I knew they put in that half-finished player moveset for a reason, this looks great.

I can't believe there's no Dante/Johnny Bravo crossover art.

It helps that if you read between the lines, Dante is actually a huge loser who has terrible luck with women, and can barely pay rent because spends all his money on coats and pizza.

Dante might be a huge loser*, but he's been more successful than most small business owners. How long has he kept Devil May Cry running, despite cutthroat competition and garbage business sense? Quite a while, as far as I can tell.


*he's actually insanely cool

I agree. I was hoping that V, Dante, and Vergil would all have the same face model.

Dante and Vergil do.
It's all about the hair and facial hair for D/V that differentiates them.

V not looking like Dante makes sense b/c otherwise it would give away an already obvious twist, but I always liked the twins more identical-- mostly b/c of the dope fight in the rain from 3 already mentioned. Vergil looks a bit different from Dante in 4, but iirc his face is still mostly the same, just slimmer and he has no facial hair.

e: ^^ could just be that, but idk his face does look a lot different in 5 to me

I could be high tho. In fact I am high.

It's a different model and I initially wasn't a fan but I've come round. I think Vergil having the same face as Dante wouldn't work with the photorealism.

Probably to keep it fair and equal to those that don't have em, but flipside isn't it only really the mega buster you'd be missing out on? One's a recolor and the other just gives you a tiny bit of healing.

I suspect that is to avoid accusations of 'pay to win' considering it has leaderboards.

Gerbera GP01 replaces the neutral move with an up flip on ground, down flip in the air, instead of the palm blast the regular one has. It’s not a huge difference but it’s worth considering.

The Mega Buster is poo poo, Sweet Surrender is actually really good. It's the only "healing item" in the game. If you are playing for distance, it's real real good.

e: Like the passive healing isn't much unless you aren't taking hits [In which case you don't really need it], but breaking it gives you a solid chunk. If something is handing you your rear end it can buy you quite a bit of time.

People are already super salty that the Bloody Palace update doesn't have any of the things that Capcom never said it would have or hinted at in any way. Like... people. Just because something was discovered in a datamine doesn't mean that it's "in the game" and that the devs just don't want you to have it. Co-op is hard to balance and requires an infrastructure to maintain. The playable Vergil in the game's files is incomplete and positively anemic compared to the other playable characters in terms of moves and mechanics. Sometimes as a developer, you want to do something and it just doesn't work out. Game files are constantly littered with leftovers of grand ambition that just didn't quite make it. Datamines rarely turn out to be roadmaps of the future; more often, they're just broken relics of the past.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


V doesn't really resemble Adam Driver to me because his torso isn't a solid rectangular prism.

V's face model just happens to look a bit like Adam Driver and in the transition to polygon triangle land his whole face got a bit... puffier, so to speak, which took him much closer to Kylo Ren Cosplay.

Yes, yes he is (his name is Owen Hamze)

edit: The characters and their face models for comparison:



Karlo Baker, Nero
Adam Cowie, Dante
Owen Hamze, V
Emily Bador, Nico
Ariana Damant, Trish
Andrea Tivadar, Lady

No idea who Vergil's face model is unfortunately.
