mouse control muhfugga

>>15026829

shit source material + cal arts = abomination.

>>15026932

How the fuck is keyboard bad for fighting games?

>>15026932

>>15026905

>webm of keyboard combo beyond the level of anyone in this thread

>meanwhile high level pad players have to hold it back-to-front in order to hit the buttons fast enough

<keyboard is shit for these games just accept it

Some """people""" don't deserve good games.

If you guys want to try an emulate a mutant that can play these games on keyboards all the power to you guys but don't come crying to me when your fingers fall off and you can't wank anymore.

>>15026932

>KB is bad for fightan

Wrong, it's better than gamepad actually.

>>15026734

It comes down to what you're trying to do and which character you're using. If you just want to get S ranks you don't even need to be that good, just exploit the AI and use the most overpowered attacks there are good videos on YT in how to do such a thing.

Now if you really want to get good and be flashy you have to learn how to jump cancel, there are not 2 ways about it. Once you've managed to stay in the air for more than 5 seconds then you need to practice character specific moves and combos.

With regards to Max Act you don't really need to do it with every attack but you should be consistent with it at certain attacks like high roller, streak and split

I embed a ChaserTech video, he has decent tutorials that cover the basics for Dante, Nero and Vergil

With Dante, the sky is the limit but for starters make Trickster your main style and practice combos with it by switching between Trickster and Sword Master then add another style, practice and then add another style. He will take a while

Donguri990 is the flashiest Dante/Vergil I've seen on YT

>>15026905

>>15026911

>>15026932

I see it as a fun, self-imposed challenge if you feel the need to take it to a higher level. I thought it would be fun to try it out for myself to see how far I could go, but I quickly realized I personally wasn't good enough to do it. If you want to use the keyboard go ahead, but don't feel like you have to play it that way only if you really wanted to should you go for it.

>>15026932

I'm better at fighting games with a keyboard then I am with a controller.

>>15026967

depending how you map it it's effectively a hitbox but save for super mega high level execution it kinda boils down to personal preference

>>15027008

-t. guy who uses the analog sticks instead of a d-pad

>>15027012

Your thumbs and moving them independently is slower than using 4 fingers in each hand.

Welp, I finally finished Mission 02 in LDK after some weird problems with my PC, at least now I have almost all the abilities now, the advantage if having hordes of enemies is the amount of Proud Souls you get from each encounter.

>>15027060

d-pad is faster due to shorter travel time of the contact pad and a good d-pad (unlike what you're used to 360 pad shitter) is where it gets better. Now is where you say "muh hitbox." It's not a keyboard, it's a hitbox.

>>15026806

She faces the back of the hand/fingers to her mouth to smoke it. It's more convenient to shake off ashes, but it's still awkward.

>>15027684

>d-pad is faster due to shorter travel time of the contact pad

No, it's not

It's about the same speed considering you're only using one finger on binds with around the same spacing as key prompts.

It's about the same travel time if not faster on a KB

>360 ad hominem

And just like that you lost all youd credibility

>>15026905

Holy fuck you're retarded

>>15030798

If you ignore the design portion of DMC5 it's basically everything we've been asking for down to the story details of Nero being taken under Dante's wing and working for Devil May Cry. Honestly, the only thing I'm worried about now is that I haven't seen a graphic for locking on.

RE2 isn't what we wanted, but it looks closer to 3.5 so I don't really hate it so far, and some of the moments genuinely look spooky for how generic zombies have become.

Can't speak on MHW as I haven't gotten around to playing the series.

All and all I'm hopeful. Not enough to get hype, but enough to give them some benefit of the doubt. Also, I don't know where I read it, but I believe there was also an interview where they said they wouldn't be focusing to much on the DLC with these new games, but that could be wrong or an outright lie considering SFV

>>15026905

<waah I have the finger dexterity of a senile WWII veteran

It's okay to be shit at games anon, you just have to admit it

If my autistic ass can beat DMD and HaH with keyboard I'm pretty sure anyone in this thread can if they put some fucking spine into it

>>15030864

>I heard MHW DLC content microtransactions let's not pretend like they're anything else including the cosmetics on other Japanese games

You have to buy vouchers to change your character's appearence.

Considering we went from "All DLC is free, even cosmetics" to "Cosmetics cost more than the game and you need to buy vouchers to edit your savefile so you can fix your mistake of picking a dude" and having timed events because of the games as a service meme, MHW is a bloody disgrace for a Monster Hunter game.

>>15030862

I don't really mind it so much since it wasn't really established that he was a white character or a black one. The anime isn't canon, so I'm fine with the major redesign to Morrison. What I AM salty about is that this retcon's Patty.

>>15030899

I mean Nico's design could just be intentionally flawed, like I get what they're going for with her. She's a greasy hick mechanic, who works on devil arms. Have you ever seen a mechanic? none of them ever look like Cidney. Ultimately what matters is gameplay and what DOES concern me is the lack of a visual lock on indicator, however we haven't seen ANY UI either, so that's probably why.

>>15030864

>Fug, I need some sleep

Or perhaps you were wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.

>>15030924

>>15030924

>All I want right now from RE is a game where you have to escape from an Hive like evil lab.

