Yuji Shimomura is once again directing the cutscenes
- The main character is Nelo Angelo AKA Vergil, Dante's brother.
- The gameplay systems will be similar to the games before this
- Takes place between DMC1 amd DMC2
- 60fps...at least the TGS demo will be.
- Besides guns and swords you also use Nero's right arm to pull off devil actions with the "Devil Bringer", its an ability that the PS2 could not handle
- The TGS playable demo will have you playing Nelo as well.

-Nero has devilish right arm. He can draw enemies toward himself and then throw them.
He starts to realise his powers in DMC4. DMC4 portraits Nero when he earns his powers and hereafter.
- They chose Nero because Dante was overused (3 games) & they wanted to put the new users and the old fans in the same starting line for DMC4.
- Nero looks like Dante because the silver hair and red coat is more like a symbol to the DMC series/
- "Dante is grim and he can't settle down. As story progresses the situation changes, how's that?" says Kobayashi meaning that Dante might be playable.
-They introduced the right arm draw-throw system because in DMC3 when you beat the enemies, combos brake. Besides expect the sword and weapons this system provides multiple choises and the fun expands, However depending on the enemy you can't draw and throw everyone of them.
- The combo system has as base the one from DMC3 & they are revising/reworking details according to the fans' comment-remarks.
-Nero's sword has a bar. The sword has somekind of a driving force in it. It's a new way/element to enjoy the sword handling.
-In TGS there will be real time footage.

-Nero is a knight within the Order of the Demon Blade, a religious order which protects the secrets and powers of demons from the world.
- There's no indication that he is the Vergil that we know from DMC3 and DMC1.
- The game is set in a huge city known as Fortuna.
- The people here believe that Sparda is a god, and the Order that Nero works for wants to undo Sparda's seal.
- It is for this purpose that Nero ends up in this city, but here his entire unit is slaughtered
by the demon hunter Dante.
