Hiroyuki Kobayashi, producer of Devil May Cry 4 has finally given his two cents on the issue regarding DMC4's move from being a PS3 exclusive to a multiplatform title, as reported by Famitsu Xbox 360. He has this to say about the controversial decision: Devil May Cry is an extremely strong name overseas...so there was of course the business decision that we couldn't exclude the Xbox 360. We're using an engine called Framework for development, and it's extremely easy to have a multiplatform strategy including the PC. You can say that Devil May Cry 4 is the first such offering. With the increase in platforms, we have the chance of more people being able to play the game, so we're also happy as developers. The content will be exactly the same. Regardless of which one you buy, you will be able to get the same enjoyment. What's different is perhaps the shape of the controller and graphic peculiarities for each hardware. We wanted to avoid arguments about which one is better. |

*awaits praystation fanboys and there pitch forks*
*waits for sony fanboy to respond saying their version of the game is still better*
Lets piss them off more and release it in the Wii. (i doubt it will ever happen)
i will buy and play this game on my PC. rather than on my ps3 or 360.
ultra high res
massive effects
everything the console version can offer and more.
and yes i already have the PC to play DMC4 max everything.
>The content will be exactly the same.
Well one thing is for sure, Sony will absolutely hate this. They always insist they want developers to include stuff into thier games that doesn't appear on any other platform - Spiderman3 is one such example of extra tacked on gameplay to keep the Sony people happy.
In the end, it's up to the developers.
Sort of like how MS insist on the stupid achievements for their games? Even tho some of those achievments are retarded as hell.
Sony owns the right to the movies the game was based on, that's the reason sony wanted extra content. Nintendo is more crazy about exclusive content, remember mario on nba jam or street, I don't have a gamecube, but they always like to add something different.
achievements, stupid? no way - achievements are awesome, you're just sad that sony cant invent something new + just copy every1else
learn how to type. PS3 has its disadvantages for the game
1) Incredibly slow load time
2) Hard drive space probably neccessary for install before playing the game to attempt to minimilize load time
3) No rumble, sixaxis would be good for what? Shaking off enemies???? It seems thats all the sixaxis is used for minus racing/flying games.
Elite has HDMI, some of us have opted to buy the elite over the standard version so for us, HDMI is not an issue. If its an issue for you then seek help. The 360 is louder but thats pretty much it, and if your like me and you dont play your games on mute than you do not notice the sound of anything except the game that your playing... i can't even hear my wife yapping when I'm playing let alone my 360.
"i can't even hear my wife yapping when I'm playing let alone my 360."
You can't hear her yapping? Ok, you've convinced me, I'm going to buy a 360! ;)
you said learn how to type and then said "minimilize". That's funny. I don't know why people pass judgment on a game that hasn't even come out yet. So before you get all emotional and stuff, just wait for the game to actually release. Then you can go and bash each other like your lives depend on it, you fanboys, you.
Or they could put the entire 360 game on one blu-ray twice, that would cut load times as well.
The only problem ps3 fans should have with the game going multi-platform is that it may be shorter than if was on just the ps3. The developers probably didn't make the game to take advantage of the extra space on a blu-ray, if they didn't it would be stupid not to put it on other systems to make more money.
What is with all these 360 fanboys trolling a PS3 site? Don't you guys have anything better to do? You seem incredibly pathetic. I'm glad I hardly ever read the comments sections here if this is the norm.
This is a multiplatform game and it is in the 360 so.. thats why they are here... and yes.. I hate the people saying things before they come out... and for people that are saying about the HDMI well.. u don't have your console with the HDMI... ok.. isn't a wow of difference but is a difference in sound and colours... is not a lot of difference but u are the kinds of guy that are trying to viw the difference of a game between the two platforms in the screenshots... anyway.. they are saying it will have the same gameplay and thet say that they don't like the sixaxis so I guess the will not put it in the game perse... anyway obviously it will not make people buy a console for this game because is multiplatform... and the 360 had more than a year, let the ps3 grow up... every system have there cons and pros
For your information, this is not a PS3 site. We 360 owners are viewing this article and comments from xbox360.qj.net the Xbox 360 section of QJ. We have just as much right to be here and comment on OUR upcoming DMC game as any PS3 owner.
PS3s aren't selling even in Japan and the game is too expensive to develop for a measly 3 million fanbase.
This will happen with other games like Metal Gear 4 and maybe even Final Fantasy.
Metal Gear Solid 2 came to the XBOX despite being "exclusive to PS2", even though the PS2 had no problem selling copies. The XBOX even got a better version.
MS got MEtal GEar because konami wanted them to $have it. THe developer, from what I've heard is not too happy with M$, I doubt you will get MGS4. It was made to take advantage of blu-ray and the ps3, it probably wouldn't fit on a dvd9, That will probably be the only reason, in the end, it dosen't come to the 360.
