Devil May Cry 4's Nero - and the total number of petitions - Image 1


The last time we heard the words "Capcom" and "gamer uproar" in the same sentence here at QJ Central was probably the announcement that Devil May Cry 4 would be "EXPLODING ONTO MULTIPLE PLATFORMS". But we still couldn't help but scratch our heads at the sight of this floating on the interwebs:

To: Capcom


We (The people that have signed this petition) feel very left out in your decision to make Devil May Cry 4 a Multi-Platform title, and hereby agree to boycott your sale of Capcom affiliated games. This is due to your decision to turn your back on your most faithful gaming company. For years we have enjoyed games, we have reaped the benefits of your committment to Sony. We find it absolutely demoralizing for not only the gamers, but also Sony itself. We want you to know that will not, and should not stand for your actions, and therefore withold our option of buying your product.


Sincerely,

The Undersigned


Total number of signatures? Two thousand four hundred and fifty two. We could almost see the pitchforks and the torches snaking its way to Capcom's doors with people screaming "OFF WITH HER HEA-" err... "BOYCOTT!". But before you guys get on your high horses and/or run to the Capcom Petition site to sign up, let's not forget that Capcom is a corporation (read: business). 'Nuff said.

Its pretty stupid doing this, One im sure 2 thousand odd sales wont really matter, Two Capcom games have been doing very well on the 360 and if they get threating letters off Sony fans thats gonna tilt them in favour of the 360 dont you think?

This is pathetic... Anyone who signed this is a dumb-ass. The 360 has made capcom some big bucks lately and anyone with a good business sense knows that $ is what it all comes down to. Surely a new low for fanboys everywhere.

you sony fanboys are jealous i used to have to have the ps2 and psp i still have them i was a huge sony fanboy but the ps3 was probably gonna fail so i bought 360 and i love and so did the other 50% of the 360 owners who had ps2 before so they want devil may cry 4 too right. it does not matter it still is coming out on ps3 so dont complain and shut up.

this has nothing to do with being selfish or greedy. it's the fact that multiplatform games will be throttled to fit Xbox's 4.7GB space requirement to fit on the DVD. if it remained an exclusive, we may actually see the power of the cell on a blu-ray. we don't want some port of some crap xbox game....

people are putting to much weight into games and the system they have .

@Kutibh: "...it's the fact that multiplatform games will be throttled to fit Xbox's 4.7GB space requirement to fit on the DVD"



JESUS STOP THIS!! How often do I have to write this so that you guys finally get t into your brains.

1. They just use DVD DL which means 9gb per DVD.

2. Bluray is too slow for games and can just keep on reading the datas, not like DVD switch again to the beginning of the Disc (well not that fast). So Bluray and HD-DVD is just good for movies. This means the devs have to put the file twice or even oftener on the BlurayDisc, to increase the reading speed.

3. Games on the Xbox360 are compressed to fit on a DVD. You can't do the same with Ps3 Games because it would take too long to read, and decompress them.

4. Games on the Ps3 have about 12-13gb (Motorstorm, which is the biggest one), they are decompressed and doubled. So this means it would not even need a DVD DL.



All in all there is no reason to throttle the games, to fit. Don't be afraid ;)

by R Kelly - 2007-03-23 01:37
» I cant believe this

The sony fanboys are pissed off because the inevitable happened. In the world we live in exclusives titles are not a good thing for business. If a company can make one game and sell it to the owners of 3 different systems they can make a faster and larger return for their money. This is why the ps3 will fail. The ps3 has the smallest(and apparently *****iest) user base. It also has the hardware that is the hardest to develope for and the most expensive development. They can make a better game on the 360 for a lot less money and then make a halfassed ps3 port because only 15 people have one anyway. these 15 people are so hungry for any kind of software at all that they will buy it no matter what.... personally i see no down side to this... The fanboys only complaint is that if the game is multiplatform and sells well other games will go multiplatform and soon there will be little if any reason to have a ps3...especially since either one of the other systems cost less and have the same games....they need to be boycotting sony not capcom.

by Snaku - 2007-03-23 01:39
» He does have a point

Multiplatform games are almost always inferior to exclusives. Probably something to do with keeping the code as universal between the systems as possible. That said, I doubt that many of the complainers are really thinking of game quality.

I personnaly wasn't especially interested in this game but I am disapointed to see the PS3 losing territory. I bought a PS3 because it's exclusives appealed to me more than 360's. I'll be very upset if I find out I didn't have to give up Halo 3 so I could have FFXIII and MGS.

by 360 fan - 2007-03-23 01:40
» wtf

Seriously, WTF. When was capcom EVER committed to Sony? Heck, capcom was making games on Nintendo and SEGA systems long before Sony came along. Where is your boycott on that move? Capcom has never been exclusive to playstation.



