I'm reviewing the game as I speak, I thought this would make the review more short and pure.
As I look on, I can say that the graphics are the best I have seen in any multiplat so far, this is probaply do to the fact that the Ps3 was the lead development platform. We all know how some 360 lead developments went...
Sound is beautiful, it is pure and feel as though its cleaning your ears.
No, screen tearing, no frame issues....little mind herrasing jaggies but, who cares..
The cut-scenes are just phenomenal, I have never seen any such action choreography in any type of medium period. Every time I take down a boss it feels as though I have actually accomplished something.
Keep in mind guys, I'm reviewing this as I play so I apologies for the bad review terms. It is better to have it more user focused like this any way, instead of it being a term paper.
The dificulty as as much as ever with DMC4, I personally thought DMC3 was easy as cake, but for some reason this takes me a lot longer to clear...have I gotten old, or is it just my inteligence going down from all those mindless hours of games?
Character presentation is very detailed, it feels like you are watching a AAA movie...from the first scene to the last where you finally defeat your foe.
The story is VERY intruiging, it actually took me time and thought to figure out some key parts of the story.. I really like that. DMC4 is looking to be the new Final Fantasy to me.. minus all the useless hours of slow RPG movements.
All in all, DMC4 is a must play for each and every true gamer as it offer best of all worlds.
The fair rate for this game would be a ( and I know .. don't be shocked!)
Devil May Cry 4 launched 15 years ago today, bringing with it new character Nero. Has it stood the test of time?
Never liked it and I think I got it day 1.
Cheap Capcom design of half a game that you have to walk through twice.
5 isn't much different in that department. Encounter the same boss three times with three different characters? Endless warehouses or alien-like tunnels that all look the same.
I'm actually with you there, but DMC has that terrible writing. Alex Garland isn't it?
Grab your katana, and slice your way through this list featuring the best hack and slash games the PlayStation 3 had to offer.
Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.
I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.
I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.
Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.
Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.
Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?
I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.
heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.
I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
Heres ten great games we still want to see ported to the Nintendo Switch.
online?
can you tell us abit about the online function? i would love to know more
I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree. Although I really like the DMC series, DMC4 lacks originality to have it be as high of a score that you gave it. The gameplay is great, of course that's what it is mainly about for the DMC series however this game does not create anything unique as DMC3 did by taking a step forward in terms of gameplay since it feels very similar to as if you were playing DMC3. Of course the graphics are nice (what isn't nowadays) and considering that puzzles were rather odd (note the camera still needs work because your faced with a hard angle sometimes making it difficult to see what your doing, obstacles feel rather weird since the controls don't really match it) and considering this is next generation, it could have used more work. By all means this is not a bad game, nor does it deserve a low score, but this score seems too high.
I felt this review was rather biased and was not judged in a fair way because to rate or judge anything, you have to look at it from all angles not just your own personal thoughts.
but just too high in my opinion. As for the game being a good looking multiplat effort I have yet to play the 360 version to state my opinion. Its been nearly half a year after the only better version of a multiplat game on PS3. That game was Oblivion. To me not even Call of Duty 4 has detrone Oblivion. Speaking of CO4 I dont understand why most people said it was better looking on the PS3. I am a PS3 fan who also have a 360 and to me, after comparing both version the 360 is way better looking. Better textures, aliasing, colors, controls,etc. Just in the sound dept the PS3 version wins. Im tired of multiplat games that looks better on the 360 and my expectations are higher for MP nowadays. After played Uncharted and RCF I am convinced thet the PS3 is more than capable of better looking multiplats than the 360.
I dont want developers to downgrade the game to run smoth on both platforms ( anyone have played NBA 2K8? looked worse than 2K7. ) I want devs to take the time effort and love that the PS3 needs. Thats why most people dont buy MP on the PS3. Did you knew that devs??. Anyway if a game as good looking as DMC4 could run better and look sligthy better on the PS3 why LOST PLANET looks so Cr@p!!??
I dont get all these MP development so for now I will continue to buy MP on the 360. The only exeption OBLIBION...and now DMC4. Time to go and play the 360 version in a friend's house. Time to compare. LOL!
Finally a review that isnt f*ck up, gj man
