Changes: Devil May Cry 5 Demo

Latest revision as of 22:38, 31 July 2019

The Devil May Cry 5 Demo is one of the demos of Devil May Cry 5. It was officially confirmed on January 7th, 2019, one day after the Devil May Cry 5 Xbox Exclusive Demo expired.^[1]

Content

This demo is a mirror of the Devil May Cry 5 Xbox Exclusive Demo. Mission 02, again, is the only available stage, however, this time the demo includes the Punch Line of Devil Breakers. In addition, the "Customize" option is also available in this demo.

Just like the Xbox One exclusive demo, having saved data from this version would give players 30,000 Red Orbs in the full game.^[2]

"Customize" prices

Below is a table with the buyables moves in the demo and their cost.

Type	Name	Price (in Red Orbs)
Skill (Ability)	Air Hike	2,000
Skill (Ability)	Enemy Step	15,000
Skill (Red Queen)	Roulette Spin	6,000
Skill (Red Queen)	Shuffle	11,000
Skill (Exceed)	Exceed 2	8,000
Devil Breaker	Overture and Gerbera	100 each
Devil Breaker	Punch Line	200
Devil Breaker	"Buy In Buld"	400

Differences

The loading screen upon launching the mission is not present in the final game.
Morrison's letter is replaced with a "Control Guide".
Mission 02-Scene 02 does not play after reading the above, however, Nico will still have changed to her working gear while in the mission menu.
When pausing the game, "Demo" appears where the mission name is supposed to be in the full game. Also applies to the menu where the mission is started.
When paused, the "Dodge" action is listed in the control display. The game mode (difficulty) is not displayed in the menu.
Reversals are present in the demo.
Only the bar area at the Il Chiaro Mondo Hotel is playable.
The Blue Orb Fragment is not present at the area with the Nidhogg Hatchling.
Enemies do not despawn when the Nidhogg Hatchling is picked up.
Hell Antenoras are not fought in the demo, after the Nidhogg Hatchling is acquired, the floor will not collapse.
The Mission 02-Scene 09 cutscene ends right before V makes an appearance.

Trivia

While the reversal mechanic is present in this demo, it is actually mostly missing from the final game. When asked about this during an official livestream, Matthew Walker stated that this demo was on an older build of the game, which dates back to the original Gamescom 2018 demo (which was the first demo of the game). Matt stated that while the development team were doing bug testing, one of the players found themselves doing a reversal on accident, which prompted the team to remove this mechanic. ^[3]
One of the promotional images for the demo within the online store(s) is a screenshot of the Mission 18-Scene 03 cutscene, this is of course nowhere to be seen in the demo.
