 A downloadable demo of Devil May Cry 4 should be available over Xbox Live Marketplace and the Playstation Store in early 2008, Capcom announced in a press release today. The demo will showcase new protagonist Nero over a variety of locales before culminating in a battle against Berial. Players can use a variety of the new abilities bestowed by Nero’s devil bringer in the demo, including “the ability to slam creatures to the ground, cover great distances in a single bound or even grab enemies while on the ground or in the air and pull them towards Nero to continue the attack combo.”
 Capcom also announced a new weapon, named Lucifer, which fires glowing red swords that pierce enemies and explode when Dante throws a rose, which he holds between his teeth. Kay. Capcom also announced a new boss, One Winged “Dark Knight.”
Keep in mind the game is scheduled for a February 2008 release, so it’s entirely possible the demo will come out in very close proximity to the game. The press release says players will have a chance to play the demo before purchasing the game, but whether that means the demo is coming out before the game or not is unclear.
Capcom also released a bunch of hi-res screenshots and some artwork, so look for those and the full press release after the jump.

Filed under PC News on October 26th, 2007 The release of the Crysis demo has been set to Saturday for the people who did not pre-order (Us). If you did the pre-order the Crysis demo will be exclusively available for about 24hours via the EA downloader. On Saturday, October 27th the demo will be put online for download an all public sites.
Maybe I am confused, but aren’t demos designed to promote sales of games? How much of an incentive is a demo as a pre-order bonus anyway? Let alone 24 hours of a demo?
I am going to put this in the “WTF was EA thinking!†category. Well it now looks like the some who’ve pre-ordered are currently unable to grab the demo and / or unlock it.
Anyway, if you’re planning to download the demo, you should also get the new ForceWare Beta Drivers (v169.01). Here are some highlights about this updated driver:
- Beta driver for GeForce FX, 6, 7, and 8 series GPUs.
- Recommended driver for Crysis single player game demo.
- Several game and application compatibility fgbixes. Please read the release notes for more information on product support, features, driver fixes and known compatibility issues.
