Devil May Cry 2
A first look at what's been revealed of Capcom's tantalising sequel.
Capcom’s blue eyed, demon boy is back…

The original Devil May Cry was (and still is) perhaps the most stylish game on the PS2 to date. The game just oozed style and ‘cool’, if you were not impressed by the fantastic gothic look and the fabulously funky moves at Dante’s disposal, you probably shouldn’t be playing a PS2. So then, it’s no surprise to see Dante make his return sooner, rather than later. Good job too…
DMC2 has been in development since the original title was first launched and surprisingly, none of the original development team of DMC are working on the sequel. As strange as this may sound, we have been assured that DMC2 will be everything that the original was, plus a coffin load more. Great stuff…. but as with any big blockbuster in early production, the developers are staying very quiet, and don’t want to give too much away just yet…. damn.
So then what can we expect of Devil May Cry 2? Well, a hell of a lot if these very early indications are anything to go by. All of the original’s problems have been attended to, for a start; the game is several time larger now, which should silence the critics of the original’s longevity. DMC2 moves away from the castle of the original and instead, plunges Dante into a huge sprawling city, full of demons and other nasties. This huge city is split into two distinctly different areas; upper and lower. The upper city is a jungle of steel and glass, towering above all around it, plenty of high rise towers and skyscrapers for Dante to climb (and hopefully leap across!). The lower city comprises of small single and double story houses, very reminiscent of any small Italian village you can think of, of course the only difference being that this one is crawling with demons. Not somewhere to take the kids then. These two distinctly different areas create a very nice contrasting backdrop for DMC2, a nice break away from the very dark and gothic original. Let’s just hope that they don’t lose any of the original’s unique “va va voom” in the process…
The plot line for DMC2 hasn’t been revealed yet, however, we do know that Dante is basically trying to stop someone, or ‘something’, from raising Demons within the city. After all, who is better than the son of Sparda to stop the nasty demon things. This would be one situation where you would NOT call Ghostbusters…
Naturally, the graphics have been improved for DMC2, although the original title still looks fantastic today. Dante himself has been given an overhaul having ditched his red overcoat, and now wears a very tight-fitting jacket/cape combo. Very snazzy. Things are also crisper now, and the characters have a lot more animation per move, giving everything a more flowing feel (Dante’s new coat/cape thingy ripples wonderfully), it’s apparent even at this early stage that things are going to be incredibly beautiful.
It would also appear that Dante is not alone this time. There is another character, although it has been leaked that the character is not Trish. In fact, Trish doesn’t even appear at all in DMC2, which may come as a surprise given the ending of the original game. Capcom are remaining tight lipped about this new character, so little is known. We just hope that this doesn’t turn into a Solid Snake and Raiden style relationship!
The combat was one of the main features in DMC that made it so damnably cool. Dantes’ ability to whip out his sword, slash the enemy into the air and then juggle them with bullets from his various weapons, was simply incredible. So it comes as no surprise to learn that the combat system is receiving some heavy attention, just to ensure that it is even better. There are rumours and theories to just what the new moves for Dante shall be, but the biggest and best of them is the dual fighting method. This should hopefully let Dante fight two foes simultaneously, one arm against one foe and the other arm fighting another. Just how the developers plan to make this controllable with the dual shock remains to be seen, however…
So then. Are we all excited? Well, yes. I loved the original and this one promises to be a bigger, better and bolder game. Crikey, we’ll just have to wait until winter then, won’t we? After all it’s a hell (I’m so sorry) of a game!
Comments
this game is going to be really cool and the good news is your not in that damn castel any more so yipee, i hope. the first one was really sweet and hopefully this one will be better cause by the looks of those screen shots it looks really good
yesssss, cant wait for devil may cry 2 i loved the original.
