Capcom: 'ain't no difference' between Devil May Cry 4 versions

Like any one can tell the difference with all those video encoding artifacts and the fact that the game trailers "HD" videos are 640px high.

I think they make these videos just to laugh at the comments.

"What?! 640p isn't HD! All the Halo haters told me so!"

More proof that anything over 480p is considered "HD". 720p just happens to be one of the popular standards.

Spartacus, you totally missed the point. He was saying that because the quality of the videos aren't high enough (with encoding artifacts and resolution being the primary reasons they aren't), it's difficult to even see the subtle differences. In other words, you're precious Halo is not HD and you like furry porn.

You're thinking of Kotaku...

Just go to N4G.com and you will find the most uninformed PS3 fanboys...

They are crazy...

Fernando,

I think you are just too accustom to to being here with all the other anti-PS3 douchebags like yourself so you you are more comfortable here in your guy's little pathetic circle jerk. Whereas in the big internet, you see that you are actual very outnumbered in your opinions so you just assumed write them off as "uninformed". That's why you ran back here to your solace that is Joystiq and it's haven for Sony haters just like you.

The 360 version of Rock band is superior because my bassist can pick up the wireless GHIII controller and use it to play the game.

Who gives a shit what who thinks? Just buy it for the system that you want it for. Everyone needs to shut the fuck up about what it looks better for. We all know that it does not make a difference, because there are a lot of people that will simply buy it for the system that they like the most simply because they are fans of that platform. Me personally I'll be buying it for PS3 only because of the fact that I'm used to the control schemes for the game on that particular system. I'm just happy that I'm fortunate enough to be able to have a choice between the two systems.

i would feel like i am doing devil may cry a dishonor by not buying it for the ps3.

besides the achievements ( i'm no fanboy i own all the current gen systems) i just feel as if my unopened dmc trilogy box set would be upset if i sided with the 360 on this one. this game has opened a lot of doors for me, my friends who i pushed the game on and let borrow and the gaming industry.

i don't know if joystiq has been overcome by the young kids who wreak havoc over xbl and create all these shit storm flame wars but i think all the respectable gamers will be buying this for the platform it's MADE for and only time and the charts will tell...

What about the Cell and Blue Ray?! I dunno when I saw that video I could've swore DMC4 was in 4D!

Exactly... just look at the best games this year: Assasins Creed, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Halo 3, Mario Galaxy, Call of Duty 4, Guitar Hero 3, Rock Band and a lot more games...

All of the games better on the 360, without the Cell, and in DVD9 (with HD, with surround, with differents languages).

The money spent getting a Dual Shock 3 cannot be counted with the price of the game (and thus the value) since if you get a DS3, you'll have rumble in other games too.

Let me put it this way, if the PS3 suddenly starts shipping with the DS3 next week, is DMC4 suddenly a better value? No.

There's a lot of stuff you pay for on the 360 that you don't pay for on the PS3, so this could easily be argued the other way.

PC version of Orange Box has achievements, no reason to think the PS3 version of DMC4 can't. No, you won't be able to wave them around on the internet via your gamertag though. Good thing, too.

Rock Band is better on 360 how? GH3 how?

And Super Mario Galaxy is better on the 360 how?

LS2

I meant, multiplatform games are better on the 360.

Uhh Guitar Hero III and Rock Band on the 360 are better I'd imagine because of the marketplace, Live and uhh achievements?

I dunno I don't have those games but that's generally the case with all multiplatform games.

For the record I currently have all 3 systems out now, including a DS Lite and the new PSP. Bit of a techoholic, also have my 360 hooked up to a brand new Sony Bravia.

I can say for a fact the PS3 gets the least amount of play time.

Goes like this 360, PC, Wii(swap with PC when gf is over), DS, PSP, Dreamcast, PS3 and N64(for Goldeneye/Smash Bros. with friends).

Rock Band and GH3 have exactly the same DLC on PS3 and 360. Why would you say the Marketplace makes one better?

As to Achievements, that's your problem. If you are hooked on getting tags attached to your account for others to view about how you did in games, then you should stick with the 360 for sure. For those of us who play games for ourselves instead of to impress others, we do just fine without them.

@why not the LS2/LS7?

Man dude, calm down, I'm just making comments for the sake of the arguement. I could care less about achievements and I don't even own the game for that matter. I simply perfer the 360 because that's the console all my friends have and I love online gaming. Without online gaming I wouldn't have the motivation to play games like I do. And without achievements I probably wouldn't finish many of the games I have, which ultimately would have been worse for me because I would have missed out on great content.

I've got terrible focus problems so those achievements sometimes help me finish a game. I'd have never experienced the glory that is COD4 single-player without the influence of the achievements. I usually can't bring myself to play a singleplayer game unless it's really fucking good.

Fernando, some people might specifically want a PS3 for several factors that a similarly-priced 360 can't offer: wifi, larger harddrive (40gig vs 20gig on the 360), blu-ray player, quieter, more dependable, and free online.

