By now you’ve heard the news that Devil May Cry 4 is going multi-platform, which should make everyone who owns a PS3, 360 and PC really giddy. Excited. Overjoyed. You get the picture. I have a confession to make… I’m not a genuine fan of the series, but perhaps the fourth installment sounds intriguing enough that I am willing to give it a shot.

Since I don’t know too much about the plot, you’ll have to forgive me in advance for offering you this baked verbatim of press release goodness which goes on to say: Devil May Cry 4 immerses gamers in a gothic supernatural world, where a new protagonist clashes with a familiar hero. As the new leading man, Nero, players will unleash incredible attacks and non-stop combos using a unique new gameplay mechanic, his powerful “Devil Bringer” arm.

(They really need to work on coming up with something more creative than… Devil Bringer.) Anyways, there’s a ton of screenshot galleries advertised on all the high-level sites who’ve been fortunate to check out preview builds — all of which prove that yes, it’s going to be a kickass looking game for your eyes to adore. Expect lots of action, mashy combos and an unique experience that you’ve come to love and cherish in a DMC game. Yes… even newcomers like me. ;)
