1UP Previews Devil May Cry 4: Built for PS3, Screen Tearing on 360

onAXIS: "The latest 1UP Preview for Capcom's upcoming Devil May Cry 4 reveals some good information for PLAYSTATION 3 players.

In the video, they go into console comparison. Shane Bettenhausen starts speaking "Capcom brought the game in, we got to play it, both the PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360 versions. First thing I noticed, the PLAYSTATION 3 version is better."

Bryan Intihar chimes in on the situation "It's funny. You can tell, this game is built for the PLAYSTATION 3, but moved over to the Xbox 360. As of right now, I think the PLAYSTATION 3 version is better. I saw like screen tearing in the Xbox 360 version. Even like, when you were playing it, it felt better on the PLAYSTATION 3."

Bettenhausen comes back with a "With the triggers on the DUALSHOCK 3/SIXAXIS, it's easier to pull of the moves on the PLAYSTATION 3 versus, the Xbox 360 controller.""

[jiggyjay]

Lazy Devs! Once they know how to run all the all powerful 360 they will be able to make better ports...

Hmmm who do I sound like?

Yes i'm mocking you PS3 fangirls!

Edit- LOL! I'm not jealous at all.. Not too much of a fan of hack and slash games! But if I paid $600 for a gaming console for this game which turned out to be more of a DVD player I would be jealous of the 360! PS3 FanGirls are clowns! Keep listening to Sony and their bull they keep feeding you!

4D Graphics- yeah where is that?
Rumble was last gen- here comes DS3..
$600 is actually cheap for the PS3- sure it was!
No price drop for the PS3 this year- LoL how much is the PS3 now?
Next Gen doesn't start till we say so.- yeah if the games for the ps3 are truly next gen then gaming is going to suck like Lair did!

[LinuxGuru]

jiggy's got a case of jealousy, if you ask me.

Obviously, you own a 360.

Seems maybe the 360 is starting to hit a glass ceiling in terms of graphical capability.

Unfortunate, to say the least.

** Ok jiggy, now you've hit a nerve.

4D Graphics- yeah where is that -----(DO you even know what 4D gaming is? 4D gaming is the progression of life over time....something only the PS3's cell processor can handle. It's the real-time degradation of eveything around you. Bathroom getting dirty....tiles cracking...pipes rusting....rain eroding a roof in real-time...it takes SO LONG for the 360's xenon processor to run something like this that it's been deemed impossible to do on the 360 in real time. Go ahead...research it if you want to. Refute me. Challenge me. I don't care, because you can't prove me wrong on this)

Rumble was last gen- here comes DS3------Sony admitted a mistake, and at least they are making up for it. Yeah, so you win on this one.

$600 is actually cheap for the PS3- sure it was!------Yes....at that time, the PS3 cost about 825-850 U.S. dollars to manufacture. At the time, stand-alone blu-ray players were almost twice the cost of the PS3, which has a built-in blu-ray player. Sony at that time lost about 250 bucks on every console they sold! How about THAT for sacrifice, eh?

No price drop for the PS3 this year- LoL how much is the PS3 now? ------ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA where have you been? The PS3 went from 599....to 499 (60 / 80 GB) and way down to ..... 399 (40GB model)

That's STILL a killer deal considering what you get inside the system.

ALso, all sku's available now come with built-in wifi, which is an extra 100 bucks for 360 owners.

I can't stand you. Say hello to my ignore button.

Next Gen doesn't start till we say so.- yeah if the games for the ps3 are truly next gen then gaming is going to suck like Lair did! ------- What the hell is "next gen" anyways? Besides defining the next lineup of console successors, there's no real definition in regards to actual games themselves. Is it the polygon count? Is it the lighting? Is it the textures? Is it the controls? Is it the story? Is it....even any of that at all?

[razer]

Do you remember the Sony reaction when people told them that their console must of hit it's limit when the countless of ports from the 360 to the PS3 looked like crap??

It has not hit it's limits and this game isn't even on the shelves yet. Don't you think that maybe these problems could be worked out by then?

[LinuxGuru]

While graphical problems seem fixable, they aren't always dealt with by the time of release.

That's the sad truth.

