Changing constants: new Devil May Cry info from PSM

 

The latest issue of PSM: Independent PlayStation Magazine says it has some new information on the beloved Devil May Cry series’ fourth installment. While the new information isn’t exactly “new” per se, it does make us wish we knew more about Nero and what Capcom has in store for him.

According to the mag, we should expect to see some good old staples of the franchise reappearing in new forms. “It’s safe to say that the generational leap in hardware has not caused the series to lose sight of what it is: pure, all-out, unforgiving action, writes the magazine. “Many mainstays from the series, including colored orbs, air juggling, and the Euro-gothic aesthetic remain intact – only everything is rendered in eye-blistering high-definition at a locked 60 frames per second.”

One other thing you should remember from the preview is that Nero is his own man. While he may look like a clone of Dante, we’ve been assured in the preview that it isn’t the case. “While his standard gun and sword attacks may seem similar to Dante’s,” the magazine notes, “the animations when using his Devil Bringer are simply gorgeous.”

Simply gorgeous, eh? As long as his coolness doesn’t start looking more like a Justin Timberlake clone, we’re all game for this new title. Oh, and one tidbit from the mag: Playable Dante. How cool is that?
