Poland.US - Devil May Cry 4 Review

DMC4 is essentially the same game released on consoles in the spring, though we give much kudos to Capcom for taking the time to optimize their engine so drastically and adding PC-specific features. This is undoubtedly the premiere version of the game.

better version on PC.. but this wont last anymore.. nex-gen games will need Nex-gen storage media (Blu-ray)..

otherwise they need huge amount of HDD for install(you know the examples)

side effects: lengthy time for install,limited workspace for developers..

Charmers5802d ago

PC games have always required installation, they required it years ago when games were just 10 - 20mbs and they require it today where games require 8,000mbs. This really isn't an issue, the only people that think it is an issue are PS3 users. The most graphically sophisticated game on the market at the moment is Crysis. When installed it takes up less than 7gbs yet it has graphics that blow anything a "next gen" console with a "next gen" disc system can do.

I don't see PC users worrying about game installations, I know I am not stressing myself too much about it. You seem to forget just because your console has a small 60gb drive doesn't mean PC users suffer the same. I believe the minimum HD installed in most new PC's is approaching 320gb's and it is a fairly simple procedure to add extra HD's

So I think the PC will do just fine, meanwhile certian console users will have to put up with 8 min installs and still have to run their games from a slow blu-ray drive.

M337ING5802d ago

PC's don't need Blu-Ray drives because they have the space on the hard drive to uncompress and install. Also, accessing a hard drive is much faster than a blu-ray disk

MADGameR5802d ago

As LONG as games go multiplatform to the 360 as well, PS3 games will ALWAYS be held back because devs want to make it ''fair'' and want to make both games ''Identicle''

Cartesian3D5802d ago (Edited 5802d ago )

so you think DVD will be enough for another 10 years , because you can install any amount of data on current HUGE HDD s... ?

many ppl thought the same 5 years ago about CD .. sorry but your statement is hilarious :P ..

its really obvious.. 9 GB wont be enough for ultra high res textures,high def sounds..etc .. CRYSIS was just a DirectX 10 showcase nothin more.. I love the valuable single player games, so without nex-gen storage media all games will become just multiplayer with 1 hour single player, or sth like oblivion with copy paste textures all over the maps..

Crysis had a little BS story(voice acting,cutscenes,... etc ) and short single player ( open world but linear objectives )

@M337ING :
lol.. so why they didnt use CD instead of DVD ? u can install 25 GB of data in the same time as 9 GB from DVD just using Blu-ray.. in the future u will need to install 20 GB of data on your 2TB hdd from a Blu-ray drive just in 2 minute..

Charmers5802d ago

I don't even know why you are making an issue of this ? We have been through this change over so many times. There was a time when games fitted on 1 floppy, then cd's came out. Guess what happened for a while you could get games on floppy and CD till eventually they dropped floppy. Then of course there was the change over to DVD from CD. Yet again we saw games come on several cd's for a few years with the option of having them on DVD till DVD took over.

Please get this into your head storage is NOT an issue on the PC, you say 9gb isn't enough for "ultra high res textures" well I have yet to see a PS3 game with "ultra high res textures". I have seen plenty of PC games with "ultra high res textures" though. The only people at the moment flapping their arms and decrying we are all doomed because of DVD seems to be PS3 users. Hmm I wonder why that is, I mean I see multiplatform games on 360/PS3/PC and they all LOOK better, PERFORM better, run at HIGHER resolutions and framerates on the PC.

As for your dig that DVD games will become short 1 hour games, yeah how long was uncharted ? If memory serves that is a 5 hour game. Again game length and quality has absolutely NOTHING to do with the storage medium (like that is an issue on the PC anyway). I am quite glad Crysis didn't have much in the way of cutscenes, I want to PLAY my games not watch some naff cutscenes done by a moronic wannabe hollywood director.

I don't expect DVD to be around forever no doubt we will move on to a bigger storage medium sooner or later. However hopefully it will be done at the markets pace and not rammed down people's throat because "Sony says so" which seems to be the line you are following.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC42d ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos42d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga41d ago

Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5

2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me

Friendlygamer42d ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey60242d ago (Edited 42d ago )

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya42d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde42d ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP42d ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.

Bless the adorably all digital future! When it comes to PC games its not as big of an issue because there should always be another way to access single player games, but still, I hate to see anything get delisted.

Aaroncls7120d ago

Well, DMC4 special edition has a lot of issues to run from Steam.
I have to get a modded executable to even be able to run the game on Windows 10.
Not sure if it is because the game runs in DirectX10 or what, but it sucks they have not even tried to fix it.

Sephiroushin119d ago (Edited 119d ago )

DMC4 Special Edition is not delisted, it was just the standard version, it has nothing to do with issues of performance or anything alike. Its just that Capcom probably do not want to sell the standard version, neither the standalone DMC3 version.

Devil May Cry 4 - 15 Years of Nero

Devil May Cry 4 launched 15 years ago today, bringing with it new character Nero. Has it stood the test of time?

Knushwood Butt479d ago

Never liked it and I think I got it day 1.

Cheap Capcom design of half a game that you have to walk through twice.

5 isn't much different in that department. Encounter the same boss three times with three different characters? Endless warehouses or alien-like tunnels that all look the same.

chrisx479d ago

In DMC 5, it's 4 times you encounter the same bosses if you count the Vergil dlc lol

Knushwood Butt478d ago

Yeah, I'm only up to chapter 19 so the total count can only go up!

kevco33479d ago

No troll, I always preferred DMC.

No haters, please.

Knushwood Butt478d ago

I'm actually with you there, but DMC has that terrible writing. Alex Garland isn't it?

FallenAngel1984479d ago

Nero will always stand the rest of time against Donte and Viola
