Wait a second -- that headline doesn't make any sense! Regardless, Capcom has announced that the PSN demo of Devil May Cry 4 will be available "early 2008." How early that will be is anyone's guess. According to the press release: "The demo introduces gamers to the gothic-inspired supernatural world of Devil May Cry 4, new protagonist Nero and the awesome power of his Devil Bringer. The demo consists of a sampling of sections from the full game, chosen to showcase Devil May Cry 4's varied locales and allows gamers to familiarize themselves with Nero's unique abilities."

To get the hype machine rolling again for DMC, Capcom has also sent us a huge update of screenshots, which we've added to our gallery. They show off Dante's new weapon, "Lucifer," which fires mystical swords at enemies. The swords will also explode when Dante throws a red rose. Typical of an anime character, no? Also, you'll see Nero battling a new enemy dubbed the "One Winged Dark Knight."

Devil May Cry 4 will also be on display at New York Anime Festival this weekend.

Am I the only person who thinks this game doesn't look nearly as nice as it did when first saw it. It's almost like it looks dated in light of the visually amazing games coming out today.

I hope Dante's part in the game feels substantial... I'm still not entirely sold on the new emo kid.

I hope the ladies are playable, too.

i'll say it before, and i'll say it again, i really wish companies would stop hyping up games like, 2 years in advance. i've been hearing and reading about this game for so long now that i don't even care anymore. and i agree with #1, it doesn't look nearly as good as it could, and that again, is because of all the hype early on. by the time we get our hands on it, after months and months of screen shots and stories, it will already seem dated. sad part is, i love the DMC series.
