From what I've seen in the trailers & heard from others,I'm getting hopeful about the idea of Vergil's being alive and i think we'll get to play his character in DMC4.Ido hope he has his own plot,though.It would be EXTREME fun if we can have the opportunity to see the story from both dante & vergil's point of view.Just recently, the Japanese magazine Famitsu Capcom Vol. 2 unveiled that Dante would be older in this latest release and that he should even be supporting a more rugged look,which means its events would occur after DMC2.In that case i wonder why Vergil wasn't in DMC2.
