Devil May Cry 4 -- forgive the fanboy excitement

"From that day forth... my arm changed... and a voice echoed. Power -- Give me more power!"

This isn't quite a rant, more of an excited boy getting geared up for one of his favorite gaming franchises. The Devil May Cry 4 teaser site is active and is promising something will happen in seven days. No, not a mysterious call from a little girl who brings your life to an end. At least, we hope not. What could happen? A full-blown gameplay trailer (since it's going to be playable at TGS, those of us who can't attend would like to see the game in action)? Some sort of contest? Just a looping image of Dante laughing at us?

From the quote at the top of the page, is it safe to assume this latest entry in the series takes place after the events of Devil May Cry 2? This blogger's memory of that game's story is fuzzy at best. The third one completely erased any sort of images from the mind. Either it takes place after the second, or could it be the story of the legendary Sparda? Though the character shown at last year's E3 looked a lot like Dante. Maybe his brother? Ahh, the excitement. Hopefully the difficulty will remain medium-to-high. No one wants the cakewalk like DMC2.