You cant have that because those are not RE aesthetics at all, thats a fabrication of the movies much like everything else save for jill, carlos, racoon city and other things.

>>15030958

I think my biggest issue with Nero is the color choice in his clothes. The whole point of the blue and red was to make him easy to see in combat, same with Dante having a solid red jacket… though I suppose in Ninja Gaiden I didn't really have much trouble keeping track of Ryu so maybe it really doesn't matter that much.

>>15030958

Because the anime never existed in the official canon, therefore Patty never existed.

>>15030954

>those are not RE aesthetics at all

:^)

>>15030958

>Nero's design is great,

kys faggot

>>15030989

Thanks for proving me right, since 4 doesnt fit at all with the rest of the series, and they lifted that scene directly from the movies.

>>15030935

>Ultimately what matters is gameplay and what DOES concern me is the lack of a visual lock on indicator

If you watch the gameplay released and consider the moves being used there's almost certainly a hard lock on in the game. They show Nero using a basic Red Queen Combo in the cinematic trailer, and they also show him using High Roller in the other footage. I suppose they could have completely reconfigured the controls DmC style and given him a dedicated launch button, but it doesn't make much sense to port over the DMC4 moveset and then use a different control scheme.

>>15030954

>thas nod re asthsthsit at all

>what is the entire final area of Resident Evil(1996)

>>15031119

Yeah, I think it's reasonable to say that we need to see more of the game before we have a clear consensus. DMC3 and DMC4 also had these gothic arena's, I could see DMC5 given more color as more information of the game comes to pass.

Gene as an unlockable character would make my dick hard though

>>15026788

The fuck is with you anons?

I beat DMC3 on a keyboard never switching from the trickster style. Yes, I've even beat that one place where you need to accurately parkour under the ceiling, and if you fail - you start from the beginning.

I can't understand how people complain about using keyboards in vidya. I play everything with it, even the stuff I emulate (like Godhand or Armored Core series).

When I tried to use a gamepad for some games I was much worse at them and barely got used for it

>>15031230

>used to it

I really need to learn checking my posts before I post them

>>15031057

A rundown laboratory with a giant fishtank, shit fallling apart and a fucking jailcell.

Same with zero and 2 and 7.

The nicest lab weve seen is the antartic laboratory in code veronica, and it looks nothing like the hive of the movies.

>>15031230

>Yes, I've even beat that one place where you need to accurately parkour under the ceiling

What, Mission 15? Trickster's the most consistent way to get through there by far. The hardest platforming in the game is probably Secret Mission 12.

>>15031256

>a giant fishtank

Isn't that more in the midgame, the part with Plant 42?

>>15031353

>Isn't that more in the midgame, the part with Plant 42?

For me all the underground sections of the spencer state are just lab.

I think Nico may be what some Japanese refer as "busu-kawaii" google it up.

>>15031533

>Probably impossible to do it and leave her recognizable.

lower the gumline, give her a less ratty haircut and you probably solved her biggest problem

>>15031831

>google it up

The image results are all wall-eyed 3DPD, which does not stir my optimism for the character. I think a lot of the mystery will dissolve when they show whoever the hell did the face capture for that character, the DMC3 and 4 mocap actors were cute enough.

>>15031863

Well, in general is supposed to have a small charm in an otherwise weird look.

>>15032006

Right-hand claw grips I think are uncommon since you'll hardly touch the right analog stick anyway, although I've seen a lot of left-hand claw grips in DMC4 for style-switching. I'll use a six-finger grip for sure, but I'll take slightly slower style switching over carpal tunnel.

>>15032006

That looks fucking retarded. If you use a pad like like your a Jew.

>>15032450

Why are you bringing up Monster Hunter in a thread about good action games?

>>15032450

I played older monster hunters and I didn't claw. Instead, I just didn't move the camera as much.

>>15032006

>not using the part of your thumb connecting to your hand for the thumbstick and your thumb for the buttons

Most of the time you don't really need precision control for the camera. Your grip looks way too awkward for an index finger.

>>15044873

>2/10 effort for Dante's appearance

Sure tells you which games the artist played.

https://exhentai.org/g/181009/1f3471aed1/

>>15044892

You ain't crazy enough.

In all honesty the game is kinda stiff, you gotta get used to it. If you're playing on PC use DDMK for HD collection or Style Switcher for vanilla

>>15030924

>All I want right now from RE is a game where you have to escape from an Hive like evil lab.

>I don't know what the first movie did so well but goddamn I just like the setting, from the squeaky clean white lab and office parts to the rusted industrial and computer parts of the complex.

>Seriously, just give me a game where I have to go in and out of the complex and survive countless zombies and monsters in these detailed settings as a Gas Mask clad soldier ala Hunk.

>I don't even know how many times I replayed the Redqueen/Hive maps in Zombies Master and Killing Floor.

I remember Killing Floor had a map where you go into the Hive and Zombie Panic source had a map where you had to escape form the Hive. People played the ZPS 24/7 and got tired of it though. The KF one I remember was spooky as fuck, but people rarely played it because it was closer to classic RE in terms of limited ammo and fighting zombies, than KF's "Mow down 200 zombies every round"

>>15044984

>Was a non-DMC title, with Lucia as the protagonist.

