The Devil May Cry 4
playable demo hits both the PLAYSTATION Store and Xbox LIVE
Marketplace this Thursday, January 24, 2008.Devil May Cry 4 has been rated M for
Mature by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB).
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, allowing gamers to familiarize themselves with Nero’s unique abilities.
Players will receive instruction on the various new actions that the Devil
Bringer bestows, such as the ability to slam creatures to the ground, cover
great distances in a single bound or even grab enemies while on the ground or in
the air and pull them towards Nero to continue an attack combo. The Exceed
system allows Nero to "rev up" his sword as if it were a motorcycle throttle and
unleash devastating attacks. Players will need to master all these techniques
before the end-of-demo showdown with the mighty Berial.
Fully demonstrating the power of the
next generation of consoles, the Devil May Cry 4 demo brings to life the coastal
city of Fortuna and its surroundings in exquisite detail, such as the port and
the snow-capped mountain ranges. Devil May Cry 4 delivers its intense action at
a constant 60 frames per second at 720P resolution on HD monitors, ensuring
seamless and breathtaking gameplay in stunning high definition.
