So this guy at 4Chan claims he tested the game.

So there is no lock on button? WTH What kind of rubbish H&S does not have a lock on button? WTH NT?

The best hack and slash needs no lock on. Ninja Gaiden and bayonetta have none.

 

[RedSword]

Actually, Bayonetta does have lock on, but most advanced players don't use it.

Silly peoples, the greatest Hack and slash was the one I made up
Phoenix Wright : Stopping the forgery

You play as Phoenix Wright as the mafia tries to stop you from investigating a series of murder cases that they are somehow connected to, you beat the crap out of them with the Samurai Spear (from his 3rd case) and then use traditional Phoenix Wright gameplay to investigate the crime scenes. In the 13th and final case you find the connection.

gameplay consist of using the Samurai Spear, hot coffee, and text bubbles to chain combo's together to drive off the mafia. Complete with launcher attacks, heavy attacks, light attacks, and ranged attacks.

well, the game looks awesome, but I'm not sure how this can work without lock-on. He obviously does moves like high rise, that needed you to push lock-on, back and sword, but how will this one go? How do you alternate between different moves tied to one button?

Oh God !!!
Please tell me that Mundus parts NOT TRUE !!!

Agreeing. I can't imagine older DMC's without this one of signature features.

i think NT should make this auto lock on thingy disable-able if you know what i mean.

well, sure, but what then?

Well then we have both so according to a certain internet meme we have a mexican fiesta

 

[JessenReinhart]

well, sure, but what then?

then, we can play both ways.

Ok, I've simmered down a bit now. After re-watching the gameplay again it looks like we'll have to hold down the buttons for the alternate "lock on" attacks. e.g. y=attack LS toward enemy+hold down y=stinger (continue hold down=million stabs?) So while we may have to learn some new muscle memory at least we won't lose any complexity there. I can live with it.

I just hope SELECT (BACK on the 360) is taunt.
I really wanna see Dante's taunts.

L3+R3 is the Devil Trigger? Isn't that the same for GoW's Spartan Mode?

mhm, im pretty sure dt will remain LB or L1 because unlike the 4chan guy's control scheme in the demo footage they only showed RB as evade.

 

[berto]

A guy at IGN posted the same R3+L3 from a different source, it might be true.

"Why you'll love new dante,whether you want to or not"

This statement is disturbing in some levels.Especially for fanboys and fangirls.

i agree, people don't have to like the new dante if they don't want to, also the guy writing the article is wrong on some things. for example jump canceling has not been ditched, it's in the game and we've seen it in the latest demo footage.
