Dante and Nero are pointing guns at each other, Dante seems to have a soulless look in his eye which kind of contradicts his personality.

Snatch looks like an awesome ability, I smell original action-oriented puzzles arising, which Devil May Cry 4 could really use.

Nero will have charge shot, thank goodness. At least we don't have to switch styles like we needed to in DMC 3 just for charged shot. It seems that it has become a universal move.

2

Nero is staring at an orb which seems to be a key item, also the originality seems a lot better than DMC 3's key items. Let's just hope DMC 4 can surpass DMC 1's key items.

They changed the Style meter sayings, instead of saying Do it! it says Deadly, which sounds much better.

Awesome, Nero actually moves his lips and facial expressions when he is attacking! Detailed facial animations FTW!

His arm is extends to grab items or objects across long distances, yet again, this will improve the puzzle/exploration aspect of DMC 4.

3

Frosts have returned! That is awesome, the more like DMC 1 the better. However, I don't like the boss bars, it looked best in DMC 1.

It seems Nero is preventing the Frosts' attack, kinda like Royal Gaurd or something.

Dante is indeed a playable character, look at the scans. Dammit he is still using Rebellion, where is Alastor? The crappy move Drive is still in the game.

It may be too early to say thia but it seems that Dante could perform all of his moves without switching styles. But then again, I could be wrong.

The snow setting is still used, which looks fairly nice. I seriously can't wait to buy this game.

Any thoughts?

this is some great new info here....finally some new details emerge. The environments look ridiculous and the action looks like its gonna be really intense....something tells me with that one scan that they are going to be putting a serious amount of enemies on the screen...

Cool thread dude.

I like the look of Snatch as well, that's certainly one of the more unique looking additions to the gameplay. I'm really liking the looks of these new puzzle types. Charged Shots being universal is definitely a good thing, hopefully they'll have moves like Wild Stomp be universal as well. Deadly! is a large improvement over Do It! for sure.

Good to see some stuff from DMC1 is coming back, like the Frosts and the similar types of environments. That snow area is going to be epic, from a gameplay and a graphical standpoint. I hope they add something along the lines of interactive environments, like perhaps maybe knocking the fire boss into a huge wall of ice and having it cave in on him or something like that.

More Dante details are probably the best part of this whole thing. He looks just as badass as ever, and so do his moves. I would have preferred Rebellion in this case, but I don't like the idea of having Drive replace Round Trip again. Not one of the better decisions made.

Overall though, this is some great info. The game looks GREAT so far, I hope the site updates soon with a gameplay vid or two of Dante and Nero's new abilities. The only thing I'm confused about are a few details about the styles. Are Nero and Dante using Trickster and Swordmaster in those pics, or are those just decorations or something to spice up their life bars?

why should it be different just because Americans made it?

are you discriminatory?

look at Ninja Gaiden and Enchanted Arms, two very easily defined as japanese made games, both on the Xbox consols.

quit whining only makes it worse, dont see me cry over my crooked spine which will require surgery do you? no, you dont cuz worrying and bitching only makes things go to hell in a handbasket a whole lot faster.

btw, is it just me, or is Dante sportin sorta a Chuck Norris look in DMC 4?

What is snatch? Is he sticking his devil arm through those bars to grab that red orb?

Whats up with the red cowboy boots, please somebody tell me.

You don't wear sneakers with a red leather trench coat.

Anyways, I love that the frosts are back and that ice castle is *bleep*ing cool looking.

I wonder if those dinosaurs will be back... I can't *bleep*ing remember their names! Considering the frosts are the same creature only encased in ice.

Basically. I wonder if the ability can work during combat to pull enemies closer.

And those dinosaurs you're thinking of are called Blades.

Thank you good sir.

Great info to drool over. Dante is shown as playable at last. That's a relief, officially .

Other than that, I think we'll be drooling even more when we see the high quality magazine scans when they're uploaded to the homepage.

Ah yes, and weren't there two versions of them? One was a huge mother *bleep*er and the others were smaller? I always liked those guys.

*grins*
Nice.

And the surroundings look awesome too.

Well, it aint much better to wear high ass cowboy boots either. I mean dante isnt going to coyote ugly to pick up some girls all kratos style, hes trying to kick some demon ass. Um, how about, maybe some combat boots, or special demon killing wear, something of that sort? Unless he has some kind of combo that involves the boot scoot boogie, those things need to go. Of course, it aint gonna happen but one can wish.

...come to think of it, if kratos and dante were buds and he saw dante in those fruity boots, im sure hed find that grounds for him to go all rage of the titans on dante...

Nice scans, nice to have some kind of info once in a blue moon.

Nah, those were the "Nobodies" that had two versions, Blades only had one form but you encountered them underwater too so maybe you're thinking of that.

It's been forever since I last played DMC1, and I lost the game, but I do believe there was a spot in the Coliseum where a bigger Blade attacked you with smaller Blades...
