Also disregard any comments relating to it being superior in any fashion to the 360 version... Word is the install only skims a few seconds off loads.. It doesn't get them gone completely like orginally believed...

also PS3 has Motion blur, but if you think about it the 360 could easily have blur also.
methinks Dante on PS3 needed to cover up his jaggies and split ends. :)

Achievements are the key to making you play a game long after you would have stopped making the game seem to be longer.

The PS3 version comes with the same exact achievements as the 360 version, minus achievement points which are pointless anyways.
The achievements also run off of the PS3's OS, so they might even be transferable when Home hits.
Just pointing that out.
There's really almost no difference between the two versions now, besides the PS3 having slightly better load times because of install.

The demo made me place a pre-order. It wasn't great, but made me feel the game was good, alot like Heavenly Sword. But I chose the 360 version for the APs and £10 cheaper.
Hopefully when it comes on Friday it will be good. It is the LE, so maybe it will be signed.

The PS3 version is superior only due to the fact that Devil May Cry was literally made to be played on the Dualshock/Sixaxis controllers. It feels weird on the 360 controller.

controls are fully customizable.
action adventure/hack n slash games can't work well with a 360 controller?
see: Ninja Gaiden. :)

PS3 actually loads a lot faster due to heavy caching on the HDD. Apart from that I don't think there are any major (or minor, for that matter) differences.
The camera sucks on both platforms tho.

Quoting Jostick that quotes Capcom:
"[Once the game is installed]Capcom claims players will experience "near-Super Nintendo speed load times," which CVG clarifies as "one or two seconds shy of those in the [Xbox] 360 [version of the game]."
So although PS3 has AT LEAST 20GB more disc space, it is still nowhere near as fast as 360 version unless you bother to install it.
Even though this should render PS3 fanboys speechless, I think I'm starting a flamewar here.

Its a mandatory install. And the install makes loading 1-2 seconds faster than the 360. who cares? On the other hand say you didnt have to install it, and the loading was 1-2 seconds slower thn the 360, and now you would say its "nowhere near as fast"? haha

Two things: my PS3 and 360 both have the same size HDD. They did make a 20GB model, you know. Second, the 360 version sports rumble without having to import something from Japan (or wait several months) to get it.
That said, I'm not sure which I'm going to get. I don't have an HDMI-able 360, so my PS3 looks very slightly better than my 360 (HDMI > Component, IMHO), but the 360 has rumble + achievements + not eating 1/4 of my hard drive...

So let me get this straight...
Capcom can't fit Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix into the 150MB XBLA limit, but yet they can fit DMC4 onto DVD9 with acceptable loading, but yet they can't fit DMC4 onto a 25GB Blu-Ray disc without having to cache 5GB onto the hard disk first to have acceptable loading...
What is going on over there?
My head hurts reading this ....

Yeah, you've got it straight, and it all makes sense, believe it or not.
Regarding SSF2HD... 150MB is not a lot of space to stuff all of the art into that they'll need to. When you take into consideration all of the animation, backgrounds, etc. in SF2... and then scaling that so it looks pretty at 1080p? That's a lot of raster artwork to store, no matter how well you compress it.
As for the load speed/install/etc. issues between the two flavors of DMC4? Simple. The 360's 12x DVD-Rom simply reads data off the disks faster than the PS3's 2x Blu-Ray drive. That's why installs are frequently required for PS3 games; smoke and mirrors to get around the fact that the BD is sloooooow. It does have lots of storage though... so that's a bonus I guess?
