Devil May Cry 4 information leaked a tad early
Considering there is a countdown about to run out at the official Web site, we expected to get more information on the PlayStation 3's standout title Devil May Cry 4 relatively soon. But, thanks to the power of the Internet and Japanese magazines, we can get the goods just a wee bit earlier. According to a rough translation of Famitsu, this is what you're gonna get with DMC 4:
The game takes place after DMC 1, but before DMC 2.
You play as a new lead character by the name of Nero.
Nero has devilish right arm. He can draw enemies toward himself and then throw them.
The combo system has as base the one from DMC3 and they are revising/reworking details according to the fans' comment-remarks.
Nero's sword has a bar. The sword has some kind of a driving force in it. It's a new way/element to enjoy the sword handling.
At the Tokyo Game Show there will be real-time footage.
You can view the magazine scans of the article and photos here:
It's nice to know there will be "real-time footage" at TGS, but how about some real-time gameplay on the show floor? That'd certainly be a nice way to extend the olive branch to disheartened Sony fans -- especially when you break the news to your Japanese base about getting the short end of the stick come launch day.
