This one?
"Rumor: Devil May Cry 5 and Soul Calibur VI Will Be Revealed at PSX"

I buy it.  The director announced very early on this year that he was planning on announcing a game this year. And he's apologized a few times for not announcing anything quite yet.  


Well based on this year, Sony won't show anything for E3.  

But they can still show new stuff for:
-a Japan Studio game
-some kind of San Diego Studio game *shrugs*
-some VR games.  

We'll probably see updates on:  (although most of this will probably come up at PSX instead)
-Dreams
-Ghost of Tsushima
-TLoU Part II

(LEAK) Massive Devil May Cry 5 Info (Potential heavy spoilers inside!) | ResetEra

Greetings everyone! I am making this post today not as a sole person but as part of a community. For quite some while, we, a Devil May Cry community, have been aware of the existence of a new DMC game. After reading that Hideaki Itsuno plans to unveil his secret project this year, we waited diligently to see what the project was even though we knew full and well what it actually was. We waited through E3, TGS, Paris Games and now we are in late November 2017 with no information about Itsuno's project. We endured through multiple apologies on his part and we do not in any way blame Itsuno for the the current situation. (Original plan was to leak this document after PSX/Capcom Cup but details of this document started to spread like wildfire and it was only a matter of time before it got posted in less savory places without context so we are leaking this earlier than anticipated).

• Hideaki Itsuno's secret project for Capcom is the sequel to the original Devil May Cry series, the 5th installment. Internally it appears to be called "Devil May Cry V" instead of using the standard numeric system of the previous games (think MGS1-4 to MGSV).

RELEASE DATE AND PRODUCTION

• The game is slated to release some time in the fiscal calendar year of 2019. That means sometime between April 2018 and March 2019. Original plan was to release it in November 2018 but the date MIGHT have been pushed back to early 2019.
• Originally DMCV was intended to be announced at PSX but after receiving feedback on their E3 press conference, Sony decided to scale back on PSX and instead scale up E3 2018. DMCV was an unfortunate casualty of this choice and thus it's unlikely that DMCV gets officially revealed in 2017.
• There will be a demo for the game sometime before release.
• Game has been in development for 2 years as of today. When it will release it will have been in development for 3 years at least. That is actually the highest time a DMC game has been in full production for. Pre-production started as early as 2015 around the time that DMC4SE finished releasing. There have been no development hiccups and as stated, the development has in fact been progressing smoothly.
• There is some form of Playstation exclusivity involved. Sony is paying for some of the funding for the game but the extent of it is not known. Could be completely PS4 exclusive, console exclusive or timed exclusive. If the game is announced publicly then it will be at a Sony event, which is why many people thought that it was going to be at PSX.

• Trailer has been ready for a while now. The initial trailer is 1 minute 50 seconds long (they may add new cuts to trailer to make an extended version since some time has passed from when it was made). It is mostly focused on story, characters and cutscenes. A city like setting is shown in the trailer not that different from Fortuna city in DMC4.
• The overall game is supposed to be "ambitious" for a DMC title with a broader appeal.
• Longest cutscene runtime of any DMC game yet.

DEVELOPMENT TEAM

• Itsuno's team that worked on previous DMC games and Dragon's Dogma is working on DMCV.
• Yuji Shimomura is returning as the cutscene director for DMCV. He worked on DMC3, DMC4 and Bayonetta cutscenes.
• Rueben Langdon is reprising his role as Dante.
• Johnny Young Bosch is reprising his role as Nero.
• Dan Southworth is reprising his role as Vergil.
• No word on the actresses who played Trish and Lady if they will be returning,
• Onyay Pheori is helping with the soundtrack (she did the song for DMC4SE's launch trailer).

CHARACTERS AND STORY (POTENTIALLY BIG SPOILERS!)

