Wow, E.X. Troopers on the 3DS outscored its big brother on the PS3! Pretty crazy...

sinncross4175d ago

Well to be fair, unless their is extra content or something on the 3DS version, the game doesn't exactly look like it uses the PS3's power that much in terms of graphical prowess.

That could explain why the 3DS scored better... the games are scored against other software on the same system, not against each other. But really good score, I want to get hold of this asap.

izumo_lee4174d ago

The game was made on the 3DS since it is the lead platform for that game. So the PS3 version is basically an updated port of it hence the lower score.

metroid324174d ago

Yes but the ps3 is more powerful and the 3ds scored more in graphics port or no port the ps3 should be able to do an upgraded port but failed to impress that's what has me.

WiiU has lots of ports but they all add bells and whistles to the game and make it the superior/DC version of the same game shouldnt the ps3 be able to do that in this case oh well 3ds is looking good i'm waiting for the final version 3DS Pro or something hopefully with HD/3D before i get 1.

GribbleGrunger4174d ago

Because, unlike the Vita, the 3DS is reviewed as a handheld and the games aren't compared to their console counterpart. That's how it should be done... on the Vita too

ronin4life4174d ago

The Games are reviewed as Games, nothing more. This mystical reviewers discrepancy doesn't exist, at least not in a way that greatly affects the outcomes of the reviews in question.

And even if it did, Making, advertising and constantly bragging that your system is meant to be a "portable home console" is going to make people compare you to... a home console. Especially when such a strong amount of your library contains Multi platform titles also releasing on your home console equivalent.

metroid324174d ago (Edited 4174d ago )

The vita is reviewed as a handheld as the games are not worthy of being a direct competition for Home consoles and so is the 3ds get a grip the 3ds has better games and that's that they both get reviewed with handheld gaming in mind.

EX troopers scored more on graphics than ps3 version wow that is a serious up for 3ds and 3ds going foward as Capcom have already made the best games on that platform besides Ninty and have lots more in the pipeline with a new Resident evil in the works and MH4 and MH3 Ultimate wow.

izumo_lee4174d ago

Not knocking the 3DS cause it is a very viable platform as it has shown so far. However when a console game has lower graphics quality than a handheld that is indicative of the quality that the developer (in this case Capcom) has become in developing their games.

Sure Capcom is all friendly with Nintendo now but eventually even Nintendo is going to deal with the shortcuts that Capcom will likely do what they have done to PS3/XB360 users this gen.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC3h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer4h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6023h ago(Edited 3h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya1h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde1h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx1h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro8h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B6h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21836h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh6h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia6h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins6h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal5h ago

The first game was the best imo.
