Devil May Cry 4 *Update*

[Nerve-Damage]

2 days late :-p

Devil May Cry 4 (http://1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3145241&did=1)

At this year's Tokyo Game Show, Capcom went the route many companies are going these days and set up a "Next Gen Theater" to show off trailers for its big three upcoming next generation titles: Resident Evil 5, Dead Rising, and Devil May Cry 4. While the RE5 trailer had been shown previously and Dead Rising was also playable on the show floor, the DMC4 trailer was all new and well worth the 30-60 minute wait to see it.

The trailer showcased series hero Dante looking much younger than we've seen him in the past. He walked up to the camera and then started hitting it, knocking it into the air and back onto the ground a few times as the audience watched from the camera's perspective. The trailer gave a good sense of how crazy the action will get this time around, but didn't reveal much about the game itself, so we went to producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi -- best known for his work on Resident Evil 4, Killer 7 and Devil Kings -- to find out more.

Kobayashi's history with the Devil May Cry series goes back quite a bit. He worked on the first game in the series, but moved on to other projects when Devil May Cry 2 and 3 came along. He returned for the fourth game since it made sense for Capcom as a company. "I was on Resident Evil 4 and Devil Kings, and Resident Evil 5 is a totally different person," he says. "So [once RE4 and Devil Kings were finished, I was available], and also one of the company's goals for DMC4 is to get it out as fast as possible. One of the best ways to do that is to get the producer that worked on the original game to work on it because a lot of things that come into play with producing such a project are things that I'm already familiar with."



[For the Tokyo Game Show trailer] Dante's movements and some of that stuff is actually in-game, but some of the special effects are still just things that we had going [for the trailer]."


Development on the game started right around the time that Devil May Cry 3 was complete. "Work started on it right after Devil May Cry 3," says Kobayashi. "I picked some of the members of the Devil May Cry 1 team, as well as some of the Devil May Cry 3 team and just started working on it right after Devil May Cry 3 finished -- on the story and those kinds of things."

Since then, two trailers have been shown for the game -- one seconds-long teaser clip at E3 this year and then a longer teaser video shown at the Tokyo Game Show. Given how early the game is in development, Kobayashi notes that the TGS trailer was not created entirely using in-game footage like the Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer shown at the same show. "It's actually kind of split [between in-game footage and CG]," says Kobayashi. "For example, Dante's movements and some of that stuff is actually in-game, but some of the special effects are still just things that we had going [for the trailer]."

One of the few pieces of information fans gleamed from the trailer is that Dante -- or at least a character that looks like Dante -- looks much younger than what players have been accustomed to from the character over the years. Kobayashi is quick to point out that the character shown in the trailer is Dante, but that is not what his final appearance will look like. "The Dante that you're seeing in the [trailer] is actually not the final Dante," he says. "We're actually designing that character right now; that's not actually going to be the final Dante."

Part of the reason for Kobayashi's quick clarification on that issue is to diffuse talk that the game will take place at a time when Dante was a lot younger. The story dates haven't been set, but Kobayashi says, "I feel I want [Devil May Cry] 4 to take place at least after [Devil May Cry] 1, but the story is still something we're working on."

One thing that he is certain of is that the game will not be as challenging as the recently released Devil May Cry 3. After Devil May Cry 2 was released and many players complained that it was too easy, Devil May Cry 3 came along and players complained it was too hard. For Devil May Cry 4, Kobayashi wants to get the difficulty just right. "I've only been involved with DMC 1, but I've seen DMC 3...and everything that went into the game, and I always hear talk about how difficult it was and how it was set too difficult, and that is one of the things that I do want to make sure to address properly in Devil May Cry 4."

