I want to see mocap footage so bad, man. I need to see Dan flapping his arms like a bird.
Dylan Wilson

his gameplay sucks
hope we get the fun vergil soon

Why do people seem to hate dmc3's Dante design? It's my favorite one.

Andrew Gomez
people think he looks too edgy
Tyler Howard
What I don't get is why DMC1's Dante design is so high ranked. It looks so cartoony with those belts.
Ethan Robinson
It makes Nero sound lamer, why couldn't they call him the Young Devil Hunter or something like that?

Here's my idea of what to do with Vergil as a character.
Instead of weapons or styles, Vergil should have summons. These summons would work as a combination of V’s familiars and reboot Vergil’s doppelganger: you would press a direction of the d-pad to activate one, and the same direction again to deactivate it; you could only have one activated at the same time; you would press circle (or R2) to have it attack; they would drain DT more slowly than Nero or Dante’s DTs, but wouldn’t restore Vergil’s health. The in-lore explanation would be Vergil experimenting in how Yamato can divide his soul; as they are derivates of Yamato they would have the East Asian theme of the Four Guardians, each one assigned to a direction in the d-pad to reflect the cardinal direction they’re assigned to.
They would be as such.
>Seiryu (Azure Dragon) [left]
A blue colored double of Vergil, it mimics Yamato’s moveset.
>Suzaku (Vermilion Bird) [down]
A red colored bird summon, similar to Griffon, very fast and has good air combat.
>Byakko (White Tiger) [right]
A purple colored tiger summon, similar to Shadow, it has a balance of air and ground moves.
>Genbu (Black Tortoise) [up]
A green colored colossus summon, similar to Nightmare, it is slow and stuck to the ground.
Outside these summons, Vergil would also have SDT. Unlike Dante, he wouldn’t need to charge it, but instead would only be accessible at max concentration. Concentration would rise steadily but slowly, but go down if Vergil is hit; like V does with his book, Vergil could become static to charge his concentration by holding L2. Its SDT moveset would consist of his elbow blades, his tail, Judgement Cut End, the jet attack and raining giant summoning swords like Hollow Vergil. During SDT summons would be unavailable, but health would recover.

I didn't notice that it was funny in the first few runs, so it gets a pass from me.
Nicholas Price
I like it a lot, but it's my least favorite among them all.
Andrew Kelly
It just looks smooth and sharp at the same time.
Jace Wood
I just hope the next console gen has more buttons on the controller by default so we can perhaps add on functions. As we’re already using everything.
Ryan Reyes
I like DMC2 "toreador" style the most.

Nero has like the whole d-pad unused and a bunch of redundant functions. Dante doesn't need any new stuff.
Grayson Evans
Isn't it 'torero'?
Luke Smith
Donte and dmc2 Dante are the only ones that look edgy. The rest look hot-blooded.
Zachary Hughes
It always bothered me how the vest and coat are two subtlety different tones of red in-game. It feels like a mistake, as if they were supposed to be the same red, but because they are two different textures, the color doesn't read the same. Ironically, it seems like too much red.
Jeremiah Carter
It cuts a sleek silhouette and it looks great in promotional art, but in-game, it's bland with washed-out colors and ridiculous shoulder pads. The look on his face is way too surly, as well.
James Robinson
could you have picked a worse picture
Jose Bennett
I feel like summons was more V's thing, I want Vergil to have some sort of new moves involving Qliphoth, now that he has eaten the fruit he needs new stuff we have not seen before.
He needs a new weapon not force edge or beowulf, but maybe a greatsword like he had when he was Nelo Angelo.
SDT for sure, but I don't want his concentration mechanic back from 4.
Also more uses of summoned swords, I like the dmc hollow vergil giant swords idea.
I feel like they could do anything with him moveset wise and just say the fruit allows him to do it.
Nathaniel Roberts
I appreciate the fact he's never coming back
Nolan Ortiz
I don't want him to get another weapon unless there's some new mechanic associated with it; otherwise it's just Dante but worse because of no Sword Master.
Zachary Martinez
The concentration mechanic was fun
