This is SO unfair! How the hell am I meant to be able to afford a PS3!??!?!
I want this game so bad - I dont even need to wait for the website to open!! XD
Unless I turn to crime or prostitution that machine is waaaaay out of my reach! 
is it ok to hope this is DMC2?
I doubt it.
Just wanted to check.
If they made another DMC2 to appease all the little bitches out there who cant handle proper games, it would ease the pain.
But what if it's not? - What if it's as good as DMC3!??! O_O
There's no way I could handle that!

That's a good point actually - it's too big to sit under my TV, they want it to be the focal point of your life...mind you if DMC4 is Holy like the last one that wouldnt be difficult! XD
Maybe we could all pull together to make my PNWii game concept a reality, then we'd be rich!

BBC news
Nintendo has snubbed the loyal band first to take the DS home by releasing a new, improved model,...N64 was the only console in the Japanese giant's history to escape the makeover.
Roffle XD !
ALL of those are highly tempting!

This is what I am seriously considering doing. I have five ctredit cards, only one of them has anything on them, the others have credit of about 10k. If I could get three PS3's... I'd make a mint on eBay, wouldn't I.
It's so darned tempting...
As for DMC4... I honestly have never seen the appeal. I've played them all and just got seriously bored and frustrated with each one. I just don't find them in any way enjoyable to play.
I've got back on DMC3 again like a nutter, need to get that Heroness vibe back in time for Godhand and the inevitable clucking for DMC4!
They've really got their work cut out if they are actually going to build on this system, the amount of work and attention to detial that's gone into Dante's control and system in DMC3 is frightening!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yigr8qnsEVA
Dante Must Die - Mission 2 - Royal Guard
Caned out of my mind yet STILL took no hits BAYBAAAY!!! XD
________________________________
I'm so hopeless at DMC3 - I can't even finish it on normal difficulty.
I went to the heroness cupboard, but alas it was bare...
Cmon man! Where's your resolve!!!??
Would The Hoff leave it at that? When the chips are down and the cupboard is bare would Arnie give up? Hell no - he'll just keep taking heads off and blowing shit up until the matter is resolved!
Keep at it and Normal to Very Hard become an absolute joke!
The whole game is built from Dante outwards - best way to get sick at it is to pick a stage (Mission 2 is nice and compressed) and just play with the system, especially listening to the enemies.
________________________________
Very true of course.
I need to knuckle down & channel Robocop through my joypad for extra damage.
Blatant - Robo was FUCKED by the end of the 1st movie but he still made The Magic happen!
There's so little of this stuff now - it's well worth your while to savage these games up while they still make em!
________________________________
Found this on another forum...I think its a good possibility he is right!
The person talking isn't Dante. Nor is the person in the logo.
It's Nero Angelo:
[spoiler]Nelo Angelo is actually Vergil from DMC3 possessed by a greater demon, which one thought was Mundus, but apparently not.[/spoiler]
The red logo represents Dante and the blue represents Vergil. That's pretty much a given, as you can note from the logos:
DMC1 logo:
DMC2 logo:
DMC3 logo:
DMC4 logo:
[/spoiler]
It could be, because the silohette looks more similar to Nelo Angelo than Dante. Also after youve defeated 100 enemies during the credits, you get to see that little cutscene where he runs off to fight Mundus still injured...to seek more power.
Only recently actually had time to sit down and cain DMC3:SE, made a fair dent in getting S ranks on normal and Hard, but I really should make a start on playing as virgil. Had a few goes, and ran back to Dante because I just couldnt control him.
Vergil is still my undoing!
It's the cycling through 3 weapons that my hands wont cooperate with, my brain processes it just fine
but there seems to be a communication lag from there to the controller!
If I trained up more I'm sure I'd rinse it - but whenever I play the game now I just want a specific war
and a specific variation of Dante. Like if I wanted to flip out and wail (REALLY hard) on my guitar
as everything explodes - Vergil cant provide! Going through a Dante Must Die Mission 2 and Mission 18
fad at the moment, I love caning Mission 2 with Royal Guard then doing the whole boss rush on Mission 18
- it's bliss! That Demon Chessboard is da SHIT! - Have you tried "Just Release" in Royal Guard as the King
Chess Piece opens up and explodes? Even in DMD mode that's enough to kill the entire board (if you Devil
Release at the same time!)

