Bow before Dex, for he knows his shiznit!!

And he is awesome. Well done, mein adopter! Well friggin' done!

 And moses, have mercy on the little peons. This is simply a kiddy pool when compaired to the ocean of IGN, but kiddy pools have thier own advantages. Namely small, enthusiastic groups who are much better at moral support then large bodies of skeptical elitists. The best things that have happened here would never happen on IGN.
 

Hmm, good stuff here. It's impressive enough to amaze a non-DmC gamer and convince them to try DmC out.

Question, has it been proven that the pic below has nothing to do with DMC 4?

I hope it does 'cause I see Nelo Angelo and Vergil in it.

Nope, in fact some eagle eyed IGN users noticed that you could see it on the concept-art wall photo which was featured in the first diary entry. (also on the wall was DMC3SEs cover)

However, you have to remember that it's still concept art, and it was drawn at a time when the game was only 5% complete. It definitely isn't proof of anything either way, except the kind of designs and ideas the developers were considering at that time. Although, since it is still on the wall it's posisble they are still working from it in some way. (that or they just don't want to waste such a cool pic lol) 

Oh and PS: Look closer, that ain't Vergil ;) At least... not yet... I confuse even myself sometimes lol

Thanks for all the comments so far everyone, I will be away over the weekend but I'm doing my best to keep this thread up to date with all DMC4 news. I think us fans need a place like this where everything is stored together... so keep checking for news etc Just today I added all the new uber quality pics from the site to the images section, added the translatory notes for diary 6 and 7, updated the website section, and upgraded the presentational images using the recently released better quality ones. (rather than the print screened direct feed shots.)

LOL!!!!! You deserve a vacation from us!!!!LOL After all you posted so much info for us!!!!!! XD Thanks again Dexter, I'm beginning to think that I will never be able to thank you enough for taking your time to do this!!!!LOL ^_^

SHINIGAMI... d only rose among the "Thorns" LOL

You've thanked him more than enough, havn't she Dex?

If I was Dex I wouldn't need a vacation from u (as a compliment)... LOL

they said he'll be his cocky old self,well, that's what i know and Nero resembles Dante and Vergil. and you're great at researching for DMC4  and some news i read:

Devil May Cry protagonist Dante is being replaced for the fourth installment in the series, a move the game's developers explained in the new Famitsu PS2. The magazine interviewed Devil May Cry 4 producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi, whose credits include Basara 2 and the GameCube version of Resident Evil 4, and Devil May Cry series veteran Hideaki Itsuno.

Itsuno revealed some of the reasons why Dante was replaced with his younger look-alike Nero. "First of all, Dante sort of peaked out in the last game. Also, the introduction of the new protagonist, levels the playing field for veterans and new players," Itsuno told the magazine.

As for the similarities in appearance between Dante and Nero, Kobayashi gave a couple of reasons for that design choice. "The silver hair and coats are symbols that make it easier to recognize the series' protagonist," Kobayashi said. "There is also a deeper meaning [to their similarities]..."

Nero is a member of a religious group called the Kyoudan Kishi, or "Order of Knights." Kobayashi said he will have some new powers, including the abilities to pull enemies toward him or throw them. The awakening of these powers in Nero will apparently make up one of the plot elements in Devil May Cry 4. Regarding Nero's ability to pull or repel enemies, he said: "Nero's right arm uses a new system we're calling the 'Devil Bringer.' This system could have been done on the current hardware, but due to problems with the PlayStation 2's specs, it would have looked primitive. However, with the PlayStation 3 we were able to get the visual aspects right."

A close examination of the screen shots provided in Famitsu PS2 reveals a strange, life-bar-like graphic in the upper left-hand corners. Itsuno explains, "This is like the throttle and clutch on a motorcycle... The sword has a sort of will of its own. Nero has tuned it himself, turning it into a very powerful weapon. I can't talk about the specifics of the system, but we'd created a new style of game-play for the sword."

Despite the focus on Nero, it seems that he may not be the game's only playable character. When asked if it would be possible to play as Dante, Kobayashi replied with another question. "Do you want to be able to play as Dante," he laughed. "In order to proceed through the story, the player's point of view will change but...who knows?"

oh yeah and Nero's sword, Red Queen, has a handle of a motor bike, me like the design

I can only hope that it's in the game.*fingers crossed*
