Capcom finally, after a 7 day countdown opened up their official website for Devil May Cry 4.

There's some spoilers for the previous games here so beware if you haven't played any. Here's things that I've heard and noticed about it.


-Dante looks considerably older in this game than the previous ones, he has a slight muzzle going now. o.O

-You do NOT play as Dante as the main character, you play as that younger looking chap in the blue coat you see on the page. His name is "Nero".

-Before anyone jumps to conclusions, it has NOT been confirmed that Nero is Vergil. It would seem that Capcom's trying to pull some really weird mind game with that. Here's whats known about that whole ordeal.

--To contradict that its Vergil, this character looks considerably younger than Dante and official releases said that he was a "new" character. The character is supposedly a human who's hand becomes cursed somehow, and it draws him into the whole ordeal of the game. How isn't known.

--To go with that it is Vergil, Nero as some may remember...is the proper spelling of "Nelo", as in Nelo Angelo...his name in the first game. Nelo was a mistranslation of Nero. (If you're curious, Nero Angelo means "Black Angel" in Italian). Also, the main character's form and the big "4" on the title screen is blue instead of the usual red, although DEVIL MAY CRY is in red. He does have that icy glare too...

--It could very well be a completely new character, or maybe a combination of the two somehow....some speculate maybe its a reincarnation of some sort but until we find out more its all just talk. Although you have to admit...the similarities to Vergil seem more than just a coinicdence. No one is that callous.

-Main character won't use Devil Trigger, but instead use some new kind of power that comes from his hand.

-The game will supposedly be playable in demo form at this year's Tokyo Game Show.

Here's the wiki.

From what shots I've seen so far, it looks pretty gorgeous as well.

I was pretty underwhelmed with the shots that came out of Game Informer. Very bland, with lots of blurry, low-res textures. Really didn't look a whole hell of a lot better than DMC3. Hopefully we'll get some decent gameplay footage out of TGS.
