DMC4 Hands-On - PS3/X360 Identical and Demo Close

Gameplayer has gone live with their thoughts on one of 2008's biggest releases, Devil May Cry 4, following a hands-on with the game. They played both versions of the title on what they believe is a ready-to-go demo.

"This makes us think that what we played was actually a genuine demo that is set to be released on both formats as a download in the near future… maybe even post-TGS."

surprising people with demo's (Lost Planet). I think that strategy worked well for them and we will see a DMC demo real soon. I also think Capcom will be true to both platforms and make a game that matches for both the PS3 and 360.

[akaFullMetal]

i still think because they went multi alot of ps3 owners feel somewhat betrayed, and wont get it, i mean you never see these articles of dmc go up to 1000 anymore on this site after capcom said it was multi, and for some reason im not hyped for this game, maybe i will later but right now im not??? weird?

[BloodySinner]

Well, that's just too bad for them, isn't it? We gain, they "lose".

[jackdoe]

It's kind of like the whole Paramount HD-DVD exclusive dealy. When people bought a Blu-Ray player, they expected to get a Paramount movie. Same here. When people bought the PS3, they expected to get DMC4 exclusive. I mean, Capcom could have avoided the backlash of a lot of fans by announcing up front that the game would be multi. They could also win fanboy support by making the next Lost Planet and Dead Rising multi.

[WIIIS1]

Yeah, its going to be the same reaction when the announcements are made for MGS and FF.

[jackdoe]

Lol. In your dreams BS3. Not at this TGS.

[SlappingOysters]

I just don't get this at all. your paramount example is a joke. you can still get DMC4. if you choose not get the game on principle, then you've giving Capcom more reason to ignore PS3. if there is no change in the quality of the game why would you care that it is on X360 too. Or are you just annoyed that you spent extra money on a PS3 for games you could have played on an X360 - that argument I understand

[xaphanze]

no not weird, im not hyped either. Capcom did betray us.

[BloodySinner]

Pretty pathetic of you.

[xaphanze]

3 exclusives for ps2. Nothing more to say.

[Lavagasm]

2 exclusives, DMC3 is on the PC. Personally I would be angry myself if I found something I specifically bought a console for was no loner exclusive. But on the other hand it is a good thing that more people are getting to play DMC4. This is an amazing series, I loved all three on my PS2, and I'll love the new one once is comes out.

[EZCheez]

This game has pretty much fallen completely off my radar.

Not that I never liked it though. I loved the original. This whole exclusive spin has also kind of soiled this game for me. So much argument over a game that isn't even out yet. Of course, that's what we're doing on this site every day, isn't it?

[jackdoe]

Nice. Will be waiting for the demo.

-edit- Lol. Got a disagree for saying that I would be waiting for the demo. Gotta love N4G.

[MalcomGrasley]

With PS3 owners having:

God of War 1/2/3
Heavenly Sword
Ninja Gaiden Sigma and 2

and the king of console fighting games God Hand.

A gimped down to 360 graphics level DMC just isn't going to cut it compared to the rest of the PS3's non-gimped exclusives.

[BloodySinner]

What are you talking about? Ninja Gaiden 2 isn't on the PS3. As for Devil May Cry 4's graphics, they've been like that WAY before it went multiplaform (when it was announced as a PS3 exclusive). So don't try to twist the story. :-/

God Hand received piss poor reviews and Heavenly Sword didn't meet expectations. :-/

[Skerj]

You get points for recognizing the awesome that was/is God Hand.

[The Karate Kid]

I echo all of you all comments. Once this game was announced multi, the hype for this game went str8 to the bottom. It will be a great game though and it will sell like crazy, however going multi kinda killed the hype. At the very least, It would have been a terrific timed exclusive on the Playstation Platform.

Bubbles for you Malcom!

How come games like this can get away with being repetative and lacking any innovation what so ever but games like Heavenly Sword and Lair get beat on for taking gameing to new levels. I have a PS3 but this refers to gaming in general. I am more than positive the 360 will get a TRUE next gen title that just gets blown off while some same as we had five years ago game gets praised to high heaven. I am glad that some people forgot about this damn game. It is the same as the first one so just play that and you will no what it is like.

[heavyarms]

The game looks great and if you have place DMC games than this is a must buy

[jax07]

What the hell is so good about this game. Name three things you can do in this game that you cant in any of the others.

[Skerj]

1. Devil Bringer
2. Style Switching on the fly
3. Play as Nero

There!!

[Douchebaggery]

DMC paved the way for game like ninja gaiden and god of war

[DemiseofPandas]

points for you uh_what. No one remembers that DMC practically created this genre that people claim to love so much. I really am sick of people crying that the games arent different. I mean 3 had the weapon change on the fly system, and basically a job class system so you choose your style of play. The game obviously had new moves and a lot of new weapons. I can't wait until Ninja Gaiden 3, are people complain that its the same?(another side note if everyone claims that devil may cry 3 has stupid enemies, how did it become notorious for being such a hard game?)

The PS3 version must be holding the 360 version back, a shame

[AllroundGamer]

and Xbox360 version will be holding people back from playing the game, you know, the RROD...

[Funky Town_TX]

Sony babies are sad. IF you get to play the game it does not matter what system they make it on. Okay I will be getting Halo3 next Tuesday. If they made that game on PS3, PS2 Xbox, Wii, Gamecube, cell phones, DS, Sega Dreamcast, Neo Geo, and Atari 2600 I would not give a darn. If I get to play it then I'm cool. This is why I hate Sony fangirls so much. The arrogance came from Sony and it has rubbed of to their customers. NO GAME IS WORTHY OF THE PS3.

[Keowrath]

Looking forward to the game. Loved One, Two was pretty sucky but it shows they learnt from their mistakes by releasing the 3rd one. Still rate the first one as one of the best ever action games of all time.

I don't really feel betrayed that the game is being released on the 360. If it had remained an exclusive I doubt it would have upset the 360 owners that much. I've got a PS3, it's still coming out for my console so I don't really care.

Capcom have always been good at making money. Releasing the game to both audiences is obviously gonna net them more cash.