I wouldn't put your money on them fixing every issue.

Also, keep in mind that the 360 is now entering its 3rd year (end of second year was last month), and I am wholly expecting a levelling-off of graphics for the system's games.

However, the PS3 is a full year behind, and yet was still able to hold somewhat of a candle to 360 versions of the same game.

Now that the PS3, in only the beginning of the second year of its existence, is starting to show major signs of overtaking the 360 graphically...

that's what is really starting to impress me.

The PS3 is starting to gain more of a wide acceptance in the development community, as more and more are moving from "the cell is a waste of time" camp to the "it actually is worth working with" bandwagon.

The same happened to the PS2, and it happened again with the PS3.

Developers are starting to realize the PS3's worth, and I hope this is a start of a serious trend, developing games for the PS3 first, then going to the 360.

Also, it's shown that the porting process is easier for developers, and yields better results, when games are ported from PS3 to 360.

So....maybe 360 gamers can and should start thanking Sony for making the PS3 a better platform to port from.

[Danja]

In the end the PS3 version of this game will be the most polished...the game isn't that far off so don't expect the 360 version to match that of the PS3....and why hasn't any 360 game been able to look better than GeOW..yup 360 hit the ceiling in the graphics department..

and the only reason why Capcom made this game multi-plat was at the time the PS3 was getting hit from all angles with negative press Capcom got a lil cold feet and went Multi plat with this even though I really don't care as long as it's on the PS3 im good.

Does anyone know if Dead Rising 2 will be on the PS3 also..?

[krackchap]

good luck playing and mastering the game using the 360 awesome(/sarcasm) D-pad bot.
so basically crapcoms first PS3 game runs better than the 360 version.good news for games like resident evil 5

[LinuxGuru]

Capcom's first game this generation...

Dead Rising (x360)

Zack and Wiki - (Wii)

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (Wii)

Moto GP 07 - (x360 / PS2)

Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations (NDS)

Lost Planet (x360 / PS3 - soon)

and now...

DMC 4 (PS3 / x360)

**

Most games don't even bring a profit unless it becomes a world-wide smash hit.

And you can stop targeting my comments, now.

I do not have a big mouth, I only state fact, and I do not "fabricate" anything.

This IS a trend, whether you like it or not, and luck hasn't a goddamned thing to do with it.

Sorry to burst your big bubble, but nothing you say or do can change the fact that Sony is on a serious upswing.

** I am not a motherf*cking fanboy, I own every single console from the 6th and 7th generations (yes, including the Wii).

And as for you disputing any of my factual claims...that's your problem. Reality will soon set in and make itself known to you...

Oh and we already have rumble. You can get it from Japan. You can import it. What, are your eyes and mind closed to anything outside of the U.S.?

play-asia . com / paOS-14-71-bm-49-en . html

I spaced it out because we can't link in these boards, but that's an import site where you can buy DUAL SHOCK 3 controllers NOW.

And yes...they work on AMerican PS3s.

Also, search for DLB on youtube, and look for mrjiggaman's dual shock 3 video.

Once again, you decide to sound authoritative on your claims, yet I have once again refuted you and given evidence to support my claim.

Can't you get anything through your thick head?

[littletad]

This "transition" your talking about, it sure isn't happening as you fabricate it to be. 360 still has a lead in terms of hardware sales over the ps3. Software sales, the 360 continues to dominate. The ps3's biggest titles of 2007 still haven't even hit the 400k mark. How do you expect the developers of those great games were able to reach their development costs in profit return? Fact is, the cell is still hard to work with, it's still expensive, and there just isn't a good install base to begin with. Try fabricating that Titan. And keep in mind that DMC4 was in development first for the ps3. A lucky break for Sony? I think so.

Sorry to burst YOUR bubble Titan, but nothing you say at all has been fact. Everything involving Sony is "superior" (your favorite word) to your delusional mind. And I'm not following your comments with pleasure, but scrutinizing your fanboyish and ridiculous claims. I'm simply "countering".

[TheSadTruth]

Nothing more than Sony propaganda (just like this entire site). Bryan Intihar is the PS3 preview editor at 1up and says things like this constantly. As far as this site being a medium for pushing the PlayStation 3, just look at the news post right above this and the Agrees / Disagrees and you will see them in Sony's favor despite it being an article that supposedly says the 360 is the superior version for Assassin's Creed.

