TGS07: new Devil May Cry 4 gameplay footage [update]

by Ross Miller { Sep 20th 2007 at 2:50AM }

Update: In last night's frenzied blast of news posts and inundation of press releases, we grabbed the wrong Devil May Cry 4 trailer and, on top of that, made some extremely noob-ish observations. Here is the correct one, embedded above, showing new gameplay footage.

Did anyone else hear Vash the Stampede?

jopojelly @ Sep 20th 2007 3:21AM

yes, and a little bit of Grenadier thrown in.

Seeing this new trailer, I'm actually interested in this if it was a movie.

John @ Sep 20th 2007 3:25AM

Wow guys. There is no Dante doppleganger. That's Nero. Ring any bells? I'm sure you've seen trailers for this game before...

Mr. P @ Sep 20th 2007 3:31AM

Firstly, everything in the trailer is actually real-time. Secondly, there aren't two Dantes. One is Nero, one is Dante. Thirdly, I want to bone that brown chick.

Kelikan @ Sep 20th 2007 3:46AM

Uh, thats Nero, not Dante.

elmersglue @ Sep 20th 2007 3:51AM

this looks rad...not diggin the music though

Victor @ Sep 20th 2007 5:33AM

Is it just me or was Dante getting his ass kicked by Nero?

waynski1457 @ Sep 20th 2007 5:46AM

thats what caught your eye? for me it was the JUBBLIES!!

unosturgis @ Sep 20th 2007 5:59AM

hooray for boob physics!

CitrusC @ Sep 20th 2007 7:17AM

Looked like a dude with boobs tacked on! DO NOT WANT.

NaeemTHM @ Sep 20th 2007 10:20AM

IT'S A TRAP!

Korova @ Sep 20th 2007 7:42AM

any game with subtle (not DOA) breast physics gets a +1 from me. apparently the uncanny valley has no effect below the neck.

the trailer looks great. i liked the rag doll enemies.

Any video with heavy music makes the game look badass.

I've never played the series: what is it like? Twitchy spazzy? Fluid combos? Extremely cinematic? Repetitive? TELL ME.

I think you need to rectify that right now:

Start with the third one but first accept the fact that it's difficulty level *will* make you weep like a sissy girl. And when it throws you the bone that is easy auto mode, catch and chomp on it like your very being hung in the balance. Don't make the mistake so many others have done before you and let your foolish male pride spur you on to dismiss the offer.

You'll be able to pick it up for pennies now. Don't even consider the extra cost of the special edition, the core gameplay and storyline remains unenhanced thusly it's not a worthy purchase.

There are a small number of games that capture the essence of what it means to be a cool, ruthless badass of ninja/pirate proportions. This is one of them.

Ibere @ Sep 20th 2007 11:09AM

No way! Try the second one... the third one is just stupid. I don't care games that are diffcult, as long as I don't need to replay the whole level if I die. Playing DMC3 is like typing a big text in Word and when it's done it crashes and you realize you didn't save it.

ThornedVenom @ Sep 20th 2007 11:53AM

@ skipjimroo

So it's like Ninja Gaiden or something? xD

RoenKatana @ Sep 20th 2007 7:54AM

Nero just beats the crap outa Dante and hes not even flinching, and then at the end
"Adios, kid." XP

Zsavior @ Sep 20th 2007 8:13AM

I am sorry but it looked like Nero sure was punching and Dante was just taking it. There is a difference between losing a fight and giving up. Even though it still looked cool.

Evan @ Sep 20th 2007 8:19AM

So, is DMC4 a movie, or a game?

BonesNYC @ Sep 20th 2007 8:45AM

Wow, I didn't expect God Hand 2!

ikiryou @ Sep 20th 2007 11:42AM

I'm probably in the minority who thinks God Hand is better than DMC, at least when it comes down to which game is actually more *fun*.

JBob @ Sep 20th 2007 9:04AM

Joystiq really needs to improve the quality of it's bloggers (or perhaps have a "blogger-in-chief" that reviews items before they're posted). I think the only thing that's correct in this post is that this is a trailer for DMC4. While not "in-game" the footage is clearly real-time "in-engine", not pre-rendered. As stated in several of the comments above, Dante is fighting Nero, not himself. And finally, "the devil may cry twice" is not a pun (it's not funny or clever either). I realize that this is just a blog, and not a "real" news site, but at least try to get your posts correct.
