1UP previews Devil May Cry 4

1UP checks out the PS3 version and a new area.

[sonarus]

whoa!!! 1up admits ps3 version looks better wow completely shocked. 1up also says it plays better on ps3 controller cus of the triggers and bumpers didnt expect that either. Some games i jst can't play well and DMC and ninja gaiden will definetly be among them. 360 may be more balanced over all thats a matter of opinion but for me ps3 controller is more ideal for games like these. And fighting games too cus 360 d pad sucks ballz.

hahaha @power of green devil may cry looks better than ninja gaiden II apparently lol. Maybe you can tab both screenshots and move between em really fast.

[MADGameR]

So there you have it ignorant 360 fans. PS3 version of DMC4 looks better! This is the thing about 360 fans, if the multi versions are better on the PS3, they come out saying ''oh this game is short anyway or this game sucks anyway or its nothing compared to Halo 3!'' Let go of your pride for once! XD

[eagle21]

Nice 2008 start for PS3!

[TeaDouble_E]

Report LOL PS3 IS JUNK LOL for using offensive language and for being off topic !

[TheXgamerLive]

The ps3 version had atleast 1 year head start on the development of this game, so don't worry the Xbox 360 version will still come out looking better at it's release. It always does.

And control wise, well that's a matter of opinion, I personally hate the ps controllers, they suck especially the D pad, but again just a matter of opinion, I'm guessing whatever console you adjust to you prefer that controller.

[DemiseofPandas]

If you've ever played a devil may cry game you should know that the d-pad is strictly used for menu shortcuts.

[DrPirate]

@1.5 Please don't tell me you just chose the 360's shameful piece of broken plastic of a D-Pad over the PS3's.

It's one thing to have a controller preference, that's ok. But to outright lie and say you actually LIKE the 360's d-pad? Wow.. You must be batsh*t insane.

Also, place all the excuses you want. For all those years of having better 360 version rubbed in my face. I'll give it back for once. DMC4 PS3 is the definitive version. I bet most 360 fans won't even pick it up, do you guys even care about DMC series?

[Naruto]

1up admits ps3 version looks better wow completely shocked

[rofldings]

:O

Make way; Make way ...

Here comes the xbot damage control team.

[sonarus]

why you gonna copy paste my comment. thats annoying:(

[gamesblow]

I'm not a fan and I can look at it thru unbias eyes... This game will play just like DMC3 and look like it in Hd. That's my take... I'm waiting for it to prove me wrong.

Also, DMC games are super short... I can't wait to see how the short factor plays out here. I'm sure reviews are going to be super easy on the fact it's 7 hours long, but Uncharted and Heavenly sword got bashed for it. Uncharted, by the way, is a 10 hour game... not a 7.

Gears of War, Bioshock, Halo 3, COD 4 ... All games that can be beat in 7 hours and under, yet get 9's and 10's and not a word slanted at how short they are. Whatever...

[okcomputer]

Its an action game, so of course it will play just like the others, and theres nothing wrong with that. God of War 3 will probably play just like the others in the series also, and I'm looking forward to it. Theres really only so much you can do with these action games without screwing up the central formula that makes them great in the first place.

Also theres NO WAY IN HELL Bioshock can be beaten in 7 hours. If you even think that, then its obvious you've never played through the game, and have no basis to critique the scores.

[Danja]

DMC3 had an amazing figting engine..if they make it better for DMC4..im happy...and as okcmputer said..GOW3 wil have most of the same combos..and fighting sytem and I wouldn't have it any other way..as long as they implement more combos on top of the older ones..plus more magics..and better weapons im good..the story will kick ass..so no need to worry

[DemiseofPandas]

Devil May Cry games are relatively short, but they give a lot of incentive to replay harder difficulties, such as costumes and infinite devil trigger. Like Ninja Gaiden the games don't feel like you are necessarily playing through it again, because of the difference in AI and Damage, as well as the placement of end game enemies earlier in levels. They do a good job of balancing the difficulties to prepare you for the next one. At least to me it makes the game feel continuous, and definately gets a lot of replay from me.

