Oooooo...Halo 3...Halo 3...who cares? Play the game.

zambrota5918d ago

DMC4 is no Uncharted. then why is it running on 640p.

what caused this downgrade?

I am cancelling my preorder after seeing this.

I think i am gonna buy only the ps3 exclusive games. Multiplats dont take advantage of ps3's hardware and are normally rushed out ports of the x360 version

I am definitely cancelling my preorder. what about u all?

ThaGeNeCySt5918d ago

did you notice it's resolution before this news? If not, then who cares?

sonarus5918d ago

considering while it was still exclusive to ps3 they annouced 1080p and 60fps as we all know 360 can't do that so it my eye brow is raised at the 360.

Skerj5918d ago

Cancel a preorder because it's 640p? That's crazy man!! Tell me, how often do you think you guys will be griping about the resolution ingame. I'll tell you, none!! If there were a problem with the framerate then THAT would be an issue. Since DMC has some frame dependant moves, hitches would make the game broken. So far none of that has come up so all is still good, 640p or not.

drewdrakes5918d ago

zambrota - are you serious? You arent a real gamer.

sonarus5918d ago

i hate that you can no longer edit your posts. i actually meant to say 360 can't do 1080p and 60fps at the same time as of yet. No 360 game has done it and ps3 have games that have. And capcom did say ps3 would have 1080p and 60fps so... all my comments were factual didnt say anything more or less. before ppl start reporting me 4 spam or sumthin

barom5918d ago

I think DMC4 still looks freakin amazing. And did anyone actually read the article? It was poorly written. I could've done that. I think this is bull. I'll wait for a better source

I wonder on which resoulution will be new Ninja Gaiden.

sonarus5918d ago

i think the new one has been confirmed to run at 720p and 60fps. But could suprise us again and run at 640p. Ninja gaiden 2 is one of the few xbox titles am looking forward too. From a gameplay perspective i could care less about the games resolution as long as it looks good but from a technical standpoint if the 360 jst keeps coughing up 640p resolution it definetly does make them the weaker system. in fact less than standard resoltion has been something to expect from most 360 games exclusive and multiplat

2Negativecool5918d ago

Simply more evidence that Capcom sucks at life.

SaiyanFury5917d ago

The average gamer doesn't give a rat's ass about the final resolution as long as it looks good in the final release. I downloaded the PS3 demo and it looked great in HD. I don't care if it's not true 1080p. All I care about is that it performs well and the controls are solid.

wallace10005917d ago

Once again agreeds all round because who cares? In a blind test, very few people would notice and/or be able to tell the difference. Play the game and have fun!

meepmoopmeep5917d ago

i played the demo and it looked uber sweet, if i didn't read this i wouldn't have known it was less than 720p. it surely isn't Uncharted crisp but it still looks amazing and PLAYS amazingly.

i hope today zooms by so i can pick up my copy tmrw and game on

"NICE GOING, Sony and M$! Making consoles that can’t handle stable 60FPS at 1080p. I HATE YOU ALL *smashes head into wall*"

How about blaming M$ and Capcom for making this game Multiplaform? you know this game would run at 720p, hell even at 1080p if it was PS3 exclusive, but since they made it multiplatform, they had to make the game to run for the lowest common denominator, which was the xbox 360, although it was built on PS3 hardware first. Capcom wanted this game to run equal to both system, thus degrading the PS3 version for no reason. please dont give me that BS (ex. OH THE GAME IS TOO POWERFUL TO RUN ON PS3,) look at KZ2 and Uncharted confirmed to be running at 720p, oh wait, and Ninja Gaiden Sigma which is basically the same Hack and slash game that DMC is, running at 60fps at 1080p running exclusively at PS3 hardware , nuff said.

Im getting this game though, cause Im a fan of DMC, but this mediocrity has to stop

zambrota5918d ago (Edited 5918d ago )

at TGS 2006 DMC4 kiosk demo ran at 60fps 720p.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

also NOTE that before you used to have many enemies per screen.After DMC4 went multi i barely see that many enemies in the demo

check and compare DMC4's old demo video at TGS on youtube.

even the colour looked so vibrant.

Now not only does it look washed out it seems to lack,textures,cloour and speed.

When i first tested this at my workplace (BABELLGAMES) i was too disappointed?

WTF capcom?

you could have easily made 2 different versions of DMC4 ---one for x360 and one for ps3

ThaGeNeCySt5918d ago

the game wasn't built on PS3 hardware first, it was built on PC.

pwnsause5918d ago

ThaGeNeCySt, well even better! just goes to show you WTF is capcom doing? what I want to know is, why are they whoring themselves? why put DMC on PC, that fails. I wanna know whos going to play this game on PC? this game isnt going to sell on PC, when I say that, I mean below 500,000 sales.

pshizle5918d ago

DMC4 runs better on 360 anyways

zambrota5918d ago

at TGS 2006 DMC4 was shown on PS3 in the form of a trailer.

You could see the ingame cinematics as well as gameplay scenes of the TGS demo (ps3) on Youtube.

I'll not cancel my pre-order because this is a great game in both xbox 360 and PS3, you don't have to see the game for it's graphics and see it for it's gameplay and story.

