Capcom: Making Devil May Cry 4 for PS3 Was Tricky

Capcom did a fine job handling the multi-platform Devil May Cry 4. You know, making sure all versions looked the same. But was that easy? Producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi explains.

No doubt. If RE5 requires a freakin' 5gig download to run, I will *definately* be buying the 360 version. Rumor has GTA IV is requiring an "install" to run on PS3... what is up Sony ?

of course they will. It's a big game and PS3 should have a pretty healthy user base by then.

Please explain to me what does Sony have to do with third party games?

Sony seems to be doing pretty good regardless of your complaints with some 3rd party companies requiring installs. Personally I don' base purchases on whether or not there is an install. I purchase them based on final product value. To say you are going to purchase a game before we know anything about it based on a possible install speaks volumes.

"Please explain to me what does Sony have to do with third party games?"

"Hiroyuki Kobayashi explains:

The Xbox 360 and the PC are close in structure, so it was easy to switch over. The PS3, the CPU and the design are unique... our programmer is extremely talented, and was able to figure it out. I think after repeated meetings with Sony that we were able to tap into the PS3."

"repeated meetings" means they have something to do with third party developers and their games.

2 - it should all come together
it's seems to be less and less of a problem. I mean compare what the original Rainbow Six Vegas looked like on PS3 compared to part 2.

Well now that they know how the insides work it'll just be that much easier to make a game for the PS3.

this is what we hope for. It seems like some dev's just don't get it. I'm starting to think Ubi won't ever get it. I know EA will never get it. Valve doesn't even want to try lol.

The fault lies within their pc engine. It uses DirectX libraries and I think thats what the installation was for on the PS3. To install those drivers to run the game.

The BS about loading was nothing but BS. Think about it, why force the installation?

5 - dmc4
has butifull graphics. the game is a bit repetive but that dosent change a bit. the game is a 8.9- 9.3 in my book.

I think that RE5 will do better becous the devs is learning how to use the power of the ps3.

Thank you CAPCOM For gimping DMC4 due to DVD9 with more then 90% Recyled content. Its one of the worse DMC ever.

6.1 - I STIL DONT
understand how they gimped DMC4 because of dvd9. When it was a ps3 exclusive they game looked graphically the same as when they put on 360.

When it was still a ps3 exclusive they game even looked quite bad.

And how can you say its shorter because of dvd9. Uncharted is on bluray and is only 7 hours long , 10 hours if you only got a left hand , lets not even talk about Hsword

I cant believe you people are still pissed off because dmc4 went muitiplat

Anyway its a good thing becausee you cant be sure Capcom arnet ever making another ps3 exclusive as long as the 360 has a bigger install base , Im very happy since Capcom makes quality games.

Blu ray has nothing to with the Length of the game. Thats up to the developers. Did Super Mario(SNES)or any other lenghty game use Blu-ray? no.

Wat Blu-ray offers, is making making higher quality games. Something the 360 will never have compared to the PS3 exclusives. JUst look at Halo.

DMC4 has 20 missions with huge amount of recycled content. 10 with nero and then 10 with Dante. With both having the same bosses. Could this be because of the DVD9?? or because of Lazy develpors? We will never know...unless DMC5 is a PS3 Exclusive.

Im not trying to flame on the 360, but DVD9 puts out a strong argument aganist the quality of the games.

8 - I guess that would explain the PS3's inferior version
Heck, I guess that would explain 98% of "all" inferior multiplatform games on the PS3. Well... that or the PS3 is an inferior platform to design on. One or two devs get it right here and there, but they have to spend months to a year extra just to get it right.

Just because something is new and hard doesn't mean it'll be bad forever. At least that's what I hope.

The PS3 reminds me of the PS2 in terms of development. These quotes from developers sound like dejavu and since we all know how the PS2 sold and is selling so well despite it’s difficult learning curve for developers, I guess we could say that the PS3 will also sell well since it seems to be following suit with it’s predecessor. You fail at these arguments little one, perhaps if you didn’t wear your insecurities on your sleeve, or in this case, in your user name (*cough* 360 *cough*) you might actually be a better contender in the discussions.

8.4 - Yeah, you're right...
instead of building the game from scratch to take advantage of the system's strength, they just port the 360 version onto it.

In my opinion, that's the only thing that would make it "inferior." And yet, I still think it's hella fun...

And what is with all this installing before playing? I'm really sorry for the 20gb PS3 owners...I know they could easy go out and buy a bigger HDD, but I guest they don't care.

It must really be annoying when you want to take your DMC4 copy to a friend's house and you have to wait 20 min to play.

HAHA the funny thing is Capcom is like the only Company that has Installs for the PS3.. No game I own has it.. Capcom is just stupid and doesnt know what its doing...If im not mistaken hasnt all PS systems been difficult to dev for in the begining and then 2 years and beyond you start seeing a HUGE Jump in graphics and gameplay.. I mean I could be wrong but Sony seems to be following a familiar path... a path that usually leads to victory...
