Busted, smashed, shot...in a very stylish manner - Image 1


When all else fails, go right to the source. Remember that recent rumor that's been mentioned over a possible port of Devil May Cry 4 for the Xbox 360? Sure, it was fun imagining the possibilities, but given that we did say rumors should be "taken with a grain of salt", digression proved the better trait here, as far as Capcom's concerned.

Kotaku has also apparently picked up on the rumor, and as such, decided to contact the main man - Capcom - to see just how far the rumor went. Here was the reply: "Capcom does not comment on rumors. Devil May Cry 4 is exclusive to PS3. No other announcements have been made."

There you have it, straight from the horse's mouth. For now, we'll just have to wait for further announcements, and go back to seeing just how stylish this game's turning out to be, and see what other rumors were already deep-sixed.

Are you an idiot? Really, Zelda is a 1st party title while DMC is a 3rd party title. While it is unlikely for DMC to cross platforms it could happen.

   by Sony’s going down; Microsoft’s going up. (Unregistered) - 2007-01-31
 » Sony’s going down; Microsoft’s going up.

Sony’s going down from its PS2’s glory days; MS’s going up from its poorly performed Xbox days. There’s no big mystery in this. One thing is a fact; even if Sony wins this console war with PS3s, Sony won’t dominate the industry like they did with PS2s.
- X360: 10 million sold
- PS3: 1.8m
- Xbox: 24m
- PS2: 100m
Only 1 year has been elapsed, and MS sold 10m X360s when they have only sold about 24m Xboxes in 5 years.

I have read many different analyses written by those people who research and make statistics; and between the PS3s and the X360s; currently...
(1) MS is offering much better quality support for the 3rd party developers (service).
(2) X360’s developer kits are much easier and more convenient to use (user friendly).
(3) X360 hardware is much easier to make games on (less complex hardware components).
(4) MS had 1 year head start.
- Hardware architecture is much more known to developers.
- 5 times more number of X360s was sold
- 5 times more profit for developers.
- MS can cut the price of X360 by $100 in the near future while Sony can’t do that for another year.
- Unmatched number of more games (above $50) has been released (X360: about 350 games, PS3: about 50 so far)
- Xbox & PS3 both were released year(s) later than PS2 & X360; Xbox & PS3 were more expensive, bigger, more powerful and less diverse (had less number of games).
(5) So far, so many PS3 exclusive top quality games now moved on to X360 (multi-platform).
(6) X360 has considerably better online support (PS3’s online service only has bare minimums).
(7) X360 console is $200 cheaper.

* Moreover comparing PS3s and X360s is like comparing dogs and cats. Dogs (PS3s) are smarter, more expensive to buy, more expensive to maintain, living longer (longer lifespan), more powerful, bigger, faster, more useful, et cetera than cats (X360s).

* There’re about 300 X360 games (above $50) released so far. God of War 2 for the PS2 looks even better than most X360 games except for some popular ones like lost planet or Gears of War. Than means God of War 2 is better than 295 X360 games. 98% of all X360 games are worst than a game which runs on the PS2 which was released in 2000 (7 years ago). Sigh, Microsoft. Way to go!


   Re: Joker (Unregistered) - 2007-02-01
 » Umm... we're talking about DMC, here...

The topic is "Devil May Cry is NOT going to M$".

You're beating a dead horse by trying to defend a debunked (and stupid) rumor by doing the same old "Sony only sold 2 million PS3s in 3 months, while Xbox360 sold 10 million in 15 months."

Everything else is just your OPINION.
"Opinions are like *ssho!es, everyone has one, and everyone else's stinks."

