But how would that work? Nero can only use the Yamato in his Devil Trigger, not through use of his Devil Bringer. So... you mean he could only use more weapons if he were in Devil Trigger mode? That sounds kind of annoying, tbh. He'd only be able to use weapons for a few seconds before they disappeared along with his DT.
The weapons system could be the same as DMC3 for Nero. Two devil arms that you're able to switch between although one has to be Red Queen. And around four other unlockable Devil Arms. As for the firearms, the same thing, requiring Blue Rose and another gun. I think we should give Nero the supernatural firearms (Artemis, Nightmare B in past games) and give Dante the military-like guns like the bazooka, shotgun, etc. And give Nero and Dante respective advantages like for example Dante had mobility and Vergil had raw power (in terms of DMC3).
Seems like a good idea. Reminds me of Vergil in DMC3. Very appropriate.
Yeah, everything points to Nero being related to Sparda in some profound way.
But the process would take 2000 years. Although I do see where you're going at because there was the "Mundus Vinvendi" easter egg in DMC4.
Gunblade? That looks SSStylish! Maybe give it a "gun stinger" move like Coyote A. And I imagine Nero would use Yamato out of DT in a DMC5.
The DB is a nice mechanic, but I'm not sure it can make up for Nero's lack of combos. With Nero, I really keep returning to the same old four or five attacks, and it's not enough to make for riveting gameplay. Devil May Cry is all about combos, and Nero doesn't quite deliver. Maybe if the DB can change into different forms it could do combos, but right now all I see is that it can be used to throw enemies on the ground, fling them away, that sort of thing. Basically, it's just an arm with some ethereal stretching and grabbing abilities, and it probably wouldn't make sense to change the DB's abilities into things like sword strikes or whips. So the only option, in my opinion, would be to give him a few more weapons, or maybe just two or three weapons that can fulfill several functions.
You think Lady or Trish couldn't do combos? I don't see why not. But anyway, I didn't mean Trish and/or Lady should be playable - I don't want that. Also, if Nero is to become the protagonist of DMC, his gameplay should focus on combos -- DMC is about combos, it isn't Mega Man. Almost everybody felt disappointed by Nero's lack of combos, so yeah, I think something should change about Nero's gameplay. The DB is cool, but it doesn't help his combos all that much. A few more abilities for the DB at the very least would be nice. But still, it's only an arm, and logically all it would be able to do is punch enemies, throw them away or pull them towards him. If Capcom wants to turn his arm into something that can animate Angelo armors somehow by getting into them, that could work. If not logical, it could still be interesting.