That said, the team is planning to keep a lot of what made DMC3 good. "We are using DMC3 as the base," he says. "What we're doing right now is we're looking at it and trying to figure what we should keep from it and what should throw away and make from scratch again -- trying to figure out what to keep and what to throw away."

http://1up.com/media?id=2324475&type=lg

And that's the big question at this point -- how different will DMC4 be from previous games in the series? Given that it's one of the first games to be announced for PlayStation 3, and how non-traditional Kobayashi's games like Killer 7 and Resident Evil 4 have been, it seems logical that the team may want to reinvent some key aspect of the series. But Kobayashi says it will probably be a bit more traditional than those other games. "Compared to Killer 7 and Resident Evil 4 and those huge changes that we made, I don't plan on making any huge changes with this one. Of course, the next gen will enter into it, but I want to keep some of the themes of Devil May Cry and keep it going, so it'll be more of a traditional sequel than an entirely new game."

Head over to our media page to check out a sample selection of screens taken from the E3 and TGS trailers for the game, while we wait for further news on the release date, gameplay mechanics and more. Even though the TGS trailer may not have been created entirely using real time assets, it's still enough to get us excited for the first non-PS2 Devil May Cry.


WOW!! So thats an actual in-game PS3 render of Dante =-o

[archash]

brilliant!!! DMC1 original producer + DMC1 & DMC3 staff + DMC3 gameplay mechanics = killer DMC4!!!

[Z]

I think the added FX that aren't in-game were done because they were short on time for TGS. this is what happened with Gundam. the smoke, shadows and other small detailes were added to the in-game for E3. in any case, if MGS4 looks that damn good, my hopes are risen very high for all games in general.

about Dante's face: they said so for a while now that this is only a mock-up to test the visuals and what not. the reason why the actual face-to-be wasn't use is because, as was said here- they haven't pinned down the story yet. thus you can have a young dante like the last game (hate that stupid look) or a mature Dante like in 1 & 2 (just LOVE that face design). I hope they go with the latter, and I hope the story continues. no more retro-play, please!

as for the difficulty: I think 1 was the most balanced. also, they can use the system that was introduced in the first game which measures you gameplay and automatically adjusts the difficulty accordingly. that and having a ssimple option of chosing your own dificulty will solve any complaints.

[Illmatic]

I thought i'd post a link to the other thread so that some of the ideas/discussion doesn't get lost.

[rpgamer_2k5]

I wasn't wrong after all, DMC3 is a hard game. Even if DMC4 was difficult, I will still purchase the game. Right now, I need to purchase the original.

Looking good. :)

[CrumCon]

sorry to say but, even using beta SDK ps3 game looks so gorgeous compared to x360 games built on final SDK.

imagine when they starting using the reently shipped SDK.

[TEEDA]

Here are the concept arts ,taken from the last TGS famitsu scans ,used to design the characters.
http://x7.putfile.com/10/27706494572.jpg

But the game if it takes place after DMC 1 ,in DMC 1 Dante beat Nel Angelo ( Vergil FInal Devil trigger form seen in DMC 3.5 special edition).I wonder if we will see Lady again or Trish or even Vergil in his human form.

[Killing Moon]

It looks good, but to be honest, I'm not all that excited. God of War literally spoiled me for action-adventure games and DMC3 just wan't up to snuff after playing it. It wasn't bad, but really annoying in a junior high school type of way and in comparison, just felt average, with excessively unecessary combos.

I seriously doubt that they'll take any lessons from Jaffe's work. But in any case, at least we're guaranteed a sequel to GoW if all else fails.

[Domination]

I thought everyone knew this already. It was mentioned in another interview. This one only goes into more detail.

Why do you think it's such a big fuss amongst many fans and hardcore fanboys? The things we are seeing for the PS3 are looking so well beyond what many expected that some are having no choice but to write them off as pre-rendered. To them, it is the only logically explanation. It's like I tried to say before, people only targetted the non-playable demos that looked similiar to current gen titles or those running on the 360 rather than those that didn't, which is most likely the reason we are getting many responses about the these two console being equal or what not.

The first thing you hear when these things come up is Gears of War. I personally think Gears of War is a great looking game - especially since the release of the close-to-final version, but comparing it to some of the things I am seeing in these PS3 demos, I would be outright lying if I didn't tell you that they look and move much more superior. And to make it all the more baffling, it still seems to be setting outside of the actual hardware.