   Re: daz (Unregistered) - 2007-02-01
 » hmmm

1)the 360 has been out for almost 14 months now, and the fact the xbox had a similar selling rate in its first year doesnt exactly mean the 360 shows promise. The PS3 has been out for 2months (and thats only in 2 regions) and is yet to release throughout Europe, so comparing sales at this point is irrelevant. The 360 is bound to have sound more consoles, as its been out for 1year longer
2) back to point 1 for a second, the fact the PS3 has sold 1.8m consoles so far without Europe shows its had a decent start, infact its sold quicker than the 360 has. And with 360 Shipments being cut and it struggling to sell outside of America, its not all rosey for MS
3) Ms arent offering anywhere near the quality of 3rd party support like the PS3 or Wii has lined up. Go check your facts and come back again for a better arguement on that note
4) Again, how do you know that 360 development kits are easier to use? Different people have different skills you know. One person might find the PS3 dev kits easier to use than 360's, and even if they dont, it didnt stop 100million PS2's being sold, where its dev kits where much harder to use than the PS3's.
5) Of course the 360 has 5times the amount of PS3's in the market, its been out 5times longer than the PS3 has been out. It doesnt take a genius to work that one out
6) Do you actually have proof that its 5 times more profitable for Developers? Didnt think so
7) Where on earth did you get 350 games from? Im sure MS themselves have recently been saying they have reached just over 100 games on its platform. Why don't you list all 350 that have been released? And again, its been out 1 year longer, of course its going to have more games, you fool.
8) Id love you to name one "top quality" title thats gone from PS3 to 360. Assassins Creed? If you remember E3 05, the same game, under a different title, was announced for 360. DMC? not on 360. Resident Evil 5? Never an Exclusive. MGS4? not on 360. I cant think of one "top quality" title thats gone from PS3 to 360, but i can the other way round. Elder Scrolls? Fight Night? Saints Row?
9) PS3's online service has 'bare minimums'?. Again, your not looking at it with any perspective. The service had only just launched. The 360 hardly had anything on xblive marketplace when that first came along. And Sonys service does have alot of great ideas and things about to come on, if you actually took your head out of Bill Gates ass, you'd see the news about it over past few weeks. And id rather have free online to play games etc than pay £40 EVERY YEAR to play online. £40 over 5 years + £200, just in online fees alone.
10) Again, no true comparison has been made. Yes, face value the 360 is cheaper, but what about taking it online like i stated above, thats £200 ontop of what you've paid? What if MS release a bigger hard-drive for its movie service(which isnt even given to us Europeans, for anyone who says Sony doesnt care, neither does MS) hell the 20gig HD costs £70, i dread to think what a 80-100 gig drive would cost, and its not like you get the option to put any other manufacturers HD on the console, your stuck with what MS offers (what were fans saying about 'choice'?)

The amount of bull***** spouted by desperate fans does my head in. I hate coming on here and reading nonsense comments in an attempt to convert people to buy a product, and i hate having to post replies to try and provide people with abit of scope and "reality" to the situation.

"So far, so many PS3 exclusive top quality games now moved on to X360 (multi-platform)"

Stick your head out of M$s ass and get it right. Many 360 exclusives have already been moved to PS3, but I dont see the same thing happening the other way arround. I can already see Oblivion and Saints Row comming to PS3, but I dont see Warhawk, Lair, or Heavenly Sword going to 360...and those are only a few promising titles, dont get me started with DMC(face it, its not goingt), Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid 4. the ONLY game I have seen that has been ported from PS3 to Xbox 360 is Virtua Fighter 5...that is IT.

 » lol

Microsoft might have a chance at having 20 million sold at the end of this year, but chances are slim to none since the PS3 and Wii are now offered.

The PS3 has a better chance at making 20 million by the end of the 2007 year then the Xbox360.

Most of you don't realize that Microsoft is making the exact same mistake as they did with the original Xbox. Piss Poor Single Player line-up. There aren't any must have games that can be played off-line. This is one of the reasons why the PS2 dominated over the Xbox. The PS2 had the best gaming experience by far. Microsoft will lead you to believe that playing online is huge but the fact remains that less then half of the console gamers even play online and the Xbox360 proves it. The system has sold 10 million but the number of subscribed accounts is well less then half.

Unless Microsoft can come up with a good single-player line up, they will never take 1st place against Sony, and will lose 2nd place to Nintendo. Fact being, just about every Xbox360 game is tailored for online gaming. Thats the problem.


   Re: Devise (Unregistered) - 2007-02-01
 » ...

Halo 3 will ensure the 360 has atleast 20 mil by the end of the year. Then you got GTA4, which is coming to the PS3 but if the 360 is still $100 to $200 cheap it's going to sell more units. No matter how you look at it, it's going to be a big year for gaming.

   Re: daz (Unregistered) - 2007-02-01
 » wow

u can smell the desperation from 360 fans, who resort to swaering, name calling etc to try and prove there opinion as fact.

At least Devise is right, no matter what way you look at it, its going to be a big year for gaming, something which you idiotic to$$ers coudnt care about.

