Forums - Gaming - Devil May Cry demo now on XBLM, drops onto PSN later today

The demo of Ninja Theory's Devil May Cry reboot is now up on Xbox Live for Gold members. PS3 owners have to wait until later today for it to arrive on PSN, unless they're in Europe in which case they'll have to sit on their hands until tomorrow*.

There are two missions in the demo, one of which features a (probably ridiculous) boss battle. One completion of the demo makes the Son of Sparda difficulty available. The full game roars onto Xbox 360 and PS3 on January 15, 2013, and PC at a later date.

*Or bide the time however they choose, we're not picky

Why a demo so early? 2 months til release, that's a long time.

Anyone tried it yet?

My guess is they are hoping that by putting the demo out early it will give people time to get used to the make over and get word of mouth out that alls good , then again it could backfire big time , but knowing how full of themselves Ninja Theory  can sometimes be , that later  prospect wouldn't have entered their minds.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

I tried it out, it's not bad. It doesn't control as well as Devil May Cry 1 or 3, the platforming elements are annoying due to that.



Just finished the demo, this game is a must buy. Fuck the old DMC, the gameplay in this is deeper, the animations are better and the character feels more personable. It's one of those things where you don't know until you play the game. Now I know, this is a all around better product.

I love the new platforming elements, they were quite fluid for me. It just has a learning curve. I am a hack n slash fanatic, so I picked it up relatively quickly. Combos in this take more skill (especially the air ones). Everything comes down to proper timing. After playing this, I feel like the old DMC fed combo moments to me and this is just one more hill to climb to get more skillful.



Can;t wait to play from the what Ive seen the gameplay looks better than past entries.



Can't wait to try it!!



All of this, of course, is just my opinion.
