Unfortunately, Capcom decided to not include any other story cut scenes from their perspective.
If you choose to play as one of the three new characters, you get an intro and outro movie that’s unique to these antiheroes. Plus, players seeking a challenge will want to dive into Legendary Dark Knight mode, which turns a standard six against one battle into a mind-numbing 30-vs.-one assault.īut while these additions are a great touch for this generation of systems, DMC4SE feels more like a minor retread than the definitive edition of the game. It also boosts graphical enhancements to fully take advantage of the PS4, Xbox One, and newest PCs, which makes the in-game action and cut scenes pop off the screen.
The addition of Dante’s half-brother Vergil and the popular series demon hunters Trish and Lady provides a different adjustment to gameplay as well, since each has unique abilities that radically changes the way levels are played. This version has erased the lengthy load times that held back the original, making it faster to jump into levels and fight your way through hordes of demons that attack you.
It also includes the Legendary Dark Knight mode (originally found in the PC version of the game), which significantly increases the number of enemies in each battle, as well as a bonus Japanese language track for dialogue.įor players who may have missed the original release of DMC4, “Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition” is a great way to catch up on the series. The Special Edition also includes Vergil, Dante’s half-brother, along with series favorites (and fellow demon hunters) Trish and Lady as playable characters, each with her own special abilities and weapons. Seeking revenge, Nero tracks Dante across a large number of environments, unaware that a larger threat could destroy both of them as well as the entire world. Nero’s life is suddenly upended one day when the famous demon hunter Dante crashes a religious ceremony and assassinates the leader of the Order of the Sword as well as several of its members.