[Z]

DMC head said that a female appearence is important to "show off how cool Dante is", so you can bet on a new chick. I think she will be new since everygame had a different chick. why re-use them if you can bring in new blood, right? (talking purely about game development and marketing here ;)

[Nodieza]

Those concept drawings look sweet. I didn't like God Of War as much, it was a great game though. I enjoyed the difficulty of DMC 3 and the fighting system although I get fed up with games easily I kept on coming back to DMC 3.

[Effulgence]

I remember when DMC1 came out and you could switch between shotgun and sword to hit them up in the air then pump them full of lead til they were dead. Badass.

Now, with actual graphics, it should be a real treat.

[Crinx]

DMC3 is the pinnacle of action gaming; I expect even more from DMC4.

[TEEDA]

The storyline will take after DMC 1... I hope the Gameplay will be a mixte of DMC 3 but with more combos to perform, it would be good too if they copied a little bit on " the matrix path of neo " combat system so that you can attack multiple ennemies at once to chain a large numbers of combos.
thanx to the power of the PS3 i hope there 's going to be a large number of ennemies at once to kill ( imagine twenty or thirty bad guyz to kick ass at once ".
I d like to see the Devil Trigger system from DMC 1 back with Alastor and Ifrit.
and i hope capcom will make a very good design concerning the ennemies and giant bosses.
And oh please, i want blood back on this forth opus coz the sand effect was cool but i prefered the blood effect from DMC 1 even if it wasn' t really realistic.
Wow and i hope they will put lots of effects with the kind of breaking camera like in the Teaser demonstration.

[VG Aficionado]

Hmmm, do you DMC fans think that the next game featuring Dante should be titled "Devil May Cry 4"?

As far as I know, events in DMC4 (tentative title?) will take place after DMC1 events (the young Dante in those teaser trailers was actually a technical demo, Dante won't look that young or exactly that style). So, IMO, the next game featuring Dante should be titled Devil(s) Never Cry (those of you who have finished DMC1 know what I'm talking about). Also, a new title rather than a generic sequel title would mean it is the beginning of a new generation, trilogy or whatever.

[TEEDA]

Yeah , but Devil May Cry is a franchise, so it must keep the same name but with a subname like DMC 3 : dante's awakening.
DMC 4 is the beginning of a new DMC saga and actually it' s going to be a trilogy like the 3 first DMCs.
so PS2 = DMC 1 , 2 , 3 .
PS3 = maybe DMC 4 , 5, 6 +
it would be amazing if they push further more the gameplay with a coop system , like DMC 3 during the Vergil/Dante coop or when you used the doppleganger style.
It could be really nice if they put a split screen coop mode.
:)

[Z]

the reason why they didn't show Dante's real face is that the story timeline is still undecided. they may continue with the young Dante (turn off) or get back to da man!(me want. me want).

mhmm actually in the article kobayashi says that it will take place after Devil May Cry 1 :twitch:.
And they are working on a new Dante close to the one from DMC 1 and DMC 2 with long hair like in the first teaser from the E3 :yum: .

[NeoPlayStation]

I can't find a Direct Feed Version for DMC4 trailer from TGS. Just a CAM version with poor quality (1up). Is there a DF or good quality version for this trailer?

[Handycrap101]

Only vids I could find are these...
http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/748/748464/vids_1.html

Nothing from TGS, try game trailers.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

try gametrailers.com.

I like the older more chiseled dante as well. I definitely can't wait for this game. God of War is awesome but you can't tell me it didn't take a lot of things from DMC as derivatives. The combos, leveling up with orbs from fallen enemies to purchase specific moves and items at your choosing - just like DMC. I like both games equally, but they aren't the same. GOW definitely has DMC in the voice acting/story telling department tho. Haha...ohhh capcom. "This partie gettin crazaaay! Let's rock!"
I love DMC's over-the-top presentation tho. Can't be beat.

[julps31]

I don't think the TGS vid was officially released to the public. So we probably will just have to wait. Or maybe it'll be on this Tokyo Access dvd i'm getting.

Sorry to disappoint but its not on there... at least not on my copy.

That video is amazing. But I think Dante's face needs a little make-over. His eyes look a little akward.

