I've been waiting a long time for this game, because I am a sucker for DMC. I thought the reboot was pretty bush-league, but the combat was fun and addicting, and the graphics were great. For me though, 4 is the pinnacle, and even though I was initially pissed they swapped Dante out for a Dante look-alike, I actually ended up enjoying Nero quite a bit, and it was kind of nice to take a break from Dante's ridiculous braggadocio for a change. Plus, everything he does has to be so sexy all the time, and it's annoying. Just put on a damn shirt and kick some ass, alright?
But I digress. In this new trailer, we get Dante, Nero and a new playable character named V that can turn his motorcycle into a demon-weapon. There is also a video here of Nero using Mega-Man's M-buster, and even though I love Mega-Man, this is pretty stupid, in my opinion. Why the hell would he need an M-buster? This is available for your entertainment if you order the deluxe edition.
The basic plot is more of the same, but that's to be expected. Red Grave City has gone to hell and back, and is completely overrun by demons from the underworld, and they are spreading to the rest of the world pretty fast. Legendary demon hunter Dante has to team up with fellow demon hunter Nero and weapons artist Nico to kick ass, using his trusty sword Rebellion, his twin pistols, guns Ebony and Ivory, and an utterly insane motorbike that splits at the handlebars to create twin blade weapons. Trish and Lady are also running around in there, wearing minimal clothing and kicking ass.
The game will feature three playable characters each with their own gameplay style: play as Nero, Dante, and the newly introduced V, a mysterious new client for the "Devil May Cry" office that speaks in poetic verse. Can't wait for that to get annoying.
Devil May Cry 5 is releasing March 8, 2019 on Xbox One, PS4, and Steam.