I can't wait to see the game DMC2. It looks totally awesome, besides killer graphics, awesome character play and highly relatable characters, the DMC series has a way cool plot line! Sounds great, can't wait! ^_^
i love devil may cry. i can´t imagine other game like this! ;)
devil may cry was a brilliant game
I personally cant wait for Devil May Cry 2 to be released. I loved the original and it seems Devil May Cry 2 is going to be even more of a adrenaline rush than the first.
devil may cry is the bomb, i cant wait till dmc2 comes out ,i hope to see a dmc3 in the future!
Devil May Cry 2 is gonna be off the hook!!!
i Cnt wait till it comes out
this is so sweet i may cry, who needs other games when dmc and dmc2 are alive and kicking. i wish i were dante
i think that devil may cry is greatly cool!!i loved it since the first time i've played to
Devil May Cry was awesome. And Devil May Cry 2 looks better than the first action packed game. In November, this cool game of is mine!
" Don't come knock'n because Devil May Cry is rock'n!"- Dante
yes my middle name is really dante and I couldn't get enough of devil may cry. But I have mastered the game and gotten Super dante WITH OUT CHEATING and I still play it alot. When I saw the magazine that advertised DMC2 I instanly ran to magazine grabbed it read it all. I was so excited the dmc 2 was coming out. I tried to find out about it as much as possible but they didn't tel much about the game. So I decided I am not going to read any more stuff about it until I get the game.
i love the look of the new game and maby the new character is dantes daughter
EVERYONE i know who the new character it is dantes sister sreela i found out hell yea
the new character is sreela dante's sis
the new person is his sis or his kid
Devil May Cry is very Cool!! but when I saw the DMC2 video I was fascinated, the graphics are better and I can´t wait to play this extraordinary videogame!! DEVIL MAY CRY RULES!!..=)
The name of Dante's female sidekick is Lucia she is the descendant of the "Clan of Defense". Lucia uses two curved swords as weapon (one in each hand). Both Dante and Lucia are able to run on the wall , and they can also perform cooperation techniques.This info is 100% reliable
I thought DMC 1 was an extremely graphic and fun game to play. The storyline was a tad rusty, but other than that everthing was awesome! I'm looking forward to playing DMC 2, and kick some major butt.
This is gonna be the best game ever for ps2 I have the original and it was the best
DMC 2 is gonna be great, i can't wait untill its release, but does someone know, what's the release date of the game in europe??
I absolutly LOVE DMC so when i heard DMC2 was coming out the first words out of my mouth was "I want that."But if you noticed,in the first one trish looked like her hair had glue in it.LOL.I also heard that the name of the new girl may be Lucia or Kyara,I think those are the names....
I cant wait until this game comes out, so I cam kick some demon ass!!
I think that the original is still the best of it's genre right now and that a lot of effort is going to have to be put into DMC2 for it to advance in its 3rd person fantasy genre.
I still think that the 2 best features of DMC1 were the Combat Engine and the Polygons! The plot was at best OK and at worst...
Oh well! I'm still looking forward to DMC2 and am going to buy it the day it comes out! Straight up I will! No bull!
^-_-^
devil may cry 2 is just phat
This looks like it will be a game that I will enjoy for along time
This is going to be the best game ever! Besides slashing and killing evil, you get lush graphics with huge areas to dish out the pain. DMC fans out there, this is a must have. The badass Dante is back!
I like the implants baby
Go click and signup then
After playing the very first one, I loved every bit of it! It was the best introduction the the PS2 I could've asked for.
But it wasn't so good when it was finished, I think it was too easy, because I'm usually hopeless at completing games.
When I heard about Devil may Cry 2 I was bouncing on the walls.
Lets hope it's no let down.
you know whats better than dmc2(devil may cry2) ummm................NOTHING
the difficulty of the enemy can be arrange by the way the player play!! That sound nice, because the first game is kind of hard, then i think i will progress more this time :)
The new girl ain't Trish which is disappointing, Lucia looks pretty cool, though she don't seem to like Dante at the start (How could anyone not like Dante). I wanna see Dante do backflips, he can do that in the new game. oh and the release date for the US is January 29th 2003 for us Brits its some time in early Feb
This game is so damn good i've related my name towards it! The rock music complex repells that of the first. The buildings are wonderfully textured, and the character's models are now extractingly polished.