[VG Aficionado]

That video is amazing. But I think Dante's face needs a little make-over. His eyes look a little akward.The Dante model in that teaser trailer is not the definitive one. In that teaser you see a young Dante following DMC3 timeline, while DMC4 events will take place after DMC1 events. DMC4 will feature an slightly older Dante than the one in the first DMC game, so he won't have the same appearance as the one in that teaser.

[julps31]

Sorry to disappoint but its not on there... at least not on my copy.Well we can't have everthing lol. Thanks for suggesting those dvds man. Can't wait to see the hi-quality version of the MGS show. I'm downloading the vid right now. *watching video* Wow. This is beatuifal. He looks kinda scary (the way he walks to the camera in slow mo) in a good way though. Dantes does look a lil bug eyed though lol. If this is what the in-game character models gonna look like where in for a treat. Love his coat and the way it moves. CES can't get here soon enough.

And didn't DMC take that from Onimusha?

[LaLiLuLeLo]

you can't really call it stealing when the same company made it :-/

edit: hell, devil may cry was conceived out of a bug in onimusha (that got ironed out in the final build of course): when you swung samanosuke's sword sometimes the enemy would float into the air and thus be 'juggled' by samanosuke's slashes- and so Devil May Cry was born.

[Junox50]

And didn't DMC take that from Onimusha?

It shouldnt matter. They were made by the same company

[chrismt]

Hmmm I was under the assumption that the DMC series was born as a side project spawned from the development of RE4.

[axia777]

Hmmm I was under the assumption that the DMC series was born as a side project spawned from the development of RE4.

It was RE, but not specifically 4. I think they are talking about the publisher, in this case Capcom.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Hmmm I was under the assumption that the DMC series was born as a side project spawned from the development of ONIMUSHA.

fixed. please see my post above. cripes.

[chrismt]

haha I've never seen anyone fix a post like that. I read your post, but I was saying that I thought it was born from the development of RE not Onimusha. Maybe it was a combination of both. And on a side note, I realllllly don't like the way older Dante looks, I guess because they changed his facial structure, from his previously chiseled appearance.

[Illmatic]

That specific move (air juggle) could have come from Onimusha, but the actual concept for DMC was born from Capcom experimenting some gameplay mechanics for their next RE.

[Voidler]

Can someone reupload that trailer? Or if a direct-feed version has come out since, it'd be much appreciated :)

[Illmatic]

There's no direct feed version available, i've re-uploaded the same trailer here (http://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2XX2DZMZ3SEXJ2AKKQVN8T6NKC)

[GTShotoKen]

It shouldnt matter. They were made by the same company

But different dev teams right?

I'm just trying to make a little point that no game is truly original. Every game has features that are evolved from previous ideas.

Even if Onimusha and DMC were produced under the same company doesn't really gloss over the fact that dev teams are evolving on previous ideas.

This doesn't sound like a rant does it? http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/sad/1431.gif

Well anyways, I hope DMC4 will see the big introduction of completely destructible environments. Wouldn't it be cool to have Dante unleash his Devil Trigger on a Mass of Demons and destroy everything in the process.

It would also be cool if they add the ability to use opjects in the environment to quickly attack a mass of ememies. Imagine using a weapon suchas Ifrit and pulling off a huge chain combo; you see a huge pool while doing the combo, pick it up and start wailing away.

A boss fight even more spectacular than the one against Mundus would be a plus too.

New Infos again from gamefront (http://www.gamefront.de)

German:


Neue Infos zu Devil May Cry 4

16.01.06 - Hier sind neue Details zu Capcoms Devil May Cry 4 Click Picture aus der Sonderausgabe 'Famitsu Capcom Vol. 2' (Danke an VJdante).

- Dante beherrscht mehr Manöver als in Devil May Cry 1, 2 und 3.

- Produzent Hiroyuki Kobayashi kennt die Grenzen der PlayStation3 nicht. Doch die Qualität der Echtzeitgrafik soll mindestens auf der Stufe liegen, die im Material auf der Tokyo Game Show und E3 zu sehen war.

