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?
I wonder on which resoulution will be new Ninja Gaiden.
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
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
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
DMC4 runs better on 360 anyways
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.
Please click on the link i posted above
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.
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.
mine is already paid in full. wOOt
COD4 anyone?
Halo sold millions and is usually the top game on Xbox Live. I think I missed something in your comment.
I think he was being sarcastic. Funny post.
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.
Silly guys! :)

"dont troll the GAME ZONE"
Read the guildlines of the Gamer Zone or take your comments to the open zone.
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
but uncharted looks maybe a bit better
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.
I've played thru it and reviewed it. I wouldn't buy this thing for 60 bucks, that's for sure. The biggest kick about it... it screams balls out last gen gameplay. Why can't the xbox 360 handle more? Oh, that's why... because it lacks a unified HDD and HDMI ports on every console sold to its user base.
Face it... xbox 360 gimped Ps3 development. Not the otherway around.
your just crying because your one of the idiots that talked sh!t about Halo 640p and now have to defend all the games that use these rez. Just type up any news here relating Halo 3 640p and there you are gamesblow (blow me games).

u have 24 ps3 games on 1080p (NATIVE) . You have just 2 x360 games on 1080p (UPSCALED)
no x360 game ever runs at 1080p at 60 fps.
However NGS and RR7 run at 1080p NATIVE at 60 fps
every game that you listed except Full Auto 2 (PS#3 exclusive) looks better on the 360. Deal with it.
RR7 --1080p at 60 fps better on ps3
FULL AUTO 2--better on PS3
blast factor --no need for comparison (ps3 exclusive)
NGS -no need for comparison (ps3 exclusive)
Super Stardust -no need for comparison (ps3 exclusive)
Vitua Tennis -better on ps3 at 1080p. better on x360 at 720p (gamespy)
Super Stardust- no need for comparison (ps3 exclusive)
Tekken 5-no need for comparison (ps3 exclusive)
The Darkness --no need for comparison (ps3 exclusive). PS3 version supports 1080p . x360 doesnt
Calling all cars--no need for comparison (ps3 exclusive)
all other multiplat games listed look better on PS3 at 1080p. However a comparison with x360 is invalid since only 2 games of x360's entire library support 1080p
some multiplat games look better on x360 at 720 p. However on HDMI 1.3 with FULL RANGE /WHITE enabled all i repeat almost ALL MULTIPLAT games look better on ps3
If you see the latest trend all multi games are looking better on PS3---eg Burnout/DMC4.
Burnout runs at 60 fps on ps3 and 40 fps on x360
Looks like I got lucky when i got it for my xbox 360..zambrota..most of those games you say are in 1080P are terrible...you actually care that harry potter is in 1080P...it dont make a difference what resolution a game is in if no one buys it...every xbox 360 game has the option of 1080P behind the box...they cant put that on every game without someone calling them out on it...fact is and someone please correct me if im wrong..that vga and hdmi connections can have games in 1080P.
Burnout paradise only in 60fps on ps3...you are kidding right?
Burnout paradise runs at 60fps on ps3 vs 40 fps on x360 (said by IGN)
I repeat said by IGN
http://www.youtube.com/watc... ...said not by me but by IGN. IGN recommends the PS3 version too
no x360 game can run at 1080P NATIVE
as for Darkness that was a typo
x360 upscales to 1080p
PS3 can do that do with the new update . However there are alot of ps3 games which run NATIVE at 1080p. nothing is NATIVE 1080p on x360.
The Super white/FULL RGB is turned on only with HDMI .
However an HDMI comparison is not valid too since saome YEA only some x360 supports HDMI 1.2. BUT ALL Ps3 models support HDMI 1.3
you fail in trying too say the xbox 360 version is not in 60fps...please show a link where it says the xbox 360 is in 40 fps...please have some proof or you just end up looking like the sad droid you are....
The video HEAD TO HEAD comparison clearly tells you that
Burnout x360 is 40fps
has poor FR
has screen tearing
has poor lighting
IGN said all these and these have to true
More misery for you
IGN is saying that ps3 DMC4 is better
http://n4g.com/ps3/News-107...
cry BOT cry
you have your claims....prove it that burnout paradise is 40 fps, framerate issues....what I can prove with my own eyes is the washed out look it has...show me a link..not a link saying the ps3 version of devil may cry is better...when in fact anyone with eyes and not a blind droid knows both are the same.
Demo looked ok on my screen, don't know what your all complaining about
All I have to say is, lol to all the dumb fanboys who are begging for 60 fps minimum in this and other games, because this is what you get as a result. When people force developers to run at 60 fps, you get worser, downgraded graphics/effects, and lower resolutions, as they try to unnaturally shoe-horn the game into running at a totally unnecessary framerate limitation.
OTHO, you guys are aware, the R&C runs 704p @ 60fps and the only reason why R1 is 720p is, because it was to late to make it into the production version. Guess what R2 will run at.
No it doesn't. Stop spreading crap.
R&C on the PS3 runs at 720p - exactly 1280x720 pixel framebuffer.
Trying to use the standard overscan region that almost every game confines their active drawing area from to to claim a game is running at a lower rez is just pathetic.