We need some restraints up in here! I dont know how Mr Dash will take this news...
New information confirmed in Famistu!
- Yuji Shimomura is once again directing the cutscenes
- The main character\Hero is Nero...
- The gameplay systems will be similar to the games before this
- Takes place between DMC1 amd DMC2
- 60fps
- Besides guns and swords you also use Nero's right arm to pull off devil actions with the "Devil Bringer", its an ability that the PS2 could not handle
- The TGS demo will have you playing Nero as well
Dont cry Dante lovers! I dont think they have completed ripped Dante out the game (they just wouldnt!) as it mentions GUNS are involved in this game too...Vergil\Nero DOESNT use guns.
What do people think about that? What if Dante was no more playable in DMC4 than say...Snake in MGS2? Who am I kidding, even if story mode wise Dante was a character you got to control now and again, you just know just like in DMC3:SE, you would be able to select him to go through the same levels just as Vergil did.
Also "you also use Nero's right arm to pull off devil actions with the "Devil Bringer", its an ability that the PS2 could not handle"...what?
:ph34r: :huh:
HYPED UP?! YUP!
Might as well give Vergil another crack in DMC3 tbh, hardly got anywhere in the game with him, because his move set and his fighting style was just too different to what I got used too! Was like playing a different and harder game!
Have you tried "Just Release" in Royal Guard as the King
Chess Piece opens up and explodes? Even in DMD mode that's enough to kill the entire board (if you Devil
Release at the same time!)
Really? I gotta try that then! XD
I only properly sat down with DMC3:SE about 2 months ago after having neglected so many single player action games because of XBL (Was still ADDICT to SF3 on live up untill 5 months ago, missed TONS of games)playing catch up with some releases I know I was eagerly anticipating when reading about them on forums and such.
Anyway, whacked out the single player story on normal (SHHH!) in about 2 days. I was proper hooked to it! Went through trying to best my Grades on and off for about 4 weeks. Love the way you can revisit all the levels, and just sit there practicing them up untill you can ace them. One of the first S ranks I got was the final boss battle against Vergil. Was so chuffed! "Just Release" + Beowulf combos to start and end a combo sequence...DEAD! ;p
Took a rest from it catching up with other stuff, but after this DMC4 news, gonna be playing DMC3 sooner than I thought. Oh and...
! lol

I love that advert so much! XD - the Final Fantasy ad for "Potion" aswell is absolute class for the same reasons!
TBH regarding playing Nero it's not something I'm concerned about. The only thing I'm thinking about is whether they've kept the same ethic
as DMC3 and built upon that game system even more - or dumbed the game down to appease the majority of gamers who wont bother
to learn something like that.
Every series I truly love has gone through the second process, I really dont want it to happen here.
I could be playing as Bear for all I care - if the system is as sick as DMC3 or (shock) even better, I'm 100% their bitch.
"Let's Rock! BABY!"
________________________________
Tons of media is now out in the form of Famistu scans and website art for DMC4 now...far too much to post in a thread! But heres some choice ones...
Nero looks bad ass.
Anyway, ive read from some reports that the "Devil Bringer" ability is a new gameplay addition that Nero uses through his right arm to bring enemies back to life...inorder to kill them again. So the possibility is there to have endless combos.
And it also allows Nero to do somthing a bit like Scorpion's "GET OVER HERE!" spear move to grab enemies that are getting knocked too far away...
Some other decent speculation that ive read aboout is that instead of new weapons gained from boss battles, Nero extracts or resurrects the boss to fight as, or along side him in battle. Imagine calling in Cereberus for example if thats true.
^^credit to the guy who made that...awesome. Thats fire thing is a scan from Famistu of the boss, or while Nero is in Devil Trigger btw OR with the bosses possessed soul. Cant wait for videos and more screens and gameplay footage. ^_^ I
Like in that picture there, I guess the image of the ghost or apparition steaming from out of his arm is the Devil Bringer. So you could actually be controlling the bosses you defeat by having you as Nero sit inside the ghost\demon...if that makes sense. A bit like in Kameo where she is inside of the creatures...nope? Nevermind.
Anyway, cant wait to see the game running and in full flow at TGS this month! Not long left. \o/ Be cool if we also get a story sequence released to watch like they did with DMC3.
Just this minute read some new info flying in of interest...Courtesy of Seven_G at the Gamespot forums. Credits goes to him for translating.
This is the new info I translated from these Brasilian websites:
- the Devil Bringer works like a whip that brings enemies closer to you.
- The combo system is supposed to be identical to the last one.
- The enemies are full of special FX, especially the bosses (apparently they saw a Flaming Minotaur)
- Exclusive to PS3.
http://www.gametv.com.br/preview.sho...me.id=9&page=1
Translation of the most interesting paragraphs in the second link:
"Nero - or Nelo, the nickname used by Vergil, Dante's brother - has essentially the same abilities as Dante. Equiped with his magical sword, the Red Queen, the hero can surpass human limits and have enough strength to deal with even the strongest demons. However, this strength depends on the speed of the strikes: the hilt of the sword works just like a motorcycle's handle, and as it is pushed harder, the force of the delivered strikes will also be greater (se7en: Looks like this may be that speed system or whatever it was that Famitsu was talking about). Like his predessecor, Nero will also use firearms..." blah blah OLD'd
"The big novelty however is in the mysterious power known as "the Demon's (Devil's) Right Arm". Using some kind of supernatural force in his body, Nero can carry out various functions that are very different from Dante's Devil Trigger, like creating an energy-made arm to pull in, bind, throw or simply attack enemies. A balanced use of this new system, the sword and the guns is required in order to improve your style sequences
It's not fair! Next manz are going to be playing this at the TGS and I'm NOT!!!
NOOO!!

