CAPCOM®'S DEVIL MAY CRY® 4 EXPLODING ONTO MULTIPLE PLATFORMS
The Next Generation of Capcom's Smash Hit Action Franchise Comes to Next Generation Systems, PC

SAN MATEO, Calif -- March 19, 2007 -- Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that the highly anticipated Devil May Cry® 4, already in development for Sony Computer Entertainment's PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™), is now also in development for Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and for PC. Each version of the game will be maximized to take advantage of the systems' strengths, leading to a breath-taking visual and gameplay experience. Devil May Cry 4 will be released simultaneously for the PS3 and Xbox 360 system.

"Capcom is committed to making its titles available to as wide an audience as possible, and has been building its technology base to meet that goal," said Mark Beaumont, executive vice president, officer and head of Capcom consumer software publishing in the Americas and Europe. "This announcement means that PS3, Xbox 360 and PC owners worldwide will be able to experience the latest installment of one of Capcom's pillar franchises."

From the producer of the original Devil May Cry® and Resident Evil® 4 comes the next installment in the hugely successful stylized action series that has so far achieved global sales of nearly seven million units. Devil May Cry 4 immerses gamers in a gothic supernatural world, where a new protagonist clashes with a familiar hero. As the new leading man, Nero, players will unleash incredible attacks and non-stop combos using a unique new gameplay mechanic, his powerful "Devil Bringer" arm.

With the advanced graphical capabilities of the next-gen systems, high definition visuals and intricate detail come to life as players explore new and exotic locales. Dynamic action and undeniable style combine with unprecedented fighting options and a gripping story to produce the incomparable experience that only a Devil May Cry game can deliver.

Like Kotaku.com says in their opening, I'm not surprised this happened. Great news for gamers, bad news for Sony in the "Next Gen" console war.

HAHAHAH!.
see what happens when PS3 get cocky with blu ray and
expensive ass prices.
the only exclusive thing on PS3 is MGS3

MexicanOnABike · 03-20-2007, 09:05 PM

hmm. comming to PC eh? it's too bad there wont be any more exclusive games that make each consoles unique.

Lasereth · 03-21-2007, 03:00 AM

Is this bad for Sony? Oh yeah, but it's not gonna affect whether people buy the system at all. Sony needs to FIND a fucking way to drop the price on the PS3. Take the Blu-Ray out, take SOMETHING out to get the price down to $400.

BTW I beat Devil May Cry 3 and I shall boast because it is harder then Ninja Gaiden.

MexicanOnABike · 03-21-2007, 09:30 AM

eh, they'll never take out the blue ray because it's their "special feature!". I think if they weren't gonna release blue ray games (i mean games that take up a full blueray disc) than it should have been a add-on like the HDdrive for the x360. stick in a simple dvd drive that's REMOVABLE just like on a real pc. and when the time comes, sell it for 200$ (sell the ps3 for 350-400$).

overall, If they cannot keep the special titles, they will loose a ton of people.
guitarhero is already leaving, gta is everywhere, etc... if the ps2/3 looses GOD OF WAR, then that's over for them.

Esoteric · 03-21-2007, 12:06 PM

If they lose MGS4 and/or GoW3 that will be the final nail in the coffin for the PS3. Also, I agree with Lasereth about DMC3 being harder than Ninja Gaiden.

Prophecy · 03-21-2007, 01:19 PM

Sony can't lose God of War, it's made by a first party studio: Sony Computer Entertainment Studios Santa Monica. Same thing with Microsoft losing Halo, it'll never happen. However, Sony could lose MGS4 and FF 13. That my friends would be a huge blow to the Sony machine.

Vales419 · 03-22-2007, 06:55 PM

Its great news. Loved the DMC series.
FUCK SONY and there stupid asses!!!

well, they already did take *something* out. the emotion engine that gave backwards compatibility to the ps2 library has been removed from the pal region ps3, and starting in April, sony will remove the ee from north america and japan territories as well. instead ps2 emulation will be done entirely by software updates. saves 'em $27 bucks a console, or so i've heard.

...oh, you meant drop the price for the consumer. yea sorry, but you're SOL on that one

Dr Mario Kart · 03-26-2007, 02:47 AM

Its actually not doing as bad as one might think for a $600 machine. That is to say, if you align the launches of the PS3/360, the PS3 is actually doing marginally better than the 360 was at the same time period, meaning everything up to this point can be attributed only to the head start

North America
1 PS3 Nov 06 220,500 220,500 ------X360 Nov 05 357,250 357,250
2 PS3 Dec 06 533,250 753,750 ------X360 Dec 05 303,500 660,750
3 PS3 Jan 07 273,000 1,026,750-----X360 Jan 06 269,000 929,750
4 PS3 Feb 07 133,750 1,160,500--X360 Feb 06 187,250 1,117,000

Japan pushes the equation in favor of PS3.

hulk · 03-26-2007, 05:00 AM

Those figures stop just before the PAL launch of both consoles *grin*

Plaid13 · 03-26-2007, 11:00 AM

Im all for any games that go from console only to pc simply because im too cheap to buy consoles and i already have a pc that i use for other things. That and PC has alot more ability to expand and upgrade then consoles do.

By comparison, the Wii sold 105,000 units for its UK launch, and the Xbox 360 sold 70,000 systems.

The PS3 sold 165k units in the U.K. over launch weekend, making the fastest selling console ever.

Wii sold 105k units for its UK launch, and the Xbox 360 sold 70k

So still, off to a good start, or at least not nearly as doomed as is commonly thought.

CyCo PL · 03-26-2007, 07:21 PM

Give the PS3 the amount of time it took Xbox 360 to get some decent games... the console will start to shine. Also, PS3's first gen games look just as good as 360's second gen games. I own neither though, I got a Wii.

Going from 70% marketshare to pushing bare numbers with the competition isn't a good start. Not doomed, but they're not gonna end up back on top

The last one was pretty bad@ss but really hard.

Doesn't anyone realize that a blu ray player costs 800-1000, and a 60 gig PS3 with games and controllers costs $700. (All are Canadian Prices)