It is incredible how these playstation people have tunnel vision. They see only the PS2 and their dreams for the PS3. Anything outside that scope is by default wrong. Capcom is not and has never been Sony. There have been capcom titles on every major platform over the years.



Instead of asking "what is wrong with capcom", the question that everyone should be asking is "what is wrong with the PS3 that has caused capcom to make this move?"

by lmxloco - 2007-03-23 02:28
» .

Umm, you might want to learn a little bit about what you are talking about before trying to slam the 360.



DVD-9's have never contained just 4.7GB, and while the extra Blu-Ray capacity would come in handy on some games, most won't fill up that space (including DMC4) unless a bunch of bloat is added, like uncompressed audio for extra languages or way too many CGI sequences.



In most cases, DVD-9's capacity is just fine.

by MrDaBucket - 2007-03-23 02:29

The PS3 install-base may not be enough for Capcom to sell DMC4 and this game will HAVE to be multiplatform.

by Mister Common Sense - 2007-03-23 02:43
» Yes blame Capcom for sony's mistakes.

Maybe if sony cared about playstation more than blu ray, the PS3 would have come out on time and be $200 cheaper. They could sell enough units to attract more exclusive titles, and more games would already be out, helping sales more.

All Capcom is trying to do is make sure they can make back development costs in a reasonable amount of time.

Capcom wont even think about this unless it hit somewhere around 500,000+ signatures. and since maybe only 50,000 or less people actually give a ***** about this. it'll never happen.



And maybe if it hit 1,000,000 (not that there are even that many PS3's in the US) they might make it go to sony only.



BUT YOU *****ING RETARDS. this is a company, a business. THEY WANT TO MAKE MONEY. the PS3 isn't going to make them a damn cent. so they're going to all 3 platforms.

If you DON'T buy the PS3 version of Devil May Cry 4, then it will only affirm to Capcom that the X360 is the way to go, and they might even DROP development for the PS3, or atleast cripple it.



I say supporting the game on the PS3 is the way to beat this. If the PS3 sales of DMC4 are astronomical compared to the PC and 360, then there's a chance we'll get our franchise back in the future.

» Well....

I mean if you were a true fan of Devil May Cry 4 u would buy it regardless even if it when on another platform. Personally I got the 360 and I was plannin to buy the PS3 for games like DMC4, MGS4, FXIII, KH3 GOW3, well u catch my drift but when i heard the news that DMC4 is going to the 360 i was happy that the 360 gamers get to play the latest adventure of Nero but still PS3 gamers have really good exclusives. I mean this is RIDICULOUS boycotting a game cause its on a different platform and its still on the platform it was originally on. I mean yeah Capcom made a buisness choice to make DMC4 on the 360 mostly cause of the sales of DEAD RISING and LOST PLANET whos not to say the PS3 will get the sequel to the Dead Rising and plus Now the PS3 has NINJA GAIDEN SIGMA which is Exclusive on the PS3 i mean we still have Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox but thats just it its for the Xbox we would also like to play as Rachael with extra missions, better visuals, new enemies,bosses, weapons,etc so there is nothin to really complain about the people who signed this pettition are not gamers probably some people that worked with sony, or something. So what im saying is get DMC4 for the game not what platform its on!!!!

That's what Sony gets for being so arrogant. Capcom is a business too, they can't have games out for just Sony with a console barely selling at all. That's not good business. If they would have lowered the prices on the console and had better games come out, maybe Capcom would have stayed along with other 3rd Party games. It's the end of for Sony.

Oh that's right Capcom needs as much money as they can right now. Then why the hell are Dead Rising and Lost Planet exclusive to the 360. They need money so they might as well port those two games to the PS3 right. But yet they don't I wonder why?

But I say 360 is better! I mean, look at the self-shadowing on the MLB 2K7 for 360 vs. the PS3 one which doesn't have that.

V took the words right out of my mouth, if you sign(ed) this petition you are not a gamer and not a fan of Capcom. If you were you would be happy that so many more people get to play a great series like Devil May Cry.

» You know you've lost when you have to flat-out lie to demean the competition

I really hope your just that ignorant, if not then Sony fans have really just run out of material haven't they? Any monkey should know the XBOX 360 uses DVD9, which can hold 8.9 GB of data, not 4.7 and not simply 8 (some Sany fanboys seem to like to round down from 8.9).



Oh and I can almost guarantee you that if you load up any PS3 game on a PC and check out the data, you will see that it is not over 8.9 GB of REAL data (duplicated data to improve load times and uncompressed HD videos don't count)

The most Sony's done with their storage is put multiple language versions of the same game on one disc...at least for now, the DVD-9 storage space isn't an issue.



And even when it is, multiple discs maybe? Seriously, its really a non issue

sony shouldnt waste time on DMC4





Now keeping Monster Hunter 3 exclusive is something they should seriously worry about

by Ross - 2007-03-23 13:05
» Kutibh is a moron

First off its 8.5 GB, not 4.7 GB. Second 99.999999999% of every game that has ever come out in the history of video gaming can fit in 8.5 gigs of space.