[pwnsause]

YES although the game is multiplatform, the PS3 version is still superior. plus it plays better. I've been a fan of DMC for a long time, the reason why I brought a PS2 in the first place. i dont care if this game is AA or AAA, im still getting it.

[Blademask]

After Power Of Green,The Round Peg,BLOODMASK,Zhuck, and First Knight get out of their Xbot weekly meeting... there is going to be hell to pay.

(gets popcorn)

[name]

I'm more of a God of war/soul calibur fan, but I'm sure this'll please some people since alot of devil may cry fans were sore about it being multiplat.

[fopums]

well guys it was dev'd on the PS3 so it should look better on it.....but Im still suprised 1up is being so PS3 friendly lately.

maybe after the GS disaster everyone may just pull their heads out of their asses and behave like professionals.

[Meus Renaissance]

"It looks better than Ninja Gaiden 2".

Well as the saying goes, "we'll see" but for 1UP of all people to actually admit that one game looks better on the Playstation 3, and that itself looks better than Ninja Gaiden 2, is definitely something to bite on in future discussions.

[lawman1108]

I won't buy this game for the 360 or the PS3

[razer]

Shane the Sony Fanboy says it looks better eh?? LOL! You people are such tools!

Man, that last place you guys find yourself in is totally making you psychotic. I mean 1.1 this will wipe with floor with NG 2?? WOW, you need to take your meds.

[Meus Renaissance]

Actually if you watch again, it wasn't Shane who said that the PS3 version looked better. What he did say, however, is that he has heard the game "feels better" on the PS3 controller than on the 360 version.

AND..

It was not Shane who said Devil May Cry looks better than Gaiden, it was the other guy next to him. So you're wrong on both counts. And talking about fanboys on 1UP, the vast majority of them are fans of a particular console it sounds like but only Shane is pro-Sony whereas the others remain to be Pro-Xbox.

[fopums]

your ultra defensive comment clearly makes you look more sane then the rest of us. maybe you need some med's.

[C_SoL]

ya, he actually does say it looks better then the 360's & plays better too. Watch it for ur self..I see that ur taking sides, again...

[sonarus]

lol they both agreed that ninja gaiden initial showing was quite impressive and dmc4 looked better dnt knw much about the 1up individuals but maybe both of dem are sony fanboys

[razer]

Sony fanboys at 1up having a conversation about this game and of course they are going to say the PS3 version looks better. And I am not getting defensive at the article I'm getting defensive at the comments in this thread and also how PS3 people can call biased whenever they damn well pleased but if a 360 person does it they are off their rocker. The double-standard arrogance of the PS3 people on this site is what sets me off.

If Capcom want to make an inferior version on the 360 fine, nobody is going to buy it. I don't want to go back and type all the double-speak PS3 fans talked about this game and totally trashed it because they knew it was multiplatform. Now that a couple Sony fanboys have set you up again THE GAME IS GREAT!

Tools.

[Meus Renaissance]

He agreed that it looks better. But he didn't bring it up as Razor implied. That was the point.

If Shane was spouting things like that, and the other person did not acknowledge him then yes we could ignore it as just bias of his personal opinion, as Razor implied.

But Shane acknowledged that he thought it looked better. He didn't bring it up, and there's a big difference in relation to what we're discussing here. But now Razor, instead of talking about Shane as a fanboy, is now dismissing the OTHER journalist as a Sony fanboy TOO, as he realised that it was him not Shane who made that point about the graphics.

That sounds like desperation to come back and strengthen his original comment. It's failed.

@ Razer. From what they were saying, it seemed like the end result of Capcom starting the game on PS3 hardware and then porting it over to the Xbox 360. They said the X360 version did not look bad, it's not that, there probably isn't much difference - like on the levels we've seen recently with PS3/360 games, but it seems that from a visual point of view atleast, the PS3 version looks a bit better.

Hopefully this is start of something in general when it comes to multiplatform games.

