Nero's lineage is pretty on the nose. Hell, Vergil is Nelo Angelo (pronounced Nero Anjero) in Japan. They literally have the same name.

AK912161d ago

Well DMC4 SE confirmed Neros lineage but I want to know how Vergil came back from the dead and who is the black haired third character?

PhantomS422161d ago

More importantly, where are Lady and Trish!

tinchotin2161d ago

I think it's Vergil, but the shadow makes the hair look dark grey.

SarcasticDuck2161d ago

Vergil didn't came back from the dead, he visited Nero's city before DMC3

BlaqMagiq12161d ago

He was supposed to be dead at the end of DMC3 but came back as Nelo Angelo in DMC1 and was killed by Dante in that game.

SarcasticDuck2160d ago

@BlaqMagiq1
1- what's your point?
2- Vergil didn't die in DMC3, he went to hell and tried to face Mundus (and failed since he became Nero Angelo)

Nebaku2161d ago (Edited 2161d ago )

So tired of the forced Vergil inclusion in everything. His story arc was great in 3, but it was finished and finished well. Give us something new instead of going to the well again, or worse, retconning existing stuff like Nero's design to do it.

Movefasta19932161d ago

Facts , everybody wants vergil to keep returning but what made dmc3 so great was that scene where Vergil cuts Dante's hand to stop him from saving him. I want the guy who ripped off Nero's arm to be a new villain.

SarcasticDuck2161d ago

people think Nero looks like Vergil? Tbh I thought it was DmC's Dante when the trailer started rolling (he gets white hair at the end of the game, for those who don't know)

KwietStorm_BLM2160d ago

I thought the same thing. I said oh God they're actually using that character model with proper sequels now. Didn't even immediately know it was Nero. I was more surprised to see Dante take a backseat yet again. It's the same way Devil May Cry 4 was presented to us.

SarcasticDuck2160d ago

I'm happy for dmc5 but i'm also curious what a DmC2 would look like because how they left things with mission 20 and Vergil's Downfall looked promising! Just wish they had made that game without being a Devil May Cry

Signal132161d ago (Edited 2161d ago )

Man, the trailer for this game was fucking cringe incarnate. Kingdom hearts 3 looks significantly less silly and that’s the most glorified fan fiction ever created.

Maybe if they kept the voice acting in Japanese it wouldn’t be so bad. Anime dialog in English is just awful. And that new chicks voice is fucking AWFUL. So is her design. She’s like a half assed Cindy(ff15) meets Dr. Naomi(no more heroes)

KwietStorm_BLM2160d ago

I want to agree with your points but I refuse to take anyone seriously who continues to use that stupid ass cringe like it's an adjective.

Signal132160d ago

Fair enough, I guess. This trailer was poorly voice acted, generic anime bullshit. and the feeling I had was embarrassment. Usually associate with “cringe” humor.

CrimsonWing692160d ago (Edited 2160d ago )

Um, Devil May Cry has always been cringey and anime inspired... like is this your first time ever seeing a Devil May Cry game? You may want to check out Devil May Cry 3 and Dante surfing on a missile. It’s just fun and there’s nothing wrong with that. Great trailer in my opinion.

FFXVI’s Combat Proves It's Time For Another Capcom Remake

With Final Fantasy XVI committing fully to fast-paced action gameplay, it may finally be time for a new remake series of a classic Capcom franchise: Devil May Cry. As the franchise that essentially originated the particular style of 3D action combat that the upcoming Final Fantasy is making heavy use of, Devil May Cry could very well be due for a remake, or even a series of remakes, to address certain flaws and more dated aspects of its classic games, similarly to the popular modern remakes for Capcom's Resident Evil series.

How can combat from one franchise be proof for a subjective opinion on another?

SeTTriP386d ago

Makes no sense to me either

lucian229386d ago

why in the hell would we need a remake of devil may cry when devil may cry 5 was great? We just need devil may cry 6 ; not a remake, enough with the remakes

jambola385d ago

Yeah I mean, no insult to the franchise but it's not like the story or location of the first was so top tier that we need to go back to it

lucian229384d ago

yeah rather progress with story where it is

Pepsi_Man3000386d ago

I'd much prefer we get new games that have such combat. Enough with the remakes. At least move forward if you want more of the same series

Elda386d ago

No remakes. The next installment of DMC would suffice.

CrimsonWing69386d ago

Why not a sequel? Why do we run to "needs a Remake" all the time now. I'd rather have the original and then a brand new entry instead of the original and the original but remade.

It's Time for a New Mainline Devil May Cry Game

With DMC5's four-year anniversary passing and the increased relevance of its genre, now could be the best time for a new Devil May Cry game.

They are working on Dragons Dogma 2

BISHOP-BRASIL416d ago

Never heard about it, but boy do I hope you are right! Dragon's Dogma was great!

Was a very anticlimactic announcement, but it's official!

Gridknac417d ago

I am super surprised that a total remake of the first DMC, in the vein of the latest Resident Evil titles, hasn't been revealed.

MIDGETonSTILTS17417d ago

It was at least a decade between 4 and 5, so keep holding your breath ;)

cbuc1125417d ago (Edited 417d ago )

Exactly...these games don't come out often.

Furesis417d ago

Right, surely there wasn't anything else that was the cause for that...

FallenAngel1984417d ago

DmC released between those titles. Even if it’s its own continuity it still showed Capcom was interested in the series

TheEnigma313417d ago

Capcom is banging out the RE series. I would Love a new Onimusha and Power Stone from Capcom.

thejigisup416d ago

Well sh*t while we're at it let's get a remake of MvC2. Honestly Devil May Cry was one of my favorite games and I really didn't like the tonal shift too much as the series progressed. Now would be a good time to return to DMC 1 and do a soft reboot from there keeping the tone dark. I would also be 100% down for a game based on the story of Sparda.

Fable Co-Creator Says He 'Ripped Off' Devil May Cry to Create the Xbox RPG's World

Fable co-creator Dene Carter turned to Devil May Cry for an idea of scope when developing the 2004 hit action RPG.

CrimsonIdol548d ago

"Look to your peers", "stand on the shoulders of giants", "don't re-invent the wheel". Or in far more blunt down-to-earth British dev terminology: "rip it off" hahaha

Eonjay548d ago

I mean I agree with his sentiment of not reinventing the wheel. Imagine if every physicist, for example, had to derive the equations of relativity from scratch every time they were looking to make a discovery. We would never get anywhere. This isn't the same thing as straight up plagiarism of course.

CrimsonIdol547d ago

Oh yeah, I imagine there would be very few major games developed in the last 20 years that didn't copy things that worked from previous games in terms of structure and design. The blunt language just made me smile. And I guess opens him up to some click-bait titles.

XiNatsuDragnel548d ago

Study the other person's homework one could Say

Just here to read the comments of the people who obviously didn't actually read the article; just the headline.