Here you go, enjoy:

[mesh1]

ahhhh now i see why dmc4 looks like crap its was built on the ps3 ahhh now i see

[PS3PCFTW]

sony playstations have killed many a console for many generations with slow sales during their first launch year. They also made every analyst that said "the playstations will fail", seem like a total loser when they were proved wrong. Same brand that practically forced the industry to go into discbased media and forget about cartridges. HDDVD IS ON ITS LAST BREATH....and so are you bots. THE 360 WILL BE THE NEXT TO DIE @ THE HANDS OF SONY.

lol, just remember that the ps1 and ps2 were also considered failures by EVERYONE when they analized sonys 1st year. Like history has shown us, THE TURNAROUND IS ALREADY BEGINNING FOR THE PS3 @1.1 years old. So right on schedule, when you look at ps1 and ps2 ...wouldnt you say? its that simple. Its right in front of your face.

of course the 360 beginning to get outclassed makes you a "LITTLETAD" nervous, and angered about "THE SAD TRUTH" regarding the 360's future.
You guys deny it, but ive been expecting it since i bought the ps3 and ps2 after learning from my ps1...............slow first year, MURDERING SPREE ON ITS SECOND.

PS3 games such as hs, udf,wh,lair,gthd are just a tease of the ps3's capabilities. Consider it the ps3 on training wheels as devs learn to use the hardware. You guys hate the fact that those training wheels are starting to come off. ps3 owners in america will love and enjoy this gen and further forget that a 360 exists. JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD HAS

face the facts.

Sony
Owns

YEar

[sonarus]

to be perfectly honest i believe the 360 has reached its limit with gears of war cus a yr later there are no games that look better than it on your console. I expect gears of war 2 will look a tad bit better but dnt expect anymore graphicsl leaps for gears. PS3 has uncharted right now as their best lookin game which arguable looks better than gears and dnt go posting over polished screen shots to try to argue against. If in a yrs time there have been no significant ps3 jumps then am gonna see uncharted as the peak or near peak of ps3 performance. As of now gears is still the best looking game on the 360 and its a good game as that cnt wait for gears 2.

[ruibing]

I hope this means DMC 4, Lost Planet, and RE 5 will all have very solid gameplay when they debut on the PS3.

[LinuxGuru]

Considering Capcom's superior PS3 development of THIS title, I wonder how Lost Planet will turn out for PS3.

Maybe after possibly seeing superior results on the PS3 development of Lost Planet, they felt that it was the way to go for future games?

Here's hoping!

[Keowrath]

Seriously, I'm hoping the same thing for Bionic Commando too.

[Maddens Raiders]

this will be the norm going forward. 3 weeks left before the 360 is laid to rest. *Don't call it a comeback.

[MADGameR]

It would make sense that the PS3 version looks better because it is ported over to the 360. It also makes sense why the 360 games ported to the PS3 looked better on 360. They have to try to make it for BOTH consoles without porting. So all along, the 360 multi plat games looked BETTER on the 360 because it was PORTED over to the PS3 NOT because 360 has better hardware. Both seem to be even in hardware but the PS3 has a lot more to be tapped into so the PS3 tips the 360 over a bit. Even if DMC4 was made for both systems without port, the PS3 version would be slightly better anyway because of the controls. Its more made for the PS3.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Love the new avatar!

Also...DMC4 looks better than Dead Rising...so, why is everyone knocking the graphics when it's using the same engine? You people really need to try harder than that...

[allforcalisto]

glad its not the other way round for once.

[solidt12]

More than once. Oblivion and Call of Duty 4 looks better on the PS3 because the developers took there time and got it right. And so will Lost Planet.

[lilgringo]

Weren't Oblivion released like a year later on the ps3? Also, i thought that CoD4 looked the same on both the 360 and the PS3, could be wrong though

[TheMART]

@ Soidt Wrong.