Second, more gigs will not compensate for a crippled processor (cell) or last-gen video hardware(rsx). So the "true powa of teh cell" will not be seen until the devs get used to the tricks and handicaps they have to impose on themselves to actually get the damn thing to work.

You know whats funny oblivion was originally just on 360 and PC, when this game went to the ps3 all the pc and 360 people said congragulations your getting a great game. When this game became multiplatform some people screamed that it was an injustice and that this game should require a ps3 and not a 360 or pc, basically sony fanboys cann't stand not having it their way.

Besides, you Xbots need to keeping dreaming if you want FF13 and MGS4 for 360. Like its going to happen, dumb sons of *****es....

by MGSROCKS1 - 2007-03-23 15:54
» To 80956

The reason why Capcom didn't bring Lost Planet and Dead Rising to PS3 is because it costs money and development time to port a game or utilize a game in another system. The Xbox360 is a console they can make money at and so they are not going to try and loose more money by doing a port.

by datnizzle - 2007-03-23 18:05

As long as the game is on the system you have, who cares?

» tis the fun part see

im number 4444th petitioner.

im neutral in this issue but it is fun to see what a big corporation like Capcom will do if fans voice out major concerns.

i pretty much know capcom will not make dmc4 a ps3 exclusive again even if this petition reaches a few hundred thousand or the magic millions but again it LET's SEE, im very interested in the outome of this petition.

I swear, some people really need to get out more. Only an immature little nerd would start up something like this.



Let's all have a cry because DMC is getting ported to more then one platform boo hoo hoo!

by MikeZombie777 - 2007-03-23 23:33
» Ha

2452 signatures, 1.65 million+ PS3's sold......Yeah that means a lot....Idiots.



These petitions ALWAYS die out within 48hrs or so. Just another one on the pile. Me thinks some people need to get out more, grow up & find something worthwhile to cry about.



Does anyone passed the age of 15 actually act like this?

That number is rapidly increasing. All the promotion and articles on the other gaming sites are really helping this petition. I registered my name, why not, maybe we'll get our quality back.

by poo - 2007-03-24 08:49
» darn

now the game is gonna look like crap since its a port and has to be made to fit on the inferior dvd. If it was an exclusive the graphics would be alot better, but now it has to be lowered down to be xbox compatible.

i say we make a petition for all the ppl that dont care if DMC4 goes to 360 and for all those that signed that petition to go ***** themselves and maybe if we get enough to sign it theyll do it ...lofl

I am a HUGE Devil May Cry fan, and have played all of them at least twice. the idiots that thought this was a bad thing are, well, idiots. so now i can play DMC4 on my 360, get achievements AND talk to my friends?!?! wow, sounds great to me. I am not saying that I hate Sony and the playstation brand, I am saying that it gives people options, and most people like that. :)

What a bunch of babies. Not to mention they'll all probably buy it anyways. Waaaaaaaaay more people own a 360 than a PS3, Capcom only benefits from making it multiplatform

The funniest part about that whole petition is the sentance right at the start of it, talking about how they "feel left out". So by letting everybody join in, you feel left out? Curse you, I'm included in the fun! this is an outrage!

Great idea! Boycott them, so they sell even less copies of the game on your console! That should show 'em.

» Blue-ray -dvd- dl-dvd and HD-DVD

Guys wake the hell up. seriously, i like sony always have since PS1 and to be honest who cares what system the games get ported to. In the coming days and years most games not developed by sony or ms will go multi platform.





As for blue-ray being slower. wake up. most people on these things have no idea what they are talking about. go check the specs. just because something is 2x doesn't mean it 2x like its is on dvd or cdrom. look at how many Megs/per second it transferes.



so to simplify for the idiots.



cdrom = 800MB

DVD = 4.7GB

DL-DVD= 8.5GB (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-DL#Dual_layer_recording )

Blue-ray = 25GB / 50GB on Dual layered (check wikipedia)



Speeds are related to the techologies and not the 2x or 4x and so on. Please wake up and back some of your information with facts. and i don't mean creative facts.



Now call me a fan boy cause i discredited you, not like i care. Enjoy games they are meant to be played. What would be cool is if all these games came out on both systems then i could play against my friends that own an xbox360 or a PS3. sorry to be off topic somewhat but remember everyone will defend their investement. It's human nature to do so.

by yep - 2007-04-07 02:17
» yeah

the only reason there is ten million is because every one of you has to buy the system at least 2 times. i dont hahahahaha

» Your right but....

Your right but, notice that LOST PLANET and DEAD RISING are still to this day exclusive. Face it, Microsoft owns the world. They put money out there to keep thier games exclusive. Even if capcom were to put dmc4 on the 360, it would make more profit period. Microsoft got that guapo.