Now that Dante is more of a devil and the game Devil May Cry 2 has a totally different storyline is even better. The only thing i don't like is that they blew off the story of the original. I personally think that Devil May Cry 2 should've been a sequel to the beginning, make it an even better shocking experience. However, that's where Lucia comes in. I have no idea who Lucia is, but i'm guessing she's Dante's daughter. (Correct?)
But the fact even to play as two different characters with totally different combat styles and attack techniques, is truly revolting. I have beaten DMC, and i plan to beat DMC2. The only thing i never liked in he first one was the lack of numerable mission. Only 23 missions, hard and short. But now i've found that even i cant make near as good polished characters or graphics as DMC, so i'll let that slide. I just hope that the rock style music composition is graphically later than the original. I would give my life for the series of DMC. My fianl offer is that, and it's that. All hail the mighty DMC!
I cant wait till DMC2 comes out. I was a huge fan of the original and im sure the sequel is going to be even better. I just wanna know the release date! dammit! And i hope you can go inside buildings. That would be pretty kool.
i think devil may cry 2 will be the best game ever on ps2 with the combinations of guns plus swords how can they go wrong.but the only thing is it is takin too long too come out (damn shame)
approx release aus 21 march 2003
what is the real release date on devil may cry 2, please tell me,please
Man i wish there where more movies on the web on DMC2
Some sites say its out jan/01/03 and some say november and another says winter which one is real
when is the release date for the u.k.?
all i have 2 say is dat devil may cry is the best game ever made, and dat capcom should continue a devil may cry series.
actually i think the other character is Lucia
Devil May Cry was the Best game ever so devil may cry 2 will be even better. I think that girl's name is lucia and she has some kind of scyths. I like the new Demon Dante because he looks better and can kill enemies with one hit.
Thats what i have to say
I think the game will be great, but I am suspicious about how they started the second game before the first one was released, and how its a totally different team doing it.
All the improvements so far look great.
This game ought to be very good judging by the first one. Let's hope they don't screw it up!
Here are some facts on Devil May Cry 2 : it will be released in 2 disks,the dante disk and a lucia one,he can now run on walls(matrix style),and finally he can shoot at 2 enemies at once(he crosses his guns with his left hand shooting to the right and his right hand shooting left and fires like the bad-ass he is).............Cool huh these are all true facts.
You should get some more screen shots.
Devil may cry was one of the besr games of 2002 i still play it now so i cant wait for this game to come out. If you will excuse me i am goin to go play DMC right now.
i've seen the trailers from the capcom site and i've seen the images.
i've the original for about, lets see, from the first day it was on the shelves, and i'm still playing it.
i loved it from the first moment i saw it, and the sequel looks much better, and i can't wait.
My mom loves DMC2 so much i never get a chance to play she hogs it
oohhh im excited if this game is better than the previous then maybe it will take my number 1 spot of all time games which is presently lunar a silvar stoar story for sega cd
this is going to be the number one game in 2003 i mean he can run on walls and he has a partner Lucia that can also devil trigger.
i think this game is gonna be the bomb
Dante is one insane dude. I cant wait to see how much of of a badass he is in dmc2. i love dmc
The female person u can play with is Lucia. she also can transform just like dante. cant wait till it cums out. lol
#WHy are there no screenshots
Dmc was the best ps2 game i ever played so i cant wait for dmc2
This game is just off the huck. Never played a game so cool as devil may cry. Can't wait till devil may cry 2 releases in stores.
When is DEVIL MAY CRY 2 in the UK.
i want more info like the release date
I AGREE
its out in US now. awsome, but not as goos as the first.
