Thoughts/Opinion: DmC: Devil May Cry (Demo)

Image
When I first saw the reveal trailer for the Devil May Cry reboot I couldn't be more excited. After my time with Devil May Cry 4 I was left wondering when I'd see Dante again. In the upcoming DmC: Devil May Cry developed by Ninja Theory the studio decided to create a different origin story for Dante, making him younger and changing his look--to the dismay of many fans who have come to see Dante with his iconic white hair--now black.  I'll make this short. I'm fully behind Ninja Theory with this reboot. Dante may not look the same (not that it ever bothered me) but it feels like a Devil May Cry game. After playing the recently released demo a few dozen times I've come away with a few things. The first, the game looks beautiful. Being pulled from a drab, lifeless real world to the world of Limbo is where the game really pops. Limbo feels like it has a life of it's own and really adds to the over-the-top flare that we've all come to love about Devil May

Updated: DmC Vergil's Dowfall Pre-order DLC

Image
Well it seems that the DLC isn't an exclusive like I had originally thought. Those who pre-order from Gamestop will receive a code to redeem the DLC for free when it is released while others will have to pay 720MSP/$8.99 on the Xbox 360 and PS3 respectably.  Original Post: It seems like the twin we all love (or hate) will be receiving an exclusive piece of DLC as a pre-order bonus. Pre-ordering from Gamestop will not only net you the Samurai Weapon Pack but it will also give you access the Vergil's Downfall DLC. If you have no plans on getting it from Gamestop then expect to wait awhile before you can play it. The game is out January 15th. Now remember I mentioned a demo for the game, well I found an article (I think on x360a.org) that stated it would drop on November 20th. Now there's no confirmation but keep an eye out, the 20th is a week away.
