Another great Review of DMC4

"So this day finally came. About 15 hours ago, a box came in. That box contained 2 disc boxes, both marked "Devil May Cry 4?. One was for the Xbox 360, and the other for PlayStation 3.

And I finally beat it. Guess which one? "

"And I finally beat it. Guess which one?"

No one cares.

Just like no one cares about a game that is gimped to run on the Xbox 360's smaller than last gen 7gig DVD discs, no standard harddrive, and wimpy graphics hardware.

When DMC was released on the PS2 years ago it looked and played like a real next gen game because it wasn't gimped to run on the Dreamcast.

Capcom's once great reputation is ruined until they can demonstrate they can make a real next gen game and not more last gen looking crap based off their tired old Lost Planet engine.

I don't understand the DreamCast was more powerful. Hmmm.

EDIT below: It was a valid reply to a flame post, you need to be talking to the guy above me not I. lol

zambrota5945d ago

you are giving xboxers bad name.

ps3 is already around the lifetime sales of dreamcast (10 million)

Plus dont want to start an arguement but you do know who could possibly own 2008 just like we knew who could win 2007 atleast in software sales.

why post flamebait comments and loose bubbles?

Tsukasah5945d ago (Edited 5945d ago )

Cerulean is wrong, actually. The DC was much more powerful than the PS2. Oh, and the 360 has a stronger GPU. The PS3 is still much, much stronger when using the Cell and RSX together, and correctly. Also, this game wasn't entirely downgraded, just ported to 360. I am Anti-Microsoft, but unlike you, I'm not an idiot.

@below

I'm pretty sure the DC is better than the PS2. I mean look at the differences in graphics. Sonic Adventure looks a helluva lot better than almost all PS2 games I've played. I think the only thing more advanced in the PS2 was the disk drive.

xionpunk5945d ago (Edited 5945d ago )

@ PoG. The dreamcast was more powerful than the ps2? Uuum...you don't really believe that do you?
Maybe I'm wrong but aren't the ps2 specs better than DC's?

Ju5945d ago

Hm, I don't think that the DC is more powerful then the PS2. Both use a ~200MHz cpu. While this is an SH4 (a 32bit RISC cpu) in the DC Sony used an extended MIPS core with 128 bit register extensions (actually at 294MHz), +2 vector cores, one attached to the CPU, the other as a copro closer to the GS. The GS is attached to the CPU thru a 2560 bit bus. That's where the PS2 gets its bandwidth from. On the other hand, the DC runs a PowerVR arcade chip. The PowerVR chip has its advantages, especially in its ability to do tiled based rendering. The DC had 16MB main mem, 4MB video and 2 for sound and supported HW texture compression (BTW: I am still looking for a Dreamcast which can run linux and a network adapter. I can't get mine to boot that linux image - anyone ?). The PS2 uses 32MB RDRAM (rambus) memory with a bandwidth of about 3.2GB/sec (which is still high, even today). The GS has its own 4MB eDRAM framebuffer with internal bandwidth of about 38GB/s (!). PS2 uses a 24xCD/4xDVD drive, DC a GDROM (basically a CD ROM which can store 1GB data).
So, I don't know, I'd say the PS2 is pretty much ahead of it.

RecSpec5945d ago

Hooray for technical mumbo-jumbo

Tsukasah5945d ago

The DC can run linux? How? Are you talking about on a live cd or something? I have my DC still, but I had to take the lid off because it would make the disk stop spinning (for some reason) but anyways enlighten me on this linux with DC! :D First Ubuntu Linux on my PC and PS3. To have it on the DC would be great.

Oh, and just out of plain curiosity. Are the PSO servers still up?(For DC) I heard something not too long ago that someone made their own server for it since they couldn't get off the game(I don't blame them).

Ju5945d ago

DC Linux: Take a look here: http://linuxdc.sourceforge.... (interestingly that page got just updated...today).

There's no live or distro available. Probably a bootable CD image somewhere. But its more directed to people who who want to play around with a small embedded linux box. Someone even made it a router. To boot that image you need to scramble and what not and AFAIS you need a specific version to boot it. I think needs to be an NTSC version (mine is a PAL, should try to get one fro ebay). I am pretty sure I did everything right, (compiled the kernel, built the ISO, scrambled it, etc) but I couldn't get it to boot yet.

(oops, that was so offtopic, but I thought some might be interested).

TheXgamerLive5944d ago

But, even that was minor, as both version looked 95% identical.

Yes, the ps3 version was ported to the Xbox 360 as the ps3 was it's original platform, DUH!:))

Buy either version that you wish, it's still going to be the same game.

bioshock. 2 of the best games this gen. IMO 3rd and 4th best game this gen right behind bioshock, and smg

zambrota5945d ago

Gears of War, BioShock, Uncharted, Ratcher & Clank

power of Green 5945d ago

Just his opinion and preference. 360 owners won't know any better as PS3 fans didn't know any better when playing COD4.

RecSpec5945d ago

Haha, power of green, you inadvertently just shot down 95 percent of all xbot arguments that have been made over the last year. Kudos to you.

Bathyj5944d ago

He sure did. Bookmark this page for future reference.

According to POG Halo isn't that good a shooter. Xbots just dont know any better.
Forza isn't a good racer. They just dont know any better.

Dont worry I wont attack titles that are actually good games and if you dont like it, hey, talk to your leader.

PS, I own all the consoles and play them too (well, I dont play Wii) so I know better than you POG, and dont tell me you have a PS3 because you wouldn't keep one in your house if you won it free.

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."

VersusDMC11d ago

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

VersusDMC10d 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.

Exvalos10d ago

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

Cacabunga10d 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

Friendlygamer11d 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

monkey60210d ago (Edited 10d 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_Suzumiya10d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde10d 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

SeTTriP10d 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.

Aaroncls788d 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.

Sephiroushin87d ago (Edited 87d 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 Butt447d 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.

chrisx447d ago

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

Knushwood Butt446d ago

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

kevco33447d ago

No troll, I always preferred DMC.

No haters, please.

Knushwood Butt446d ago

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

FallenAngel1984447d ago

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