• DMCV picks up the story after DMC4.
• More than one playable character in the game, Dante is for sure playable and Nero is possibly playable as well. Up to 3 playable characters have been suggested for now.
• This is the most serious Dante has been (a "new side" of Dante), of course not counting DMC2. Dante still plays with his enemies and has his usual over the top flair but this game is going to be more personal for him.
• A third character is expected to be playable as well. Said to be "very powerful." May or may not be brand new to the series.
• No word on whether Vergil is playable or not, he will be returning although specifics on how he is returning from his death in DMC1 are unknown.
• Trish has a prominent role to play in DMCV but no word on whether she is playable or not.
• There will be a sequence where Nero and Vergil have a confrontation, confirming their relationship (Nero is in fact Vergil's son as stated in the DMC3142 artbook).
• Characters switch during key story points in the game.
• The "Prince of Darkness" is featured as the main antagonist of the story. (Prince of Darkness title normally refers to Mundus so it might indicate his return but that title may have transferred to another character)
• DMCV might be the end of the "sons of Sparda" storyline.

GAME PLAY/SYSTEMS

• Hard lock on is standard.
• Console is targeted for 60 frames per second like the previous DMC games.
• Level design is more open than previous DMC games but not going into Souls or open world territory of level design. Movement outside of combat has been streamlined to match the open nature of the game. The structure is more open to make the experience more "smooth." Immersion is important to the team with this game.
• Level design and exploration is more similar to Bayonetta with action set pieces thrown in there but without the QTEs. QTEs in general do not exist in DMCV thus far.
• There is NO Stamina bar.
• This is not a Musou game but there will be encounters where you are facing more enemies than you are used to in a DMC game.

• There is some online integration but definitely no multiplayer PvP.
• Dodge system is reworked and dodging in general is supposed to be a lot smoother than before (get ready to hear the word "smooth" a lot when related to DMCV).
• Camera pulls back during big fights. The devs are really proud of the new, more dynamic camera system.
• Animations are being improved to be less stiff. Big emphasis on cloth physics (maybe Dante's sword might not clip through his jacket now!). Battles are beautifully animated and smooth.
• Mission and Ranking system similar to previous DMC games and Bayonetta. There will definitely be mission/chapter selects.
• Bosses being ramped up dramatically in DMCV. One of the boss fights moves between multiple areas of the game.
• Style system is in for Dante -  Enemies will react a bit differently to each style.
• Style system has been streamlined to be smoother to use for the players (speculated that the style system might be tuned/reworked to make it easier to get into than in DMC4).
• Certain styles will have advantages on certain enemies similar to DmC/DMC3 (you can use a single style on any enemy just fine).
• More environment interactivity than any previous DMC game. This is supposed to compliment the combat system, not detract from it.
• There is some form of dynamic environment destruction/transformation in play but not on the scale of DmC thus far.
• While this is not an open world game, some inspirations have been taken from Dragon's Dogma.

A LITTLE UPDATE

• PlayStation 4 first, PC later
• Unreal Engine 4

Which among other things states this:

"Originally DMCV was intended to be announced at PSX but after receiving feedback on their E3 press conference, Sony decided to scale back on PSX and instead scale up E3 2018. DMCV was an unfortunate casualty of this choice and thus it's unlikely that DMCV gets officially revealed in 2017."

Making me wonder what Sony could do to really scale up next E3, of course they could show a shitton of gameplay for already announced games, but if they're reacting to feedback from this years show than they probably know that people always want to see new games.

I just want a new Devil May Cry.  I'm getting less and less excited for games.

[Legend]

I had a dream I attended PSX. The conference was really lame and they didn't even end up showing dreams. Announced a new platformer, showed Ghost, and then everyone went to Disneyland.

I had a dream I was playing VizionEck Adventure.
Man that feels like a lifetime away!!

Realistically, it'll still be a couple years. Cube Royale should release soonish but I'll still need to manage my time between supporting it and developing Adventure.

[Xevross]

Sony haven't announced PS4 70m sales yet. PS4 is dooooomed

They've never done that before, its just impossible!

I bet we'll get numbers at PSX since it'd be a good crowd pleaser.

I'm surprised using a phone charger or a battery pack isn't used more often for PS4 controllers.
