Couldn't it just be referring to how the styles are new compared to DMC1 and 2? I think it's still likely, given the apparent addition of style names over the life bar, but saying that it's confirmed is a stretch.

on second thought maybe you're right, but the fact that name of the style is on top of the HP bar which us like DMC4 can also indicate it

It could, and I'm hoping that it does - the fact that you could only switch styles at extremely specific points was my biggest gripe with DMC3, and if the Switch version makes it so you can switch them anywhere, that would be a huge improvement in my eyes. (Though I wonder how that will impact the second-to-last boss battle)

Vergil just vanishes
40
they could also have altered some fights to fit the style switching more if it did happen.. so if you're new to the game..
EASY MODE IS NOW SELECTABLE

It's their way of forcing you to use Doppelganger style.
22
Would probably still lock you into the vergil/dg style for sake consistency and not breaking anything lol

Though I wonder how that will impact the second-to-last boss battle
Maybe it’ll actually make it mildly fun

Ugh, yes please

Even with Style Switching, DMC3 is still a much harder game than DMC5. The two's DMD difficulties back-to-back aren't even comparable, for instance.
2
It says "the new style change system"
If it was like the old one, it wouldn't be new.
6
Pretty sure that it's just comparing to the recent Switch ports of DMC1 & 2.
16
This was the exact same wording on the og release of 3
6
Well now I'm just sad
1
Tbf, I still think style switching might be on its way to the switch. I just don’t think it’s confirmed at all
3
Yeah but it says something similar in every HD Collection when talking about 3.
1
So many people have mistaken this literal explanation of the DMC3 style system as a deceleration of the modded style switcher being included.
It's like people forgot that DMC3 was the origin of style switching, which evolved into what we have now.
6
Yup, if you go to the statue, and change your style, surprise! It’s a style change.
6
That same description DMC3 always had because it introduced styles in the first place.

I dunno about that. This description was also used in past remasters regarding 3 with respect to 1 and 2. I'm 50/50 on this.
60
I'm on the same page. Let's not get our hopes up over nothing.
19
Time to here what style spam sounds like in DMC3 let’s go. Also how the frick is that gonna work when there’s 6 styles?
42
you might to use only 4? or maybe 5 if they copy how dark slayer was done in DMC4
36
Well there’s the ones you get from bosses like Quicksilver and Doppelgänger, which I feel is gonna make the style switching have a scrolling type thing instead of multiple buttons
28
It's actually easier than that. Up or down twice for Quicksilver and left or right twice for Doppelganger.
42
I'd rather it just be equippable, like a weapon. After all itd be nice to have the option to swap out something like royal guard or trickster for quicksilver or smthin. Plus I always found the whole double tap the d pad thing 4 did to be kinda iffy, especially in the heat of battle.
12
I'd rather you could swap DT for QS or DG.
6
It'll probably just be the sound that is made when you switch weapons or guns. The switch click sound.
Unless they had Reuben record dialogue for each style name back in the day. Or new dialogue but I doubt it lol.
14
D-Pad for 4, click left stick for quick silver, click right stick for doppelgänger
7
It could be you can pause the game and switch the style
2
Or you could move the D Pad diagonally
3
Hold the direction for the weird ones? Push R1+D-pad for the weird ones? L1+D-pad? I dunno?
1
This is what I live for! I’m absolutely crazy about it!
31
Don’t get too excited, I’m pretty sure they don’t mean on the fly style switching, but rather that styles were introduced in this game in the first place
23
honestly, it could still be referencing the old system, but I hope am wrong.
22
So... Are we getting this new feature for other platforms, as well? Or is this going to be the DmC's definitive edition situation all over again?
19
PS4/Xbox patch when?
17
It will happen for sure but probably later
8
We only have it as part of the bundle though, doubt they would care to patch it :/
6
PC patch when?
2
Donguri had joined dmc 3 switch
15
That just sounds like you can switch styles in the menu like always. That system was “new” to DMC 3 when it released. Don’t add your own context where there isn’t none.
9
Style "Change" sounds a lot like the original system where you changed it out in the goddess statue. not raining on everyone's parade but this could just be them marketing the game like it's day 1.
temper your expectations, I believe it's probably style switching too, but i've been burned by gaming companies for so long i'd rather not disappoint myself.......again
9
Damn I want that for my PS4 ._.
6
Take this misleading shit down dude. It's a straight port
6
Isn't that just a part of the sales blurb of the original game?
4
You're in trouble now Vergil.
3
Why won't there be a PS4 patch for the HD collection to add the style switching ? Or is it different cuz thats a port?
3
That doesn’t seem to mean what you are implying
3
Good. Because the only style I ever thought to use (and never switched from it) was swordmaster
3
All this tells you is that the game has new Style Change system. That could mean new to the franchise cause this was the first game that had styles, or new on the fly style switching made for this version of the game.
If it was on the fly style switching it would have been mentioned as such.
2
Dante also has new dialogue where he will say "Well, that's a switch" every time you switch styles on switch.
Enter combo vids: WELWEWELWWWWWELL THWELWEWEWELL THAWEWWWELLTHATS A SWITCH!

I honestly was hoping he'd mimic the switch sound effect