Dmc2 is the cool as hell only thing is that on mission 4 it's kind of hard to pass.
hearing all of this made me even sorryer of my inability of posessing a PS2. My life is now equivalent to death...*sob sob*
true it is awsome but maybe 2 awsome for some
Devil May Cry 2 is a world`s best and great game.It has a beautiful grafic.
what do you know about being able about playing as trish??? If you get any more information about it please, tell me everything! oh and wat are lucia's swords called?
Lucia
P.S it's spelt geniuses
they are not sythes, they are two swords. 3 sword upgrades are available; CUTLASEER
KLYAMOOR & ZAM BAK. she also has throwwing daggers, a cranky bomb, darts and a bow gun.
Want more info - i'm the one to ask

RMDRMDIKAADMC
I LOVE DMC2!
exuse me sum1 who has the game, but i have a quetion, how long can dante run along side a wall for?
The info on trish mrs.lucia is this:
U unlock her after completing bloody palace mode with both dante and lucia(bloody palace mode is like dante must die mode basically,but bout 3 times as hard!),ad when u do, u get the same moves that dante has, but she has the sparda sword instead of any other ones, and i think her own devil trigger is her just sort of glowing yelow, and she can shoot those yello energy bolts, shes very cool! and lucias swords are called these-cutlaseer,claymore and ram bak!
and could u answer these questions for me please?
how long can dante run along side a wall for?
I tink he can run along a wall 4 1-2 seconds. I live in the UK so i don't know really
Lucia
help i'm stuck at mission 15
devil may cry 2 should come out sooner
how do u pull that move were u shoot in two directions? ahhahha
I just could not beleive my eyes. The graphics is so real and the new moves are fantastic. If I had one more thumb I'd say three thumbs up. But I do miss some of his old moves from the first one; he could implant his sword from further distance and he had this move that I used to call "hundred swords". I am just happy that Dante doesn't have to go under water in this one. I also miss the plane that I flew in the first one. I thought at one point I would drive the motorcycle. I just wanted more talking. In my opinion, I just think that the talking makes perfect. Now that I complete all the missions I am waiting for Devil May Cry 3
To pull off 'TWOSOME TIME' hold R1 and while shooting make sure there is an enemy behind you and put back on the analouge stick
Hope this helps!

Here to help
man dmc2 is so awesome I already beat the game with dante in 1 day I still can't get past the part in misson 8 with lucia when you first enter the misson
Hmm... lucia mission 8...
=========================
Mission 8 - "Defeat the prisoner in the abyss and hand the hunter the
mysterious vessel."
=========================
When the mission starts swim straight up into the next room. In this room
just swim straight up and you'll see another cylinder-like tunnel. Swim up
here and you'll jump out of the water, you just have to navigate up the
platforms in the sides of the walls to get to the top. At the top, look around
for a statue that will say "reflect my power." You're going to want to be
a good distance away, and when it launches a fireball, hit it back with your
swords, after three fireballs the statue breaks and water fills the room
allowing you to go to the next floor. Once you're out of the water and on
the next floor, there will be an orb dispenser, hit it to get the orbs, then
run down the tunnel and jump down the hole into the water yet again. In here,
go down to the bottom and through the door, now swim all the way to the end
of this hallway. At the end you will see another tunnel leading up, take
it. At the top, jump out of the water and go through the door. In this room,
it is just like the 'blue flame' puzzle from mission 2 with Dante, basically,
check the blue square on the second floor to activate the puzzle, then jump
back down and step on the yellowish tile. Now you just have to destroy all
of the blue orbs to raise some platforms. Now jump up the platforms to reach
the door. In here run down the hallway to the Time statue. There are also
orbs in this hallway that can be broken and will release the barrier around
the next heart. After that, run down the next hallway in the room with the
Time statue. Once through the door, you will have to face a boss...
----------------------------------------
BOSS - Plutonian
----------------------------------------
He is the exact same thing as the boss you fought on mission 2, just with
the occasional Agonofinis helping him, and laser beams. The laser beams are
fairly easy to dodge so I won't even touch on that, just follow the strategy
provided in mission 2 and you're going to be ok. After he falls, go collect
the Arcana Chalice and you'll get a cut scene where you meet Dante again.