Idea was too late to be useful on Resistance

BTW: I still have a hard time to believe, DMC4 is less then 720, and I still haven't seen any prove, that the PS3 version of CoD4 is less, either. Unless they do some magic to scale those lines to full 720p without effort, I have my doubts. Both, DMC4 and CoD4 show the full 720 lines on my screen (no black bars).
DMC is all about action! i played the demo, several times, I'm getting it tuesday, this doesn't sway my opinion of the game at all, i thought it looked great!
i guess if a had to choose between 720p30fps or 640p60fps .... i would go with 640p60fps..
@Zambrota... cancel my preorder? NEVER, i need a new game..
I would NEVER sacrifice resolution for an unecessary increase in framerate. Would you rather watch 1080p Blu-Ray at 24 fps, or regular 480p DVDs at 60 fps? Exactly.
I play a ton of COD4 and UT3 on my PS3 daily and every day i wish that UT3 ran at 60fps because COD4 looks so smooth... if you cant see that then you must be blind .
Movies are a whole different beast when it comes to fps so i would even comment on that..
I guess i wish that these games had a option to choose either 60fps640p or 30fps720p..
This under performing resolution is gettin sad real fast.. i KNEW this game should have stayed on PS3 only.. capcom had NO business goin multiplat with this one.. i wonder if theyll fuk over street fighter? Theres no reason 2 be spending all this cash on HD systems if the games dont even come HD.. im still gettin this game tho because im a DMC fan.. but i hope this dont happen again.. i need for PS3 to win again so capcom will get back on sonys nuts.. Then we can have our TRUE HD back
dmc4 runs better on the 360? are you an idiot. please give evidence behind that statement.
they both run the same only difference is REVIEWERS said the response was quicker on the ps3 version and the ps3 controller made it feel better.
nice try though dumbass
the demo looked great so chill.
It WOULD have been solid if PS3 exclusive.. i mean just look at NG Sigma.. 1080p 60 Frames.. same type of game
Both versions run great and are of the same performance level, so just play the one you like! For me, it will be the PS3 version because the controller just feels so much more natural to me seeing as how I have been playing the series since the first game's inception on the PS2. I really don't see how 640p should degrade the way the game PLAYS, but then again we "gamers" don't play games for fun anymore, do we? The only reason I had a problem with Halo 3 is not because it was a 640p game, but because it just was not the leap in gameplay that the hype machine was supposedly making it out to be. And CoD 4's singleplayer was just short as hell, but it had way better multiplayer than Halo 3.
Just play the version on the system you prefer the most and stop worrying!
Jesus fanboys are dumb!
Why the hell are people judging games by graphics and not entertainment? That should be first and foremost the most important aspect of any game. You people make me sad, your judgment is completely wrong.
Stop Fukin up our debates.. PICK A SIDE SOLDIER, and shut ur tree huggin freedom fightin mouth.. just playin man lol..
you should know by now thats what we do here.. so except it or roll out

PPL are judging for graphics because they spent over 500$ and want BANG for their buck.. if you want gameplay over graphics then go get a Wii.. thats what i did.. but sometimes i want to see TRUE HD A$$ whoopins
Even though it was a PS3 exclusive from the start?
No matter what it started out as, it had to be finished on both systems.
PS3 has more HD games. The 360 doesn't. Until the 360 can put out a game to top Uncharted & run at 720p. All Xbots really need to settle down.
Gears on the old ass unreal engine doesn't hold up to UT3.
Its doesnt matter if ps3 has more HD games, what matters is the quality of textures used. 360 games use more bump mapped and colorful textures than any of ps3 games. I dont care if i get 1080i or 720p on my 50" HDTV as long as i dont get bland last gen textures. For that i can go and buy another ps. I was amazed at quality of 360 graphics when i first played PDZ 2 years back. Look at kameo as well, it still has better graphics than drake's flat lifeless textures.
I'm sure all consoles can do 120fps in 1080p with pacman and pong, but with normal mapping, 2xAA etc dont expect games to run 1080p even with ur mighty cell.
Seriously guys, grow up.
Also i dont understand how someone can say its the 360's fault for a developer being lazy and not utilizing another platforms potential
However there is minimal diff between 1080i and 720p
1080p and 1080i are not same thing
Try Uncharted on 1080p(UPSCALED) and 720p
However an ordinary game like NFS will look bad on both resolutions
Theres massive difference between 720p and 1080p.
YOU HAVE 0 GAMES ON X360 THAT RUNS at 1080P NATIVE
YOU HAVE NO GAMES ON x360 THAT RUNS AT 1080P NATIVE at 60FPS
geez that ruined my day i mean remember back at e3 05(or 6 cant remember) when we all saw killzone a thought thats nextgen game play. but developers area cheep and whant to make a fast product so we suffer with games like cods and its bad 640 resolusion and the halo problem of them saying that we had to low res to make it look the way it does...BS... how long do we have to what for a true 1080 game.
sorry for the spelling
