Devil May Cry on PS3 to feature exclusive content?

In this month's issue of Famitsu, a popular Japanese magazine, they reveal that Capcom will be including exclusive features in the PS3 version of Devil May Cry 4. Some of these new features include; 5.1 LPCM audio, PSN support, and the option to install data to the hard drive. Apparently though, game data takes up 5GB of storage, but on the bright side of things, it removes all load times in the game.

[lynx1halo]

thats all right with me .....

@KidMakeshift

True ..True......that is the only thing about the PS3 i could do without is the download times.......I mean is it really necessary to download a demo and then download it again to your PS3??(Hardware wise I know it is but still)

[KidMakeshift]

Yeah, but think about how long that install is going to take. Why are PS3 installs so slow?

Gamersyde has some new videos of DMC4

[Azures]

It won't take that long. Ninja Gaiden did something similar.

[Kleptic]

well if it makes as big of a difference after the install as it did for UT3...I am all for it...UT3 is officially the only console UE3 based game that no longer has "real time texture loading", as long as you use the install game utility (it has just as much texture pop in as any other UE3 game if you don't)...I absolutely despised that ugly crap in Vegas and Gears...and apparently ME has it worse than most UE3 games, although I haven't noticed it nearly as much as I did with the Gears cutscenes...

oh well though...still not too interested in this game...GoW 3 has my interest as far as action games go...and 360 owners shouldn't care either, NG 2 will stomp this junker without a sweat...

[KidMakeshift]

Yeah, UT3 for PS3 has been playing perfectly for me.

I don't get the user mod importing. It sound's complicated

[marinelife9]

Uncharted spoiled me with getting to play through an entire game without a single load time. All games from here on out should be that way no exceptions.

Hopefully GTAIV won't have load times.

[Lifendz]

think about how long that install time is? Are you serious? Okay, here's what you do to resolve that, my little fanboy. I get the game, pop it in, install, and then...watch TV :O! Or maybe....go outside! Or perhaps use the bathroom. Whatever I decide to do I can find something to do while the game installs. And then, once the install is done, I get to play a seamless DMC which is something you xbots can't do because of no standard hard drive. lol@you

[KidMakeshift]

Uh, it's not like we're mindless drones blankly staring at our tv in anticipation of the install completion screen. I was simply stating that the PS3 takes a ridiculous time to install. It is a "game" console after all, right? The last thing a person wants to do when they get a new game is waiting a half hour for it to install or receive a patch. Sony needs to find a way to zip install components faster.

So Lifendz, why don't you go eat a d*ck and come back when you actually have something to say

[Texas GMR]

Cool. That's why MS should have put a hard drive into every 360.

[TheXgamerLive]

Who cares about that, it's no problem on the faster 360.

This isn't really a big think at all to me. I just hope the game is good but the more I see of it the less I think of it.

[spec_ops_comm]

LOL!

Sure, you wouldn't care about a 10 second load time once, but what happens if it occurs before every cutscene, level change, boss battle, etc..???

I have never met a gamer before who didn't care about load times. Next to poor gameplay itself, load times are one of the biggest gaming pet peeves of all time.

[TheXgamerLive]

I mean as long as there not as bad as the ones in the Harry Potter games, now those suck.

[Rikitatsu]

PSN Support ? Does that means DMC4 won't Support XBL ?

Anyway No Load times is great !!!

[toughNAME]

every 360 game supports LIVE

[TANOD]

Many ps3 games have 0 load times ---that includes UNCHRATED too ---THE BEST LOOKING GAME OF ALL TIME (till date)

[Kleptic]

yeah 360 games have to support live in some ways as part of a licensing agreement...

that doesn't mean it will have online play or anything...just that achievements and stuff have to be loaded into XBL as far as I know...

the article is sort of misleading...does this mean the PSN will support additional DLC or something?...and XBL won't?...thats hardly exclusive content if it just means it load rewards into Home or whatever...it has to support achievements in order to be on the 360...so whatever...the HDD thing is cool though...suprising though that they don't incorporate that option on the 360 also...if the 360 owner has an HDD, then install...if you were are one of the chumps that uses those overpriced memory packs...get a new hobby...

[KrazyKoala]

CRYSIS is the best looking game. Uncharted looks great but don't forget PC games pwn everything else graphically.

[Blademask]

It will be interesting to see of the PS3 version REALLY has the option to utilize the HDD. Unreal already has this option. There are still loading times though, so not sure what the point of that was.

I think this one is still a rumor, unless anyone has scanned famitsu? I think this is the same RUMOR from the NEOGAF forums... PSU is the same people that said GT5 had damage.

Take this one very lightly.

[unlimited]

Most of all PS3 games already taking advantage of the hard drive so why wouldn't this game would be any different.