[Sevir04]

the i'm no fanboi and not baised against any particular console thing you are tryig to pull isn't working.

your comment seriously sound like a defence, while you own a ps3 and 360 it's clear in the way you talk that your just a 360 fankid with a ps3. a journalist makes the claim and points out facts about a said build and how it plays adverse to the 360 version and you call them both a fanboy,and then try to maintain this cool level headed speach as if you're no fanboi yourself. if you weren't one, then i doubt that you'd be calling Shane and Bryan both fanbois for stating a simple thing such as which version better. They made note as to which version ran smoother and lacked screen tearing and whole feel of playablity. they never said the 360 version sucks they said it just wasn't as polished as the ps3 version.

it's just funny to see you call your self a none baised person and then see you go a call some one a Sony fanboi when your commenst speak otherwise.

you certainly take a different tone bragging about how the 360 outshines the PS3 in the past and such and have no problems holding that true, but when an editor says something positive about the PS3 you b!tch and whine as if your Pu$$y got raped.

If you're gonna say fanboi stuff, dont be one that in the close it step out and stay true to your roots, at least then people can tolerate you're pointless rants.

you xbox fankid.

[Shaka2K6]

The xbug 360 controler sucks for action games anyways.

[Imalwaysright]

But they rule when it comes to FPS

HAHAHAH Fangirls with the disagrees... no controller is perfect and Ps3 controller has its advantages and disadvantages and so has the 360 controller... The best controller until now imo was the one on N64...

[lawman1108]

I was going to play nice and not bash but the second I see a douche bag like you leave a post all of my good will goes out the window. I love how A$$holes like you have like 5 accounts so when you get shut up you can just pop right back in.

[sonarus]

the same could be said about you lawman you talk a lot of sh!t and here you are still hanging with 3 bubbles

[Fan Tastic]

He'll probably say DMC 1-4 suck, simply because they are better than his poor man's DMC clones, just as he did with his crappy DOA games, lol.

[unlimited]

PS3 controllers is best so yes dmc4 is best on that console.

[Shaka2K6]

When thats all your xbug 360 plays well no wonder.

Ps3 on the other hand has the most confortable controler in the history of gaming, hell it has become the standard for everything gaming this days just look at PC controlers they are all the same shape as the Sony PS3 one, they all know its the best.

[Imalwaysright]

No the Ps3 controller its not the "best" its a matter of opinion. Just because its better for you it doesnt mean that its the "best" for the next guy oh and btw thanks for proving my point

[AshleyRiot]

Devil may Cry 4 looks sweet!!! Big fan of 1(king of the series) and 3. I hope this delivers the same way those did. After this comes out i hope they make Chaos Legion 2.

[power of Green]

I don't think Capcom wants to make an inferior version for 360 it will probable sell about the same overall on both platforms.

The game isn't even done the PS3 version started development first. I guess I have to watch the video. Preference for Dualshock for this type of game is one thing, a game actually having shoddy control scemes vs the PS3 version is another.

#5, wrong! no one cares its not even heated up in here put your popcorn down... Capcom would be foolish to not release an atleast equal quality game as the Xbox platform "may" generate more sales with this title.

Lets wait for release I swear I read somewhere the PS3 version was well on its way before they decided to make the 360 version.

[fopums]

good comment POG, thats all there was to it, the PS3 version is farther along with they build they played on, and chances are they have a better build of the 360 version working its just no one has played it yet. Even still they said both versions look good. the controller business is preference, but a PS2 DMC player will more then likely be better off with the PS3 version, thats just how it works.

