So You're Still Forced To Walk When Lock-on Is Active

[Goldsickle]

This is actually enough to make me hesitate from buying the Special Edition.

After playing games like DmC and Metal Gear Rising, it was a little difficult to get back to DMC4 when I replayed it.

 

[Foxtrot94]

Whatevs. No big deal at all for me. Honestly it seems a rather trivial reason for not buying the SE, but meh... to each his own.

And they actually made it make more sense with Vergil, since running decreases Concentration gauge. Which fits his fighting style.

The video I saw was of Vergil, so maybe by some amazing chance, it's only for Vergil.

Lock on makimg you walk doesn't interfere with fluidity considering you can teleport with both of the sparda twins to close distance and grapple with nero and lady , and if trish has her moves from 2 she will be able fly , walking won't make any difference at all imo

 

[Demi-fiend]

I knew that if Capcom changed even one detail, there would be fanboy rage. The comments on youtube threatened to start a forest fire simply because Vergil no longer had his precious "Darkslayer" style.

Well... if he can teleport to any enemy that has a Summoned Sword embedded into them, then isn't the fact that he can warp almost anywhere an improvement??

It's not really that big of a deal, when all is said and done.

Tbh, both walking and running in mid combo break fluidity, so if they make you run or walk while locking doesn't matter that much to me.

And you're right, each character has his way to get close without running or walking: Nero's got Snatch, Dante has Tricks and dashes, Vergil has Grim Trick, Trish will probably fly or use the extensive form of Sparda, a la Snatch, Lady will most likely have the grapple hook.
Without counting all the Stinger-like moves.

I don't walk in mid combat , then again I am rarely on the ground which does make a difference I spose

Well, not everyone can guard-fly like you, so...

xD it's not like Guard Fly is the only thing you can do to get close without walking or running. LOL a simple Trickster move is enough. Each character has their own ways, simple and more complicated. There's something for everyone.

I wasn't on about jc man I just meant in general I like to stay in the air, all you need is sky star the teleport and enemy step , or snatch

 

[Innsmouth]

Not a problem for me. I hated running in NG games

 

[DragonMaster2010]

Not too big of an issue. I won'tbuy it anyway since I don't dig the whole downloading full games thing.

Not likely. If it was part of the original set up, which it was, they aren't likely to change it.

It's not a deal breaker for me, though, nor even a big deal. If I have to run I don't find it that big a thing to let go of the lock on. But like Foxtrot says, if that is such deal breaker for you, to each their own.

or you could stand still, because the enemies will come to you if you're lazy...watch out for blitz though hahahahah

the enemy's in DMC4 all try and jump you, and when you attack you're not moving any further unless guard flying.

Just wait for LDK mode since rooms are flooded with foes you wont need to run.

but i saw in the game play video he teleported up and down that all Darkslayer style was
are they mad cus it doesn't specifically say "Darkslayer style"

 

[Demi-fiend]

Maybe you could work around it. You have to hold L1 to lock-on right? So, just stop holding it when you feel the need to run.

are they mad cus it doesn't specifically say "Darkslayer style"

I did say that Vergil was capable of teleporting all over the place, right? Yeah, they're mad because it doesn't specifically say Darkslayer anymore.

 

[DanteSparda08]

You do know that you can use teleport to get close to enemies without needing to use lock on right?

Walking and running around is not going to be an option since it reduces the Concentration meter, therefore Teleportation is going to be heavily used to keep it at max level. Also using teleportation as a way of dodging also is a good idea since it reduces damage, and also raises the style meter up for higher rank in SSS!

However I noticed whilst thoroughly examined Vergil's moves that Judgement Cut and Rising Dragon can be charged up to which is good for crowd control, not to mention catching up to those annoying flying metallic Angelo's, although Trick up can do just that so it's going to be abused every moment of my own Darkslayer pleasures! But above all else I just want to relearn how to use Summoned Swords again...don't get me wrong Devil May Cry HD Collection has taught me tons, but this new variation seems to be so much more fun to command, and those Blitzes look like Summoned Swords would be fun to use on!

But my fave part is the Summoned Swords Hail fall to nail enemies to the ground, and keep them there for the time being whilst I Max-Out my Concentrated Dimension Hyper Slash many of those Large Scarecrows and smaller ones too.

Oh the possibilities are endless...

wont be that easy to kill a blitz though, everything died super easy in that play trailer. fun non-the-less

Walking actually seems to build the meter.