Oblivion came ONE FULL YEAR after the 360 release, that was almost a direct PC port on the 360 (they released it simultanously on PC/360 and the 360 was just out), PS3 version was just a tad better with a full year extra development time. The 360 version has been updated with a graphics patch and the GOTY edition came totally on par with the PS3 version out of the box.

COD4 running footage are both versions about the same. In stills and texture comparisons though, the 360 version is once again on top in quality, watch these texture comparison:

http://www.n4g.com/ViewImag...

So you're pretty much way off. PS3 just about always has the worst multiplatform versions of games.

[Fezthebest]

with those pics you can't compare anything, but if you want here it goes. #1 sure goes to 360 cause its clearer, #2 looks literally the same, #3 and 4 for sure go to ps3, cause at least the floor has textures not a paper glued to a wallpaper(360), # 4 both looks the same too. BUT AGAIN those 'screenshots' are extremely bad quality, thy don't represent either system very positively.

[harpua]

well lets face it, this is not surprising for the 360 since it is nearing the end of it's product life cycle.

[jackdoe]

This is a duplicate article. Turn your attention to the original 1up preview posted earlier today.

[Rybnik]

I agree with ya, that's why I reported it, still I knew it would get approved....Flamebait articles rule N4G, sad.

[Rybnik]

It was a bit shocking hearing 1up talk about the PS3 version looking a lot better. One thing though, Shane and Brian are the two most Pro Sony guys at 1up. I do think there is a point to the controls though, I think simply based off the fact I am used to the DS contoller for DMC, I will probably get this version...It will be interesting indeed to see which version truly does better.

One thing I'm happy about: DMC4 is finally looking like a worthy successor to DMC3. The game LOOKS a lot more polished than before..its not quite to the level of the BS target teaser from 06', but it actually looks pretty damn good. Oh, and I know the 360 only folks will disagree , but this DOES look better than NG2 so far.

[Snukadaman]

thanks for that..we shall see when both games are released which one is better and blah blah...I dont know about your dmc4 is better then ng2 talk though....you lost me there....ng2 looks stunning..even ps3 fanboys were complaining that the graphics on dmc4 looks mediocre.

[Rybnik]

Yeah, I was one of those...DMC4 seems to have gotten a lot better since they first started showing it. Oh and NG2 may end up looking a lot better in the end...right now though, its the massive blood spurting and limb severing that makes NG2 look so impressive. I'm not bagging on it, it still looks great..but I think DMC4 is showing more variation and the lighting I think is a bit better imo. Also, and this just may be a style thing, but I really wish that NG2 had more fluidity between weapon changes and such. Somehow having to go out a menu, just to change some things really takes you out of the immersion. I realize this just may be a personal taste thing. But for me, as games keep trying to look more real, especially 3rd person games like this, menu systems really break up the continuity of the game....I kind of feel this way about MGS4 as well, but I guess it would be difficult to really do that kind of game without such menus..

[games4fun]

lets not start a flame war over this. i mean its not even out yet they could just as easily fix it as not fix it, also nobody knows what the final product will be like anyway.

[Darkiewonder]

I still think they should just not do that. but then again, they went multiplatform and they want it to be the same all across the board. But I saw the sexy video on gametrailer.

---------------
I have DMC3 still to play [lol. i'm not a DMC fan so 1 and 2 I won't know the story about. Hopefully whoever played it up until now can tell me how the story goes] ;o

[jackdoe]

Well, you really can't. You can get it close and unnoticable, like GRAW 2 and AC, but ports almost always suffer from degredation of various degrees. You can completely eliminate degredation if you delay the port or put extra resources into the game, ala Oblivion(PS3) and Virtua Fighter 5(360), but in the case of DMC 4, it isn't gonna happen.

[jackdoe]

Oh, and PS3 version being superior to the 360 version is to be expected. Longer development time (360 version wasn't started until a year after PS3 development began) and lead platform status make it this way. Same with a lot of multiplatform games that look better on the 360. Ports suffer degredation, though in this case, it isn't anywhere as bad as Madden 08.

[Rybnik]

LOL, I think no recent port is as bad as PS3 Madden 08'!

[jackdoe]

I think Orange Box PS3 comes close though.

[xplosneer]

It all depends on where you start don't it?

