| Description: |
At the 2005 Tokyo Game Show, it was confirmed that Capcom would be releasing a Special Edition of Devil May Cry 3. Most notably, players can now choose to play as Dante's twin brother, Vergil (see below). Additionally, there is an added survival mode, the "Bloody Palace", which contains a total of 9999 levels; a new boss fight early in the game, with optional fights later; a "Turbo Mode" for 20 percent faster gameplay; and a new continue system which can revive the player instantly, or allow the player to restart the fight they just lost as many times as they like. The game also has rebalanced difficulty.
Vergil has only one style, "Dark Slayer" (similar to Dante's "Trickster" style), which includes evasive maneuvers, and can be leveled up twice, just like Dante's initial four styles. He has three weapons: his Yamato katana, the Beowulf gauntlets and greaves, and the Force Edge broadsword. He has only one ranged attack, "Summoned Swords", which can can be fired while the player performs other attacks, spin around Vergil as a barrier, can be stacked and shot at the enemy quickly, or made to surround an enemy and pierce them.
The new boss is a character from the first version, Jester. In the first edition of DMC3, Jester was a plot-important character who was encountered several times during cutscenes, but never actually fought. In Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, Jester is a semi-optional boss (insofar as the first fight with him is mandatory but the latter encounters can be skipped) who can be fought three times.
Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition was released on January 24, 2006 for USD $19.99 as part of the PlayStation 2 Greatest Hits Collection. The United Kingdom division of Official PlayStation Magazine announced that it would not be released in Europe. Though previously there were certain reports from Capcom's official Web site suggesting that this information was inaccurate, it was later confirmed that the PlayStation 2 version of the game would be released in Europe.
On February 1, 2006, Ubisoft announced that they would be publishing the game on the PC ([1]). The European PC version was the first to come out, even before the Special Edition was released for the PlayStation 2 in that region. At first it was scheduled to be released on June 2, 2006, but it was then pushed back and finally released on June 28, 2006. Originally, the American release was scheduled to come out on May 23, 2006, but this date was pushed back multiple times, eventually being released on October 16, 2006. The game was published in Japan on June 30, 2006. The Japanese company SourceNext is responsible for porting Devil May Cry 3 to PC platform. SourceNext also ports Onimusha 3 and Resident Evil 4, both most popular Capcom titles like Devil May Cry 3.
In Europe the PlayStation 2 version came out on September 29, 2006 and is slightly different from the American version. Vergil and Bloody Palace mode are unlocked from the start but the Turbo mode was taken out from the game, though no official statement from Capcom regarding this has been released.
Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition were also included in the 5th Anniversary Collection with a price of $29.99. Surprisingly, it does not have the "Greatest Hits" label.
The biggest change from previous games in the series is the new combat system, which allows Dante to choose one of six different styles of combat in each mission, which enable him to use special techniques related to the style's focus. The four default styles are:
Trickster: Focuses on dodging and agility. In the special edition of the game Vergil's "Dark Slayer" style uses similar moves.
Swordmaster: Focuses on techniques for the Devil Arms.
Gunslinger: Focuses on techniques for firearms.
Royalguard: Focuses on absorbing enemy strikes and projecting the energy back.
Quicksilver and Doppelganger styles are unlocked during gameplay.
Quicksilver: Allows Dante to slow down time while attacking at normal speed.
Doppelganger: Allows Dante to create a shadow double that fights alongside Dante. A second player can also control the shadow double, by pressing "Start" on a second controller.
Note: Another two-player mode, similar to the one in Doppelganger style, is accessible while fighting against Arkham in Mission 19. During the second half of the battle, after the cutscene, press start on a second controller for a second player to aid you as Vergil.
