Know your Demons: Nero and Dante on DMC 4

Nero and Dante


Certainly, all the buzz on the upcoming Devil May Cry game is all on the new hero, Nero. Sure, he's a young guy with a demon growing out of his right hand. Some even speculate that this dashing silver-haired hero could be a reincarnation of Dante's older brother, Vergil. Well, until the game comes out, we could only speculate, but at least you can keep on brewing your theories with some new-found hint about the story.

Now, it seems that Nero is not some half-devil incarnate like the brothers Dante and Vergil. Instead, he is a human whose right hand is actually possessed by a demon. At the beginning of the game, this demon hand lies dormant. However, when a demon beckons another demon, it cannot help but to answer the other's call. Because of this, Nero actually goes to what is loosely translated as a "Demon Institute" to learn how to control his demon.

In this institute, he received the Red Queen and the Blue Rose. These two weapons work hand in hand as the Red Queen is equipped by the demon hand, while the Blue Rose provides a support for the other. The perfect combo would include throwing your Red Queen to the ground and shooting the demon down as you descend.

The Demon Institute trained Nero (and perhaps other students as well) in controlling their demons by using various weapons. It seems that in this timeline, there are more people who are possessed or inflicted with Demon troubles. It's large enough for them to even have a festival about it (hence you see the lovely Kyrie singing in front of everybody).

Now where does Dante come in? Apparently, Dante is the usual reckless nut who likes messing up the party. He actually goes to the institute and slays everyone that comes his way. His intentions are still unclear, but for sure we know that he's not keen about this whole Demon Institute and is out to get the person behind it all.

Naturally, Capcom won't be giving us the whole DMC Conspiracy, but from the looks of it, we're sure to have another hellish experience with DMC4. Here's me hoping that Vergil pops out in the game.

 » Hmm
This is just a complete guess on my part but maybe...

Devil May Cry 4 is like Metal Gear Solid 2

We get a to play as Nero who we probably won't like as much as Dante (but hopefully Nero won't have a high pitched voice and have girlfriend trouble in the middle of all his killing), but we'll get to see Dante in the game and eventually fight along side him once he unveils what's really going on.

Anyone elses thoughts?