[Kleptic]

the HDD install option on UT3 makes map loading marginally faster overall...but more importantly, for me at least, almost completely cures the texture loading problems that every console UE3 game has had so far (PCs didn't have it obviously, because of the HDD...this is the first PS3 UE3 based game to take advantage of it...Vegas didn't...and "popped" just as bad as Gears)...

[jackdoe]

Not a rumor. 1up got a near final build that allowed for installation. No load times after installation.

[ravinash]

So if you don't want to sit and wait for it to install then you can jump right in.
otherwise, a little wait will reward you with seamless playing.

[Spike47]

it's gonna happen. Capcom already apologized to ps3 fans for not supporting them that much so exclusive content on ps3 is definetly possible.

Still, this game is'nt my cup of tea, I'm gonna buy HAZE instead.

[eagle21]

PS3 has best version with no load times. GTAIV PS3 has this too right? I think so.

[actas123]

Man, I hope GTA IV won't have some size issues and long load times because its been developed for the 360 as well.. What the hick man, they should not have made GTA multi, xbox limitations (limited DVD size, no hard drive, slow... ) make games look bad and kill the potential in em.

[shrimpboat]

I have a 250 gig hardrive so 5 gigs is nothing.

[UltramanJ]

...are clearly two of the biggest closet Sony fans I've ever seen. Nobody could be that stupid and actually be serious. Thanks for the laughs guys.

[Meus Renaissance]

Although this is great that we have lesser load times, for those who do not have the biggest HDD 5GB is alot, especially when other games take so many GB's aswell. It's ridiculous. We'll have to upgrade our HDD's one day to actually play a game. People were upset with Heavenly Sword's need for 2GB, this is more than double that. As far as I know, games like Uncharted do not do this - so why can't it be the same for all?

[ThaGeNeCySt]

Not all developers use the same technique...

anyways, what's the maximum size HDD the PS3 can read?

[titntin]

Where's the beef dude? Use the feature, don't use the feature, its your choice!
Anyone with the remotest sense, will install the data and play without load times when they first get the game and are playing it a lot, and then uninstal the data when they are finished or have completed the game. If you've not much room, then play with loading times....

If you filling your machine with useless media - don't! Just share it over a media server like Tversity, or grab a cheap usb drive to keep media on if you must have it directly plugged in. I have almost every PSN game you can download, and a lot of blu ray games, but I've only used 35 gig.

[Raiyel]

I've got a Lacie Terabyte HD hooked up and it works like a charm. (1000gigs)

[ThaGeNeCySt]

1 TB? JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ

If you're able to change your HDD to those massive sizes then these game installs shouldn't be a problem 4 u

[monks]

@ThaGeNeCySt

i have seen a 750gb internal and LaCie 1.6TB Biggest F800 External USB

to date but in pricipal any 2.5", SATA internal should work

[shrimpboat]

I have a 250 gig Western Digital and a 500 usb drive for back ups and movies and stuff. Im gonna fill the 250 gig with downloadable games like Warhawk, and SOCOM Confrontation.

[SeanScythe]

I posted this same report yesterday and it failed because it had already been submited before! How the hell does this one pass?

[power of Green]

PS3 fanboys will post anything they think will make the PS3 look good many times if they think they can get away with it.

All you have to do is wait for certain times of the day theres always enough Sony fanboy losers working Swing and grave-yard

[Zhuk]

the fandroids control the content on this site, they censor at their will, just like how the Soviets use to control the news.

Luckily there are some of us who are fighting this menace to the best of our abilities by providing logical and objective thought on the site where it is lacking.

[Devr]

Haha wow, you guys can't be serious XD

To the OP... Tough luck dude. You can't really help it, some people just don't bother to check whether the story is a duplicate or not.

[Azures]

Zhuk, what a sad life you must lead to pretend to bring your own brand of hypocritical "justice" to a comment site full of jackasses. People have killed themselves for less, so feel free to stick a fork in the light socket.

[Ashta]

"Luckily there are some of us who are fighting this menace to the best of our abilities by providing logical and objective thought on the site where it is lacking."

I don't know which part was funnier really. The "logical and objective" part of the "fighting this menace" part.

You sir...oh you shall now be called "Tin Foil Hat Zhuk". You have serious issues or something to claim that this site is "PS3 favorable or run by Sony fanboys". I honestly cant see where you would come up with something like that. Isn't Bloodmask and Round Peg like the top contributors on this site? And isn't their news always drastically geared towards anti-sony and pro-360 news? Yeah, pretty sure it is.

Not to mention POG and IceWake always seem to pop in to fluff whatever 360 hard-on the contributor was sporting that day.

[power of Green]

Believe what you wan't I'v been a member of this site sence way back when the sites were split up.