I have heard that but never found a source to it. Goddamn Capcom they'll make something like five different Resident Evil 4's before finally deciding which one to actually make but shove shit like DMC2 out the door. Chaos Legion a superior DMC2 and I really can see this mysterious third DMC5 character playing a lot like Sieg from Chaos Legion now.

>>15045073

H here

Why did they go back to the shitty enemies after the triumph that was DMC3s enemy design? Temen ni gru is staffed by badass skeletons with scythes. Every other game has the dumb puppet demons.

>>15045073

Where are the first three?

>>15045073

Where's A B and C?

>>15045073

Smoking is for queers, it kills your lungs when you could just orally ingest shit.

>>15044984

That's not really what we mean by "Escape the Hive". The Hive is infested with zombies and mutants, not swat members trying to shut it down. Everyone in the Hive has been dead for god knows how long.

>>15045146

>when a fallen opens his arms his chest and arms make it look like a demonic face

Fuck I love that enemy design.

>>15045192

They looked like weird twig monsters in the trailer, at least to me. Let's hope we'll see some more gameplay soon.

>>15044994

There's nothing mysterious about him, it's Vergil, his name in the pamphlet from E3 is "V" even.

>>15045263

A lot of people have been saying it's Lady's kid/Arkham's grandkid because of the effect on the arms but I still want to believe it's Demifiend as stupid as that theory is.

>>15045279

>I still want to believe it's Demifiend as stupid as that theory is.

I've seen suggestions of Demifiend, Gene, and Bayonetta, and I'd prefer any of those to whatever OC character they might introduce.

>>15045293

>Gene

As awesome as that would be I'd much rather just have a new God Hand.

>Bayonetta

That's a horrible idea besides the fact that's clearly a man's figure in the promo art, there's no way you could have both Bayonetta and Dante in the same game without making one look more powerful or capable than the other and just pissing off one half of the fanbase. Also quite honestly as paperthin as the writing is in DMC Bayonetta is even less nuanced as a character in my opinion and wouldn't work in something like this.

>>15045347

He probably is a new character I just wanted to believe.

>>15045367

My bet is the DMC4 Pachinko shit they made.

>>15045347

Plot-wise it makes perfect sense.

>demons invade

>Nocturne TDE has Demi-Fiend join the ranks of demons

Financial-wise it would make sense ONLY and ONLY if Atlus and Capcom had a non-zero amount of interaction lately. Technically, Capcom is doing failures after failures right now - Pachinko slots that target gamer demographic don't attract it and DmC was a failure. They would really like to get in with someone that looks like they know what they're doing and Atlus managed to sell P3 remaster, P4 remaster, a bunch of dance games and two separate releases of P4 fighting games. On top of that, Atlus partnered with Capcom already. Putting Demifiend in is exactly the type of move a clueless person at the top could make right now based on the present conditions, but without the assessment of the industry.

>>15045616

To add to that, adding Demifiend in would allow Atlus to try to sell another Nocturne remaster, this time ported to the new hardware. At this point, they're running out of franchises to sell, so capitalizing on this kind of a meme would be a good move to make.

Guys help, I can't get Devil Trigger out of my head.

>>15044941

>best Dante design but not personality

I like to think that the reason Dante acted like he did in DMC2 was that he ate some bad pizza the night before and had to deal with a stomach ache, making him get super lazy.

>>15045759

ALL OF THESE VOICES INSIDE OF MY HEAD

:^)

Anyone know how the PS3 HD collection is compared to the PC versions of DMC 1 & 3? Was thinking of getting the PC version but heard that has some issues.

>>15046716

>PC version issues

Really? What are they?

>>15046716

>Was thinking of getting the PC version but heard that has some issues.

I just finished DMC1 in the collection a few minutes ago and didn't experience any of the audio or antialiasing bugs I had heard about, so they may have been patched. The most noticeable visual difference between the PS3 and PC versions I noticed was the low-sample / totally absent motion blur effect.

>>15046722

Here

>>15045155

Yes, check it out. Seriously, don't look into the game on youtube, just trust me on that. The SWAT only shows up like in the last fifth of the game.

>>15052354

That was discovered minutes after the trailer, Neil Goldstein was an established character

>>15052384

Hey fuck you buddy, acknowledge that I am tied for top faggot

>>15052354

>merchant character that's constantly asking you for money is named (((Goldstein)))

OY VEY THIS GAME IS PROBLEMATIC

Yo, how the fuck am I supposed to play Lady? Her style is totally different and it's baffling me.

>>15057135

>Gonna go out on a limb here and say egghead is claiming credit for someone else's work.

I think he's just confirming that the concept art is of Vergil.

>>15058984

>Was trying to upsell her goods to US army soldier in trailer.

>>15059641

Lady is really easy to be OP with, her Charge shots destroy everything.

Want to kill a boss, shotgun, Charge shot level 3 , jump cancel and fire over and over again.

>>15059669

I've already figured out that the shotgun is the Great Destroyer, but I don't want to be just OP, I want to be stylish and OP. It seems like her melee attacks are useless and her rocket launcher takes too long charging up to be of use too.

>>15060671

>>15045246

>>15045263

If Capcom are crazy enough, that mystery character might be demi-fiend with some stupid modern redesign.

