How hardcore will DmC: Devil May Cry be? Maybe a bit too much, if you ask us.
As in previous Devil May Cry games, DmC has a number of difficulty modes you can unlock after completing the game. In addition to the standard modes (Human, Devil Hunter, and Nephilim), you'll be able to challenge yourself in these special controller-breaking modes.

DmC: Devil May Cry being a "AAA" title, of course it was going to have pre-order bonuses. Depending on which retailer you purchase the game from, you'll get some "souped-up" bonus weapons and "helpful items."
For example, GameStop is offering the "Samurai Pack," which transforms Dante's shotgun, scythe, and axe into "solid Samurai devastation." Whatever that means. You'll also get some upgrade points to instantly upgrade weapons and combos at the beginning of the game.

While some fans are still unhappy with Dante's redesign in Ninja Theory's Devil May Cry, our hands-on revealed a game that's not unlike its predecessors. It may look radically different, but the game certainly feels like a classic Capcom action game.
If you want to find out more about the game's specific combat mechanics, this new video from Capcom-Unity will help you understand what the difference between Angel and Demon mode is and how to use Dante's various special moves.

E3 2012 is officially in the rear-view mirror, which means it's time for the Weekend Confirmed crew to talk about all types of impressions, news, and more. Garnett is joined by the Jeffs--Cannata and Mattas--and a trio of special guests: David Ellis from 343 Industries, and N'gai Croal and Justin Blankenship from HitDetection. There's far more than can be covered in one show, but the crew still manages to touch on a huge list of titles. Halo 4, Dishonored, SimCity, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Rayman Legends, New Super Mario Bros. U, Watch_Dogs, The Last of Us, Beyond, Need For Speed: Most Wanted, Resident Evil 6, and The Cave are just some of the games discussed in this week's info-packed episode.

DmC: Devil May Cry has gotten a lot of flak from fans for attempting to reboot the franchise with a new developer, and a new Dante. Yes, he's younger and has black hair. But having played the new DmC, it's hard to think of it as a reboot. It plays so much like the previous games that it might as well have been called Devil May Cry 5.
For example, you can slash into an enemy, starting a simple combo. Then, you can launch him into the air, pull yourself up and start slashing midair. As you slowly plummet, you can then start shooting at another enemy on the ground, and then swing your swords down as you crash atop the monster. All the while, a combo meter fills up on the top right of the screen. As you vary your moves without taking a hit, it moves from a Dull to Awesome. Doesn't that sound exactly like a Devil May Cry game to you?

Andrea, the two Jeff's, and Garnett waste no time getting right to all the new info on Resident Evil 6, Lost Planet 3, and Devil May Cry coming out of Capcom's recent press event. They also have a few quick updates from a similar event held by Namco that unveiled a PC version of Dark Souls and provided an update on the status of a western release for Ni No Kuni. We also get a first look at FEZ and Andrea shares some of what she saw at PAX East, including the awesome-sounding indie, Super T.I.M.E. Force. There's much more along the way as well before putting the Finishing Moves on this episode.

If you look at it one way, a pair of new DmC: Devil May Cry gameplay trailers show the new Dante stabbing faces and jumping around hostile animate architecture. From another angle, though, it can be seen as a powerful metaphor for how youth violence and vandalism are tearing our cities apart. The wonders of interpretation, ladies and gentlemen!

Dante's next foray into demon slaying is bringing a number of significant twists and turns to the Devil May Cry series. While the upcoming DmC: Devil May Cry is not a complete reboot of the franchise, Capcom is calling it a "rebirth."
While many fans have been upset about the new look for Dante, perhaps it will be comforting to know that Ninja Theory's game takes place in a different, parallel universe.

Ever since Capcom and Ninja Theory revealed the redesigned Dante for DmC: Devil May Cry, fans have been up in arms. Every trailer released since has tried to convince gamers: hey, maybe things aren't too different, okay? In this new trailer from Tokyo Game Show, we see "emo Dante" doing what he does best: unleashing a flurry of combo-able attacks. You'll even see the Devil Trigger mode, where Dante's hair turns white, and his jacket becomes bright red. Is that enough to appease the naysayers?

To celebrate the upcoming 10 year anniversary of its Devil May Cry series, Capcom has asked fans to submit art based on the franchise to be featured in a new, unannounced game.
For inspiration, the blog post on Capcom-Unity.com notes: "Think about all the iconic characters from Dante, Nero, Vergil, Trish and Lady and all the fantastic weapons they have wielded." Based on the franchise's anniversary--and recent industry trends--it's possible the unannounced Devil May Cry game will be a collection of the first three games in the series. If so, perhaps it will be in glorious HD, where Dante's hairdo (as seen above) won't be the subject of such fan ridicule.
