anyways, these videos are available to IGN subscribers only, so i was nice enough to download them, and host them on my site for TNL's viewing pleasure, enjoy!
(Quicktime video, right click save as, 640X480, 19MB)
DMC3 looks awesome and I welcome its return to the greatness. I know that 2 was quite dissapointing, even to me (with me being DMC nut and all that), but with 3 everything, from the environments and character/monster designs to the action and explosive moves looks perfect.
I will be watching the vids tonight, and thank you for hosting them.
I can't wait for the time when DMC3 demo gets released in US. Hopefully.

you're welcome,
i only played DMC2 for 10 minutes at a friends place, let's just say i wasn't impressed to say the least.
DMC3 looks good. Real good. Hopefully DMC1 good, which was amazingly good. Not like DMC2, which was...not good.

I played this back when the other thread hit but never got around to typing up anything. One thing I want to go over:
The styles need some tweaking because right now they don't each seem to be equal. Trickster is okay, definately the weakest of the bunch since running up walls isn't needed and the dash is only marginally better then the sword thrust. The sword style (can't remember the name) is better since you can stall an enemy on the twirling sword or you can throw it, which makes a good projectile both ways and opens up fist combat. Problem is, I had a hard time throwing it, Dante usually just started spinning the sword whenever I tried to toss it. I think it has something to do with the range of surrounding enemies, but until I figure out how to properly use that (or gets fixed if it really is screwed like that) it gets a second place score. Gunslinger is easily the best of the lot, immediately giving Ebony and Ivory actual stopping power instead of their usual "fire at enemies who just walk right through the bullets," controllable multiple opponent aim, and rapid-fire shotgun.
Note: the fourth style wasn't available in the demo.
FYI: For them claiming to have a controllable camera, this is the weakest effort I've ever seen. It won't re-center if you're within 15-20 feet of a wall and circling is slow enough to be totally useless in battle. Fix that re-centering issue and they're gold (actually, give the option for a behind-the-shoulder locked camera and then they're gold, but at least they're actually somewhat putting some effort in the camera system this time).

What? What the hell happened to December 17th? Well, thats great news for me, spacing out all these games this season can't be nothing but a good thing.
edit: just checked out the opening sequence, good stuff.
Nice av Despair. And thanks for hosting the files marwan, looks sick.
you're welcome!
i really hope they bump the difficulty up a little. At first i thought DMC1 was hard, but the more i got into it, i realized it's not as hard as i thought.
anybody facinated with that dog like boss by the fountain in DMC1, the guy that change shapes and turns into needles......he is just pure evil!

And here is where I doubt you ever tried DMD mode. I made it through, but I can't imagine ever saying it's not that hard.

Aye, that was tough. I love landing on their spike attacks and letting them have it, though... that was awesome.

Dante Must Die difficulty, that you get, if you beat Normal and Nightmare modes.
Much tougher enemies, who also have time limits before they go into berserk mode, when they can only be damaged by DT attacks. You do much less damage and bosses have more life and real pain in the ass.
Very challenging, but I found it to be a great fun. Once you beat it, you get Super Dante, with unlimited DT trigger, which is really cool.
I've changed my mind about Korian. Anyone that can piss off so many people so easily is awesome. You people are suckers, playing right into his evil yellow hands.
I'm playing the first one on DMD right now just to regain old memories. The third one already looks like it has more depth then DMC2 though, you can tell that its not just style in this title. And I'm glad it's coming out in Spring 2005, Capcom understands my wallet will implode if they don't.
Unfortunatly noone else knows that.its almost as bad as 2002 xmas...nothing came out all year than BAM like 20 friggin titles at one time...do companies realize that the little under the radar titles could actually sell if they release them in summer/fall instead of BLEADIN CHRISMAS!!!
but yeah,i am glad that DMC isn;t till next year...i have WAY to much stuff to buy.I still havn't found my SFAC controllers.
EDIT: i just got DMC3 demo from suprnova.org as usuall the HD Loader doesnt like CDs so it got stuck on 51% when i tried burnning it on DVD it turned out that DVD drived is busted!
Awesome, Awesome trailer. New characters revealed and action is incredible.
I want it NOW !!!
lol, I was hoping I'd get to it first. That new chick gives me goosebumps, for a second I thought it was an emo younger version of Dante, but alas, just some new character. This looks promising. The stylistics in this game look more like they'll be used to the max instead of just show in the 2nd one.
It looks awsome and everything seems to be on track except for the fact that the characters dont look cool like the first one. Dante looks like a fruit now. Why would you wear no shirt and a trench coat? Also that new chick doesnt look that cool neither.Other than that it looks awsome.