[sonarus]

you are right ps development started long before 360. however they postponed ps3 development for 360. The game would have been out by now if not for the 360 version. When the game finally releases we will knw how both look but since ps3 was lead most likely ps3 version will have the edge. Capcom has favored msoft this generation so i wnt accuse them of laziness or neglect.

however the big news is dmc4 lookin better than ninja gaiden lol i suggest we tab screens for both and flip thru them really fast what do you say lol

[Sevir04]

looks like this game will be amazing, i cant wait to play this game seriously the game comes out in Feb along with Lost planet which means a demo for both of the games hit's in the second week of January. count on that, though i've played tthrough LP on the 360 so i dont care for the PS3 edition and i sure as hell wont own it. DMC4 on the other hand will be a sure hit for me. I this is definately encouraging and yes DMC plays well on the ps3 because it's a playstation franchise you can only end up with something not well suited it it goes to anything else. and thats more than i can say for the PC version, cause that one will be horrid playing with a mouse and keep board.

Still this game will be awesome. it looks better than NG2 LOL!!! sigma looks just like NG2 NG2 is just gorier and thats it.

and it seems as if Load times have greatly decreased for this game . it use to have a really bad load time when going through every door good to see their streaming technology is up to par with many other next gen games that have something seemless. Great...

Cant wait for this game, xbox fan will enjoy this treat as Playstation gamers and fans have been enjoying this franchise since 1.

[akaFullMetal]

alot of people are sore that it went multi, wonder how well its going to do, or if people that said they werent going to get the game are now, what hypocrites

[Bombomb]

Ps3 fanboys flip flop and start praising 1up...so predictable they latch on only positive sentences from every site.

can't wait for the honest reviews...to roll in. we'll see if that leads to whining..yet agian

I'm suprised PS3 fanboys even like capcom after all the petitions and fanboys crying and committing suicide for this game going multi...

babies..

[eagle21]

"Can't wait for the honest reviews to roll in"...from where OXM and Gamespot? LOL

[gunnerforlife]

a swear if it actually looks betta on the ps3 theres gone so many sony fanbois coming back to this game lol, not that i ever left XD love this game and a avent even played it:D this game is the reason ive bought a ps3;)

[power of Green]

DMC4 looks hot and I can't wait for it I love well done Hack'n slash games.

If I was a PS fan and never played on any Xbox platforms and happen ro be a advid FPS fan I wouldn't know any better. The Xbox pads being better suited for FPS wouldn't matter.(better controls on a different controller would mean nothing and may not make any difference one way or the other to me).

The only thing that seems different to me is the left thumb stick it too far out of reach on the the 360 controller for some games(and the D-pad suck ass) vs the PS3 pad having a handi-capp being to cramped with its layout with others games(anolog sensitivity is less)

[akumous]

Omg..did you guys see what she did with her blade or where she has it concealed?

[jackdoe]

If it didn't look slightly better on the PS3, there would be something very wrong with the Capcom development process. After all, more development time, the 360 version was started after the PS3 version began and will end development as the same time as the PS3 version, and lead platform status equals better looking. However, these are the same kinds of neglible differences of so many of the other recent batch of multiplatform games that 360 fanboys like to exploit. So I guess in the eyes of some PS3 fanboys, an eye for an eye.

[fe10]

Ninja Gaiden is better. Devil my cry enemies are dumb, just waiting to get killed.

[jackdoe]

Both enemies are dumb. Only NG's are more agressive.

[HarryEtTubMan]

PS3 is King... GET PWNED over and over and over XBOTS

[fe10]

You could died in a matter of seconds in ninja gaiden.

[DevastationEve]

I will buy both games, since I have a 360. I really don't want to miss either anyway. Big fan of both companies, and they just make really good games. One thing though: someone said "it's using a new engine", however the big chinned fellow (Credo, is it?) looks VERY close to Bandero, one of the villains from Lost Planet. I'd day they were almost the same 3D model. So, maybe it's the Lost Planet engine. Which would make the most sense, seeing as how it's the engine they designed to run on the 360. This would make it possible to release the game on both consoles.

[Bastion]

If i hear one more person talk about a game that is 7-10 hours short I'm gonna flip. Not everyone can devote weeks to single games, I enjoy the vareity of games and the option to immerse myself further with other options or other things, but sometimes you just wanna be able to finish a game. Especially in my case, I program games for a living specifially tools development (bit*h work) If games get to the point i can't finish any of them i'll Keeh..ahem beat you all down
