CONFIRMED: Devil May Cry 4 Demo Release Date

CONFIRMED: Devil May Cry 4 Demo Release Date
Written Wednesday, January 23, 2008 by James Parkin

Good news everyone! We've got information about Devil May Cry 4's demo directly from Chris Kramer, Senior Director, Communications and Community, of Capcom.

"Warm those broadband connections. The Devil May Cry® 4 playable demo hits both the PLAYSTATION®Store and Xbox LIVE® Marketplace this Thursday, January 24, 2008. Devil May Cry 4 has been rated M for Mature by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB).

The demo introduces gamers to the gothic-inspired supernatural world of Devil May Cry 4, new protagonist Nero and the awesome power of his Devil Bringer. The demo consists of a sampling of sections from the full game, chosen to showcase Devil May Cry 4's varied locales, allowing gamers to familiarize themselves with Nero's unique abilities. Players will receive instruction on the various new actions that the Devil Bringer bestows, such as the ability to slam creatures to the ground, cover great distances in a single bound or even grab enemies while on the ground or in the air and pull them towards Nero to continue an attack combo. The Exceed system allows Nero to "rev up" his sword as if it were a motorcycle throttle and unleash devastating attacks. Players will need to master all these techniques before the end-of-demo showdown with the mighty Berial.

Fully demonstrating the power of the next generation of consoles, the Devil May Cry 4 demo brings to life the coastal city of Fortuna and its surroundings in exquisite detail, such as the port and the snow-capped mountain ranges. Devil May Cry 4 delivers its intense action at a constant 60 frames per second at 720P resolution on HD monitors, ensuring seamless and breathtaking gameplay in stunning high definition."

Hallelujah! If my cat would have gotten run over this week, I'm pretty sure this would have made up for it.

EDIT: Jason Allen, PR Specialist for Capcom, has confirmed that this will be US only for the time being.

@Grimgravey57 - Fantastic question! I've never understood why those feel the need to post first on news sites. It's not just here either, look at all the gaming sites and there's usually someone going "omgz i'm first1!11! here'z my 15 seconds of fame"

Ridiculous if you ask me.

I've never been a fan of DMC. Maybe this game will change that...

Limpfinger is right... "Retards", people like that should have either commenting ability removed, I had to scroll down an extra few inches to read comments that might actually be interesting or to write something myself.. As for the game, I couldn't care less seeing as Turok is coming out the same day.

I heard this game isn't going to be as good as DMC3... but I haven't played any of them so I shouldn't notice. Hopefully it's decent... I always kinda stayed away because it looked really queer, but with the advent of achievement points, I've become more open minded I guess.

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