Konami has already released far more games for the 360 than the PS3, I wouldn't say they have anything against MS.
I know I've heard over and over again about Metal Gear being PS3 exclusive, but if they pay say $20,000,000 developing this game, they won't be able to turn much of a profit, and besides what a waste of a great game with only a few million people being able to play it.
It's not worth $600 to me, I'm still playing MGS 3.
MGS has been stated to NOT be for the 360 by Kojima himself. So if he feels like making himself look like a fool by lying to the public then you will have it. But if he has any dignity it won't. Now, the PS3 version will be superior due to the fact that it is being made on the PS3 and ported to 360. If it were the other way around, then the PS3 version would suck like all the other multiplatform ports. Take a look at folklore and then look at any 360 game. Folklore beats them hands down because it was designed on the PS3. You can flame me all you want, I don't care. The proof will come when the game is released.
Oblivion is more interesting than Folklore to me, and a lot of people werent impressed with the demo. Flying around and breathing fire gets old in like 2 minutes. And Oblivion was a close to launch game for both consoles. The textures on Lair hurt my eyes. eh, who cares.
Dont think...U know what.
If U wonna know I have Yamaha RX4600 Monitor Audio speakers etc,etc...so your A*s*s is mute!
Buying ELITE is not a problem 4 me.
RE5,MGS4,DMC4 & Silent Hill 5 I will play on my silent PS3.I bought 360 just because of GOW
Those are the only games I like the others are for kids.
Wonna more issues?
Did U even heard a PS3 & 360 on a same audio equipement?(Music CD`s)PS3 sounds even better than my EISA winner Harman/Kardon
DVD picture quality on 360 is blur,on a PS3 is cleaner and sharper like on Panasonic S-97
slow load times?
I did not noticed that because my wife loves the "butterfly joy"
BTW U did not tell me is ELITE still loud?
If is not...I def. gonna buy it
You bought a Ps3 just so you could play some games that are coming out on the 360 a bit quieter??
wow what a waste of $600
for less than $600 you could have payed some scientists to create you a soundproof box for 360 so it was even quieter than your Ps3 or you could have just turned the volume up for FREE!!
and your other points are blah nothing worth $600
my name dante i rememberize all my model
numberz of stuff i see in magazine
I heard the X360 version will look slightly better and run faster!
One System To Rule Them All - X360
Who told you that? Was it your 360 owning buddy? An XBOX magazine? I would really like to know because the producer in the article above didn't mention that.
Provide facts or shut up!
Pretty much all multiplatform games so far either had a better framerate, lighting, and/or textures on the 360. Plus, it's coming out later so there will likely be more features on the 360 version. Nobody said it, but it's probably true.
Oblivion had a whole extra year to develop on the PS3 and the improvments were minimal. The later released game is usually better. Some PS3 games like FEAR are noticably worse despite coming out 2 years late.
What was your point again? Excess bloom and brightness is better lighting? Brighter is not better. Realism is lighting that works like real life. Subtle shades look more realistic to me.
Oblivion did NOT have an extra year to develop. They didn't start to work on a PS3 version the same time that they started the 360 version. They took a finished game and changed a few textures, improved the lighting, reduced the load times, and added a couple of extra quests. If you really think that they had a team working on a finished game for an entire year to port it to the PS3 then you are crazy.
As of right now the only thing that you have are guesses and ideas there is nothing in this article to prove either.
BTW, I am folding protein. Why aren't you?
ok its cool that capcom wants more money and more people playing their games, but how come they take sony exclusives and make them multi-platform and not from m$. i mean if popularity was the case then I wanna play dead rising and lost planet on my ps3. thats the only way you can convince me that its about popularity. other then that I think that its something more. in the end i think that all the third party games will endup on every system and eveything will depend on the first party. sony and nintendo both have a better first party then M$.
I can't believe I hear this question all the time...and me (Not owning a PS3...I'm getting one soon) know more about this question....
1. The PS3 is HARD to develope for...thats a fact
2. Why spend all that money, to multi-platform when NO ONE will buy your games...
you see, theres not enough PS3 owners...Thats why....
360 and games are selling like hotcakes here in the US....thats another fact...this business is about making money, and Developers would rather make a game on a system thats easier and have a high potential of making MORE profit.
ok but the excuse that capcom used is pritty much popularity. i know that theres about 10mil xbox fans or owners out there but theres also almost 4mil ps3 fans/owners out there. lets say everybody that owns one of those consoles goes and buys lost planet that could be about 14 mil people that gets that game.that 4 mil doesnt add much more to that 10 mil but its still popularity and money. (what am I saying?) 4 mil is still alot of people and money. M$ can have DMC but i want lost planet and deadrising on ps3. i really dont care what 3rd party game goes multiplatform. sony still has its strong first party.
