DMC: Devil May Cry NYCC trailer, console demo coming before release

Ninja Theory's take on Capcom's Devil May Cry series has a new trailer that came from this year's New York Comic Con. If you're having second doubts on the upcoming Devil May Cry, good news, you get to test drive Dante's new look first. During the event, they also mentioned a demo version of DMC is planned before the game ships. 

As reported byJoystiq, Capcom is planning to release the demo online prior to the game's launch. No firm date to when the demo will be available but its good to know that a demo is on the way. It's a bit petty but I actually have doubts of the game because of  the change in Dante's looks and the story set in a different reality. Yes, I know its a reboot and all, but I'm still leaning to the old Devil May Cry. Core gameplay seem intact, but hopefully it plays just as well as it looks.

DMC: Devil May Cry is scheduled for a January 15, 2013 release for Playstation 3, and Xbox 360. With the PC version to follow soon after.

Ubisoft's latest trailers for Far Cry 3 introduces us to a few characters we'll encounter in the wild.

Check out the trailers below.

The Tribe: Citra and Dennis

I have pretty low expectations for the third Far Cry title thanks to my experience with Far Cry 2.  But good thing the characters for the third is proving to be something to check out.

Gearbox Software just announced today that the DLC character Mechromancer is coming a week earlier. Since the DLC was planned for an October 16 release, that means the DLC will be released today on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford tweeted the news today. He also added that the content will be available at the end of the day.

People who pre-order Borderlands 2 gets Gaige the Mechromancer for free, while players that didn't, will need to cough up $9.99, or 800 MS points.
