Stylish demon destruction: Devil May Cry 4 gameplay

Devil May Cry.


He's a smash hit, that Dante fellow. Making mincemeat out of demons is quite tiring, so Capcom let Nero play the main character for Devil May Cry 4. While he doesn't seem as cool as Dante, you have to give him props for having some demon-smashing devices that really do make the devils cry.

In this gameplay video from the demo, we see that Nero's basic combat style is a mix of some of the different things we've come to expect from Dante, except that Nero has three different weapons at his disposal at any given time. He uses the Red Queen and Blue Rose effectively as a sword-and-gun combination, with the Blue Rose having a slower firing rate (but definitely more power) than Dante's Ebony and Ivory guns as far as we can compare. The one thing brawlers will definitely like about Nero, however, is that if you don't like using swords, you can mix it up with aerial attacks from his demon arm.

The demon arm shows its useful functions in this video as well. While it's a handy way to perform aerial combos, you can also use it in mid-air to snatch an opponent from the ground with the uppercut and then repeat the aerial combo, ending it by smashing the enemy into the ground. It's a little cheap, but effective nevertheless.

Our only complaint based on this video? Nero speaks a little too often, and "Slam Dunk!" as a battle phrase does NOT sound cool. Enjoy the video, and make sure you have an XVid codec or an alternative media player to view it. Check the source for more details if you can't play the vid.

looks like 99 nights, less about 97 nights... :P



Maybe an improvement for the series (never played) but looks like the same gameplay as 99 nights, just with less characters to beat up....
