Devil May Cry 5 Digital Deluxe Edition Bonuses Detailed
Devil May Cry 5 Digital Deluxe Edition includes a Mega Man-inspired Devil Breaker, among other things.
Devil May Cry 5 got a new trailer at TGS 2018, detailing new weapons for Dante and Nero, the reveal of the mysterious third playable character, V, and Capcom also detailed exclusive in-game items that players can look forward to with the Digital Deluxe Edition of the game.
Along with his sword and handguns, Dante is getting a new weapon in the form of the Cavaliere R; a bladed motorcycle that tears up demon faces, limbs, and anything else that's silly enough to step into its path.
Nero's new Devil Breakers were also unveiled, including a Mega Man-inspired Mega Buster, which really deserves its own trailer. And it has one! Check it out below.

Production of PS Vita Will End in Japan Next Year, Says Sony
Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced that the manufacture of its handheld PlayStation Vita console will end in Japan in 2019.
SIE vice president, Hiroyuki Oda, shared the news with Famitsu, via Gematsu, confirming that PS Vita production will end in Japan next year, with no plans for a successor any time soon.
"Currently, we do not have any plans regarding a new handheld device,” he said. “In Japan, we will manufacture PlayStation Vita until 2019. From there, shipping will end.”
This news follows a report from earlier this year, that the company is set to end production of physical Vita cartridges by the close of "fiscal year 2018," which is March 31, 2019, although at the time it was made clear that digital distribution of games on the platform would continue after this date.

Titans Added ‘F**k Batman’ Line in Reshoots to ‘Set the Tone’
The "F**k Batman" line that Robin let loose at the end of the first trailer for Titans wasn’t originally planned, as it was added in during reshoots in order to set a particular tone for the series.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Dick Grayson/Robin actor Brenton Thwaites elaborated that this particular fight scene needed a punctuation point, and he feels it is an appropriate line for both his character and the show in general.
“We’d already shot that alley fight scene before, and there was no punch to it,” said Thwaites. “There was no real exclamation mark. I think the producers wanted something that would kind of set the tone for the whole show.”

The legendary composer of most of the music from the Final Fantasy series, Nobuo Uematsu, is stepping down from work due to health issues.

He left Square in 2004 to form his own production studio - Smile Please - but continues to work for the company on a freelance basis.
