Devil May Cry 4 opening cinematic is very cinematic indeed

We've been impressed by the footage we've seen of Capcom's newest demon slaughtering simulator, Devil May Cry 4. It has all the elements we've come to expect from the DMC series: acrobatics, dismemberment, and extreme cases of early-onset leukotrichia. However, after paying attention to the jaw-droppingly beautiful opening cinematic for the game, we are left with one major question: What is Nero listening to on those headphones? Sure, high octane techno-rock is a pretty safe bet, but we guess it's possible that our crimson clad protagonist can't juggle baddies unless he listens to ABBA. Guess we'll find out when the game hits U.S. store shelves in February '08.

I shall buy this game on day one. I couldn't care less if the graphics are nextgen enough, actually they look nice enough for me to enjoy this piece of art capcom has created.
Actually this game was the whole reason I bought a 360 for (and some rpgs).
ps: I love classic and opera music.

What the hell is Altair doing sitting next to Nero during the Opera?

Looks awesome. Definitely one of those games I got a PS3 for.

So wait, first they named characters after Italian poets, and now they've switched to deranged Roman emperors? I'll try to act surprised when they introduce Nero's twin brother Caligula.

So, is there ANY chance they'll release a stripped down version for the Wii? If not, looks like yet another game to add to the to-get list when I get a PS3 next Christmas. Well, maybe the PC port will be decent this time around.

Looked like a pre-rendered cutscene from FF8 on the PSOne.
Also, it didn't really serve to tell me anything at all other than to inform me that for some reason Capcom feels like it needs to fall back on 1998 technology for its storytelling. Oh, and that the main character looks like Dante, but isn't Dante. So he might as well be Dante.

The only thing that could have saved that crap would be the dude jumping on stage and whacking off the singer's head with his sword. Then bow as everyone applauds.
Seriously, going by the opening cinematic, this must be targeted at 12-year-old girls.

Just awesome. Seriously. But, did anyone else notice tearing? Or something similar to the effect of tearing? I'd like to know what this is running off of too.

Wow, I thought that sucked. I really liked Devil May Cry, and I LOVED DMC3! But this looks like they went and changed up the art style to appeal to the teenaged anime /furrie fan people. I am really not as interested in this game as I used to be. I am just going to wait for Resident Evil 5 for my capcom fix.