[turbogeek]

SORRY 360 OWNERS! STICK TO YOUR NINJA GAYDEN AND SHOOTING GAMES! DMC4 IS A PLAYSTATION FRANCHISE AND YOU'LL JUST SEEM LIKE DESPERATE LOSERS IF YOU BUY DMC4 FOR YOUR 360 LMAO!

[PS3n360]

did you notice the weapon in dante's hand? Wait for it.......a gun....with bullets....looks like he is about to SHOOT it. xbots may "seem" like losers but you are definitely one. You fanboys can eat a d1ck.

[macalatus]

@turbo,

Sorry to burst your happiness there, but, PS3 owners (including me) are also getting converted to enjoying FPS games since the release of R:FOM and COD4.

[Laexerias]

PS3N360 OWNED U SO HARD DUDE AHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Hey but DMC is not a Shooter. so please die in hell.. If there is a name for games like: Devil may Cry and God of War.... it would be: Godlike-Games.

[SF49er408]

still play it on 360 for rumble, and acheivements. theyll be identical

[LinuxGuru]

with Home having trophies (achievements, essentially) and the Dual shock 3 RUMBLE controller coming out early 08....

your point is no longer valid.

Silence

EDIT***

@ 360 rules:

The PS3 and the 360 have the same amount of ram, dumba$$.

Don't try and say anything contrary to that.

If you do, you fail.

If Valve wasn't so f-cking lazy with the PS3 (thank Gabe Newell for that) they would have implemented a entirely streaming load system into the PS3 version and used the Cell's superior streaming ability to do away with loads and hitches in framerate.

That intermittent loading in Half-Life pisses me off...in any version of the game.

Definition of concept, Littletad:

An idea of something formed by mentally combining all its characteristics or particulars; a construct.

Home is NOT a concept any longer.

It is a fully realized service that will be in operation in a few months.

It is WAY, FAR beyond the concept stage.

Your statement is incorrect; wholly and fully incorrect.

As for the purchasing of another controller...that was Sony's mistake to exclude rumble. Many people have got used to the lack of rumble. Most want it back. And we've got it back now. People are already importing it from Japan because they don't want to wait.

Because people are doing so, it appears the additional cost doesn't bother them; they actually seem to be overjoyed at spending the money just to get rumble again!

For most, the cost will be non-consequential and of no concern.

**I gave you a definition, because you used an incorrect word in an incorrect statement, so I thought you might not have the slightest clue what you were talking about.

Discussions are started by opinions, or fact laced with opinion, and he stated two things that implied the PS3 was lacking, so I countered!

Simple as that!

[littletad]

At least he doesn't have to purchase a new controller just for rumble. And home's trophies sounds like a wonderful concept, but that's all it is right now... a concept. We have no idea if it will be superior or inferior to achievements, but it's nice knowing that achievements have been around since day one. Stop trolling someone's opinion.

I edited my post, it was my mistake I'll admit. But you gave me a definition, are you kidding me? Please find time to do something more constructive Titan. The original commenter did nothing more than favor a different system for it's elements, rumble and achievements. You merely attacked his points for being "invalid". That is not true, you sir fail in that regard and you were trolling. Even if rumble is back i t doesn't change the fact that you still have to buy new ones for those that made the jump already. He has an opinion and you have an opinion. Again quit trolling.

Dear God your an annoying fanboy. He didn't say directly the ps3 was lacking anything but you know what, even if he "implied" it was two things the ps3 was lacking guess what? It is in this point of time lacking rumble and achievements (trophies). Therefore they are not "invalid" or whatever you still come up with. Rumble is coming but we don't have an exact date, so there he is with two features right out of the box that the 360 has had SINCE day one, not coming in or involving imports. And nice usage of saying "counter", it's definitely your obscured word for trolling.

[solidt12]

PS3 has Trophies and I have a Dual Shock 3 imported from Japan so I already have rumble. No need to get the 360 version for the reasons you stated. Just face it, you are running out of excuses to down the PS3. It is a better console and you know it.

[gamehendge]

the 360 can't handle the nex gen games and really excels at the PS2 styled graphics like in halo 3 and lost odyssey.