Then again, maybe it's Noctis.

**i don't hate Nico*"

>>15061057

I'm still praying for Demifiend but he's probably a new character.

>>15061072

I don't like her face actress but the trailer trash/Southern accent has been a fetish of mine before I even knew what fetishes were which is batshit because I'm not even from the States

>>15061124

>as well as possibly

co-op as Dante and Virgil in the campaign. Forgot to finish my thought as I grabbed the MP4.

>>15061150

But Nero does look like Donte

>>15061138

>Where the hell did the demi-fiend theory ever come from?

He's got black hair and has been called a "summoner" character that and he has no weapon on him in the render. Also it'd be fun to see Demifiend in Dante's game years after Dante was in Demifiend's.

>You'd think if it was the case, they'd show him off at E3 as well, announcing their second partnership with Atlus in the process.

Why? Normalfags wouldn't know who he is and everyone else only knows Personashit now. I think next we'll get a Dante-centric trailer and then have a tease of V at the end of it much like Dante was teased at the end of Nero's trailer.

Also bare with me here but DMC5's been in production since Dragons Dogma wrapped right? Isn't that around the same time SMT IV got released and Kaneko left ATLUS? He was credited on SMT IV as "creative advisor" or something like that. So what if he's been with Itsuno and co this whole time helping out?

>>15061157

But he doesn't retard. I remember someone posting a shopped image of 5 Nero with 4 Nero's hairstyle a while back if anyone has it that'd be appreciated because it looks just like him.

>>15061192

>He's got black hair and has been called a "summoner" character that and he has no weapon on him in the render.

That's making me think more like Bayonetta summoning demons for finishers and Umbran Climaxs or JoJo with stands. Game where Dante fights SMT demons when?

>Isn't that around the same time SMT IV got released and Kaneko left ATLUS?

Kaneko didn't leave Atlus. He did the story for SMT4A. Interestingly, he was also credited for DMC4SE for "Packaging Illustrator", whatever the hell that means. Maybe for originally designing Vergil's DT?

>>15032006

Grips like that only shine in games like CoD. It's not intuitive for something that makes more use of face buttons.

What's that thing in the OP supposed to be?

>>15061247

Tumblr version of the new DMC 5 girl.

>>15052354

You could not write it.

Only [redacted] will defend this.

>>15061138

Another reason for me to believe V might be female is Devil Trigger the song. For one is sang for the most part by a female which is a first for the games and the lyrics speak about someone embracing dark and power and letting it out and this can't be one of the MCs up to this point because all of them have embraced their demonic heritage by now.

Whatever the case "V" is clearly not Vergil.

Another theory I've seen floating around is that since V is implied to have demonic powers (half demon) and probably not related by blood to Dante/Vergil, V might actually be the child of Bradley and Angelina, the demon-human couple that appear on the anime, this supported by the fact that they brought Morrison from the anime aswell.

>>15063201

>Journos think Devil May Cry and Bayonetta are the same universe.

Well there's at least one shared character, but Bayonetta isn't a Capcom game.

>>15063201

>Devil May Cry and Bayonetta are the same universe

Well it's hinted at that they are outside of the games.

What you mean to say is: they think DMC and Bayonetta are made by the same people.

>>15046753

>>15046753

>>15063374

>>15063481

From what i'v heard, The main reason the HD collection for DMC1 is a little off, is because they didn't have the gold finished version of the game, they had all of the individual pieces, but not all of them them compiled together, so they basically had to put the game together like a jigsaw puzzle.

>>15063688

>Watch a show about a man being fucked over by woman and deal with deb

Best episode is the one where he finds another copy of his fav record and is killing demons while jamming to it.

"Microsoft conducted an interview with Itsuno and a couple of his cohorts. The interview has a bunch of new info. I'm surprised nobody made mention of it on here.

The interview is on Mixer (starts around 3:53): https://mixer.com/Xbox?vod=38224649

* The black guy smoking a cigar at the beginning of the Trailer is Morrison, from the DMC anime

* When the Capcom's higher ups approached Itsuno about making DMC5, they told him that people needed to recognize it as a high quality game with just a glance. That's the reason why they chose the RE Engine and the photo-realistic approach

* All the faces are scanned into the game, using European models

* The crux of the story will center around the demon tree and the demonic invasion of Redgrave City

* The demonic monster appearing near the start is a going to be a major villain. He's 26 feet tall

* As per the DMC4 novelization, Dante handed Nero the store's neon sign to open up his own DMC shop

* All of the footage is rendered in engine

* The van is the actual office of Devil May Cry

* The van has a fully rendered reception area inside

* Nico is Nero's partner in crime

* Itsuno made sure to bring as many of the staff who worked on DMC3 and 4 into the development of DMC5

* Yuji Shimomura (DMC3, DMC4, Onimusha 3, Bayonetta) is returning as the cutscene director/stunt coordinator

* As a part of the team's attention to details, Nero's mechanical arms (named the Devil Breakers) will deteriorate and break with usage. You will notice Nero replacing his Devil Breaker using the receptacle holstered on his waist. Not sure if this will have any gameplay implications

* During the game, you will unlock a multitude of Devil Breakers, each with their unique functions, and will be able to swap between them

* Nero's jacked was made in Europe first before being scanned into the game's engine, which is why it looks very realistic

* More info about the game, and about the Devil Breakers specifically, will be revealed at Gamescom

* The music video for the song "Devil Trigger" contains hints for the third mysterious playable character"

He's classically bipolar; in his downtime he's pretty depressed and dour because most of his family is still dead and there's really nothing to do, all he really lives for is the thrill and rush of a good fight. But when it comes time for a fight, his mania kicks in and he's all grinning and bad jokes. But there he's got the problem that he's just way too fucking powerful, too. Like, even when he's fighting Sid and been impaled again, he's a lot more energetic than when you for example watch him interact with his friends or colleagues.

