DESCRIPTION

The fourth installment of Capcom's gothic action series is the first to feature a new protagonist: Nero, who enters battle with a double-barreled revolver called the "Blue Rose" and an ornate sword known as the "Red Queen." He is also a card-carrying member of the Order of the Sword, an organization systematically dismantled by former series protagonist, Dante. Nero's power is not limited to his distinctive weapons, however. Nero's right arm, a.k.a. "the devil bringer," is imbued with an ethereal glow and is a source of supernatural strength. The demonic appendage lets him perform feats of agility not possible by mere mortals, such as grabbing enemies from afar, slamming them into the ground, spinning them overhead, or initiating various other context-sensitive moves.

Players can once again freely switch between melee and projectile attacks to string together elaborate combos, with bonus points awarded for style. By varying his attacks and minimizing the damage received in each level, Nero will earn "Proud Souls" to spend on sword combos, bullets, and improved attributes. Fans of earlier versions can still collect health-enhancing orbs from defeated enemies and initiate "devil trigger" transformations for temporary boosts in speed and power. Throughout his demon-slaying journey, Nero must solve environment-based puzzles and confront towering boss creatures, with each conquest allowing him the opportunity to upgrade his powerful arm. Dante is also playable at certain points in Devil May Cry 4, which according to producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi, features more content than the first three titles combined. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

Devil May Cry 4 (PS3) by: son-of-ottie

“I really like this game. I enjoy the puzzle aspect as well as the button mashing good time. Plus, the graphics are really nice even though it is only rendered in 730p. (NOTE TO DEVS...MAKE THE DANG GAMES IN 1080i/p AS AN OPTION! Jeez, don't get me...”

“Thanks for the post! Glad that we could be apart of the journey... thanks for being a part of our journey as well. Hopefully you will like the new site after Wed and the PSN support! :)”

“Pretty impressive (and cool of you to share). You should add me on PSN -- my name's TheSmokingManX on there. I think you're dominating me in the Trophies department -- certainly in Platinums, of which I have none.”

grumblybear was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@ChangeAgent You know it! Very excited about the new stuff.
@TheSmokingManX Go ahead and add me (grumblybear) as I won't be on my PS3 until Tuesday or so.”

“That is some insane gaming dude. I'm glad that you're on my PSN your not some d-bag like most guys on Xbox Live but someone that likes games for the experience and not the dominance and competition. I'll take my Playstation Loyalist trophy now.”

“Yowza! That's one prolific summer of gaming... and all (what seem to be) top notch games. With PSN integration and some new profile game specific redesigned pages coming... I can see your gamerDNA profile starting fire from all the activity and viewers.

I'd like to 3rd @ChangeAgent and @TheSmokingManX in saying... thanks for sharing. Very cool.”

“@NCRAM88 @alphadoque Thanks for the words! I'm glad people are interested!

I look forward to more gaming activities from all of you.”

“Since we became friends on GamerDNA, I've been impressed by your gaming activity on here and a little jealous as I seem to always have something else to do! But reading your post has made me determined to get stuck into my backlog of games! I'll have to aim for a winter of gaming! Great post grumblybear and well done on your gaming achievement and your trophies! What did you get the platinum in, LittleBigPlanet?
Please add me to your PSN friends, my PSN name is LuckyLuxy
Look forward to your future updates!”

grumblybear was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@LuckyLuxy Thanks! Don't be too jealous, though. Classes start next week, so I won't be able to sit around ALL day and play video games. For shame! I won't have access to my PS3 until around Tuesday, so if you'd like feel free to add me (grumblybear) on PSN. I'll be sure to accept as soon as I get back to it.”

“Nice work sir! as had been echoed by @alphadoque and @changeagent, this is the kind of post we love to see here at gamerDNA. We are all avid gamers, and we really love it when people share about what they have been playing, both for posterity and for themselves.

I also want to say thanks to YOU for sticking with US while we navigate the treacherous waters of Internet Startups, new technologies, and social networks. We've certainly had our share of downtimes, slow times, and feature false-starts, but I think with the help of folks like you, we have been honing in on what we can do to make this site the place for gaming and gaming conversations.

We have been hard at work on a new deployment (should launch on Tuesday) and we had to scramble last minute to get in PSN data, but we are siked to do so, and you are the reason why. Finally PSN players can get some of the automation loving that only PC and XBOX players had on our site previously.

So thanks again, great post, and I hope you get lots more gaming in during the coming months! ”
