Devil May Cry 4 demo arrives Thursday

by Richard Mitchell on Jan 22nd 2008 9:15PM

Capcom announced on their official blog today that the Devil May Cry 4 demo will arrive this Thursday on Xbox Live Marketplace, a full week ahead of the rumored January 31 date. The demo will allow gamers the chance to try out Nero and take part in a trademark boss battle. And ... um ... that's about it. Hmmm ... probably should have put some filler between those first two sentences. Oh wait, there are more details! The demo takes place in the Fortuna city level, featuring snowy mountains and a port area. Also, we have it on good authority that the demo can also be enjoyed in high definition. We can't wait.

[Thanks, Blake P.]

If Namco fails to bring Tekken 6 to the 360 than I am convinced they are more concerned with staying traditional rather than making money. If they don't its not too big a deal anyways.
Fighters, especially Tekken are well past thier prime. Tekken 5 was a huge let down.
VF 5 was and is the greatest 3d fighter out there and still, noone gives a shit except for a select few.

NONE OF THIS MATTERS ANYMORE BECAUSE HEATH LEDGER IS DEAD!!!!!!!=[[

Wow hopefully I'll be able to read some of the text in DMC4 considering Capcom seems to think all gamers own HDTV's.

If you don't have an HD set, you're the equivalent of someone complaining that consoles don't come with RF adapters these days. When you can get an HD set for barely more than a new Xbox 360 or PS3, then you have no excuse.

Well if you can afford an xbox YOU MUST BE ABLE TO AFFORD AN HD SET IF YOU ARE BEING SELFISH AND SPEND THE REST OF YOUR MONEY ON FOOD AND SHELTER THEN YOU DESERVE TO SQUINT THROUGH OUT THE ENTIRE DEMO.

Good logic!

I'm surprised that there are people with 360s that may not have a HDTV set, but play through a standard TV instead of a cheap PC monitor to get HD modes working.

Mind you I worked testing a 360 title last year and we were all using 15" standard TVs!

I've never gamed on such a small screen since my Vectrex!

Wow
i guess none of you guys saw this...

do i get modded for this?

I cannot wait.

Sucks about the Joker dying.

Yeah, I couldn't believe the Heath Ledger thing. Anna Nicole Smith or whatever wasn't terribly surprising, but this is kind of crazy and sad.

As for this, can't wait for the demo.

Maybe its that this is the first of this franchise on a the Xbox, but I have less interest in this game than Tenchu Z. Its pretty much on par with the crazy Japanese-named games that appear on the PS3, IMO. In spite of all of this, I feel I have a duty to Call love this game just because its another stolen Playstation exclusive.
I gots me a case of the fanboys.

Suppose-ta-be a strikethrough on Call. I fail at humor.

Listen, Ninja Gaiden remakes exist because of Devil May Cry. Kratos only existed because Dante said so. This is the ultimate action experience and for you to not have interest is inexplicable.

Devil May Cry was the entire reason I bought a Playstation. I stayed for other games. Don't let the media hype machine deter you folks. This time, hype comes from past performance, not future expectations. BigMac, do yourself a favor and download this game in all its HD glory.

Well then, you have sparked my interest with your enthusiasm, Larry. I guess I must check it out to see if it is enjoyable for myself.

Praise Raptor Jesus!

u guys don't deserve dmc4, u only want it cuz it (was :'() a ps exclusive, i bet there r ppl out there who buy it for that very reason, sad

Or that DMC is popular and generally well reviewed and the 360 is starved for these types of games right now.

I really doubt anyone would buy this just to spite PS3 owners beyond just making jokes about it on the Internet. If PS3 owners really want to make a point, they should make sure more of them buy it than 360 owners do lol.

Point made. IMO DMC is overrated anyway, but reading bigmac375
comment made me realize, i would bet money that at least a couple ppl
will do this

Or perhaps they are sick of being treated by shit by Sony, lied to and abused. Maybe those same Sony/DMC fans had enough and decided a different form of punishment, one that is new and exciting, one under Microsoft's boot rather than Sony's whip. If I do get this game it will be because I enjoyed the demo, not to spite fanboys. Don't be an idiot.

On topic here: I'll have something to take after my final thursday morning, sweet.

I can’t wait for this game, its gonna be good. I don’t care what console it’s on.

Anticrawl

1) I'm not exactly sure what u said
2) Sony would never lie to us xP
3) Microsoft is always honest, that's why they couldn't comment on Xbox Live issue becuase they were "being sued"
4) I'm prob. very angry that my 360 didnt even RRoD, the disc drive stopped working, and i'm waiting on 2 weeks
5) :(

Could some one bring this fella up to date with the US legal regulations?

Good! I'm glad to help. You should not be disappointed. I've always liked action-adventure games and Devil May Cry successfully scratches every itch. I have to wait until 2/7/08 to download it but it'll be worth the wait. I wish I could win a copy.

Ok, I need an Xbox Live 48 hour free trail before thursday. Hit me up chillwillcw at yahoo com asap.

u don't need gold to play this....
o wait... yea i forgot
instead of taking things away from silver subscribers they should give something new to gold....

you are talking about the 1 week delay right?

This is a must have.. cant wait to get it

Wow, Nacho is really gonna bust a nut when they bring Tekken 6 and MGS4 to the 360 due to poor sales on the ps3.

Tekken 6 won't come to XBOX. As for MGS4, Konami said we need 1 million on day one.....how hard kud that be...

give nacho a break
you may think he's a ps3 fanboy
but deep deep inside hes one hardcore xbot
lol

sorry
just extremely bored at work
recession news brought everything to a slowdown....

Good point, Nacho.

BTW...how many previous PS3 games have sold 1 million on day one?

Should be a cake walk. ;)

Can't wait for this, loved DMC1 on the PS2! There was a good review of this on GamerTV on the weekend.

And mad one about Heath Ledger, I thought it was another internet wind-up when I read the headline. Shocking.