DMC4 even shows it in the intro cutscene; at first he's just kind of "eh, what the fuck is this place even. Lady keeps giving me weird jobs, where the fuck is Trish and my sword? Oh there's that kid I saw running through the streets—" and then he gets drop-kicked in the face.

Like, for the first few exchanges with Nero after that, he's like "Oh, huh. This is kinda groovy." and by the time Nero gets a sword, Dante is already feeling kinda playful, as seen when he does the vroom vroom with Rebellion to mess with Nero.

Like, for the rest of the game, Dante is just riding off of that high, of finding his fucking nephew and getting to have some proper fun for the first time in ages.

How the fuck do you do critical hits against the sin scissors in dmc1?

I tried shotgunning and air raiding so fucking hard to hit the mask and maybe I'm not getting it.

>>15072529

What are you trying to do?

>>15072529

They have to take a full shotgun blast directly to the mask while staggered. Hit their scissors with the sword to stagger them and then walk to the left and blast them with the shotgun before they recover. Devil Trigger almost ensures the damage will one-shot them. It's not the kind of thing I ever would have figured out if I hadn't read how to do it.

>>15072537

Secret Mission 1, probably

>>15061150

I've never played a DMC game and maybe seen about an hours worth of a speedrun of DMC4 and I knew that it was Nero when I watched the DMC5 trailer.

How the fuck do these hacks still have these jobs?

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>15063688

Dante's mother got murdered and he killed his own brother TWICE (or thought he did). His shit talking always grinning persona is just that a persona he puts on when he deasl with other people or fighting demons. Dante is not a happy person inside.

>>15070732

I would imagine it would be local co-op, he's not going to bother trying to set up netplay. Probably.

What other details have been retconned post-DMC1? Like Sparda died of old age right? Kamiya said Dante is subject to human lifespans but is nearly immortal if he chooses to stay in demon form-Implying Sparda remained as a demon during his 2,000 year reign before taking on a human body for Eva.

In 3 he left the Force Edge that grants other his form and most of his power in hell to keep other demons from invading along with sacrificing a priestess, but I'm not sure if it happened immediately after betraying Mundus 2 millenia ago or more recently given the previous information about aging.

So you're the one who used the monkey's paw then? Thanks a lot dickhead.

His office looks a lot nicer in the mobile game and it kind of implies Trish lives there, too.

>>15090560

>hate to

have to, sorry

>>15072298

Why would they keep a third character so under wraps like this unless he's someone actually important or existed previously?

>>15090560

In the novel that might not be canon anymore that is set right before DMC2, he went into a parallel world and had to kill that place's Trish because she was still evil, too.

So yeah, he's kinda had it rough.

>>15090611

>Neat cliche anime-tier intro

>"Sure. I'll be waiting for you to play Devil May Cry X Pach-"

Why the

FUCK

do they think this is good marketing?

>>15090611

Devil May Cry animated movie when

>>15090680

Such a fucking weak excuse. Sick and tired of games doing this corny shit, can I get a game where the protagonist or second characters are pro-active instead of being the way they are because of circumstances.

>>15090818

Art imitates life, anon. A lot of people are the way they are because of what they experienced in the past and what they got out of it- Dante and Vergil both suffered the same trauma, but they cope with it in different ways.

>>15090818

Because in stories a narrative continuity is usually a strong basis. Like having Dante and Vergil be opposites in everything, from their appearance to fighting styles to even their ideology is what makes their relationship what it is.

Vergil literally slicks back his hair to look different from Dante, so from the point of view of character design, giving him just a stand alone motivation is kind of weird.

>>15090217

The company should be called Devil Never Cry post-DMC1, right?

HEY HONEY

>ur dum lol baited!

Back on track though. If Nero had his arm removed and with that his DT, what would that mean for him in terms of fighting ability?

In the trailer you can see him double jump while doing air combos, so he definitely still has some abilities that are superhuman left.

>>15090955

I meant that with his arm Yamato is gone.

It was like a catalyst for him to manifest his soul as DT. Unless he actually learned to control his DT, which is unlikely since he still had his arm stuck in demon form, I doubt he'll have a full blown DT now.

At best he can probably squeeze out some of his soul without Yamato.

Maybe uncle Dante will stab him with something to awaken his actual DT like Vergil did with him.

>>15090966

It'll probably show up at the mid-point of the game again, like it pretty much always has. Hopefully they bring back the DT customization from DMC2, too.

>>15090868

>Art imitates life, anon. A lot of people are the way they are because of what they experienced in the past and what they got out of it- Dante and Vergil both suffered the same trauma, but they cope with it in different ways.