Sony can only blame themselves. This is a business and there are more 360s and Wiis out there than PS3s.
I don't care if it's better on the PS3 or 360. I'm just happy it's coming to my platform. Thank you Capcom.
I am wondering....
just wondering....
do you people always do this when a game comes out to a "multiple platform" ? '_' .....?
no no really....
cuz all I say are people talking like egg heads with no brain to think :| .....
all of you...
Xbox360/Wii/PS3 owners and fan boys...
just shut the hell up please and each and everyone of you enjoy his F***ing Game on his F***ing consule...
and leave a NICE F***ing DECENT COMMENT !!!!!!!! :| ...
sheesh....grow up dudez....
than fanboys???
people trying to shut up fanboys...
Shini you say: ahh...this is a example of the average reading level of a Sony Fanboy....
But you lover your self more by reply back. You are no different then him, maybe worse. I normally don’t reply back to many fan boys Xbox. Because I lower my self too. And the topic of this block is about devil may cry going multiplatform, and not which system is better.
Since I bother my self to write here let me say few small things about Microsoft and you Xbox fan boys. First I do not believe many of the people ho write here as Sony fan boys and say few stupid things are not really Sony fan boy. They are wii and Xbox fan boys a group of boys with ages from 9 to 20 that can’t afford a Ps3. And the reason is no older person will write so many stupid things, and only a child will do it. And a child can’t afford to pay for a Ps3 on less the parents buy it for them. and right now about 89% of the owner’s of a Ps3 are ages from 21 to 40`s. I am 24 year old and I grew up with Nintendo, Sega and Sony. And I like more Sony because of the good memory I had with the Ps1 with FF7, Resident Evil 2, Metal gear and more, and Ps2 with Grand Theft auto 3, Grand turismo, FF10, DMC and more.
Now Microsoft is a company base on lie stilling and buying their competition out. That why I don’t like them. Microsoft makes billions of dollars, and they are not satisfied with all that money, and in the field of computers software they are the king. And they want to be in the others field as well. Microsoft possesses footholds in other markets; with assets such as the MSNBC cable television network, the MSN Internet portal, and the Microsoft Encarta multimedia encyclopedia. The company also markets both computer hardware products such as the Microsoft mouse as well as home entertainment products such as the Xbox, Xbox 360, Zune Mp3 Players, MSN TV and HD-DVD with Toshiba.
Now I bet that Microsoft saw that Sony is in a weak spot not selling to many Ps3. and took the opportunity and pay the company’s that had games only for the Ps3 to make them Multiplatform. But why call a game Multiplatform when is only going to the xbox360 and not the Wii. And please all of you xbox fan boys please respond to that question; Why not make this game for the Wii. and please do not say because of the graphics.
you have a point, m$ is just too rich. and why not make dmc for the wii? and why not put deadrising on every system? that why i think M$ payed capcom too!!
So the ps3 version will at least have a small something to brag about being the one the team designed the game for...
Anyway, at least now the x360 guys/girls will also be able to play this nice game :D. It would be cool to have online servers that could connects x360s and PS3s, we'd double the people on the net! :D And we could find wich controller is better (I love the playstation controller more than any other controllers, that's for sure, but is it the best? we could see)
If that's true then why isn't the lost planet coming to ps3 also if you wanna bring it to more people? Why isn't the DMC coming to Wii if you wanna bring it to more people? You know why,because you're lying.
I hope you'll burn in hell, together with Micro*****.
You will never shut a fanboy up. They have to boast how good their system is to justify spending their money on it and convince themselves they made the right choice, and therefore convince others they are right.
The reason why games go mulitiplatform is money. As eash generation of games costs more to produce, the companies have to try to recover more money. They do this by either going multi-platform or getting a large amount of $$ to keep it on one platform.
I have a 360, a great machine, but noisy. I got one because all my friends had one and can play online together. The Playstation is a great machine but I can only afford 1. I will be able to play DMC4 without needeing to purchase a PS3, great. On the otherhand, if GOW went to the PS3, great they could see what a great game it is.
"You bought a Ps3 just so you could play some games that are coming out on the 360 a bit quieter??
wow what a waste of $600"
It`s not a waste if U have a lot of money and dont need to work for that poor dude.And it`s not just because of games.
"Noys" U are so smart and sexy,big kiss girl!!!
360 looooouuuudd turn re volume at least at -30 to hear the games.
O yeah I forget,you dont have any audioequipement
PS3#1 Le petit morte!
DMC 4 is multiplatform... what can any Sony fanboy say about that.. only thing I'd say is ... give PS3 a game in the Lost Planet series.
To hell with the 360, PS3 where's my version? We talking multi platform, well i wanna know when it's coming to the black and white gameboy! Can you imagine Dante in all that black and white "High Def" glory? :b.....