INehalemEXI5918d ago

Im getting it ASAP on mah PS3, pre ordered , probably get it on 2/6 since I got to wait for shipping. :(

Sevir045917d ago (Edited 5917d ago )

while this is a bit disapointing to here, i feel the playablity is whats more important. and if you take te N4G fankid googles off you'd notice that this game plays well, and looks great. secondly only fankids really care about resolution. the average gamer wont even notice... and number 3

it seems games are being gimped this generation... Sony raised the abr and MS lowered it. i remembered when capcom announced that DMC4 was going to support 1080p at 60fps, and that was right after Team Ninja came out bragging about how NGS supported it on PS3...

Had this game stayed exclusive i think at minimum it would have had 720p standard...

So we can add DMC4 to the list of games like Skate, tony hawks proving ground, Halo 3, PGR3, and COD3 and cod4. man that bad...

Either way though That never stopped me from playing the hell out of my COD4 and skate and it certainly wont stop me from playing playing version that i deam better, Being The PS3 especially because it's made for this console first. with that.. i'll look past that 640p because it looks spectacular, Not Uncharted Good but it looks great. I cant wait to play at all... Feb 6th cant come any sooner.

meepmoopmeep5917d ago

mine is already paid in full. wOOt

felman875918d ago

640p is the kiss of death. I mean, just look at what happened to Halo 3.

ceedubya95917d ago

Halo sold millions and is usually the top game on Xbox Live. I think I missed something in your comment.

jmiscavish5917d ago

I think he was being sarcastic. Funny post.

ravenguard885917d ago

I mean, considering it only broke world record sales previously set by Halo 2.... I'm sure Microsoft recognizes their mistakes and will never make them again. Shame on them releasing a game in 640p. SHAME! How dare they sell well with that kind of low-end specification.

Anyways... I'd like to see the person who would prefer to play Crysis in 1920*1080 with the settings on medium instead of at 1024*640 with settings on very high.

Sorry guys, but a decent frame rate, some nice effects, and even a little anti-aliasing go a much longer way that brute force resolution. Drop your dreams of 1080p, it's just a number, and 99.9% of you would NEVER KNOW that every game you play doesn't fill the full specification if the developers or publishers didn't release the facts.

You all complain about it being gimped, then how about you track down this 1080p version that obviously exists because of the Microsoft conspiracy that stops Sony games from being good. If you ran the game in 1080p the visual effects and frame rate would suffer, and in games like DMC4 a CONSISTENTLY HIGH frame rate is a REQUIREMENT. You will NEVER notices the drop in resolution, but you will ALWAYS see a frame rate drop.

I don't even have to get into how 90% of 1080p HDTV owners wasted money on a resolution they'll never notices because of things like view distance. Please people, spend more time choosing the display that's right for you, not the display that has the highest number and is officially endorsed by companies like Sony that want to sell you these TVs at a premium.

You guys and your silly 640p comments. COD4 runs lower than Halo 3 and has the best graphics in any console game, PERIOD!

Silly guys! :)

"dont troll the GAME ZONE"

Read the guildlines of the Gamer Zone or take your comments to the open zone.

zambrota5918d ago (Edited 5918d ago )

Uncharted has the best graphics in any console game till date not COD4.

COD4 doesnt even look as good as UT3

dont troll the GAME ZONE

@firstKnight

You should do that first.

COD4 best looking game on console??
might be on x360 but not on PS3 or any console.

Post your fanboyish comments in the OPEN ZONE

INehalemEXI5918d ago

Cod4 has jaggies its not the best looking. That would be Uncharted.

Rockwallaby5918d ago

but uncharted looks maybe a bit better

5918d ago
5918d ago
The Wood5918d ago

but you and zambrota should move all the 'Sorry but you lose....I win :)' stuff to the tab on the right and yes uncharted is the best graphics seen on a console thus far. It'll be interesting to see what NG2 natively runs at, I wonder cause if sigma was a first attempt on new 'hard to program for' hardware and managed 1080p then it should be a snip on the 'easy to program for' 360.

Bless the adorably all digital future! When it comes to PC games its not as big of an issue because there should always be another way to access single player games, but still, I hate to see anything get delisted.

Aaroncls775d ago

Well, DMC4 special edition has a lot of issues to run from Steam.
I have to get a modded executable to even be able to run the game on Windows 10.
Not sure if it is because the game runs in DirectX10 or what, but it sucks they have not even tried to fix it.

Sephiroushin74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

DMC4 Special Edition is not delisted, it was just the standard version, it has nothing to do with issues of performance or anything alike. Its just that Capcom probably do not want to sell the standard version, neither the standalone DMC3 version.

Devil May Cry 4 - 15 Years of Nero

Devil May Cry 4 launched 15 years ago today, bringing with it new character Nero. Has it stood the test of time?

Knushwood Butt434d ago

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.

chrisx434d ago

In DMC 5, it's 4 times you encounter the same bosses if you count the Vergil dlc lol

Knushwood Butt434d ago

Yeah, I'm only up to chapter 19 so the total count can only go up!

kevco33434d ago

No troll, I always preferred DMC.

No haters, please.

Knushwood Butt434d ago

I'm actually with you there, but DMC has that terrible writing. Alex Garland isn't it?

FallenAngel1984434d ago

Nero will always stand the rest of time against Donte and Viola

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds543d ago (Edited 543d ago )

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.

Inverno543d ago

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.

Yui_Suzumiya543d ago

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.

Hellcat2020543d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds543d ago

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?

Yui_Suzumiya543d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman543d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

YoungKingDoran543d ago

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.
