Capcom has announced that it will be bringing a demo of Devil May Cry 4 to the Japanese PlayStation Store this Thursday.

Those of you who actively download content from your Japanese PlayStation Network accounts should take special note, as you’ll be able to snap up the demo of the highly anticipated action title a full week ahead of its North American release on January 31.

Set between the events of the original Devil May Cry and its sequel, Devil May Cry 4 pits players in the shoes of Nero - a dexterous, highly accomplished swordsman and gunslinger.

Clashing with series protagonist Dante in the middle of a demonic invasion of the city of Fortuna, players must guide Nero on a quest for the truth as they make use of his deadly Devil Bringer arm, which gamers can utilize to string together a slew of devastating attack combos.

Stay tuned for our full review some time next month.

    I've had a Japan account since march of last year. I don't use it so much except for time like these.  @gingo, U don't need to understand Japanease to benifit from the account.  they use pics also, plus if it is freen then it has a yello circle or something beside the pic.  Its been awhile since i've gotten on their I really can't remember what the symbol looks like.

    I don't see why man.

    It plays just like DMC3 and has a better story and obviously much better graphics. Unless you were dissapointed in DMC3, i don't see how this one could possibly dissapoint you.

    If anything it seems this game marks the pinnacle of the series so far, and that means the best action-adventure game in existence :)

    i already have some friends who already got the game I dont want to spoil the story so I wont, But from what i've seen it's like an emotional rollercoaster, theres parts were you get mad just like nero and want to kick a55 and take names, if you like the 3rd expect it to be better and even more crazy cut scenes, Dante is more wild than ever.

     

    Awesome, can't wait! lol
