DMC3 Highlights
- The game is a prequel.
- The series producer Tsuyoshi Tanaka wants to return to the visual style of the first game.
- Many of the games stylish action features will not be in the E3 demo to avoid spoiling the surprise.
- The core of gameplay in DMC3 revolves around a new feature called the "style system". You will be able to chose a specific style at the beginning. Gunslinger, Swordmaster, Trickster, and Royal Guard are the four styles revealed thus far. As you progress through the game, you can distribute points into categories related to the style you are using. Each style has its advantages and disadvantages. How Dantes Demon powers will work is still a secret, but he gradually remembers powers as you progress through the game.
- DMC3 is currently planned to last about as long as the first game and it will be just about as puzzle focused.
- Tanaka admits that DMC2s large open level design meant that most players could use guns for the entire game. In DMC3, the levels have been designed to test long range and melee fighting skills equally.
- DMC3 has a brand new 3D engine
- This allows for new special effects. For example, an enemy might form from sand, spew sand when hit, and return to sand when you kill it.
- The environments are much more destructable.
- Shadows and lighting are much more realistic
- Weather effects
- DMC3 will be mission based (like the others), but will feature intro movies to each mission and completetion movies that move the storyline along.
- Some missions have no bosses, and some have multiple bosses.
- A new mysterious female character whos involvement is unknown at the moment.

a prequel is a cool concept. I'm looking forward to DMC3.

Malitos_Sahkir · 04-30-2004, 10:55 PM

Yeah, gives it the whole "going back and starting over" feel... Loving Dante's new ( or old? ) look aswell

.

Inval1d · 04-30-2004, 11:09 PM

me too.

Sora Kahn · 05-01-2004, 03:33 AM

Oh man! First I hear that a KH2 game is being made, then Jak III, then a battlefield Star Wars game, now DMC3! My God, these next couple of years coming up is going to be pure gaming heaven.

spiderman_2k · 05-01-2004, 05:25 AM

This better be good.

It sounds like they know what went wrong in DMC2 and are fixing it up for this game.

taku · 05-01-2004, 12:25 PM

Ryuhei Kitamura (Versus, Godzilla Final Wars, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes) is directing the games cut scenes! And his style will be incorporated into the actual gameplay.

there is always a girl....

Malitos_Sahkir · 05-01-2004, 12:41 PM

She better not look like Dante's Mother, and she better not be as retarded as Lucia, that's all I'm asking... Women haven't done so well in the series so far.

Inval1d · 05-01-2004, 01:54 PM

nice pics.

I love Dantes new outfit.

roboxeno · 05-01-2004, 03:02 PM

wont it be a old outfit since this is a prequel?

Malitos_Sahkir · 05-01-2004, 03:02 PM

Hopefully theres an actual STORY in this one...

Inval1d · 05-01-2004, 03:11 PM

it's kinda wierd how DMC3 Dante's outfit is the torn version of his old outfits.

DMC1 - trench coat, pants, shirt.
DMC2 - trench coat, pants. no shirt.
DMC3 - torn trench coat, pants, no shirt.

Inval1d · 05-03-2004, 11:28 PM

IGN has info. I dunno if it's the same but i'll post it anyway..

May 03, 2004 - We all know Devil May Cry 3 is coming. Seeing as how contently knowing is about as useful as trying to kill demons with a sword shorter than 10 feet, we pestered Capcom until we were presented with an official word: "Capcom will formally announce the game at E3." Whoops.

Fortunately, we're persistent and about as informal as Ed at a donut and snowboarding convention, so we headed over to our Brisbane buds at PSM to check out the latest June issue of PlayStation 2 Magazine, which also informally heralds the coming of Devil May Cry 3 by putting it on the freaking cover. Official that! What did PSM teach us? The younger Dante is, the meaner and sexier he is. That's right, we said sexy.
Subscribers of PlayStation Magazine are already fingering through the seven pages of Devil May Cry, complete with more new screenshots than you thought possible, but since the rest of the gaming world will have to wait until later this week to pick their copies up at newsstands, we figured we'd offer you a quick glimpse of the game. Expect...

Setting: Prequel
Premise: Not a damn thing to do with Devil May Cry or DMC 2, except for a younger Dante, who's apparently "full of piss and vinegar."
Fiction: Over an hour of cinema -- almost no CG.
The Suave: Versus, Twin Snakes director Ryuhei Kitamura sets up the cutscenes.
Gameplay: Style system allows players to pick a style (hand-to-hand, gunslinger, swordfighter, acrobat, etcetera) and then pour points into that style to develop Dante in specific ways.
Pacing: As long as the first game and as puzzle focused.
Pugilist Love: Hand-to-hand fighting and expanded combos will proportedly "blow DMC1 away."
Fluidity: Better animations and better animation transitions.
Chaos: More destructible environments.
Bosses: Pattern dependent baddies can no longer be mindlessly chopped to death.
Crazy Giant Weapons: The old twelve foot, curvy electro-sword will definitely make an appearance.
Release: Fall 2004
Hell yes! If you'd like to learn more about Devil May Cry 3, please find the June issue of PSM on newsstands later this week, or wait until next week when we deliver the straight E3 hands-on the magazine promises we'll be privy to. Since checking back is such a burden, just track Devil May Cry 3 and have a margarita. If you track it, you'll get automatic updates as they happen.

André · 05-04-2004, 03:51 AM

Sounds good! I'm so looking forward to this years e3!

NeoVsYoda · 05-04-2004, 06:00 AM

This is sounding HOT. We all know how much DMC2 was a HUGE dissapointment - this looks like it is going back to the basics that made the game so popular in the first place.........BRING IT ON!

When is it out???

Inval1d · 05-12-2004, 06:53 PM
