Devil May Cry 4: Art and info pummels

[wraggster]

The first Devil May Cry 4 artwork - along with new PS3 gameplay details - has finally trickled onto the internet, thanks to the official website opening of Capcom's latest devil slash 'em-up this morning.

As we revealed earlier in the week, DMC4 has you playing not as Dante but a new character, Nero. The story - which is said to feature more heavily in the fourth instalment - puts you in a city called Fortuna, where you're apparently out to resurrect the legendary dark knight Sparda. In an odd twist, this puts Dante - who is out to stop your plans - in the role of the bad guy, and some explosive scuffles are no-doubt in the making.

Gameplay-wise Nero has many new combat abilities that differ from Dantes, the most notable of which is the 'Devil Bringer' ability, which lets you 'grapple' enemies towards you with your fancy, glowing arm. Speaking in the latest Famitsu magazine, the game's director said that this is one way the development team are allowing combos to extend beyond when all the badguys have died, as you can move and rearrange enemies at will with Devil Bringer.

Nero's not a new character, that's Dante's brother after he started working for Mundus, Great info though, thanks!
EDIT: Sorry, just saw who this "Nero" is, doesn't look like it's Virgil after all.
