Vergil Gameplay.

Given the games controls, Vergil's playstyle can't be all that different from Dante's in execution, otherwise they invite too much confusion within his two-to-three hours of playtime.

Triggers most likely change his combat style between fast Iaido strikes (stantard), heavy strikes (Demon Mode), and wide angle strikes (Angel Mode). Using the Shoot key logically controls his Summoned Swords.

His Air Trick is probably done by holding in one of the triggers and pressing the Shoot key, like how Demon Pull/Angel Lift work for Dante.

It's entirely possible that the D-Pad won't even get used because he might not get any other weapons, but having the three different sword styles and his ranged options is still good enough.

The doppleganger is either his version of a Devil Trigger, or it's part of one of his Modes, where it just adds more strength to the attacks in place of using a heavier style or weapon.

I realized in the trailer it says you unlock new weapons so perhaps the triggers change his style and the directional buttons change his weapons?
 
It said "Unlockables," but they didn't say more than that...it could be different items, or it could be more artwork and stuff.
 
Damn, I can't decide which one is better.
Vergil normal look we saw in his first trailer and the one in the background of this forum. which is the calm guy look we used to know since DMC3.
Or the demonic look of him we saw in his story mode. it was like half old Dante and half old Vergil (and Nelo Angelo) style in one character which is awesome.

They both are amazing. I hope in the beginning of his story mode we play as the normal look and then the demonic look.
 
well this certainly does look good.

I have said in the past that I was ok with the new rebooted Vergil more so than I was with the rebooted Dante since In my honest opinion I think NT did a good job in the redesign for him in comparison to Dante.

But The only thing I didn't care much for was his new attitude.

But judging by the name of the DLC "Vegil's Downfall" and by some of the newer more dark and menacing pictures of him, I would have to believe that he is about to become a lot more cold and dark similar to his old self which is good news.

Glad he apparently isn't going to be staying as a good brotherly love kind of character lol.

It would be a cool transition, and by the name of the DLC I have a feeling we will start out as a more calm collective Vergil, but he will slowly descend into madness.

That's true it doesn't say it in the trailer, but on the official Capcom blog it says you will get weapons unique to Vergil, so I'm guessing they mean new weapons.

I'm not too sure, the only mention of weapons is "And since it's a different chapter, Vergil's Downfall brings new enemies to the table - which you can then slice and dice with weapons and combos that are unique to Vergil." which doesn't really mean he'll get more weapons, just that what we use is stuff exclusive to Vergil.

But hey, I usually tend to sit at the cautious end. I'd rather be surprised than disappointed :p

That's what characterization of layered multifaceted characters is when done right. This Vergil has many sides and faces as a real person does. He's not just stoic and slightly angry stoic anymore and...
HOLY S#IT! iT JUST HIT ME... VERGIL'S REALLY PLAYABLE!!!!!

Sorry. I had a delayed reaction to awesomeness. (Takes breath)

But, honestly. This just came right the f#ck out of left field did'nt it? You know this means... We can't assume to know what to expect with regards to this game anymore. Man... I need to think for a bit. I'm all Verklempt . Talk amongst yourselves... I'll give you a topic: Vergil is neither a Verge nor a Jill...

That's true he might not get any, and yeah we should be cautious so we're not disappointed.
 
Heck, I already consigned myself to the thought that Vergil wouldn't be playable in DmC, and this is certainly an awesome surprise :3
 
Can't get my hands on the DLC. It's release will be in February, right? ^_^

When Vergil was announced a few months ago, I thought that he'll be just part of the story and not a playable character. But like everyone else here, I was surprised and I jumped for joy at the same time that Vergil is now playable. Like I said, it's 2006 all over again. But things are now better.

I honestly believe that the setting of the DLC is after when dante beat vergil or mundus. That means we'll automatically plays as him where he is cold and mad already.

Personally, I still prefer Dante :x
 
Guys, I know I'm bringing this up a lot,

But Crows.
They appear in this trailer and in limbo and in the first ever DmC trailer. It's crazy.
 
Spiders are also all over the place, too. You can shoot at them like Phantom Babies and such in earlier games.

And crows are often used to represent passage of people from one plane to the next...

Vergil has way too much moves...I guess you can toggle his moves by the RL2 triggers.
But the thing of this ganger is that it doesn't act as the same as Vergil. Which is quite curious.
It even goes charging the enemies behind Vergil like a mile away.

When I showed to one of the members of the Japan DMC community they really went crazy.
like
"They finally gave Vergil his own story! What took them so long?"
"They gave him power all right. I think our annual community tournament will be thrown into chaos with everyone playing Vergil again"
"I thought this was a PC exclusive or something so I was saving my money! FXXK YOU capcom you made my winter holiday a mess! lol."

So they're already planning tournaments for DmC? Could you please keep us posted about it?
