Start doing badly and it’s very hard to make a comeback because your level of concentration will be rock bottom. His dodges and blocks have much less margin for error and he can’t double jump, while the power of his attacks are dependent on a concentration gauge – which increases as you stand still or walk slowly but drops the more you’re damaged. Playing as Vergil is not something the game expects a new player to be doing (for the current gen versions he’ll be released as paid-for DLC later in the year) as he’s considerably more difficult to use than the other characters. Something which will particularly appeal to those that resented being forced to constantly change characters in the original version. When it comes to Vergil, you get to play essentially the whole main campaign from his perspective, including new cut scenes and story elements to flesh things out. We found the 60fps option to be the best compromise between performance and visuals, but, as long as you have the right kind of TV, the choice is up to you. Loading times are obviously very much faster than before (although that’s true with backwards compatibility as well) and you have essentially three graphical options: native 4K resolution at 30fps, 1080p at 60fps, or no-ray-tracing and 120fps. Although admittedly this doesn’t quite compensate for how uninteractive the backgrounds are, with only a very limited amount of destructibility. We’ve been more impressed than we expected with ray-tracing so far, especially amongst the shinning skyscrapers of Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and while the effect is not so obviously front and centre in Devil May Cry 5 it’s great for puddles and reflections, as well as dynamic shadows that suggest Resident Evil is going to have a field day with the technology. That would have been perfectly welcome for Devil May Cry 5 even without the next gen, but since this is a launch title on both new consoles Capcom has also taken the chance to get in some practice with next gen effects like ray-tracing. Ever since Devil May Cry 3 there’s been a tradition of special editions being released a year or so after the initial launch, and they’ve always tended to do the same thing: make Dante’s brother Vergil a playable character and add extra features such as survival mode Bloody Palace and an even higher level of difficulty.
