New DmC Stage Demo Video, Trailer Show Combat and Platforming Action

12/08/2011 Written by Nick Michetti

Capcom and Heavenly Sword developer Ninja Theory are working on a reboot of classic action video game franchise Devil May Cry, DmC. Capcom has released two new videos — a stage demonstration from Tokyo Game Show and a new trailer released today — that show the game’s combat as well as some of its platforming action.

The first video below is the TGS stage demonstration and is called “The Fight.” The video shows Dante and a mysterious female companion walking together before Dante suddenly finds himself inside a world he refers to as “Limbo.” Dante uses number of combat moves, including one that uses a chain to pull enemies towards him so that he can inflict damage. The demo ends with the world tearing itself apart to try to stop Dante from progressing.

The second video, a trailer called “The Escape,” shows Dante narrowly avoiding death and destruction as the world tries to crush him. The final part of the video shows Dante using some platforming skills, including using his chains to help him traverse from area to area. A bit of platforming was seen in the original Devil May Cry for PS2.


 


DmC is in development for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

    This DMC is a radical departure from what we have come to know as Devil may cry. i mean yes its a reboot but wow. i think this new dante and the back story is not going to go well since the original has been etched in our gaming minds.
    i mean dante doesn’t even look like dante he looks more emo.

    on the upside.. the game does look beautiful graphically even in development form..im deffo gonna get this when it arrives.

    I think it wud be a great classic game to remake but what about any tenchu games why not remake any of those.

  3. Hmm ‘Heavenly Sword’ looks better(Graphics wise)& that game is a couple of years old now.

    wow i was not pleased that they made a new start on dmc but it looks ok but i just want to see for real a demon form

  5. scripted event with a little bit of platforming just like Enslaved…this isn’t Devil May Cry
    as for the graphics,it’s unreal engine….enough said,great direction though

  6. Hmm.. Different, but familiar.. I like it.
    I’m not Too put off by the emoish Dante…so long as he still kicks some major ass.
