It's official: Capcom confirms Devil May Cry 4 on PS3, 360, and PC |
Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags: Capcom, Mark Beaumont, playstation 3 updates
Ó
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.

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.

If you chose not to stay loyal to those that supported you than you have no right to expect us to remain loyal to you.

lost VF5 and now DMC4. So what. It's not like your not
going to play the game. 360 owners get to enjoy it as well,
thats all.
I stopped being to loyal the minute they stopped making
Street Fighter, but that doesn't meanI don't play the
games they make. And honestly, if you don't play DMC4
because you can't have that superior feeling of superiority,
Capcoms not the one missing out. It's you.

so big deal that they're coming out the same year instead of 2 years later. Capcom is going to spend a lot of money on this game and if they make it a PS3 exclusive they're going to lose money. There just simply arn't enough PS3's sold to make any PS3 only game worth it. Sorry guys thats the honest to god truth, and i am a sony fan and i'll say it. Maybe a year from now it will be different. but right now this is how everything is going to be.
Now for the love of god please let rockstar see this and make GTAIV for the PC in october as well.

so it`s easy to port a game, and i wouldn`t suprice, if they will announce port of LOST PLANET for PC and PS3. =)
Konami doesn`t use cross-platform engine.
White Engine as far as i know, also is not cross-platform engine.
EDGE also not cross-platform. :-D
UE3.0 is cross-platform.
The engine used in SW:Unleashed also cross-platform.
Cry Engine 2 definately cross-platform for pc and ps3, xbox360 like pc, so and for xbox360.
SO, PS3 GAME MAY BECOME MULTIPLATFORM, IF ONLY IT`S DEVELOPED ON CROSS-PLATFORM ENGINE. =)
Just on game from 10 AAA titles of 2007 has become multiplatform:
GTA4
AC
DMC4
MGS4
KillZone2
HS
NGS
Lair
Uncharted
Ratchet
LBP
MotorStorm
Big Deal.

I love MS strategy.
Step 1: Make a console (Xbox) and canabalize yourself to gain a brand image, name and a piece of the market.
Step 2: When you realize that you cant beat the competitor, forsake the current console and pump all your resources into making a next gen console and get it out before your rivals.
Step 3: Now that your the first to market and your still canabalizing your console sales convince developers to make exclusive titles and convince exclusive titles for your competitors to switch to multi-platform.
Step 4: If you see any competitor come close to your sales (aka wii) announce development of your next console...
Step 5: If your not winning by year 2-3 bring out the new console in year 4 and rinse repeat until you finally win, using your companies other business units as capital funding for your console division
MS will win simply because they have a never ending well of money. Its sad really when a company so addicted to winning and controlling every market that can exist throws all the money they can to win...
Im suprised they didnt give every consumer a free Zune player and a $50 cheque to kill apples Ipod...
And when all games are multi-platform we will wait even longer while they port the game to other platforms and the dev team gets used to programming on another entirly new system...
I bet MS end goal is to be the only console in the market...

i own a 360 and 360 only at the moment,but i do believe the PS3 could definitely do with all the help it can get.....microsoft surely does have a foolproof plan with their game console,because like a poster said before,they have an infinite well of money pretty much,and well,sony fans can make up whatever they want from that,but i reckon.......i dont reckon nuthin,just that xbox live is the biggest point in grabbing a 360,such a large and robust service!

Don't forget, every multiplatform game so far looks best on the 360. Coupled with Xbox live and a smaller price tag, there's just no reason for devs to stay with PS3.

As far as console exclusives go,I certainly think MS XB has better ones than PS....THere's definitely no way PS can have better games than Halo or Gears of War,trust me on this.I've played all games there is to offer.....So is that y u r angry Constantinecy?

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.

The only problem i have with it as when they go multi it means the final product is sort of a dumbed down version of what the game could've been.
They have to spend time developing each version to be more or less equal so the fan boys don't complain, time that could have been spent optimising the game on a specific console, and winding up with a really great game instead of an average - ok game.
I really hope capcom really do as they say and put some effort into developing the different versions to each platforms strengths

I wouldn't be surprised if all those childish comments here were written by 13 year old kids, who got their ps3's from daddy, and are now frustrated because their console isn't worth daddy's money...
What the Ps3 needs is exclusive games, but sony is losing an exclusive title every month...
One has to say Microsoft has been smarter till now!

So I guess 1 loss = 2 wins for the PS3 owner, if it does indeed come true.

As stated by jb, Blu-ray in the Ps3 is slower DVD on the 360, so load times are likely to be longer!!!
Yes they could dump GBs of the game onto the PS3 to help load times (do you really want that from all games?), but they can also use the 360's HDD _IF_ they want too (core 360 owners will not benefit of course). However, with the speed of the DVD drive in the 360, there's probably no need.

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!

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.

All 3 rd party games on both systems will probably be multiplatform anyway in a matter of time(maybe 1 year).
I don't know why a company would restrict themselves to one console anyway, they'd make more money one both.
All i can say is sony better start make A+ 1st party games in cellius (bandai + sony), or else there entire plan for blu-ray domination will fail.
Anyway sony still haven't lanuched their console in europe yet sale will get a major push, and things could go back to normal.

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.