So, to counter your argument, an owner of a PS3 could ask, if it looks exactly the same, why bother getting the 360? Why not get it on the console without a RRoD? With the free online play? With no power brick? They might have found better value in other features.

I'm not a big Sony fanboy (I use my 360 most of all), but it's hard to read all this negativity that shows no signs of recognizing that some people want different things.

Uh PS3 has rumble out the box. There are new controllers that have rumble. Duh as far as achievements there is this thing called HOME that is coming out that has PS3's version of achievements. People kill me with this 360 vs PS3 crap. I own both and neither is better than the other. They do the same thing... they play games.

Uhm... Rock Band is better on the 360 than on the PS3. I can use my GHIII guitar with it, where you can't on the PS3. Of course that's not Sony's fault.

Like one of the other posters, my PS3 collects dust. I don't think I've turned it on since I beat Heavenly Sword. Still waiting for Gran Turismo......

I don't see being able to use the awful GH3 Les Paul as an advantage. I sold mine even when it looked like the patch to make it work was coming. And mine didn't even have neck problems!

I like the GH2 X-plorer slightly better, but honestly, it's all Strats for me now.

Like it or not, it's the difference between having a 3some or a 4some.

Actually, not it isn't the difference. I have 4 friends with RB for PS3, and one of them just brings a guitar over of their own to play.

We play as a 4 piece once a week (which as often as we can play together anyway).

Like I said, I don't give a crap about the GH3 guitar thing. I'm not lying.

If you have a PS3 and a 360, there's no single reason to pick DMC4 on the PS3 over the 360 version.

Only if you want to play it with a controller with bad triggers, without rumble and with an analog stick placed in a bad position.

Plus, probably the 360 version will have more additional content via Live in the future.

What if I want to play it without it sounding like a helicopter is taking off in my living room?

Recent games have had the same DLC on both platforms. No reason to think this will be different until we are told otherwise. Especially when the developer says "ain't no difference" between them.

Thanks for the lecture fernacho, your opinions are always amusing.

Or you could play it on a console that sounds like it's taking off (thats if it's still working), with a fat, heavy controller

That is the first time I have ever seen a trailer with absolutely no difference whatsoever between the two sides, although I think the 360 might have had a few extra snow flakes :p

What you state is all opinion based. Let me preface what I'm about to say by stating that I own a PS3, 360, Wii, PSP slim, DS lite and am by no way a fan boy of any one system. I personally am used to the control scheme for Devil May Cry on the PS3, and thus will be picking it up for that system. There is nothing that points to the 360 version having more content available via download. If anything one could say that the fact that Sony will be releasing a Devil May Cry bundle points towards Sony possibly striking a deal with Capcom and having more future content available on PSN than Microsoft will have on XB live. I actually like the PS3 controller and prefer the analog sticks. On top of everything I really do not care about achievements - yes they are nice, but not the ultimate reason why I play a game. In fact the last few games that I have finished have all been games for the Ps3 (Heavenly Sword, Uncharted). So, when you say that if you own both systems that there is no reason to pick it up on the PS3 you are allowing your true fanboy colors to show through... and also speaking out of your ass.

damn Fernando. i thought you said you were trying to be less of a troll now. talk about a relapse.

after watching that video and as a PS3 owner, i can for once say that i do not think we got jipped at all this time. i see no difference what so ever. so how is the 360 version better? PSN now gets all the DLC that Live gets. i always play games to completions anyway so i really dont need the motivation factor of Achievements, even though im sure i will still use them on Home. and after playing without rumble for a while, i really dont miss it (my Wii has rumble and i barely notice it). i personally dont like the 360 controller, does that make the 360 the worst console ever just cause I dont like it? no. the thing is still dammed popular but its just not for me. i dont understand why you think everyone agrees with or cares about your opinions.

i do consider myself a Sony fanboy but at the same time the 360 is still a good console in its own right. it just doesnt offer as much that i like as the PS3 does. not everyone has the same taste man, take your blinders off.

yeah, the 360 for sure shows better texturing. I notice this in all comparison vids and pics. The PS3 is too bright and fades textures it seems.

Yeah I am a complete techno-geek that is able to see shit in videos that no one else is able to.

I agree. In some parts though, you see the PS3 side have better/more particles that are visible (when they apply).

Other than that, they look pretty much the same.

The frame-rate looks the same. Other differences don't seem to affect gameplay, which is the ultimate factor to judge.

Hooray parity!

Microwave oven? No....

George Forman? Yes.

That's completely uncalled for, Anticrawl.

I have a George Foreman grill at home, and I find myself using it all the time. It's much better than a regular oven for some things and a great value.

@jovin6

You're right dude.. I'm just bitter because my George Foreman is an older model and it's difficult to clean. Otherwise I get a lot more use out of it than my PS3.

i hate you guys.
i'm still stuck with my very good toaster.
i just can't seem to fit the other good stuff in there.

But motion controls are for tHa kiDdz!

It looks more perpendicular to me.

If it's anything like "after-touch" that Heavenly Sword had I'll be turning that crap off.

Have you played the previous DMCs? Dante said even worse things. Oh, japanese translators, how I love thy engrish.
