Devil May Cry 5 Second Demo (PS4/X1): Up on Xbox/PSN now
- Thread starter R.T Straker
- Start date
Between DMC5 and Bayonetta 3 we're heading into a new golden age of action. It's so good to see the creativity flow again.
Had to check who V was. That combat certainly looks different.
Question -
Are there health packs/first aid kits or something that refills your health gauge? Thanks.

There's green orbs either on the enemies or in the environment. The front of the cathedral at the end of Goliath has some show up as the area keeps getting destroyed.
Charge em up -> use any movement based attack (Streak etc) -> let go of charge
Also did you guys notice the smokin sick snack shack? xD
I'm not saying this to troll I can assure you but I was very disappointed with the first demo compared to the feeling of Bayonetta and Nier. I was genuinely shocked at how sluggish it felt especially since it's 60fps. Maybe that's just the DMC feel (I haven't played one since the original on PS2) and it's not going for the same sort of really responsive feel. Does the second demo feel much the same?
Yeah HDR on Pro looks fantastic. Much better than Re2 which had that washed out look.
It's not going for the Nier/Bayonetta feel but DMC5 is extremely responsive (way more responsive than Nier IMO). The Xbox version has framerate issues though, PS4 version is better in that regard. But I think the issue here is the general feel of DMC, you need to execute moves on demand so you feel better and more in rhythm with the combat. You can't just mash on Triangle, press O occasionally and expect it to feel good. Like if you aren't using Exceed system then your moves are going to feel slow since Exceed speeds them up, if you aren't cancelling moves into specials and specials into enemy step then you are going to be met with laggy recovery on moves. But even with that, DMC5 is a very precise and responsive game.

All this sweet tech coming out with only 4 devil breakers out of what like 15? Nero is looking more hype that i thought. Even without max act yet and devil trigger if he has one
No it's 8 standard devil breakers and a few weird ones like the Megaman Breaker arm.
You can't actually charge during attacks anymore, there needs to be a gap in between somewhere. Like he can charge during stuff like jump, rolling or certain recoveries but not in the middle of an attack like before. Just need to find specific gaps in combat where you can charge up. You can probably try setting Gun Shot to L1 and Breakaway to R2 or [] though.
I don't know if that's true, I've charged shots during breakages.

Those are some of the exceptions. What I mean is that you can't charge while you are in the middle of a Streak animation but there are some moves with enough recovery where you can. It takes some experimentation to know when you can charge and when you can't.
You forgot the air taunt and that the jump invulnerability also applies to enemy step and Air Hike. And technically Shuffle is included too as the back dash should have some i-frames too.
Thanks! I will try to do this.
Amazing! You got a new subscriber.
Those games are very different to devil may cry, and peoples response to dmc5 is just making me appreciate the genius of bayonetta more.
Bayonetta has an extremely low skill floor in terms of playing the game with an enjoyable flow, Nero has a much higher skill floor. Its really easy to see why when you look at what happens when you launch an enemy in each game.
In bayonetta, you jump ->kick, immediately the enemy is in the air and you are following them, attacking them all the way till you hit the ground. And you just keep going, because the flow of the game just revolves around kicks, punches, dodges and jumps.
Nero has a much higher skill floor in terms of playing the game smoothly. You launch the enemy into the air and follow them, you do one combo and heres the big difference, you and your enemy are no longer in the same place.
- If you did aerial combo, the opponent is smashed into the ground, whilst you are slowly falling
- If you did roulette, the opponent is above you, whilst you are slowly falling
I was debating including shuffle and the air taunt in but i wanted to stick to the simple stuff and keep it short and simple. I'm giving enemy step its own video though so i will talk about the i-frames in that video
lol do people really not read the skill list
You forgot "And destroy your hands"
The skill doesn't tell you the breakaway pattern in regards to enemy movement.
Also. No. People don't read the skill list. I really really really wishes they did.
Press down on the touchpad if playing on PS4 or the view button if playing on Xbox.
No you don't buy taunts, the taunts that show up depend on your stylish rank.
Yea basic physics does. The "timing" is important because ya know.... the rocket is moving around, and the enemy gets knocked away from the rocket. I dont think force is a tech that needs pointing out xD
This and Sekiro in the same month WHEW.
Pure fucking fun.
Nice job man. I can get S ranks pretty easily but not triple SSS all the time.
I'm just imagining a remake of DMC3 in this engine. Would be amazing.
Where do you see this? I must have missed it.This and Sekiro in the same month WHEW.
Pure fucking fun.
Ayyyy, thanks man. Got good at EX act again and it became a cakewalk.
Press Square on the results screen
Am I the only one who had an issue with the camera against the boss in front of the cathedral? I have all the camera options off and every time I rotate the camera so I can check the area for health, it automatically rotates back behind the character. It's very annoying because instead of fighting only the enemy, im fighting both the enemy and the camera. UGH.
Otherwise, enjoyed the demo for the most part even though im not that good in it. Was able to get the boss health down to 1/3rd but damn, the camera not staying put when I move it kills me every time. :(

Great stuff with these, remember to post it in the OT to help newer players out :)
I played the demo again using some tips from this thread and fared way better. I'm not really a fan of this type of game, only finished 1 (at least I think I did, back in the day) and played the sequels for a bit. I tried to play Bayonetta last year and could only play 4 chapters before giving up. I was having no fun. DMCV looks really attractive to me and I'm willing to put a bigger effort to learn all the systems. Still deciding if I'm grabbing it day 1.
I think for many people, DMC5's production values and presentation look really attractive and will probably carry the game for them. My mates are picking the game up purely based on trailers alone despite never playing a DMC game so it's all good.