- Ursprünglich wollte Kobayashi Devil May Cry 4 leichter machen. Doch die Fans äußerten Bedenken, dass sich so etwas wie Devil May Cry 2 wiederholen könnte. Deshalb hat Kobayashi seine Prioritäten geändert: Anstatt das gesamte Spiel leichter zu machen, will er jetzt die Steuerung vereinfachen.

Die Steuerung hätte die Leute in Devil May Cry 3 Click Picture schnell ermüden lassen. Doch man soll sich beim spielen wohlfühlen, während die Spielmechanik auf demselben Niveau liegen soll. Welche Änderungen er steuerungstechnisch vornehmen will, sagt er nicht.

- Director Hideaki Itsuno sagt, dass der vierte Teil wie eine stark aufgemotzte Version von Devil May Cry 3 ist.

- Wenn man das nächste Mal was Neues zu Devil May Cry 4 Click Picture sieht, wird man laut Itsuno wohl schon den endgültigen Dante in Echtzeit sehen. Sein Äußeres ist bereits entschieden, er soll u.a. cooler und älter aussehen.

- Das Spiel soll nur für die PlayStation3 erscheinen, Umsetzungen für Revolution oder Xbox 360 sind nicht vorgesehen.


English


New Devil May Cry 4 Info

16.01.06 - Here are some new details for Capcoms Devil May Cry 4 from "Famitsu Capcom Vol. 2" specialissue:

- Dante has more moves than in Devil May Cry 1, 2 and 3.

- Producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi doesn't know the limitations of the Playstation 3. However, the quality of realtimegraphics are going to be at least on par with the material shown at E3 and TGS.

- He wanted to make DMC4 easier. However, fans had concerns that something like DMC2 might happen again. So Kobayashi changed his prioritys: instead of making to whole game easier, he is going to make the controls easier but he doesn't mention the changes.

- Director Hideaki Itsuno says that DMC4 is a heavily pimped/flossy (?) [didn't find the right word] version of DMC3.

- The next time we see something from DMC4 we are going to see the final Dante in realtime. His appearance is already decided. He looks a lot cooler and older.

- The game is only released on PS3. There's no Revolution or Xbox 360 version planned.


I really hope you can understand at least some details I translated. (my english is very rusted)

[Carn]

hmm..from what I remember aufgemotzt is something like "expanded, elaborated".

[VG Aficionado]

Nice tidbit of news, thank you Warmachine! :thumbl:

[Tael]

Thanks for the info. :)

Always appreciated Warmachine!:Carrot:

[Illmatic]

Cheers for the new info Warmachine.

So Kobayashi changed his prioritys: instead of making to whole game easier, he is going to make the controls easier but he doesn't mention the changes.

And also this quote too, from an article from IGN (http://ps3.ign.com/articles/655/655493p1.html) a while ago:

Kobayashi states that he and his development staff are planning some big changes for the series, although specifics are currently being kept under wraps at Capcom's Osaka development studio.

From the quotes above i still think they're changing the camera to make it controllable, the quotes make it seem more likely in my eyes coupled with the TGS trailer, where Dante takes a disliking to the camera and beats the shit out of it, then everything is displayed in color ;)

[Sephiroth_VII]

This is in english, and reveals a little more info (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/r/?page=http://www.computerandvideogames.com/news/news_story.php(que)id=132583):
Here's a true story: we borrowed a copy of the original PS2 Devil May Cry from a friend once - and played it as far as the first boss and got so utterly humiliated by the fact that we couldn't get passed it that we've comfortably repressed all thoughts of the game so far back in our heads that we're more or less at the point where we can pretend that the series never existed in the first place.

Apart from, that is, the fact that DMC producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi has revealed more info on the PS3 Devil May Cry 4, meaning all that hard work's about to unravel around our ears.

Speaking to Famitsu Capcom Vol. 2, Kobayashi bared his teeth and gnawed down on the bone of tantilisation, sharing more information on the new look Dante for the upcoming next-gen iteration of the series. As previously stated, the youthful Dante model used in the TGS demo for DMC4 wasn't indicative of the character's final look. Kobayashi reveals that, similar to Solid Snake's re-imagining in MGS4, Dante will be much older, more stylish and - get this - have a beard! Hooray for beards!





