considering while it was still exclusive to ps3 they annouced 1080p and 60fps as we all know 360 can't do that so it my eye brow is raised at the 360.

Cancel a preorder because it's 640p? That's crazy man!! Tell me, how often do you think you guys will be griping about the resolution ingame. I'll tell you, none!! If there were a problem with the framerate then THAT would be an issue. Since DMC has some frame dependant moves, hitches would make the game broken. So far none of that has come up so all is still good, 640p or not.

i hate that you can no longer edit your posts. i actually meant to say 360 can't do 1080p and 60fps at the same time as of yet. No 360 game has done it and ps3 have games that have. And capcom did say ps3 would have 1080p and 60fps so... all my comments were factual didnt say anything more or less. before ppl start reporting me 4 spam or sumthin

I think DMC4 still looks freakin amazing. And did anyone actually read the article? It was poorly written. I could've done that. I think this is bull. I'll wait for a better source

I wonder on which resoulution will be new Ninja Gaiden.

i think the new one has been confirmed to run at 720p and 60fps. But could suprise us again and run at 640p. Ninja gaiden 2 is one of the few xbox titles am looking forward too. From a gameplay perspective i could care less about the games resolution as long as it looks good but from a technical standpoint if the 360 jst keeps coughing up 640p resolution it definetly does make them the weaker system. in fact less than standard resoltion has been something to expect from most 360 games exclusive and multiplat

The average gamer doesn't give a rat's ass about the final resolution as long as it looks good in the final release. I downloaded the PS3 demo and it looked great in HD. I don't care if it's not true 1080p. All I care about is that it performs well and the controls are solid.

Once again agreeds all round because who cares? In a blind test, very few people would notice and/or be able to tell the difference. Play the game and have fun!

i played the demo and it looked uber sweet, if i didn't read this i wouldn't have known it was less than 720p. it surely isn't Uncharted crisp but it still looks amazing and PLAYS amazingly.

i hope today zooms by so i can pick up my copy tmrw and game on

"NICE GOING, Sony and M$! Making consoles that can’t handle stable 60FPS at 1080p. I HATE YOU ALL *smashes head into wall*"

How about blaming M$ and Capcom for making this game Multiplaform? you know this game would run at 720p, hell even at 1080p if it was PS3 exclusive, but since they made it multiplatform, they had to make the game to run for the lowest common denominator, which was the xbox 360, although it was built on PS3 hardware first. Capcom wanted this game to run equal to both system, thus degrading the PS3 version for no reason. please dont give me that BS (ex. OH THE GAME IS TOO POWERFUL TO RUN ON PS3,) look at KZ2 and Uncharted confirmed to be running at 720p, oh wait, and Ninja Gaiden Sigma which is basically the same Hack and slash game that DMC is, running at 60fps at 1080p running exclusively at PS3 hardware , nuff said.

Im getting this game though, cause Im a fan of DMC, but this mediocrity has to stop

I'll not cancel my pre-order because this is a great game in both xbox 360 and PS3, you don't have to see the game for it's graphics and see it for it's gameplay and story.

3.2 - in this day and age... graphic resolutions arent even the things any more
while this is a bit disapointing to here, i feel the playablity is whats more important. and if you take te N4G fankid googles off you'd notice that this game plays well, and looks great. secondly only fankids really care about resolution. the average gamer wont even notice... and number 3

it seems games are being gimped this generation... Sony raised the abr and MS lowered it. i remembered when capcom announced that DMC4 was going to support 1080p at 60fps, and that was right after Team Ninja came out bragging about how NGS supported it on PS3...

Had this game stayed exclusive i think at minimum it would have had 720p standard...

So we can add DMC4 to the list of games like Skate, tony hawks proving ground, Halo 3, PGR3, and COD3 and cod4. man that bad...

Either way though That never stopped me from playing the hell out of my COD4 and skate and it certainly wont stop me from playing playing version that i deam better, Being The PS3 especially because it's made for this console first. with that.. i'll look past that 640p because it looks spectacular, Not Uncharted Good but it looks great. I cant wait to play at all... Feb 6th cant come any sooner.

4.4 - Yeah... Look at what happened to Halo 3
I mean, considering it only broke world record sales previously set by Halo 2.... I'm sure Microsoft recognizes their mistakes and will never make them again. Shame on them releasing a game in 640p. SHAME! How dare they sell well with that kind of low-end specification.

Anyways... I'd like to see the person who would prefer to play Crysis in 1920*1080 with the settings on medium instead of at 1024*640 with settings on very high.

Sorry guys, but a decent frame rate, some nice effects, and even a little anti-aliasing go a much longer way that brute force resolution. Drop your dreams of 1080p, it's just a number, and 99.9% of you would NEVER KNOW that every game you play doesn't fill the full specification if the developers or publishers didn't release the facts.

You all complain about it being gimped, then how about you track down this 1080p version that obviously exists because of the Microsoft conspiracy that stops Sony games from being good. If you ran the game in 1080p the visual effects and frame rate would suffer, and in games like DMC4 a CONSISTENTLY HIGH frame rate is a REQUIREMENT. You will NEVER notices the drop in resolution, but you will ALWAYS see a frame rate drop.

I don't even have to get into how 90% of 1080p HDTV owners wasted money on a resolution they'll never notices because of things like view distance. Please people, spend more time choosing the display that's right for you, not the display that has the highest number and is officially endorsed by companies like Sony that want to sell you these TVs at a premium.

You guys and your silly 640p comments. COD4 runs lower than Halo 3 and has the best graphics in any console game, PERIOD!

Silly guys! :)

but you and zambrota should move all the 'Sorry but you lose....I win :)' stuff to the tab on the right and yes uncharted is the best graphics seen on a console thus far. It'll be interesting to see what NG2 natively runs at, I wonder cause if sigma was a first attempt on new 'hard to program for' hardware and managed 1080p then it should be a snip on the 'easy to program for' 360.

Didn't require 720p or 1080p for the demo and it played just fine, that's all I really care about when it comes to DMC.

10 - This is what begging for 60 fps gets you
All I have to say is, lol to all the dumb fanboys who are begging for 60 fps minimum in this and other games, because this is what you get as a result. When people force developers to run at 60 fps, you get worser, downgraded graphics/effects, and lower resolutions, as they try to unnaturally shoe-horn the game into running at a totally unnecessary framerate limitation.

Yes, I totally agree. UT3 runs sustained 30fps and is the fastest shooter on consoles so far. As long as they can lock 30fps all is good and well.

OTHO, you guys are aware, the R&C runs 704p @ 60fps and the only reason why R1 is 720p is, because it was to late to make it into the production version. Guess what R2 will run at.

"OTHO, you guys are aware, the R&C runs 704p @ 60fps"

No it doesn't. Stop spreading crap.

R&C on the PS3 runs at 720p - exactly 1280x720 pixel framebuffer.

Trying to use the standard overscan region that almost every game confines their active drawing area from to to claim a game is running at a lower rez is just pathetic.
