Devil May Cry 4 Demo On Thursday

23 Jan, 2008, 12:09 pm IST | by Avinash Bali |

While Capcom’s latest Devil May Cry game is still a couple of weeks shy of its February 5 release date, the Japanese developer is allowing gamers to sample the action in the form of a single player demo that’s poised to hit both Xbox Live as well as the PlayStation Network (PSN) on Thursday, January 23.

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.