While DMC3 was renowned for its blistering difficulty level, Kobayashi also confirmed that - despite initial plans - the fourth iteration of the game won't be any easier. He explained that while he began development intending to lessen the challenge, he realised the decision would be unpopular with series fans. Instead, the development team is concentrating on making the title "easier to control" and simpler to "get into". Also on the subject of game difficulty, series director Hideaki Itsuno chimed in, ominously stating that "there is no turning back now".

If you can battle your way through DMC4's eye-watering difficulty level though, you'll apparently discover far more "game" this time around. According to Kobayashi, the next-gen follow-up will feature more enemies, bosses, weapons, locations and so on than the first three games combined. Our official response: blimey.

Finally, touching on the staggering impression the stunning TGS demo made on fans, thanks to the blinding levels of graphical pizzazz, the producer confirms that DMC4 will look at least as good as the demo, running in real-time. Although the Kobayashi was unable to give a time-frame for the game's completion, he did make assurances that when DMC4 next surfaces, it will be in fully-playable form. Yippee!
Dante with a beard, lol.

P.S. Could you please re-upload the trailer Venjita? Thanks in advance.

[OmniCloud]

Can't wait for this one...Hopefully it comes out at the end of 06...

[OmniCloud]

oh yea...Great find Sephiroth_Vll

I would like to see Dante with a beard. Not a full one, but moustache + chin beard.

Anyway, I'm sure multiple appearances will be available, to be unlocked as always.

[Handycrap101]

Dante looks pretty badass in those scans. I haven DMC1 and 3 but have yet to play them... I heard they were awesome. I just haven't got around to playing them because I have so many other games I need to take care of... But I think I will deffinitly bump it up on my play list.

[TEEDA]

Well the' special edition of DMC 3 will be released in few days , january 23 for 20 $ and you will be able to play an extra character , Vergil , so i suggest you to wait for this one.

[Junox50]

This is great. I'm not very fond of Dante having a beard, but its no biggy. I'm glad their not toning down the difficulty, because that would suck. Can't wait till this game is done and we get to play it.

[VG Aficionado]

Dante looks great in those scans. I wonder whether while they make the controls more simple than before, if they would include a controller configuration optional scheme for DMC fans which works just like the current schemes.

Handy, go play DMC1 and DMC3 later. Now!

[Junox50]

I hope they fix that one problem I had with DMC 3 with the controls. Since they added more commands, the game won't allow you to proceed unless you have all the inputs mapped to each button. Devil Trigger and targetting were the last two commands I had to map and I didnt have anywhere to put them. I had to map them to buttons that felt uncomfortable for me to press when battling enemies. Devil Trigger was mapped to L3, so everytime I try to run or do an attack that requires me to press the analog stick, I go into Devil Trigger mode by accident. Its so frustrating.

[Domination]

+ rep for the update, guys. It sounds like DMC4 is coming along quite nicely.

P.S. Could you please re-upload the trailer Venjita? Thanks in advance.Nice post man. +Rep to you and Teeda. I'm very excited to see the final version of this game...especially since there saying it will look as good if not better than the TGS trailer. And I still have the TGS vid. I'll upload it in a minute

And I think older Dante would look bad ass with a beard. Plus I love the concept art. That coat is nice and I think they'll get the face right. If it does look like the TGS trailer...this game is gonna be crazy lol.

[Danji]

No julps31, you don't understand. If it does look like the TGS trailer then "This is gonna be one hell of a party!"

[TEEDA]

Looks like they kept Dante's hairstyle like from DMC3 and mix with Dant's eyes from DMC2.
I hope they will keep Dante's Sword from DMC1.

[julps31]

No julps31, you don't understand. If it does look like the TGS trailer then "This is gonna be one hell of a party!"Lol...True. I can't wait to see the first actual screens. I'm excited about what a PS3 DMC will be like. Especially with these visuals.

Okay. Heres a link to the TGS video:

I hope they will keep Dante's Sword from DMC1.The Force Edge appears in both E3 teaser and TGS teaser, so I'd say it will appear in DMC4 too.