(((Azures))) Sure rabid!, talk about sad! look who's so fanatical you personally attack members. lol Thats some twisted sh*t you speak of take a break. WoW

[Azures]

Its really not tough to tell people to go kill themselves. I want all the blindly biased BS to end, I don't care what side its on; but then people like zhuk and you would have alot less to do.

[Kleptic]

PoG...I don't care when you joined this site...the moment you defend someone like Zhuck...is the moment you are no longer needed...

Zhuck is a fecking robot...he is not real...you are allowed to personally attack robots, because they are not real...

Zhuck has never once made a single useful comment in his history at this site...he claims to be "logical"..and occasionally uses words larger than his processors clock speed...but he is the very definition of a troll...

you 360 fanboy retards differ from even the most fanatical Sony tards in one regard...you fecking defend each other...Bill Gates used to try to start flamewars with obviously stupid comments...and even Sony fanboys told him he was an idiot...yet TheMart, Zhuck, and IceWake come up with the stupidest comments of all time on a regular basis...and then you other 360 maniacs high-five them and proceed to tongue-dart their wrong ones...something is seriously screwed up with some of you...

[coolclimate0]

all the xbots are just behind our Iron curtain that zangeif was forced to put up

[Guwapo77]

I asked the same damn thing to TnS. I wrote a comment yesterday on your post and then I look this morning and it failed but turn right around and see the exact same thing posted and passed. I'm with you on this one...you royally got screwed over by fanboyism if you ask me.

[THUNDERMARE]

The best comment ever.

[THUNDERMARE]

The best comment ever.

[Zool 08]

You tell those stupid xbots, bubbles for you mate.

[ravinash]

providing logical and objective thought implies that you your providing a reasonable and balanced argument.
Reporter you aren’t!

[monkey602]

5 GB is way too much for me to spare

[shrimpboat]

Then don't do a install. it is optional

[Darkiewonder]

ps3 is in the form of a blu-ray disc featuring 60 minutes of "movie" content.

I'm going to bet they read this off neogaf. This is PSU. ;3

[Blademask]

..

[ThaGeNeCySt]

0 Load Time = great

EDIT: LOL @ DISAGREE

0 Load Time = bad?

[name]

Eh, I have an 80 gig. I own have saved files of cod4,uncharted,ratchet,motorst orm,heavenly sword, resistance, unreal tournament 3, warhawk,folklore, as well as about 5 or 6 ps2 games stored on the internal memory card. I also have alot of music and videos/pictures. I still have 63 gb of data left on my ps3.

[Blademask]

Oh wait, he is already here.

[name]

And this doesn't seem like exclusive content. It's just stuff they can only do on the Ps3. They can't do the harddrive thing for the 360 cause its not standard on there. The audio thing could possibly be due to the blu ray disc, and I dont know of any 360 games with psn support.

[Kleptic]

they easily could do it on the 360...its required caching that they can't do on the 360...if its an option for those 360 owners that do have an HDD...then why can't they do it?

I won't be suprised if news surfaces that this option will be available on the 360 also...

[Quickstrike]

5 GB down for this bad boy. Is it possible to add more GB for memory on the PS3? i have like 30 something GB left and its just gona dissapear next year when i start buying like 4 games a month.

[Guwapo77]

Don't complain about the 5gigs for this game when you have the option to upgrade. Sony made it very easy to replace your harddrive. If your not certain as to what to get, check out my link below.

http://www.newegg.com/Produ... -320gig 2.5 internal - $210.00

Ofcourse you can buy cheaper ones with less space. But for the price and storage space on this one...it can't be beat.

[4D Zangief]

The HDD partial install for a lot of PS3 titles. This makes up for the extremely slow load times of the 2X BD drive.

Sony droids praise this aspect but it is just a crutch for even more inadequacies of the crippled PS3 hardware.

[Devr]

Games like Uncharted and Haze have zero load times without having to be installed.

[Ashta]

blah blah blah! does crap continuously just fall out of your mouth or something? My BR drive loads and runs just fine and dandy if you ask me. Never had to wait all those long and exhuberent long times like many of you xbots like to claim.

But...really...do you even own a PS3? Are you privy to all of the inner workings of a product you actually own? or are you going to go by the biased second hand information that Planet Xbox gives you?

[Blademask]

Sorry

Owned again.

[novaIS350]

but..but..teh blu-ray is 2x.

It's ok bro, it's just a game console..it won't get you laid anytime soon, nor will it pay the bills. Grow up a little

[DJ]

That PS3's "slow-ass Blu-ray drive" is actually faster than the 360's DVD drive. He's really been talking crap about the 360 this entire time!

[shrimpboat]

Ok so why does the Xbox version also have load times. Explain that? The install feature is a awesome feature and you are just jealous. Who wants to look at load screens if you don't have to. Oblivion loaded a hell of alot faster on the PS3 version also so explain that. I guess 2x doesn't matter then.

[AliC]

Well you making me laugh with all your ill informed comments.

