Who’s that third guy in the thumbnail

I can identify Dante and Nero, but not the one on the right. Funny how Dante isn’t the one in the center though

Movefasta19932529d ago

He died as nelo Angelo they can't keep brining him back

Lightning Mr Bubbles2529d ago

I liked it, it gave me rocker kind of vibes that Devil May Cry 3 had. To be honest, it also gave me vibes of the Devil May Cry reboot that everyone hated, which I actually thought was pretty good.

Sevir2529d ago

That's not Virgil. Virgil is the one who stole Nero's Devil Bringer in the trailer. Pretty sure he's escaped Hell and brought the incursion back to Earth...

He'd have reason to go after Nero, because Nero had his sword Yamato in DMC4 and used it as a conduit to unlock his Devil Trigger..

I have no idea who that 3rd character is, but this seems to take place after DMC2 which also takes place after DMC4

SarcasticDuck2528d ago

no, the guy has black hair, it's not Vergil

Daggerjack2528d ago (Edited 2528d ago )

It is Vergil. He's the one that rips off Nero's arm. All 3 are playable.

Abraiel changed the thumbnail, it used to show 3 guys

ZombieKiller2528d ago

Probably get blasted with disagrees but maybe its Dunteh from NT's version. Come to find out this whole time hes NOT Dante, DOES exist in this realm, isnt a total douche, and decides to fight alongside the good guys. They could rewrite him. I mean hopefully not but who knows lol. Glad to see the continued story of 4 though. Been saying i want this for a while. Looks likely did a decent job in trying to reboot the feel of the series as well, without straying too far.

-Foxtrot2529d ago

Shame Nero is getting more attention with this, I really just wanted Dante to be front and centre.

ZoidsRaven2529d ago

I agree, and I liked Nero.
I just think Dante should be the lead.

ThanatosDMC2528d ago

Completely agree with you. My reaction was wtf is Nero here? They even announced that it's going back to the story of Dante, Vergil's corruption, and the murdered Eve... Nero doesnt fit anywhere. Someone in Capcom has a huge hard on for Nero.

The other bad thing is they made Nero look like Donte.

Kenshin_BATT0USAI2528d ago

3 playable characters. There will probably be decent focus between all three. Hopefully no backtracking this time.

Rippcity2528d ago

I honestly loved Nero in 4. His fighting style is so much more fluid than Dante's. I never really liked the stance switching with Dante. It wasn't as fluid as it needed to be for fast paced action. I constantly felt like the battle would stop while I switched stances. I'm way more excited to play as Nero again and if Dante is playable they really need to figure out a way to do the stance switching better. I liked in DmC where the trigger being held switched the weapon mid combat. Felt way more fluid than Dante's combat in 3 and 4.

Movefasta19932528d ago

it's no way near as fluid as Dante's ,you were just trash with Dante that's all

Rippcity2527d ago

@move I must be trash with him haha. I was able to do the Bloody Palace with Nero but couldn't do it with Dante. Is there like a different control scheme or something? I feel like taking my thumb off of the analog stick to switch stances always left me standing there like an idiot waiting to get hit. Maybe I just need to get better with him... 😔

Team_Litt2529d ago

So glad this isn't exclusive as previously rumoured! Wish it was on Switch too though.

Team_Litt2529d ago

Doubtful. But not unprecedented.

Araragifeels 2528d ago

Streaming is the only way, I can see it released on Switch like Resident Evil 7.

OffRoadKing2529d ago

Microsoft sure tried to make this and many other games seem like they were.......again.

NovusTerminus2529d ago

Team_Litt, When did Sony try to make it look exclusive? This game was only showcased during the VGA's last year.

hiccupthehuman2529d ago (Edited 2529d ago )

How?

Besides, not to turn into a mud-slinging contest, but Sony does it too. Ace Combat 7, Tekken 7... all announced with only PS4 version, until later confirmed multiplat....

andron2528d ago

Like any platform would mention their competition when showing something. As long as they don't specify it's an exclusive, it probably won't be.

Real simple really, just think for yourself and don't put your assumptions on MS or Sony or who ever.

starchild2528d ago

No, I thought it was pretty clear that it was a multiplat. Just as clear as when multiplats are shown at other platform holders' conferences.

Christopher2528d ago

Actually, they were much better this year compared to the last two.

mgszelda12529d ago (Edited 2529d ago )

The switch would have a significant graphical downgrade. Those visuals are beautiful. The switch will have Bayonetta 3 though

Kaze242528d ago

You seriously think DMC 5 can be played on the switch? Just like every game with 1080p graphics or higher, the answer will always be no.. Every IGN person kept asking on almost every game if there was gonna be a version of the switch, they all said no.. They should stop asking..

OffRoadKing2528d ago

Looks like you got called out for being wrong...........again.

TheProblem2528d ago

Please tell me how Sony tried to make it look like Shadows Die Twice was a playstation exclusive? I'm so tired of xbox fanboys making up shit.

I expect an answer

Nyxus2529d ago

Best announcement of E3 so far for me.

starchild2528d ago

That's cool. I'm pretty excited about it too. I'm personally even more hyped for Sekiro Shadows Die Twice and Cyberpunk 2077, but Devil May Cry 5 is on my wanted list as well. Looks great.

Devil May Cry 5: Why You Should Start Over in 2025

It's been six years since Capcom dropped Devil May Cry 5, but it's still more than worth replaying in 2025 thanks to its rich gameplay.

Because the anime is on Netflix and we gotta ride that DMC in the news again wave.

CrimsonWing6926d ago

You sound like you’re just a ton of fun to be around.

franwex26d ago

It’s been sitting in my backlog for a while now. One of the first games I wanted to try for this current gen due to the long load times of previous gen. I’ll get around to it soon!

Zenzuu26d ago

One of the best, stylish, and fun action slasher on the system. You definitely should get to it, as soon as you can.

solideagle25d ago

they are taking way too much time with DMC6...

VersusDMC25d ago

The DMC5 team went on to make Dragons Dogma 2, the DMC director (3,4,5) left capcom to make an action game at another studio and the rumor is that a DMC remake is next...so i wouldn't hold my breath on DMC6.

ZeekQuattro25d ago

Everytime its on sale I think about buying it but never do. I only played the orginal and somr of 3 so I guess that's part of it.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

VersusDMC389d ago

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC389d ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos388d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga388d ago

Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5

2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me

Friendlygamer389d ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey602389d ago (Edited 389d ago )

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya389d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde389d ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP388d ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.
