What a rush: Awesome Devil May Cry 4 trailer is AWESOME
Jim Sterling01.31.08 - 6:55 PM 45 comments

It's so easy for me to forget how much I love the camp action of the Devil May Cry series that once I remember, I get all excited and giggly. Devil May Cry is a very silly series, and the gameplay is top notch in both terms of simplicity and challenge. As if the demo and the UK 360 pricetag for DMC4 wasn't enough to ramp up my anticipation, this epic new trailer has sealed the deal.

As well as showing off the rivalry between Dante and Nero, we get to see more shots of my videogame monocle-wearing counterpart, some crazy looking combat, and even crazier looking enemies. From the looks of this trailer, the demon surfing pioneered in DMC3 is back, much to my utter joy, and if that bit where Nero (or Dante, it's so hard to tell) is flying through the air, leaping from falling rocks happens in-game, I may just wet myself.

If you disagree that this video rules, then you're to turn in your Internet badge by sundown.

I have never played a Devil May Cry game. This video makes me regret all that.

I'm not sure what's more epic;

That extreme mofo-ing missile launcher,
or Dante eating pizza with some bitches.

Awesome, first day purchase for me!! The cutting in this trailer is really well done, almost reminds me of an Anime OP. This song better be in the final game!! Can't wait for the game!

This has to be the only game where you can die 20 times trying to beat a boss but be ok with it, I really can't wait for this to come out soon. DMC4 will be EPIC!

Can you even play as Dante in this one? It seems like the Devil May Cry series might be suffering from the Phoenix Wright syndrome. Replace the main character with a newer, but similar looking younger character and have the original only make cameos.

Also I still have DMC 3 SE sitting around waiting to be played c.c.

And they guy with the monocle is totally Dudley. Sorry Jim.

I hope to hell he has a line where he calls someone "Guttar Trash.".

@Trevor: yeah Dante has been confirmed playable but who knows for how long. Think MGS2 but let's hope not.

Either way awesome vid with equally epic song. 'Bout time we had more monocle wearing bad guys. Although, I don't think the jumping and flying part is in-game but I hope I'm wrong. That was a great scene.

I don't know fuck-all about the Devil May Cry series, but that was mecha-badass. (I don't know why I typed that. It's just what came out. Sorry.) Dude uses swords AND guns. Nice.

Great music, sort of great characters, great out-of-context scene cuts, and a story that goes nowhere relevant.

It's kind of a shame DMC is plagued by the fact its story fails to be done proper on the higher levels of depth.

But yeah, this trailer is only good because of the insert song.

Yay! I love L'arc-en-Ciel so I can't wait to hear this when I start up my copy of DMC4 this coming up week!

Do want. I only hope Main Character in this game is somehow tied with Dante besides the obvious. Otherwise I wonder why they made him look so much like dante.

This game scares me because I know how hard DMC games tend to be. Even so, I have my pre-order on it and will be picking it up on release day. Having honed my skillz on NG: Sigma and God of War lately I feel up to the task!

I've made it a point to not watch more then a few trailers for my favorite up coming games the "final" trailer already spoiled too much about the game

I'll wait until after I beat the game once to watch it

I loved Devil May Cry

The second one was too easy and looked bad.

The third one was too hard and looked great.

I'm excited about this four...but I feel like maybe we're all being PR'd by ye old Hype Machine.

If they're going to put in a new character, why couldn't they ahve given us a crazy Co-Op mode with Dante and Nero.

Now THAT would be a hit.
