Devil May Cry 4 for PS3, 360, and PC - Image 1


Looks like Capcom gave us a bit of a run-around. January 27: PSM says DMC4 goes 360. January 31: Capcom says DMC4 stays PS3. Today: Capcom says DEVIL MAY CRY® 4 EXPLODING ONTO MULTIPLE PLATFORMS (as replicated from the press release). The title of Capcom's official statement hit us hard and sent us flying into the air like demon-marionettes. HUWHAT?!

In the official press release, Capcom's announced that Devil May Cry 4 (already under PS3 development) is already also being developed for both the Xbox 360 and and PC. Specifics haven't been revealed, however, it states that each version will maximize the power of the specific platform it will be released in. Capcom Executive VP adds:

Capcom is committed to making its titles available to as wide an audience as possible, and has been building its technology base to meet that goal. This announcement means that PS3, Xbox 360, and PC owners worldwide will be able to experience the latest installment of one of Capcom's pillar franchises.


This has just been an announcement about development on the 360 and PC platforms. As for exclusive features and specific release dates for each version, we've yet to receive word. Since we're pretty much burning up here in anticipation, be sure you stick for more updates. We'll pass 'em on as they come along.

i sort of anticipated this move by capcom.
they are currently needing of more profit and staying exclusive to ps3 will not suffice.
anyways although sony lost something exclusive again, i doubt this game will be a hindrance for ps3 success, if resident evil goes multiplatform too then i will consider that something so bad.
anyways, i hope capcom creates a street fighter version for ps3 network like namco's tekken5dr, and include online vs and tournaments etc.

Jack with Sony named 9 ps3 exclusives that he said would sell the console...interestingly, he did not mention DMC4 because he must have known well before the public, that it was going to be mulit-platform. Hopefully he is confident of the titles he did name.

   Re: . (Unregistered) - 2007-03-19
 » I feel just like you right now

This is absolutely incredible. I mean after basically one year of saying the game was exclusive to the PS3 they come out with this. I don't mind the game going to the 360. What I'm upset about is that basically what they are saying is that every game they make for the PS3 is heading to the 360. But every game they make for the 360 is staying exclusive. I mean why can't they port Dead Rising and Lost Planet to the PS3. Capcom can go ***** themselves.

   Re: xc (Unregistered) - 2007-03-20
 » Simple reason why Lost Planet is not going to PS3

The PS3 has a vey LOW user base thats why they dont port them, if the Wii had the grunt they would of imported Lost Planet etc because of its large user base.

 » 1st-party !!!!

I think that with these new consoles out, development cost must be bad. so in the end, I think that all 3rd-party games will be on all systems. but I dont really care about alot of these 3rd-party games. what will make the system stand out is how a game is played,looks and most importantly the 1st-party games. and from what I see, it seems like nintendo has a strong first-party,ms has good third-party, but sony has both a strong first-party and third party. they may not keep exclusives but they still get the game.

I look forward to renting it and can care less that it goes to the 360. We will get games that went to them too. Some of the games that are multiplatform will show to be better on PS3 anyhow as well as some on the 360 will be better. It all depends on the developer. We will see a lot more of this. Things change, get over it.

Yeah right. Both games on 360 looks dark and green. Maybe if you wear 3D glasses or something while playing the 360, it will cancel out the green. Oh yeah turn the brightness up real high to so you can see it. Looks like you guys like to scoop ***** and tell me it's gold, but I won't buy that one kiddies.

Cause that video of Armoured Core 4 was the best way to judge the game on both consoles. I guess you believe the PS3 version is as washed out as it looks in that video then!

Get real.

As for COD3 looking green, perhaps you could provide a link to a screenshot and point out what is green that shouldn't be. Oh wait, you can't, so forget it. :P

lol, just when you thought Capcom couldn't make any more stupid decisions. Resident Evil with lackluster sales on the crappy gamecube instead of going straight ps2, then subpar sales of lost planet and dead rising on the 360, now DMC4.

They continue to make mistakes...Talk about pissing off the PS3 owners by making us wait for it due to a port. I could guarantee the suddenly spike in release delays were because of the 360/PC port suddenly happening. Nice job capcom, way to repay the console/fans that made the game a success to begin with. I'm curious how much money microsoft threw at them to get DMC4.


   Re: fdcv (Unregistered) - 2007-03-19
 » Uh, no

Dead Rising actually sold very well considering how many 360s were on the market when it came out, and sales of Lost Planet certainly weren't "subpar". At least attempt to make it LOOK like you know what you're talking about, damn

   Re: cv (Unregistered) - 2007-03-20

Dead rising Top 10 in the charts, Lost Planet Number 1 in the charts shortly after their releases. Resident Evil will proberly sell 3 million plus on the 360 after people have seen the quality of Dead Rising they now know what to expect next.

Ok now I have heart it all the ps3 as a trojen horse for bluray ...
Lurker your are really something!!! First you call other people fanboys when in fact the biggest fanboy around is YOU yes YOU. Calling the ps3 a trojen horse for the blu ray??
Either your stupid or this is your first time... No company in the world no matter how bad PR it has, would never risk more than a decate of gaming success for a new dvd format even if it is the best on the market. Your comment is plain false.

And like I said i give up your not worth my time...h e l l you are not worth to anybodies time.