Looks Great, the fighting mechanics looked similarly to DMC3 with lots of aerial combat shown. Hopefully this alleviates any possibility of a DMC2 happening.
More... more... more.

Capcom HATE us!!1! They want us to be skint for the Dant0rzzz cause.
It's based on the DMC3 system!!!! O_O - I was 100% certain they'd dumb it down, but no - they want to take over my life all over again.
I cant watch any more videos, I just cant!
Capcom hate you! They love me though

Some news that DMC fans maybe interested in. Copied and pasted from my post on another forum
http://dmc-tv.com/
There's the site for the series. I noticed this bit of news on an anime forum I frequent. I know there are a bunch of DMC fans here so I thought I'd pass on the news. I'm a big fan of the games myself so I'm looking forward to seeing how they go about this. Currently it's down for a 12 episode run but as always we'll probably know more closer the time. Some other interesting info is that Madhouse is onboard for the project as the production company. Now for those of you not familiar with them, they're basically the guys behind the recent Black Lagoon anime adaptation as well as a variety of other shows. This has the potential to be pretty cool or pretty crappy but given the company involved in it I'm optimistic that it'll turn out good. I mean seriously, picture some of the action sequences from Black Lagoon with Dante involved
Simulataneous release for 360 and PS3............
CAPCOM®'S DEVIL MAY CRY® 4 EXPLODING ONTO MULTIPLE PLATFORMS
The Next Generation of Capcom's Smash Hit Action Franchise Comes to Next Generation Systems, PC
SAN MATEO, Calif -- March 19, 2007 -- Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that the highly anticipated Devil May Cry® 4, already in development for Sony Computer Entertainment's PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™), is now also in development for Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and for PC. Each version of the game will be maximized to take advantage of the systems' strengths, leading to a breath-taking visual and gameplay experience. Devil May Cry 4 will be released simultaneously for the PS3 and Xbox 360 system.
"Capcom is committed to making its titles available to as wide an audience as possible, and has been building its technology base to meet that goal," said Mark Beaumont, executive vice president, officer and head of Capcom consumer software publishing in the Americas and Europe. "This announcement means that PS3, Xbox 360 and PC owners worldwide will be able to experience the latest installment of one of Capcom's pillar franchises."
From the producer of the original Devil May Cry® and Resident Evil® 4 comes the next installment in the hugely successful stylized action series that has so far achieved global sales of nearly seven million units. Devil May Cry 4 immerses gamers in a gothic supernatural world, where a new protagonist clashes with a familiar hero. As the new leading man, Nero, players will unleash incredible attacks and non-stop combos using a unique new gameplay mechanic, his powerful "Devil Bringer" arm.
With the advanced graphical capabilities of the next-gen systems, high definition visuals and intricate detail come to life as players explore new and exotic locales. Dynamic action and undeniable style combine with unprecedented fighting options and a gripping story to produce the incomparable experience that only a Devil May Cry game can deliver.
Ooof. That's going to hurt 3 days before the European PS3 release. Possibly the most ill timed press release ever.
Metal Gear Solid 4 then
Pre-Order and Bank Loan Cancelled!
This feels weird though, it's like a Sonic game on Nintendo hardware!?! Or something >_>
Best News Ever!