Grats Zangief 4D

[coolclimate0]

xbots prefer xbox, they dont even research anything! Go ahead zangeif and Google "ps3 hard drive vs xbox hard drive" and just for giggles hit im feeling lucky

[Guwapo77]

He has a point here. The XBox 360 has a 12x DVD player in it at 1x it transfers 1,350kb/s. PS3 has the 2x Blu-Ray player, it transfers at 72mbit/s.

Blu-ray speed never varies always 9MB/s

12x DVD player speed varies ranging from 9-16MB/s

But the slowest 12x DVD speed is Blu-Ray's constant.

The way Sony designed the PS3, the speed of the drive isn't really an issue at all thanks to the HDD. We all know HDD smokes all drives (at this time).

[Antiomo]

Last I read 1 x bd drive reads JUST as much data as a 16 x dvd drive...

It's funny but my friend who is also an xbox troll like yourself brought up this same exact comment. Misinformed and blinded by fanboyism just makes you look stupid.

Sorry you lose.... its like saying 1 meter is shorter than 10 cm's

[Guwapo77]

Please provide your reference. Because every where I looked that up shows the speeds I listed above. If you have updated information PM the link as I would like to review it. Thanks in advance.

[NanoGeekTech]

I can't wait for 08.....................

[Irving]

This is what happens when PS3 is the lead platform. Make full use of the hardware, no compromise !!

[4D Zangief]

this type of thought process exists only in someone that can be classified as a Sony lemming. All games are made on PCs first. What do you think that game coders hook up a PS3 to a TV and code a game?

For a further point of reference I recommend you read this interview. It states the following key aspects of my point.

"I remember when development on this game first started. It was before the PS3 was finalized, and I believe you started to develop it on the PC, and then move it over to the PS3. Can you talk about that process a little bit?"

"HK: Yeah. As I've mentioned before, we started developing this on the PC on the MT Framework -- the internal Capcom engine. The PS3 specs were not finalized at that stage when we started developing it, so we did start to develop it on the PC. By developing it on the PC, it's very easy for us to work with the graphics and the gameplay, and see how the game is going to play. Actually, we're still continuing to develop it on the PC, as well as being able to check how it runs on the 360 and the PS3."

http://www.gamegrep.com/new...

You see Sony lemmings seem to think that using PS3 as the lead platform is some sort of benefit but it is really a hindrance. With 360 architecture being so somilar to PC(where all games are made first). It is a great benefit to games producers.

The inferior cell architecture, not so much. These are the kinds of things that happen when you design a console(PS3), as a Blu-ray player first and a games console second.

[unlimited]

Just give it up Zangief even your own people disagree with you..just accept it and move on ..unless you want to have one bubble by the end of this week..

[RudeSole Devil]

You are fuc_king idiot, please do your self a favor get a job buy your self a PS3 and resend your broken Xbox back to Microsoft for the tenth time.

[NikV3]

you code for a specific hardware, dumb@ss

[name]

Exactly. God of war didnt even have load times on the PS2. And uncharted didnt have any load times. I don't even think ratchet did.

[Jinxstar]

Ratchet and Clank had load times. When you fly in the ship from planet to planet. Thats the load time. Also uncharted had a few load times but had some texture pop in... At least my copy did... It was never a big deal though. They were both phenominal games...

[bootsielon]

...they had to. They just couldn't fit the whole thing on a measly DVD8.5, so they just left what they could on 360. They should call the Xbox 360 version "Devil May Cry 4: Essentials".

[Kleptic]

while I really don't care which version is superior because I am not really a fan of the series...and that both versions will be pretty similar content wise...

that was extremely funny...you just got me in trouble at work...

[Bathyj]

If you guys dont want to upgrade your Hard Drives just put all your videos, pix and music on an external USB and save the internal for game saves and demos.

Or do like me and have a 250 internal and a 500 external and then you can have it all. BWHAHAHAHAHAHA !!

[faisdotal]

Now there's something you don't see everyday. Better yet , once they get used to this they'll probably understand the whole "Open Network" concept. Then who knows , they may get idea's and create a game that takes advantage of PSN and interoperate Game 3.0 into it. I mean like seriously , why not? I've always enjoyed the MUGEN concept and hope that CAPCOM will create something like it.

[Meus Renaissance]

PSN Support would mean something relating to Home.

[acetw1n]

All that's cool and all, but dose dmc4 support sixaixs function and more importantly dose it support the rumble? thats all i want to know.

[Guwapo77]

Games being released in '08 will have rumble support already in them. Older games will have a patch to implement rumble support later if the developer wishes to, ie. Heavenly Sword.

[Luca Blight]

that he can't enjoy games that aren't made for "his" system(s). Sucks to be him, right?

[Bathyj]

Yup.

He's ugly inside, and outside.