Yet in life there exists people who are self aware, who are able to distinguished what society and their parents has taught them and decide to create himself from scratch based on his own personal philosophy that is attuned to his nature. It being common doesn't excuse the fact that we can and should evolve.

>>15090874

>Because in stories a narrative continuity is usually a strong basis.

I know and I agree with this, I am not against continuity, just the premise.

>Like having Dante and Vergil be opposites in everything, from their appearance to fighting styles to even their ideology is what makes their relationship what it is.

Yes, I am quite well aware of what a pro and antagonist are, I have even heard of a triagonist which I don't think any video game or media has done.

>Vergil literally slicks back his hair to look different from Dante, so from the point of view of character design, giving him just a stand alone motivation is kind of weird.

I don't oppose it, just oppose the reaction. It should have been done to their nature, Vergil feels like he has no autonomy.

>>15090980

>Vergil feels like he has no autonomy

Can't that itself be a character trait?

Isn't that what caused him to lose to Dante and retreat into the demon world to face Mundus alone regardless?

Even if you take "generic" and archetypal traits, you can still make a good character out of that, which I think Vergil is.

>>15090818

Maybe you meant you want characters not being molded by traumatic events in the past. Everyone's the way they are because of circumstances.

Man, the god of soy director is going to look stupid once DMC5 drops and reminds everyone how action games should be done

>>15046753

Got a torrent for the latest version? I don't know if fitgirl's is the lastest version

>>15090948

It will come down to how they explain the origins of Nero's arm and his relation to Vergil. See Nero never went DT he just channeled a stand of Vergil's (confirmed by the shadow of Vergil's ending in DMC4SE)

The concept art of DMC4 implies that he was going to get his own DT at some point but that got scrapped so who knows… he's probably getting a true DT form in this game.

This is just speculating but I think that DMCV is going to reckon a couple of things that were implied outside of the games, much like how they changed Morrison's race. My hunch is that they're going to rewrite the origin of Nero's arm

>>15076970

shitty metal cover sounds better. I know want to see how it would sound in the actual trailer if you would replace the EDM one with it

>>15061267

That's obscure enough to give you away, frog.

>>15091243

you're gonna have to gimme a quick rundown, there's a handful of his covers I've enjoyed (non vocal usually). What a fucking shame it's starting to feel like every time I turn around something I liked or might have liked gets exposed for bullshit

I'd really rather not but I did anyways and it makes that music-related meme in your screencap make pretty tame to just how lame the rest of the stuff on his feed is

>>15091299

Let it go Anon. Let them have their false reality.

>>15091299

I manly play on controller but i'v tried keyboard a bit, it really isn't that bad, since your never moving the camera anyway due to it being fixed or the lock on moving it for you.

Someone gitting gud with keyboard doesn't sound unreasonable to me.

>>15091374

A controller is still better.

>>15091575

I hope Lady comes back so we have at least one pretty girl in the game

>>15091830

It's pretty early to tell, aside from knowing that Dante Nero and Vergil are in the game they could be doing anything.

They even when though the effort of referencing the DMC1 Novel, Nico's last name Goldstein is the same last name as the lady who Made Dante Ebony and Ivory, and the Novel also mentioned the Demon Tree that's in the game, who knows were this games going to go with it's story.

>>15091841

>Nico's last name Goldstein

can't help but laugh

>>15091841

I'd be stunned if the supporting cast from previous games don't return. We at least know Kyrie is a lock, perhaps even killed by Vergil, doubtful though.

>>15092152

I keep seeing people suggest that Kyrie could be killed, but I think there no way that's happening, Nero losing his Devil Bringer is enough motivation to make him want to fight Vergil, killing Kyrie off would just be unnecessary, and it would be covering old ground since she was already Nero's motivation in DMC4.

>>15092223

Pretty sure this game will take place years after DMC2. Dante has disappeared and Nero has taken over the business. The reason for this is that at the end of the game, once he accepts his demonic side and his strange arm, he says that it purpose was to kill guys like the Savior, aka demons. Furthermore, by hunting demons he probably hopes to get closer to his arm and, consequently, Yamato, which is the key to hell and far to dangerous to leave in the hands of some asshole. Kyrie is probably at home and Nico is just her mechanic. Also he may or may not keep in contact with Lady and Trish. This game looks like is going to be a recreation of what Sparda fought in his time, the Demonic armies invading the whole world. Pretty good for a final climax.

>>15090881

Yeah maybe they changed it back because it looked nicer, I don't know. He gives him the "May Cry" sign to Nero anyway.

>>15090881

Devil Never Cry worked for how DMC1 ended, but Devil May Cry rolls off the tongue allot better. the anime and DMC4 show that it changed back to May Cry, were never given a reason why, maybe after Trish left Dante pre-anime he changed it back, that's the most logical answer I can think of.

>>15092339

I'll say the second one is more likely, as I doubt Nero would refuse to save Dante, unless there are bad consequences in doing so. Also, yeah, probably some time passes, and, although I am not sure if there will be hell levels, if Capcom makes the right choice and gives each character his own campaign, then I think it would be possible. I say it is very likely you will start with Nero Campaign and unlock the other two as you advance, climaxing in a True Final Campaign. Also I hope Mundus appears again.

