The hands on report from PSM3 UK or PSM UK or whatever the **** it's called, made note that the
PS3 version was running at 1080p resolution at ofcourse, 60 fps.
There are scans floating around but here is new stuff.
-The game is said to be long, the longest DMC yet. The bestiary is larger than all previous games combined.
-Both Nero and Dante are playable. However, Nero is the focus so Dante in DMC4 is a replica of his DMC3 combo system, but this time they've added instant 'style' switching to the instant weapon switching. They also updated the animations. (For the people that want to bitch, Dante isn't the highlight, Nero is the focus. So don't bust a cherry about him havin some re-used combat from DMC3)
-1080p / 60 fps
-Hands on impressions let them fight against Bariel and the twin frost enemies. Says, each boss has to be killed in a unique way. (none of that god of war / shenmue shit either, apparently it has to deal with using the devil arm in unique instances -- for example, "slamming the twin frost demons together via devil arm to finish them off)
And here's the shit the article posted, taken from Razma from IGN.
-- Dante is approaching 40. I don't know if it's literally 40 or the character designer was told to model a guy appearing to be that age.
-"Dante is getting too powerful" says Hiroyuki Kobayahi, and said that "making him the main character would take all the challenge outta the game".
-PSM prefer Nero over Dante
-This game ran at 1080p and 60fps when they played it.
-DMC4 is a mixture of the best bits of DMC1 and DMC3:SE
-gameplay is very polished, solid, and responsive, it shames games like Genji : Dawn of Blade (this doesn't really say much, but sure -- sounds good)
-Two levels were playable, the seaside setting level with the docks, and the Ice level with the enormous gothic cathedral and snow capped mountains.
-Frosts are hard mofos to kill. They can disappear, recharge their health by freezing themselves, and when they freeze, their health is revived almost to the stage when you first started fighting them.
-The move "accelorator" is very handy in this battle, since its "spewing flames and steam" out of the sword.
-Demon arm could be used to slam the frosts.
-Plenty of green orbs spew out if you successfully defeat Frosts.
-Press "select" for neros taunt, in which he says "scum"(Hint to Vergil and Nero similarity?)
-Variel is now known as Berias?
-Nero mocks him by saying "he doesnt tan"
-Berias's face is his weak point. Nero is capable of double jumping to his face.
-When he gets pissed, he sends nero flying backwards with a deafening roar.
-Using guns eventually start ti diminish ihis flames.
-Accelarator gives it the slight edge of doing extra damage(Sword goes firey red when he puts that petrol handle down)
Neros moves:
-Grim Grip: Lets neo stretch out his arm like the bendy one outta fantasic four. he can chuck enemies around, but its main use is reaching distant objects.
Fly Over: While Dante is stuck to the ground - Excluding cutscenes where he regularly darts up the side of buildings, Nero can use the grim grip to pull himself across caverneous gaps. You can do this at set points,so keep an eye out for the blue markers.
-Devil Bringer:Not only does this contiune the fine capcom tradition of "arms that do stuff"(God Hand, Onimusha), but happens to be one of the most interesting things in the game. It gives nero an extra egde over Dante in combat.
-The Red Queen: Neros sword is bettar than neros because it has a motorcycle rev in the handle, if you press R2 in time with your attacks he revs until it glows red, which unleashes nasty flame attacks that get steadily more damaging, so long as you keep your rhythm.
-Another shot of CGI Nero Vs Dante, except this time, without pointing guns at each other, they are weilding their swords.
