Okay so I finally gave the demo a try, the demo should be honored as this demo took the virginity of my Pulse headset (for games).
So here is my opinion:
WTF IS UP WITH GRAPHICS? The art looks good enough and the ever-changing scenario was cool too BUT THE WHOLE FUCKING GAME LOOKED LIKE IT WAS RUNNING ON SIXTH-GENERATION CONSOLES ! I MEAN EVEN DMC3 LOOKED MUCH BETTER IN MANY SCENARIOS COMPARED TO THIS !
The gameplay was fun and fast although the controls will take time to get used to, I was pressing L1 and R1 most of the time instead of L2/R2 and when I was pressing L2/R2 I was rapidly pushing SQUARE to bring out the guns but he was pulling/grabbing instead, so gotta work on that thing...
THE WORST CON OF THE WHOLE GAME:
DANTE'S LOOKS
Which overshadows all the cutscenes, during gameplay you won't be seeing his ugliness from the back much and would be busy with the rapid gameplay but CUTSCENES WERE A TORTURE ! AND THAT PUSSY OF A BROTHER OF HIS VERGIL :/
They ruined some damn fine characters...
The boss fight demo was good too but uh...SWEARING contest? :/ Seriously? :/
And that WHO ARE YOU SCENE can't even live upto the CERBERUS in DMC3 after it gets defeated.
And that loading screen, WHITE LOADING SCREEN PAR WHITE SHADOWED TEXT? :/
I hope the visuals are much more polished in the final version and hope they don't look as crappy as they were here in this demo...
Since I played a hack'n'slash after a long time, it was fun.
Overall Demo Score:
5/10
DMC4 runs at fix 60fps and looks better compare to DmC even now. The colorful palette doesn't suit DMC style i wished it was more muted but oh well. PS3 has alot of problem you should try the 360 demo its better.
The animations and physics are unpolished in majority of moves and it feels slow. I hope the final version is more clean and smoother. You will get used to the control i really don't get why the default controls have two different keys for weapon switching for angel/demon weapon. It should have been R2/RT for weapon switching it would have been more easier.
They are some issues of balancing of weapons some of them keeps you afloat in air for longer its just ridiculous and aribtar is massive weapon and way too overpowered defeats high-tier enemies easily. Not to mention the demon dodge is just broken lol and gives you rewards you way too much for a simple move. I have even seen the video where a guy did demon dodge and he got instant SSS rank thats just stupid.
The boss fight was just OK for me it was too easy and the patterns were easy to read. The swearing part was overdone IMO. Right now the story, characters and enemy designs are subjective some of the people may like it and some won't. I will give my final verdict after i play the final game.

I understand Major's disappointment with the characters in this game. As I said in the previous post, I wouldn't want this to takeover the dmc franchise.
I enjoy Osiris i hope it makes in future DMC i always wanted to wield a scythe weapon. I don't care about characters it's a different take by NT. I think traveling between two dimensions is borrowed from Constantine.