[360_Rules]

LOL yeah and HL2: Orange box on the PS3 proves that the PS3 doesn't have enough Ram. The 360 has the better GPU Capcom so it must be they are lazy to tap the hidden power of the 360. LOL

[360_Rules]

LOL, now that PS3 tools are going to buy DMC4 again. 360 gamers should now send a petition to Capcom demanding them to cancel the PS3 version.

[beoulve]

it just shown that it's very hard to do cross-platform. COD4 went the right direction, two team go two direction. If you built one on another, the port will be shltty. Just like Madden.

and SF49er408. By the time, DMC4 is out, rumble will be available in PS3 too.

[PS3n360]

I will always be able to get the best version of any multi platform game. get both consoles get the best games.

[sak500]

Aren't you all sick of posting articles about games comparisons when the games aren't even out yet? Why the fcuk is the article not linked from the 1up site? Stop posting blog articles from fanboi sites.

Also let the games come out and then do the comparison, most articles bashing 360 get posted so fast, as someone above mentioned it was already posted before. You guys just want to see some kind of negative news about 360 since mostly ps3 has been getting torn to bits by the industry.

If this site bans freaking HD/BD and 360/PS3 comparison/bashing news then even though the articles would be very few, they would be much more infromative. And if there is no flamebait articles that would mean less retards will be posting thier comments.

Edit: LOL @ Rybnik: I admit of having been total fanboi myself but its getting tiring and plus finally games are coming out on ps3 and RROD issues of 360 hv been coming down as well. I convinced my bro yest to go for Elite, since he wanted some sort of media hub for streaming videos in his living room. I guess its everyone's own preferences, people like PS3 for what they want from it and 360 fans like what they want from 360. So let the games begin and enjoy playing games and not consoles.

PS: doesn't mean that i've turned into a wise person, i'd be coming back with something snide to say to hardcore fanbois ;)

[Mark Daniel]

Go figure. This is the internet with millions of people surfing the net. I am a certified PS3 Fan because I own one and I don't own a Xbox360. But then again, you are right.

[Rybnik]

As much as I usually disagree with you (your troll posts) I totally agree with you here. I wish N4G had a separate tab for all these ridiculous comparison/ opinion trash blog articles. I didn't mind the ACTUAL 1up vid as much because it actually had new info and footage. This article is BS flaimbait.

In fact I think it does a disservice to those who actually try to find the new vids and news because all the comments seen here could have been posted in the actual 1up story vid, thus making it the hot post. After all, I think the original story is much more interesting than the blog-crap regurgitation that this is.

[macalatus]

@sak o' sh!t,

"And if there is no flamebait articles that would mean less retards will be posting thier [sic]comments."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Speak for yourself!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Oh, wait...Hahahah!! Golly, that was hilarious!! You truly made my day, Sak!!

[Slayer OP]

1st bet this post will get to 500 degrees
2nd bet this will make it to the top 3
3rd this will be the #1 news thread of the day?
(pick one)

[sticky doja]

That is of course unless this story gets pulled for being a duplicate, which it should.

[Slayer OP]

Yeah im sure this will make it to the top 3 at least.

[Fezthebest]

DING DING DING, you got them all right lol, hehehe, sadly this shouldn't belong in anyone of those three

[Blademask]

There is no end to this retarded rivalry.

Both game systems NOW have good games. That should be it.

But.. its not..

[Rybnik]

Yeah, Blademask, I think I agree with you, sad this is.

[devilhunterx]

the jews, the hindus, the athiests, the buddhists as well. They all are fanboys too.

[solidt12]

Jesus is better. He has more Ram and Better Graphics. LOL

[Achievement Unlocked]

About these fanboys you say...?

[Mark Daniel]

Nothing. Unless there is the total extinction of another console.

[Achievement Unlocked]

Or maybe hit a fanboy with a sack of potatoes...

[Rybnik]

Please, seriously, go with the fanboy..kittens are cute and funny.

[sak500]

Damn, why'd u even think of killing a helpless creature like that? Killing of any animal for any purpose, other than for food, is bad as as as.... dont know but its a shame.

[Lord_Mike]

What about roaches?

[Achievement Unlocked]

Is it hit square circle over and over?