[acetw1n]

zhuk & zangief need to stay out of grown folks conversations, that's what i tell my 8 eight year old, I mean really ,they act like they work for bill gates, he aint signing your checks homie, thats if they even have jobs.

[DJ]

Kinda odd, but I wonder what they're planning. Online co-op? The uncompressed audio is a really sweet bonus too; yay for blu-ray.

[bootsielon]

That he has been owned by everyone on the site, and yet he still exposes himself to threads full of PS3 fans to keep getting his ass banged. Oh man, it's so funny I'm in tears now...

[power of Green]

I wonder if this is going to be like the JAPANESE *DMC4 PS3 bunbles*. IF this is true expect the two versions to be different and this supposed exclusive gift is either due to the game being a pain in the ass or to take the attention away from the differences. lol

[mighty_douche]

yeah your probably right..... Or M$ where stupid enough to release a "next-gen" console with out a HDD, trying to help boost their sales on the HDD enabled Units (making more $$) but instead its now starting to come back and bite them in the ass? well when i say M$ i mean you guys.

[macalatus]

Hey POG, no downgraded pictures this time? LOL!! ;-)

[Anego Montoya FTMFW]

they FORGOT where DMC was born?

[lou]

Sweet. The Hard drive in every system is paying off.

[MaximusPrime]

when PlayTV releases here in UK, i will buy that and a new 250gb HDD for my PS3 ;)

[crookie-crook]

Well, I konw quite a lot of people don't wanna experiment with their PS3's HDD, just in case, if ya know what I mean.

How about using an external/portable HDD, move everything (media files only, of course) from the PS3 and PC/lappy to the external HDD and leaving their PS3's HDD for gaming only and your HDD for backup and media source.

(One thing I haven't tried for the time being is creating a playlist for music to be played back from the external HDD, will this work?)

Pros:
Copy media from friends onto your HDD and playback on both PS3 & PC.
Some portable (e.g 250gb) are powered through the USB, no power cable required
Saves space on your PS3's HDD for game related things only. Saves, demos, game data etc...
No fuss to replace internal HDD

Cons:
An extra device sitting by your PS3
That's all I can think of for cons...

I could be wrong on a few things, but yeh, let me know.

[Chris Brown]

Hopes the feature exclusive content is the coolest character of all time Vergil.

[Jinxstar]

Dude. Who cares about 5 gig's. Its an option. Not a need... Also when your done you can delete it and re install if you ever want to play again... It's just an option thats there... Just like HS and Ninja Gaiden Sigma...

[mighty_douche]

They just like to piss N moan about anything. I bet half the dudes up ^^there wont even buy this game yet they still make this a big deal. Some sad f*ckers just take a negative look at anything.

[Anything but Cute]

Why on earth would PS3 version have anything better? Capcom keeps going out of their way to say that there is no difference between the PS3 and XBOX 360 versions of the game.

Trust me, Capcom is not gonna do the PS3 any favors.

[Mr_Kuwabara]

Not bad, would be great if this is indeed confirmed to be true.

[fopums]

Zero load time FTW, I can spare 5 gig's :D

dont know what the PSN content could be though, thats interesting

[Chris Brown]

DMC series is one of the best series in the world and crap gaiden is nothing compare to DMC.
And DMC have one of the best combos watch the video if you do not trust me.

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

[Prototype]

I wasn't a big fan of the Devil May Cry series however I plan on renting this one in case it does turn out good.

For 4D Zangief; you remind me of the original Zangief from the older Street Fighter 2 games, slow, stupid, and easy to beat using the same jump/kick move. Instead of speaking out of jealously how about actually comming out saying you hate how the ps3 is getting somewhere and the 360 isn't really going anywhere but in circles. Oh but I already can predict what your gonna say...

"Devil May Cry 4 on the 360 is gonna be better because we have achievements" which makes very little sense in the long run since achievements was around even before the 360 just wasn't as mainstream as it is now.

[Laexerias]

as a great fan of the franchise, i need to say..
if u dont play the previous games from dmc, u dont need to play this.

[Power of Blu]

As a great fan of the franchise, I can honestly say Laexerias what the hell are you talking about?!

So he shouldn't play it because he didn't play the previous ones. That makes no sense whatsoever and It's probably up to Prototype to decide what he needs or doesn't need to play.

[jvsantos]

Cauz Unchart-ed May/Will Cry and Ratchetz LAZERGUNPEWPEWPEW the 360s gamez and Altair suicided himself on the X360 but not the PS3.

Jeez.

Call X360 fanboys and you guys act worse than them. Just buy whatever console you like better and leave the guy who bought the other one alone. I only own a PS3, mostly for the Blu-Ray disk, but recent games and announcements have made me happy. Why this fanboy war? You guys won't determine the outcome anyways, the average consumers, who just buy games, play, and don't read any of these forums will. Both consoles are great.

