No, but remember, that's a function that was already built into the auto-lock, so if you want to choose your target that way, simply release the manual lock. The whole point of the manual lock is to override auto-locking. Y'know?

So yeah, you can either click the stick to switch targets (even while in motion ::ahem::), or simply release the manual lock-on and resort to the tilting method that was present in "vanilla" DmC.

Yes, I do believe there have been some tweaks to normal enemy AI, though I don't have the full list in front of me. I'm not sure if there have been changes made to broadcast time. Will try to investigate. Whatever the case, with Gods Must Die, Must Style, and Hardcore Mode, I don't think anyone will be making legitimate complaints about the game being to lenient.

We'll have a more comprehensive change list for the core community closer to the launch of the game. I don't have all the changes in front of me now, so I don't want to say anything inaccurate. You might try reaching out to Ninja Theory though. I think we're being pretty open about what's new in the game, right out the gate.

The Angel Evade can now be executed THRICE in rapid succession, which is remarkably different. And yes, a nice little nod to Table Hopper.

>Oh, and did I spy a sped up animation for Rainstorm, or were my eyes deceiving me?

Not 100% sure about this either. That might have just been because of Turbo Mode, but it might be that they've also sped up the animation overall.

>Save Data

I don't believe save data transfers over from PS3 or 360, sorry. But that just means you get to relive the magic! Also Vergil's Downfall is unlocked from the outset.

Check out the Capcom Unity Official Podcast this Friday afternoon (via iTunes or the Capcom Unity blog). But actually no, that's not him playing in the trailer; that was actually handled by Ninja Theory themselves. They sure know their game!

And it probably bears emphasizing that Definitive Edition has been designed and developed by Ninja Theory themselves, so it's not as though their wonderful game is being reappropriated.

The mind is stronger than any muscle in your body.
Will someone please stop talking about the changes of DmC and please get discussing about Vergil appearing in DMC 4, and as a playable character with all his great glory, of using the true DarkSlayer style...and imagine what his playthrough will be like? I JUST WANT TO USE SUMMONED SWORDS THE PROPER WAY, AND HEAR DANIEL SOUTHWORTH SAYING RIDICULOUS.

Thanks so much, Greg! I figured the Hard Lock would behave as a definite hard lock, but I was just wonderin' :3 that DMC1 outfit looks so slick though! Sad we didn't get to see the Vergil skin in use in the trailer. Can you confirm/deny that it looks, so to speak..."stylish" :cool:

Now, whatchu know about a Dragon's Dogma 2? Co-op? Because if co-op, we're gonna travel Gransys together right? I'll be sure to yell out how stuff is weak to fire, for old time's sake.

It's definitely worth emphasizing because i know all the 'born again' are going to play the 'Capcom' fixed the game' card to jusitfy their newfound love for it.

A couple of them have already chimed in to let us, poor peasants, know that the game might finally be up to their godly standards. LOL. We don't need your approval.

On a side note this makes me all the more excited for Hell Blade. keep up the GREAT work NT! And thanks Greg!

Go to the DMC4 section then.

Don't mess with a Mage, bitch.
My only question........does this mean I can use my patented Arial Variable technique? (Switching between every weapon during an air combo)