I don't think any of those scans show a too close design to Dante's final design for DMC4. Can't wait to see it!

[Sephiroth_VII]

If Dante's design isn't final, then what are the chances of his sword being final?

[TEEDA]

The Force Edge appears in both E3 teaser and TGS teaser, so I'd say it will appear in DMC4 too.

I don't think any of those scans show a too close design to Dante's final design for DMC4. Can't wait to see it!

Are you sure ?
it's seems to me they kept the Rebellion Sword from DMC3 on both Teasers, the sword with the skullface on it and the spikes.

Well here's a bigger pic of Dante's actual design i took from the scan

Yeah A little bit confusing lol
In DMC 3 **spoiler**[[ Vergil keeps the Force Edge]]
So maybe DMC 4 will be a sequel to DMC 3 and not DMC 1 or 2.
or Maybe it will be a new kind of Story like the new Batman series....well confusing but I think we should not refer to what we saw on the teasers coz there were just technical demos.
And well on one of those scans Dante's outfit could maybe be linked to the first teaser were we saw the castle...the location could be somewhre with lots of snow looking at dante's first outfit design.

the important thing for me is that he looks older, cooler, more experienced and Hell of a more demon ass kicker!!

I wonder how he'll look with a beard.

This is not true, DMC4 has been confirmed to be PS3 exlcuisve TWICE.

We know, shagawi, but thanks to remind people once again.

Devil May Cry 4 is only for PS3, just like it is stated in the TGS 2005 teaser.

That article was stupid. What the heck is with all these sites trying to state a PS3 game is coming to Xbox 360? They sure seem overly obsessed. First MGS4, and now DMC4. What's next Tekken 6? Heavenly Sword? I know that won't happen, I'm just asking how pathetic can these people be.

[TEEDA]

yeah true those titles like DMC 4 and MGS 4 were announced to be exclusive , but devs never say if it's a temporary exclusivity or or definitive exclusivity.
As for DMC 4 Kojima said it , it will be a definitive coz the game is made to push the PS3 at its best for the first generation title they' re making.
As for DMC 4 Capcom said it , but you never know, an exclusive title can be exclusive only for few months....that ' s why it s confusing and when you see the new capcom video games politic on multiplateform you never know , but way no rush , Don t mind if they come first on PS3. :-p
And if you notice now, i m not trolling , but most of Xbox games ( wich was the most powerful console of this generation) were ported on PS2 ex : ( full spectrum warriors , Malice ).
So think about if any Ps3 titles ( not first party ) could be ported on other consoles ( sseing from the specs that Ps3 is the most powerful console for this next gen).
How would you feel about that ? downgraded graphics for other consoles ? but with bonus like extra levels , characters ? (ex RE4 ).
I don't know if you understand what I mean.

I agree with TEEDA.

from a marketing perspective, it would be important for Sony to try and keep any porting info away at least untill the games launch on PS3. after that, they publisher can announce another platform port. or else, what is the use of using the big fat EXCLUSIVE logo on a game cover?
think about what RE4 did to Cube. it boosted sales. heck, some only got a Cube when RE moved to it. if everybody knew RE4 would comeout on PS2, with extras no less, not as many would have gone loco and bought another system exclusively for that reason. but that is what 'exclusives' are all about; shifting focus.

having said that, although anything is possible I doubt we will see major PS2 franchises going to another platform out of the blue. MGS had a Box shot, that is why people are discussing a MGS4 port. that and Kojima's comments that X2 can handle it more or less. techncial specs doesn't have anything to do with it. a port could be made no matter how ugly it looks. look at Burnout from Box to DS. heck, SOCOM and R&C are on mobiles now. X2 is seeing pritty ugly (current) games like GUN and some sports but that didn't stop porting.

having said that, I didn't see a RR X2 port coming- not to mention SH for Box and GTA:LCS for PS2. but when you think about it, it isn't that far fetched. you only need to look at SC's interesting history to see how things can go.

in the end, I have to say that personally, I really don't care if a game is exclusive or not as long as I can play it on my system of choice. if there are more titles that I really want on other systems, it is time to concider a new purchase. :)