Games likely to be good given the previous games, i.e. proven quality, God of War 3 and Ratchet + Clank. That's it!!! Everything else is unproven.
Games which may be good. Heavenly Sword given the footage and hands-on reports so far.
But Africa? What do we *actually* know about this? Right now, it's not a must have game for anyone.
Heavy Rain? That's just a realtime cut scene right now, and the devs deny it's a PS3 exclusive, saying they're working on PS3, PC AND 360. So this game is likely to be on all three.
http://ps3.qj.net/Heavy-Rain-Interview-And-New-Screens/pg/49/aid/52910
Killzone. Well the first was average and all we've seen of the sequel is that pre-rendered trailer at E3 (but we'll see it soon since it was shown behind closed doors at GDC).
The Eight Days trailer is just a pre-rendered 'target' for the game. So again, not worth putting on that list.
Lair has potential, but given Factor 5's past record of games, I'm yet to be convinced it's anything more than just graphics over gameplay.
Eye of Judgement look interesting, but we'll have to wait and see.
So other than R+C and GoW3, your list is rather pointless.

Smarter AI also has nothing to do with space. AI depends on CPU power (BOTH general and arithmetic), RAM and code. Whilst the PS3 is capable of twice the floating-point power of the 360, the 360 is capable of up to 3 times the power of the PS3 for general code. Both consoles also have the same amount of RAM (512MB), so expect AI to be about the same on BOTH (it balances out).
More voice overs? Yes it's possible if the game is on ONE disk only (and it's easier to manage), but if the game is spread over multiple disks, then again, this will not be the case.
So to address your original post. Multi-platform games are NOT getting down sized and it's foolish to assume this. If a game is so big that it can't fit on one DVD, then the 360 will require multiple disks whereas the PS3 version needs just one. THAT'S ALL.
Also, downloadable content is becoming more important as this gen progresses, which means more and more of our game content will be stored on the HDD (take GTA4 for example, with it's exclusive episodic content).
So stop making excuses. Last gen, multi-platform games were not down sized because of the PS2 and GC, instead, in most cases, the XBox had the best version thanks to space and power. The PS2 version had the space but suffered due to less power and less memory, and the GC had the power but often suffered due to less space and less memory.
If the PS3 has all the advantages you claim, then it should have the best version of multi-platform games. However, given what we know about both consoles, expect to see little (if any) difference since both are similar in terms of power and memory, with disk space issues resolved through multiple disks.

if you read all the hideo kojima interviews he states that he would have added more content to his games if he had more disk space
people always complain about load times so imagine if the people that complain about load times have to swap two or three disk to play games that fit on one blueray or hd dvd little thing like that bother .so where im getting at is that u can get 1080p textures uncompressed 7.1 surround sound uncompressed bigger maps more cut scenes which games like devil may cry and metal gear take advantage of so when developers start to need more space thats when theyll take advantage of blue ray so until then no more unfinished games like oblivion on 360 which u need to download textures that didnt fit on the disk just so it can look as good as the ps3 version and im not making this up developers need memory so if u want a 3 disk blue dragon go ahead .i want a one disk final fantasy with non compressed 1080p texturs for a real full hd experience..soon all developers will go 25 gig then 50 gigs in about 2 to three years cause sony is still launching thier system in time developers will come back..
ps ..i love games not systems for all u fanboys cant wait to play halo 3 i baught crackdown 4 the beta !!!

Now in all your replies here, not once have you shown where this has happened in the past. Where had the XBox version of a multi-platform game been 'down sized' because of the PS2 and GC? As I mentioned, the XBox version was usually the best version, with better textures, effects, more polygons etc, so if your claims about the PS3 is true, then IT SHOULD ALSO BE THE BEST VERSION, including textures and effects, not a version down sized because of the 360.
So your whole arguement that for today's multi-platform games the PS3 version will be down sized because of the 360 is completely FALSE. Take the Darkness for example, because of the extra space on Blu-ray, the devs will include complete TV shows which gamers can watch on TVs within the game itself. So how is the PS3 version down sized in this case? And other devs have there own ideas of how to use the extra space on Blu-ray. Which leads neatly onto the other point.
>"exlain why 9 gigs is beter than 25 to 50 gigs for HD gaming".
I never said it was better, more space equals more CONTENT, not better content, but much of that can be achieved on multiple disks on the 360. Hence I said it wasn't the problem YOU make it out to be. For example, take your arguement that gamers will complain about multiple disks, you say this in one post, and then in your next post you list a number of popular games from previous gens which were on multiple disks!!! So like I said, it's NOT a problem for gamers, especially if the game is great!
Also, the idea that Blu-ray means uncompressed textures at 1080p is nonsense. Compressed textures are used not just because they save disk space, but MOSTLY because they save space in video RAM and reduce bandwidth (i.e. quicker to load). The PS3 has just 256MB of video RAM, therefore if you compress your textures to 1/4 the original size, not only do they take 1/4 of the time to load, but you can squeeze 4 TIMES AS MANY TEXTURES in video RAM and still maintain the same quality overall. All modern GPUs have hardware support for decompression, hence they can deal with compressed textures without losing any performance.
That's why despite all the space available on Blu-ray, a minority of PS3 games support 1080p natively, since RAM and processing power are the biggest limitations to it's use!
For streamed content, such as voice overs for realtime cut scenes, then yes, devs can use uncompressed PCM audio if they want to during cut scenes. This doesn't necessarily improve the quality over over formats, but it does reduce processing power requirements, and therefore can be helpful (but it's not for ingame sound effects because these have to be stored in RAM ready for IMMEDIATE use).
Finally, I couldn't help but notice your Resident Evil 4 comments where you ignore the fact that the PS2 version was released long after the GC original and therefore benefitted from the extra time. Despite this, the textures were INFERIOR on the PS2 version despite being released on DVD (due to the reasons I've given about RAM and power), and the lighting effects were inferior to the GC version too.
http://uk.ps2.gamespy.com/playstation-2/resident-evil-4/653813p1.html
"The only real differences here are the slightly downgraded visuals. On the whole, texture quality is lower than on the GameCube and everything appears to be a little "muddier" on the PS2."
Hmmm, if that's my quick reply....