Um..He looks more badass then he did before, and stronger, which doesnt really work, but I guess we could say the baddies he faces in this title are much weaker then the ones in DMC? Either way, it looks great, and I crave wallpapers, or a couple songs from the game.
So the game has been leaked, I am going to import from Play-Asia which is shipping out on the 15th. The JP version has a option for English text and all voices are in english.
Some games you can just describe in one word, like Bangaioh = Explosions. For Devil May Cry 3 the appropriate word would be "BADASS".
Hell, after the intro movie the game says to you "YOU WANNA KNOW? DEVIL MAY CRY!".
All the cut-scenes are just over the top and REALLY well done, and actually two movie producers handled the cut-scenes instead. Dante is back and makes sure to be a complete smartass to every boss or character he encounters. Some of the things you will see are Dante owning up Demons with a Motorcycle, Jamming on an Electric Guitar (which is one of your weapons!), Demons getting their shit ruined, and a whole lot of people getting stabbed. They are fun as hell to watch and I was ready to have my face rocked everytime the "LOADING" screen (which you can shoot by pressing SQUARE) came up.
Just a little background on myself and the DMC series. I beat DMC1 on Dante Must Die mode and the bosses in that game are some of my all time favorite but I havn't played it in several years. I have never touched DMC2, and never plan to. As far as I'm concerned, that game does not exist.
Anyway, you have probably already read about the four (and 2 secret) styles. These are all really balanced and it just comes down to preference in the end. If you love to go around blazing Ebony & Ivory you will be in Gunslinger mode all game. I can say that every single one of them brings a whole new level of kick ass to Dante when they reach Level 3 (the final level). You will only be able to get one of them to Level 3 on your first time through though (About 15 hours). However you can replay any of the 20 mission you have completed, so you could level them up hard or save up Red Orbs for purchasing upgrades if you wanted to. This is one thing that can make the game easier.
Your style ranking is based on your rating while fighting enemies. Initially you will start with "Dope!" and once a bar below this is filled, you move up to the next level as follows:
Now you can't just spam the same move over or keep firing your guns and hope your bar fills. Only varying your techniques will keep the bar moving up (the bar is constantly moving back). Even taunting (SELECT, and Dante has a load of phrases) will get your bar up! This may seem like it could be difficult, but not with the newest combat addition.
Other than the styles, the newest and biggest addition to combat is the ability to equip TWO Melee weapons and TWO Guns (out of 5 total for each). At ANY TIME (mid-combo, in the air, wherever) you can switch between these 4 weapons by pressing L2 for Gun switch and R2 for Melee switch. This makes combat very deep and it just looks badass when you have all the upgrades and know what you are doing.
I was only playing with my Grado SR60 headphones but the sound in this game was rocking hard. It supports Pro Logic II and Dolby 5 for cut-scenes.
The graphics are top-notch PS2 quality and the backgrounds are varied and great to look at (reminded me of the first game). They have some very nice architecture going on here.
There is Easy, Normal, Hard, DMD mode, and a new "Heaven or Hell" which is a 1-hit kill mode for both Dante and enemies. I guess the hard part about this is getting a "S" style ranking, otherwise you COULD go around killing everything with Ebony & Ivory 1-hit kill.
edit: The only thing I can say that felt a bit off was one of the menus where you can look at your moves looks a bit crappy. It also loads very slow because they have recorded videos of the combos in action.
Also there is a map you can select but it is useless. Really a game like this doesn't need a map, and you won't ever use it. If you DID want to use it, it wouldn't help you, because it doesn't tell you where to go next. I have to say RE4 had one of the best maps.
If anyone is worried about getting another DMC2, don't be. If you have any questions please ask me.
How are the English voices? BE FUCKING HONEST OR YOU WILL DIE.