[devilhunterx]

extra costumes. e.g. Genji 2

[Darkiewonder]

It sounds better than changing the look of nero/dante ;3

[Power of Blu]

Yeah, costumes sounds about right. Capcom love playing dress up with their games. There were streetfighter outfits in the last Onimusha, Maybe Nero will get a Bionic Commando Skin with demonic/cybernetic arm.

[f7ss1]

you're a douchebag.

[Slayer OP]

indeed that statement is true.

[paracardium]

That's why ps3 is the superior system people and why the 360 dies is no competetion.As we will see in 2008.

[SIX]

That's a bit much. As per a comment above. I guess you can always delete it after you finish the game.

[vilmer]

I was debating whether or not to get it for the PS3 or 360. After a few seconds of deep thought, PS3 version it is. On top of that, DMC to me has always been a Sony "product" and I would feel icky inside playing it on a microsoft machine :P

[crookie-crook]

yup it'd be weird playing this on a different console, it wouldn't have that DMC effect as it does on Sony's console - all DMC1,2 & 3 players would agree. Well I hope so... LoL

[GUNS N SWORDS]

the content doesn't seam much, i'm just interested in the story not the behind the scenes type of stuff or the ability to store it on your hard drive, id rather have other stuff on my hard drive than having all my games on it.

and as for people who have a ps3 why have 50 gigs of game data on your hard drive, i know DMC4 is not 50 gigs but, if you have a 60 you are now left with 10, if you have a 80 then you'll have 30 gigs left.

i'm not going to have it on my hard drive just for loading times, it will be because i have the space for it and it seams that it's not necessary, i have a 120 and id rather keep other stuff on it.

[athlon770]

I'm sure you have already realized this, but the game data is 5gig, not 50gig. So yes, even people that purchased the original 20gig system can play this game after installing the data to the drive.

But if you feel the desire to expand, you can pick up a 200gig 7200rpm drive for 'slightly' faster load times for $180.00, and it even comes complete with a case for your old drive.

here is what I purchased...
Hitachi 7200 200GB fast 2.5" 7200rpm SATA

[GUNS N SWORDS]

ps3 comes with blu-ray and people would rather use their hard drive for games rather a 50 gig disk, 50 gigs is pretty self efficient.

if i ever get a ps3 i would use it for blu-ray and NOT store games on the hard drive, long loading times is shouldn't even be around by now but still it would look funny if i wasted mins of my time to download a game and then finally play it.

[athlon770]

But the thing is, it is not mandatory to install the game data to the hard drive. Look at it this way, Graphics is data to be loaded in, the more graphics, the more data, the longer the load time. The 360 (for whatever reason) has a more efficient loading of games, so the same game on both systems will load faster on the 360. Granted, it won't be by much, maybe like 22sec for a level to load on the 360 to 30sec on the ps3. But that is loading from the media. However, you load the game data to the hard drive, then you knock the ps3's load time down to 18sec, or in this games case, 0 load time, that is a heck of a cut.

Yes, UT3 gives you this option, as well as R&C:TOD and Ridge Racer 7. Are you required to install the game data...no, would you want to...yes! It definitely decreases the load times, and when you are done with the game, just go into the settings and press delete. Granted, 5gig is the most I have heard being loaded onto the drive, but remember, you are not copying the entire BD disc to the hard drive. Just the shell of the game and maybe some textures. Everything else still resides on the BD disc.

[gunnerforlife]

lool no load times dats good with me:D id rather wait for 20 minutes then have em interrupt ma gaming play or the cut scenes:D

[GUNS N SWORDS]

i have 23 games and none of them are over 30 seconds for loading times, gears of war is the fastest, with 4.1 seconds and some times even faster. play the game.

[moujahed]

PSN content for the PS3 is huge news!! XBL works for every 360 game because of the "Achievements" as if you really get anything for that...

Since PS3 games dont have that "Achievement" crap, this has to be some sort of high-score uploader, extra content download, or online play!

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

Do nothing to enhance auctal gameplay...................its losers with points

[jackdoe]

If more developers took advantage of the fact that every PS3 has a freaking harddrive, we wouldn't get the nightmare load times of The Orange Box PS3. As for installation of DMC4, 5 GB is nothing to me. I'll install it no problem if it leads to a seamless experience.

Old this was reported 2 days ago by Ps3fanboy.com
Duplicate this was submitted to this site via Ps3fanboy.com

Rumor, no official scans or announcement have been made, its just a forum user saying this this and that.

http://n4g.com/NewsPending-...

http://n4g.com/NewsCom-9531...

and the official forum user (laugh) posting it at neogaf.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

[Guwapo77]

Correct me if I'm wrong. But this site is for news, rumors and anything gaming related.

