shmee5982d ago

DENGEKI confirmed that DMC x360 version has been cancelled for JAPAN .In Japan DMC 4 x360 wont even sell 50k copies.

PS3 version will sell over a million there as well as in EU

2008 sees total ps3 domination

unlimited5982d ago

Seriously ALL PS3 owners will get to enjoy this demo on the day one when the DMC4 demo comes out..As for the 360's owner they need to upgrade to gold to get it..lol..either that wait a week or two for it.I know it sucks to be a 360 owner and plus this game will crap out a lot of 360s.

fusionboxer5982d ago

This summer I was in Japan visiting my girlfriends relatives and I had the fortune (or misfortune) of trying out the DMC4 demo on a ps3 station tucked deep in "a hole in the wall" game shop in Akihabara.

Of course the DS section had completely overtaken the first floor and it was extremely hard to find my way upstairs to the ps2/psp/ps3 and 360 section, but I waded through and got there (somehow).

After flipping through a ninja gaiden demo and displaying my demo skills to the local japanese kids I decided to give a shot at testing out DMC4. Mind you I was only a huge fan of 1 and portions of 3, but I wasn't as attached to the series as most. I was actually in the game store looking for a psp game called Boxers Road 2 (which i didn't find).

So how was the demo? From my impressions of about 30 minutes with a 10 minute demo I came away somewhat unimpressed. The graphics were certainly nice, but I couldn't truly appreciate them with all the slowdowns. On top of that the character animations seemed boring and repetitive. Nothing like the newly released trailer so I'm pretty sure I was playing an extremely early build. The level design, which i believe will be kept in tact was sort of boring from a layout perspective, but impressive from a visual standpoint.

-Instead of interesting puzzles I had to use a zip line to get from one balcony to the other.

-Instead of flashy AND useful moves I just kept using the same combos as they seemed the most effective. (At this point I had a feeling the demo only allows you to use just a handful of moves)

+The Arm was certainly a cool add on. Probably the best part of the new character and combat system. There's nothing like slamming it down into the ground to back up a horde of enemies.

-The level layout was boring and extremely linear, but that's not really bad, just uneventful as a whole after coming off of God of War II, which at that point I had just completed.

+The visuals of the level I played were eye pleasing. It took me from a sort of castle looking market area, to a pier where I could see some of the water effects and enemies.

-Unfortunately there was a lot of slowdown, but i'm almost certain they'll fix that or have already fixed it by now.

But yea. The demo I played was pretty cool overall and i'm sure some DMC fans will be pleased, but from what I played I'll hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

Zhuk5982d ago (Edited 5982d ago )

looking forward to DMC4 on the Xbox 360, hopefully Dante's latest outing won't disappoint. I also look forward to seeing this look and play better on the Xbox 360 thanks to its superior next-gen design and award winning features

mighty_douche5982d ago

ok mate, 3 year old PC components, guess that makes my PC next-next-next-next-gen design.

Anyone, yeah im looking forward to getting my hands on a DMC game, seems like ever since the last one.
but didnt we already know a demo was coming?

Xemnas5982d ago

Better on 360 huh...hmm...oh boy hear we go agian.

Meus Renaissance5982d ago

Why do people even fall for this anymore? Zhuk is actually an intelligent person but wants to get on the nerves of other fans with his marketing comments.

chelcho5982d ago (Edited 5982d ago )

Are you Zhuk member of M$ PR or marketing?
You are inteligent and your strange bias towards M$ makes you unreliable.

WilliamRLBaker5982d ago (Edited 5982d ago )

many games we're lead platformed on the ps2 and then ported to the xbox and we're vastly superior....

lol foolish the ps3 isn't that way its architecture that basically screams forget every thing you learnt in the past 20 years and start over makes it crappy when it comes to games ported from the 360, not the other way around games actually shine better...ect then their ps3 counterparts when they are ported its been said by a few devs all ready.

another disagree with a fact:) lol its a FACT devs have been found saying when a game is ported from ps3 to 360 is vastly easier and the 360 version outshines...not the other way around...

below:

I could post more...

Oh and 360 is better then ps2 and ps3 combined at every thing...so....yeah:)

2nd edit: lets see 360 has more world wide user base, 360 outsells the ps3 in pretty much every region, except outer europe and japan, 360 has vastly more AA's and AAA's then ps3:) oh and lets add that uncharted ps3's gem of a game (laugh) only sold 7k units in japan.

oh and rolf i have you ignored but

oh and you wouldn't play it on a 360 controller cause your a sonyfanboy there is no other reason and you know it.

Killjoy30005982d ago

yeah ok a playstation classic being better on xbox360? lol i dont think so. thats like me saying halo 2 shoudlve gone to ps2. it just doesnt make sense. and stop saying award winning because the tech in the xbox has won no awards at all and if it has tell me these awards and who issued them @sshole

rofldings5982d ago (Edited 5982d ago )

"Oh and 360 is better then ps2 and ps3 combined at every thing...so....yeah:)"

With a comment like that, I should take everything you say seriously, right?

/sarcasm.

"lol its a FACT devs have been found saying when a game is ported from ps3 to 360 is vastly easier and the 360 version outshines...not the other way around..."

You're an idiot. If you're referring to that article that was posted on N4G a while ago. It's obvious that the 360's powerpc architecture is easier to code for than the PS3's - but if coded for PS3 first, it is easy to trasnfer the code to the 360's architecture, it doesn't "outshine" the ps3 version if made for the PS3 first. Your 360 is already an outdated PC, the PS3's full potential hasn't even been used yet.

Btw, I would never play DMC on a 360 controller. No thanks.

MADGameR5982d ago

THANKS to the NEWEST 360 feature! RRoD! LOL! Sure man..... and Halo 3 looks waaaaaay better than Crysis on DX10 ROFL!!! Seriously though, not every multi plat will look better on the 360, my bets this game will look better on PS3.

razer5982d ago

It's being developed on each system to take advantage of the hardware of each system. The comparisons between 360 vs PS3 will be huge news when this releases..

Edit: And people disagreed? Sheesh, it's already started, see rest of this article. I wish people would just say, "Cool, Excellent!", instead of b1tching about my console is bigger than your console, my console can take yours etc.. I still say by Atari 2600 can take you all on anyday..

mighty_douche5982d ago

"lol X console has better shoe lace textures than Y console.... X console is teh pwnerer....."

felidae5982d ago

lol. yeah, the best version will be on the 360 - the 1st really true last gen console ;-)

guys, get a life. DMC with a 360 controller .. hello?

PS3 is the future, trash your 3fixme and get a life.

turbogeek5982d ago (Edited 5982d ago )

QFT. it's funny seeing 360 owners get excited about FINALLY getting a franchise we've had for years ROFL

WilliamRLBaker5982d ago (Edited 5982d ago )

turbo..QFT means quoted for truth....you have to quote something...when you reply to him with QFT it means your saying hes telling the truth..

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."

VersusDMC4d ago

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

VersusDMC4d 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.

Exvalos3d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga3d ago

Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5

2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me

Friendlygamer4d 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

monkey6024d ago (Edited 4d 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_Suzumiya4d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde4d 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

SeTTriP3d ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.

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.

Aaroncls781d 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.

Sephiroushin80d ago (Edited 80d 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 Butt440d 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.

chrisx440d ago

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

Knushwood Butt440d ago

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

kevco33440d ago

No troll, I always preferred DMC.

No haters, please.

Knushwood Butt440d ago

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

FallenAngel1984440d ago

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