>>15090881

That was the plan originally but that detail got reckoned. The series is full of little details like those that get contradicted or re-written in subsequent games. For all intents and purposes Dante never changed the name of his business

Remember how in DMC1 Dante's main sword was supposed to be Force Edge with Alastor being the upgrade, well from DMC2 onward Rebellion is Dante's main sword, even in 4 which takes place after 1… Alastor is never seen or mentioned again.

The anime which takes place after 1 and before 4, in it Trish no longer lives/works with Dante because she can't stand his bad habits but in DMC4 is like that didn't happen. You could argue that she eventually went back but is not like Dante changed much so that detail is left open and not given attention because the anime was made before DMC4.

In the DMC3 manga when Vergil meets with Arkham at the library he kills a librarian, that doesn't happen in the game.

There are a couple more but those are the ones off the top of my head right now.

>>15093624

I actually would like her to appear. I have the feeling that this game may actually take into account DMC 2. Seems like the demons are invading the human world in masses, just like in Sparda's time. Yamato has been stolen, so probably it was used to open hell's gate. Furthermore, Nero seems to be the one taking care of the Devil May Cry agency, which we can deduce then that Dante isn't around. Probably this means that he is in hell, just how DMC 2 ended. He riding the demonic motorbike may be actually the scene when he gets out of hell. Of course this is just a theory, we still know jack shit.

Also be careful what you wish for. DMC 5 may trash her design completely considering what we have seen so far.

>>15093624

The age old of curse of the great character in a shit game

>>15092350

Or all customers still thought it was called Devil May Cry and Dante got tired of correcting everyone.

>>15094955

Where did you get this sharo from?

>>15094955

>So who did Vergil fuck?

A hooker technically, I think that's who it was in the novel(s).

But you can see a cloaked woman from the

Order swooning when he walks by her in a cutscene in DMC4 Special Edition, so who knows.

>>15094968

From some thread sometime ago. Why?

>>15094978

I hope he bonned some random qt, not some damn hooker but I'd be fine with either one

>>15094978

Probably a hooker then, I think its safe to say that the novel is canon.

>>15091833

I giggled

>>15031119

No it's more so the character and art designs that I don't like than the photorealism. Nero's costume face and everything is fucked compared to 4. Infact everyone just had a better "grand" design in comparison to DMC5 where the characters on the screen look more generic in their outfits(ruining alot of the mystique) in DMC when you typically see a humanoid character there is always something striking about their appearance these characters they drew up this time don't really inspire. The game could be fine but the way they designed nero is fucked and IDK what that jewish girl is.

>>15095620

Well i'm sure the only reason vanilla DMC4 didn't have alt costumes was because it was unfinished.

So considering DMC5 has had the longest development time out of all the games, i'm hoping for a ton of costumes from the previous games.

>>15095620

I think the blander and more boring are style comes with the fact that they went with a photo realistic look. Probably the gaudy and over the top design clashed too strongly with the more realistic looking characters. Really fucking sucks that they had decided to go with this. I wonder how much is Capcom's fault. Here I hope the design of the demons are better, but so far they also seem kind of bland, except for the weird flower, bird chick demon.

>>15046555

I think he acts like that because he's aging I think DMC2 takes place when he's getting really really old which explains the tech(and also explains the tech in this game also)

>>15090680

Vergil wants more power because he wants to be more like his dad he runs off at the end of 3 to fight mundus not because he even thinks he's gonna win he just doesn't find commonality or enjoyment living in the human world.

Dante has more in common with his mom he's more human and is looking for lasting human bonds but his main problem is that at the end of the day he's still some weirdo demon freak.

The dichotomy between Vergil and Dante is that Vergil wants to embrace his demonic roots whilst Dante doesn't really want to acknowledge them but he has to because at heart he actually wants normality and a stable earth.

>>15095963

Now with the HD collection on Steam, all the PC version save for the Standalone DMC3 port from 2006, are perfectly fine ways to play the series, you shouldn't run into any real problems.

>>15095963

Play DMC any way you can

DMC3 on PC with style switcher mod

DMC4 on PC

>>15096069

Makes DMC3 on PC playable

>>15096028

The HD versions have problems too.

>>15096069

Despite the name, it's an overhaul for a lot of technical issues with the DMC3SE PC port. It also adds in an option to switch combat styles mid-combo the way you can in DMC4, in DMC3 you can only switch out styles at specific points in the mission through a menu. To be clear, you should play DMC3 the intended way, you should not use style switching on your first playthrough at all.

>>15096109

while imperfections I wouldn't consider those things to be game running,

The best thing the HD colection has going for it is that Serpentiem the guy who made the style switch mod, already updated it for the hd collection and his working on adding allot more to the mod, like level select for DMC1.

>>15096099

>>15096115

Okay, thanks.

>>15096109

What's with shitty devs always making everything clear and with no contrast?

Do they think "old game has blur so blur is old" or is that the new meme like overlays were a few years ago?

>>15096141

Is there a link for that? Searched about a week or two ago and couldn't find it. Only a Reddit link which didn't work anyway.