So saying this is just a rumor doesn't classify this as an invalid post. Reason why I made this comment is because you were one of the ones that did not approve Sean's post based on rumor.

[WilliamRLBaker]

correction, This site is for news, articles and rumors but only when classified as such.

As you can see this has been posted 3 times so far.
Once from a blog, Once from ps3fanboy.com *which was thus blocked from submission because it was duplicate of that blog* and then this time.

What is this article? its from a neogaf forums post by a user not known in the industry or official that says in the latest famitsu magazine they say DMC4 is geting this stuff no scans or any thing as proof, even if it was proven that they say it in famitsu its still a rumor therefor should be classified as such rumor, instead this article is classified as news, its not news its a rumor.

so every thing i brought forward is perfectly viable reasons as to it not being a valid submission.

It doesn't follow submission guidelines by not being classified as a rumor, its duplicate and the story is all most 2 days old now.

[jack who]

5.1 audio isnt a content

[BloodySinner]

... that and the fact you can install the game on the HDD. Those two things are NOT "exclusive" content. Being able to install a game on the PS3 is an ESSENTIAL and MUST for ALL PS3 titles due to the long and ridiculous load times.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

So that is exclusive content? Wow! my copy of DMC4 has the Xbox logo at start up, that is some amazing exclusive content. OMFG! "it installs on the hard drive, Holy Cow that is so next gen!" HAHA what is this article about anyway? is it just an attempt to spin away from the "proven again" more superior version of DMC4? Have fun playing your almost last gen PS2 version of DMC4 that will sell a whoping 300k copies Droids.

[Legion]

It never stated that the load times would be lesser then the XBox 360. Just that the load times would be less on the PS3 due to having the option of HD loading. The PS3 for the most part has always had longer load times. that is a Sony staple, make 'em wait.

If you have ever read a Japanese magazine (which this article claimed it took the information from) you will notice that when it talks about one console it talks about issues exclusive to that console. Meaning that they are talking specifically about that console in it's promotions and not necessarily that the information relates only to that console. Just that the article exclusively talks about the PS3 version. I love the way people can't translate things for crap half the time.

The mention was that PS3 would have optional HD load. Never mentioned that this was not possible in other console versions. If it is optional then the having it available for XBox 360 would not be out of the question seeing that they have the larger HD available directly from manufacturer.

Not that any of this matters... DMC is a lame series anyway. Just another FF looking character that thinks he needs to look like a girl and running around doing repetitive crap. Just like Ninja Gaiden series. Just never cared for the crap... but many fans will I guess. Good for them, keeps them busy instead of crying because I am thrashing them on Halo3, Gears or COD4.

[Kazzik]

First of all uncharted is not the best looking game to date sorry( just had to get that off my chest)cod4 for one is better.

People talking about how M$ payed money for gta content and sony did not have to pay for DMC content is well because it is DMC.Sony owe's PS3 fans some love but i am sorry DMC is not anywhere in GTA's league not even close.

Also just to clear it up but Rockstar has already said that both version's of GTA4 will not have load time's so it is not just the PS3 and have also said that the 360 version will be the one to get if you own both system's but i really dont care as i am of the mind that 2008 will be a much better line up for sony there is so many big games for sony in 2008 M$ had 2007 i predict 08 will belong to sony.Just my opinion!

[wil4hire]

there are other sources too.

Not saying your opinion doesn't count.. Professional opinions count more.

Also as far as NO load times go.

Uncharted has Proven the PS3 can run a load free Hardware intense engine.

What 360 title has proven it can run load free?
This one?

the 360 is a new 360 i got a 120 gig from ebay at a steel $34 with $10 for shipping.

and ps the mass effect thing is a fake.

[cartman313]

Did you actually sit there with a stopwatch for each of those games....

haha...

[crookie-crook]

@whiteelite360
I commend you for your information gathering technique, it really helps everyone to know this information. The time and dedication you put into timing the loading, pure genius. I'd never ever do something like that to prove such a point...

*cough* loser

[DJ]

"All the reviews and video footage of Mass Effect's crap graphics are fake I tell you. FAKE!"

And then trying to post startup times for a bunch of 360 titles to...somehow prove something? I don't know about him, but I care about loading within the actual gameplay, not how long it takes for the system to hit a bunch of opening sequences.

[Robearboy]

But metaphorically speaking, what would you rather have? a beautiful gorgous looking woman who has a skancky sweaty vagina and blows like a balloon, or a decent looking lass who f*&ks like a mule and blows like a hurricane? keep this in your thoughts when thinking of games and the graphical prowess, what im trying to say is a game can look awesome but it dont make it an awesome game, e.g mass effect, it does have a few technical issues but it the most absorbing rpg i have ever played, only a few games get both gameplay and graphics to a tea, bioshock and uncharted are the only ones i can think of

[jorellpogi]

Nice analogy bro. :)

[chrno6]

ps3 version is superior, no doubt about it. If people are going to blame capcom for bias, they should blame the 360 for not having a stanard hardrive.

