The game’s exceptionally human character models, the way they turned real world costumes into game assets, the highly-detailed environments also hold up and feel at home on the next-gen machines.Ĭhoosing the like-for-like graphical experience, DMC5 SE can target a full 2160p at 60fps on the new consoles, but it can also go much further than that. Capcom have taken their already cutting edge RE Engine and sharpened it even further. Of course, he can also transform, stabbing himself in the stomach to pull V from his body and perform all of V’s summons at once, or morphing into his demon form through the use of his Sin Devil Trigger.Īs well as new content, the Special Edition offers some new technical flourishes to savour as a release that’s exclusively targeting the next generation PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Staying still in combat and not moving unless necessary plays into Vergil’s character, boosting the power of whatever weapon you’re currently using. Vergil’s unique Concentration gauge also returns, rewarding players that approach the game with considered action as opposed to the button mashing that I (to my discredit) often find myself slipping into in action games. His Devil Trigger, meanwhile, summons a doppelgänger with a Yamato that will try to mirror your moves with the main Vergil, doubling your potential damage output for a short time. He has three weapons to choose from, the Yamato blade, Beowolf gauntlets and the Mirage Edge in place of the Force Edge. Those who’ve played Vergil in previous Special Editions will find that an awful lot about him is familiar. This is a proper return to form for the series, something that fans of both can get behind. The silly arguments on whether the original DMC or DmC is better can stop now, because DMC5 is here and it’s bloody brilliant. I’ve never been fantastic at maximising this in previous games, but something clicked in DMC5. Stringing together combos, swapping weapons mid-combat and utilising different abilities raises the classic style rating that pops up on the right hand side when you do something cool.