End of mission 8.
you get to be trish on devil may cry2 win you bet hard mode im not lyling
The first time i played dmc, i was in love with it. I can't wait for dmc2. when is it coming out. i am going mad?
I can't wait to see the game DMC2.It looks totaly awsome, besides killer graphics, awsome character play and highly relatable characters, the DMC series has a way cool plot line! Sounds great, can't wait! ^_^
I think the devil may cry game may be the
best game ever for any system. it has
everything that requiers todays needs
for entertainment. the blood ,the style
the monsters, I haven't played a game
like that in a long time. now a days
all the games are little kids games.
the new character is lucia not sreela this game is going to be gooooood
Oh my God! i cant beleive u get sub-machine gus and a heat seeking missile launcher!and i never knew that aqua heart in devil trigger turns int a fish!Hey, american kids!u have it so, how long can dante run up and along a wall for?and can u get trish's own devil trigger?please say!
this game is realy good. How do I know because I have the game. The geaphics make you look like your in the game.DMC2 is the best capcom game to me. Much like the original but better graphics and a new playable character.
It comes out the 28th March 2003.
Please say thank-you, even for my game stratagies no-one does, please...
RMDRMDIKAADMC
Nice to see it took you a whole month to reply!
Test me, I like being tested, ask me summin bout DMC2
RMDRMDIKAADMC
Yeah, srry boutdat, i was on holiday!
have u even seen what i sed back there?
this game is the best rpg I have ever played next to metal gear solid and onimusha 2
Okay.I'lllet it straight out. The first one was like a soap opera I mean come on. If it's an action game do you wan't it to be like days of our lives? No.Exactley. But as far as the fight's and bosses go it was a great game.I liked fighting Phantomthe most. I still haven't beet the game though. I just hope DMC2 isn't like something my mom would watch.
Devil May Cry 2 looks bloody stunning with Dante's new moves and powers and I canny wait for it tae come out
devil may cry 1 was gr8 SO number 2 will hopefully be alot better
MOST REVIEWER MAGIZINS SAID DEVIL MAY CRY 2 SUCKS BUT I THINK IT IS BADASS
to your question, it is approxametly 3 sec, then the flips back or to the side
I've got da game and Dante's partners name is Lucia. She has daggers and throwing knives, way cool!!!
I just read what was written by someone who calls himself I hate dorks. Which seems a strange name for someone who porbably spends a great deal of time in front of the computer going well out of his way to find them. My advice to you mister I H8 dorks is to try something new as sarcasm is only funny in Kevin Smith moives and secondly if you don't like what you read on the internet just leave as you clearly have so many better things to do than hang around in chat rooms harrasing people from the safety of your living room. It's quite simply, just unplug and walk away. Se if you really hate dorks and geeks than why are yor reading something written by me the worlds biggest dork to ever grace this fine earth. I'll leave by saying this mister I own a Playstaion 2 and computer with internet capcbilities. Up yours, If I ever have to read anything you ever write again it will be a million years to soon. Try for once to think for yourself.
P.S. Dante is one of the coolest characters I have seen in a long time. 2 pistols pumping sword swinging bright red trenchcoat action that puts all other deamon hunters to shame with the possible exception of that lethal vampire hunter Blade. Right I'm done you can all go back to talking about how great a game this is.
gotta love ya site, but i tink u need more pics! no offence, but ya do. and u need more of the backgrounds, plz!?!?!?!?!? thanx
What an idiot!
Dante doesnt even get 2 swim in dmc2, lucia does!
and theres no such weapon called the nightmare gamma in the whole game!
the only nightmare weapon tha u get is the nightmare-y with trish!
d u even have the game?
cuz i can essure u, ive had it for about 1 month, and ive unlocked all the costumes and trish!
(shes mental, i u want info on her, just ask)
P.S. dont forget 2 write back with yor amusing wits