[jack who]

sry we dont need to offload 5GB of game data on hdd to have no load time(geow did this)

[Samer305]

the 5gb is nothing especially since u can upgrade the hdd.

[jackdoe]

Yay! Flame war over fvcking optional install. It doesn't affect half of the people bashing it on these comments.

[HarryEtTubMan]

PS3>>>>>>> ;>>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>& gt;>>>> Crusty RRODbox with 4 good Sci Fi games.

[DaEnforcer]

Poor xbots

[lockload]

Achievements, Custom soundtrack, in game messaging, being able to chat to others who aren't even int he same game.. ;-)

[GUNS N SWORDS]

yes but all 360 games get that.......the ps3 version of dmc4 doesn't get Custom soundtracks which is pretty mest up be cause i have better songs that can replace the poor DMC4's musical intro.

no one can ever get tired of having a little change in the music from time to time, i once played gears with nothing but death metal it was fun really fun.

god i love the way Custom soundtracks works, it crops out the music from the game and leaves the sound effects in a seamless transaction.

[PirateThom]

I couldn't disagree more.

Custom soundtracks are terrible.

A game exists as a package, you wouldn't change the soundtrack to a film, why should games be any different?

[Mwaan]

That's why I'm picking up the 360 version too. I can handle a 4 second load time every hour or so. If the PS3 version can pull off 0 load times, that's still pretty cool.

[whoelse]

install time is no big deal as its only done once. What does get annoying is when you get frequent updates that take along time to download and install. Its alot better than having to bear loading times.

[Savior X]

LETS NOT FORGET THIS IS NOOO LONGER A PS3 EXCLUSIVE PERIOD, THEY GAME WILL MORE OR LESS BE THE SAME BOTH CONSOLES AND 5.1 LPCM? MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN HAVE A DECENT RECEIVER THAT WILL DECODE THAT ANYWAYS!!!! DAM IF U HAVE A 360 BUY IT FOR THAT SYSTEM AND IF U HAVE A PS3 BUY IT FOR THAT, IF U HAVE BOTH LIKE I DO, U MIGHT WANT THE 360 VERSION BECAUSE OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND XBOX LIVE AWARE. WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

update to Darkie... oh i'm sorry i interupted your eco the dolphin session ! FLAMO!

[Darkiewonder]

Because I sense you got a caps lock key wedged in your butt. thanks

EDIT : no no. interrupt me. It just helps for me to not think of you being the dolphin anymore <3

[ROCCOZILLA]

you can only fit this content on blu ray.man 2008 is gonna be awsum for ps3 owners!PLAY B3YOND

[solidt12]

Sweet. im glad i can play without load times.

[Shaka2K6]

Full of limitations as usuall.

[Figboy]

takes up 5 gigs of my HDD on my PS3.

the 5 gigs for DMC4 isn't a problem for me, as i still have 22 gigs free out of 60, and i haven't done any HDD cleaning (ie, getting rid of old demos and videos).

i also have my fiances 80gig external HDD if i really need to offload stuff onto that, and still be able to access it from my PS3.

eventually, maybe, if it becomes necessary, i'll buy an extra large HDD, partition it, install Linux on one half, and have the PS3 OS on the other half, but for now, i'm good to go, and i simply uninstall data from games i no longer own or play.

also, the installs don't take *THAT long on the PS3, so don't get it twisted people. the most i had to wait to install something on my PS3 was 5 minutes at the most. at which point, i went to the restroom, made a sandwich, and probably commented on N4G. no sweat.

i'll definitely be picking up DMC4, and i'm pretty sure i'll install it on the HDD, just to eliminate load times. Uncharted has certainly spoiled me, what with it's lack of load times, *PERIOD, and to think, that that game is actually *STREAMING from the disc, not stored on the HDD. impressive as hell.

[Covenant]

Unless the exclusive content consists of new maps/characters (a la GTA IV), then color me disinterested. Just give me the game.

[picker332]

LOL!!!
WHAT A PURE EXLUSIVE LOSER YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peace Out!

[Lord Cheese]

if it completely eliminates load times, i'm definately getting the ps3 version. Early coverage of the game has suggested its blighted by repeated loads in between combat sequences, so this is a superb way to take advantage of the guaranteed hd space in the ps3.

That is the sort of feature that makes the ps3 version of multiplatform games more attractive - long may it continue!

[SPU]

PS3 rocks.

[pornflakes]

oh... the next ps3 game that has need to be installed, expect you want to have 3 minutes loading times, like every good game, here we have the next confirm how slow the blu ray drive is.

Console games need install.. lol.

[DJ]

than the 360's dvd drive, so I think you better start hating on the latter while you're at it.