When's 'Wii Carlton' coming out?
Pre-Order and Bank Loan Cancelled!
PS3 -1 sale. ^^^
There really is zip all point in me even thinking about PS3 until there's some decent exclusives and I have myself a big HG ready TV to use it with.
I'm probably looking at 2008 now.
Those familiar with the DMC series and the 360 and PS3 controllers, which one do you think will be more suited to the game? To my hands the 360 pad is very nice indeed. Buttons are perhaps a little spongy. What's the deal with this Saur.
I cant play DMC3 on the PS3 controller let alone the Xbox one!
For DMC4 it's Dual Shock 2 + adaptor all the way baby. It's the triggers that fuck up everything on the Six-Axis(TM)(C)(R), I've tried to play God Hand and DMC3 on it but it's so wrong.
They wanna hurry up with this! I bet they preview it at the TGS, tease the hell out of us for a while then release it for xmas.
I cant wait that long!!!!111|!
________________________________
Ah I see. It needs digital triggers.
Wouldn't the 360 bumpers fill that gap. Although their placement is a bit awkward. Sorry for noobish questions. I've never played DMC3 (hangs head in shame).
Bruv you are presuming that DMC4 will not be a return to DMC2. They may even make it like GOW...
______________________________________________________________________________
When's 'Wii Carlton' coming out?
I think I just heard saurs head explode...
Thats just unfair.
Looks like I am going to be Captain Wii60 eventually... although I am happy with the Wii solo atm.
I need 2 sets of digital shoulder buttons for DMC3;
(L1)Devil Trigger - (R1)Lock-on
(L2)Gun switch - - -(R2)Weapon Switch
It's the fact that the pressing is not instant which screws up DMC3 for me on triggers, I'm sure most people wont mind but I cant play like this. Even Lock-on has to be instantanious as I find myself constantly changing directions for single strikes and holding or not-holding lock-on for directional commands.

They wont...they wont...they wont... (repeat till release)
________________________________
Thank fuck for that! No more lugging PS3 'round Japan. ^_^
Looks like that'll be at least 2008 til I pick one up now.
Though you fella's have got me worried about pads/controls now...
Been playing God of War II over lunch. Dear GOD. It's still like DMC for ADHD sufferers. You "assault" the Colossus of Rhodes fairly early on by pressing the fucking Square button when a prompt appears on screen. It looks fantastic but you're not actually doing anything. It's like watching someone kicking ass only to step in at various points and go "yeah, kick him in the balls". When did gameplay become vicarious?
A non-games playing buddy of mine played GoW and found it offensive as all he was doing was waggling the analogue stick and pressing buttins when he was told to by the game.
I assume his analysis was correct.

Pretty much, but you can turn the tutorial shit off (which I did straight away). Even then the "core gameplay" is maddeningly limited.

I agree, although I am having fun with it. It's a technical achievement for the PS2 being able to create these huge, monolithic environments and bosses.
It's no DMC by any stretch of the imagination, nor does GOWII afford an open-ended approach to the Kratos mechanics either, but as an Action/Adventure title, I think it does a decent enough job of it. Personally.
The only thing that bothers me is the way "gamers" actually compare GoW to DMC3, it's insane - apart from the fact they both have fighting in them there's no similarity in their design whatsoever.
I'm confident they wont dumb down DMC4 to this level, even on shitty IGN they had a DMC3 style tournament! There are people out there who appreciate the system and the videos get caned - I trust Capcom arent going to fuck over this fanbase, I mean a good play video does more for promoting the game than any shitty review does.
________________________________
I am not so sure it even fulfils the action adventure moniker. It's so simplistic. DMC got around this by opening up the combat to the player, so long as they put the effort in. GoW and GoW II don't even offer that.
Sounds a bit Dragons Lair-ish.
PURE SEXYN3SS!!1!! :jawdrop:
Those with a PS3. Sign up to the Japanese PSN and download the two new DMC4 videos... and cry at how fucking long we're gonna have to wait!!1!
Just watched tha trailer in SLOW and the devil arm looks wickedness, grabbing fools and pulling them into your combo chain FTW!!!