>>15096262

The way he updates is odd, i guess since this is only his version 0.1 so far he's not putting it up anywhere else yet

but the first link in this comment

https://www.reddit.com/r/DevilMayCry/comments/82gwe2/ddmk/dziw2wf/

has the direct download for the most recent version of the mod

this is also a list of what he's planing to add to it in the future

https://github.com/serpentiem/ddmk/issues/1

>>15096326

Thanks, don't know why the download link wasn't working before. Is it a simple drag and drop?

>>15096367

I haven't actually used it just yet but that what he says to do in the post.

>>15096353

interestingly when you look at how much older the characters seem to be from the anime to DMC4 i think it's possible Patty could be close to the same age as Nero.

I just played through the first 3 levels of DMC3 (until Cerberus) on a PS2 emulator, and also the HD version. Here are some things that were different in the HD version:

Tons of missing effects, the areas were missing almost all the lights making them seem very dull and washed out.

It's much harder to control Dante in the HD version. He turns much slower and it's not nearly as easy to pull off stingers and high times (Dante will do a stinger into the corner in the HD version when he would turn around and stinger the enemy in the emulated version). This makes using Beowulf almost impossible. Getting those damned shoryukens off in the HD version is a huge pain in the ass.

I recall someone saying that DMC3 is clunky and stiff, maybe they were playing the HD version. Emulated version was smooth as silk and I could easily pull off Sweet and SShowtime, but struggled to reach Alright in the HD version.

So overall my advice is to play the emulated version if you can, forget the HD.

>>15096367

Wish I knew what I am doing wrong. Paste the stuff into the root directory, nothing. Paste them into DMC3 folder, nothing.

>>15096429

I don't have those problems at all, mechanic and control wise. Controller issues with the HD collection maybe? I'm using a standard 360 controller.

>>15096429

I did notice that in DMC3 HD doing Crazy combos is harder then it should be.

>>15096591

It's very subtle, most common problem with the controls is when I do a high time in the opposite direction, when I wanted to do a stinger.

Dante has like a half second adjustment time before he looks in the direction I want him to for some strange reason. I'm also using a 360 controller. The emulator responds completely fine.

>>15030958

>Also I might be seeing things, but I think Nero is starting to look closer to his father in face structure, the way the eyes shape look pretty similar

I'm the one who pointed that out you fraud

>>15096664

Either I got used to it quickly or its not there for me. Maybe I'll try the emulation to see.

>>15060671

> This V guy is actually a she

Those shoulders are pretty broad for a she

>>15096429

>Tons of missing effects, the areas were missing almost all the lights making them seem very dull and washed out.

If I remember correctly those lack of visual effects were already a problem both in the original version of the collection and the original PC port.

>>15096732

If anon actually thinks thats a girl then he needs to go the fuck outside or the girls where he live must all be fucking mtf trannies because that man is obviously not a fucking woman.

In typical nip game fashion its most definitely a twink instead.

>>15063233

I hope they aren't, I don't like Bayonetta's >muh light is not good

>>15096783

I doubt DMC will ever canonically be made to take place in the same universe as Bayonetta

DMC has always been mad as a universe where hell exists but not heaven. introducing heaven and angels would raise up far too many questions as to why they've never done anything when the world was in danger.

>>15096777

then again if a smart woman was making a disguise it would include things like shoulderpads to hide the female frame but i highly doubt that's the case in this game

>>15096793

It's part of the GREAT PLAN™ that Not!God has for the world.

I can see a DMC/Bayo crossover going full SMT, as in fuck Lucifer, fuck God, fuck everything and do it with style. And then, since there is no God or Lucifer, someone needs to put someone in charge in heaven and hell. Rodin decides to take charge, and he becomes the extra boss.

>>15095584

>>15094978

They showed that off in a DMC4 novel?

>>15099105

For button presses I'll definitely grant you that keyboard is better. I can't stand playing Super Metroid with its official controls. But for the directional inputs a stick is preferred for this.

>>15098874

It was posted here already >>15091575

>>15099154

I'm pretty sure the guy who did DMC3, DMD, all SS, Rebellion/E&I only, no style button did it on a keyboard. That run is 99% about lining enemies up precisely so you can combo them all at once for style points, so him being able to do it on keyboard means a lack of analogue input can't be that important.

Unfortunately I can't find the videos because they were on Blowhard's channel before it got nuked. They're probably on nico or something.

>>15099200

What difficulty are you on? I blazed through easy and normal, then started LDK and hooooly shit I'd forgotten that bosses actually can kill you.

>>15099200

Your supposed to cheat the dice game you know.

as Nero you buster or melee with Lady and Vergil, the dice lands of what ever number was face up, the numbers always loop in the same pattern.

>>15099476

>not Devil May Birdcry

>>15099200

Just jump backwards a lot.

t. someone that just beat the game for the first time last night. Mission 19 was a fat load of shit in general. I get they were trying to do a boss rush like the end of DMC3, but you can't fucking do that when you already fought all these bosses twice, then tie that to that shitty dice minigame that we already saw being skipped by Dante.

>>15099533

>as Nero you buster

Do you really need to buster? I figured out that the die always lands on the top face and I just hit it with the sword.

>>15099633

I guess not but may it's different between DMC4 and DMC4SE, or i'm just wrong and you could have always hit it with the sword