But i disagree with Devise about Halo3, one game doesnt sell a console 10million units, infact i cant think of 1 single game that has sold 10million copies in less than a year. Crackdowns sales will be the judje as to how popular Halo is on the 360

   Re: Devise (Unregistered) - 2007-02-01
 » ...

I didn't say halo would sell 10 million consoles. It will sell millions though. GTA was last generations biggest title and will more a lot of consoles. I think because the 360 is going to be cheaper and will still have a much larger titles catalog it's probably going to move more consoles then the PS3. Especially if MS decide to bundle it with the console. 20 million should be an easy target, the number of quality 2nd generation titles coming out is amazing. I love this next gen shhh.

   Re: Wii Play B3yond (Unregistered) - 2007-02-01
 » Its Funny

Sounds like Devise is putting all his money on Halo 3. Even if it is just medicore and doesn't offer anything really new I'm sure I'll call it the best FPS ever and keep using it as the reason for the console till the end of its life.

   Re: Once was a fanboy (Unregistered) - 2007-02-01
 » Onliine stuff and the reason Sony put me off

I used to love Sony, but the fact is that since I've played on Xbox Live my gaming experience hasn't been the same. It is online play that makes me come back to a game (yes, like Halo 2) for literally years. I don't buy very many games anymore, and I imagine that's at least partially because I feel that I don't have to do so.

People keep talking scheißen about M$ being evil or money grubbing, but when it came to the rumble feature it was Sony who kept fighting in court and eventually made up that fairy tale about it interfering with the Six-Axis (I mean, the Wiimote has BOTH acceleration detection and rumble, doesn't it?). I like FPS games, and when I'm being shot at by an enemy, I'd like to know it. That's just not easy without rumble in games like Resistance.

Though this is sort of hypocritical (since I am very much convinced about Halo 3 being good), I think it is very silly to assume that any game is going to be good before they play it; I learned after Project Ego became Fable that what you expect has nothing to do with how good something will be. As a rule these days, I don't anticipate games, and I certainly don't preorder them (not even Halo 3). As a result, I've saved a lot of money and have had a better gaming experience.

I'll probably end up getting PS3, perhaps for MGS4 (and the linux thing is pretty sweet, I must say), but right now the 360 appeals to me more.

   Re: Devise (Unregistered) - 2007-02-01
 » ...

I wont be buying Halo 3 everyone. I'm just saying it's going to sell millions of consoles, people are obsessed with Halo. Halo 2 sold 8 millions copies on a system that only had an install base of 24 million. Note: I wasn't one of the 8 million.

I looking forward to other games this year.

Again, i have never been a fan of Halo, in fact I only ever owned Halo 1. But i only had it for 20 minutes before it got traded for Project Gotham Racing :P

So, no...I'm not relying on Halo 3.

   Re: Seoulfood (Unregistered) - 2007-02-02
 » halo

Those that are dying to play halo3 and would buy a new console for it are probably already 360 owners. Truthfully, competition's a lot stiffer now. Unless the new halo offers some crazy cool new play mechanic or mind-blowing visuals, it won't lure in new 360 owners. It'll for sure sell millions of copies, but probably not millions of consoles.

Lol..it took 1 year for for 360 to sell 10 million units and 1.8 million for ps3 in about 2 months...just wait until more exclusive ps3 games to come out...
1) Ps3 and wiis are better with the 3rd parties..
2) about how the developer kits are much easier..how the hell would you know about that....eventually they will learn how to make it easier to work with the ps3 kit.
3) same ***** as number 2
4) It doesnt matter about the 1 year start...eventually ps3 wiill catch up..
5) There are no top quality games are moving to Xbox, all of them are rumors
6) Yeah..online service with monthly fees
7) $200 cheaper without online service, hd drive, wireless controls...just the hd drive makes it $200

Basically right now microsoft are going up for now is because of the 1 year start...

Come on, this isn't news.

Even if they are working on a 360 version, the official line is that DMC4 is exclusive to the PS3, and Capcom will keep saying this until they officially announce a 360 version (if they plan to do so).

In otherwords, this tells us nothing about the rumours being true or false.

"Capcom does not comment on rumors. Devil May Cry 4 is exclusive to PS3. No other announcements have been made." Does not seem like a denial to me, it's your standard no comment response. The first word that you will hear from Capcom if it does go multi-platform will be a press release, not an answer to some blogger's question. Until then DMC4 is Sony Exclusive, but a X360 release may still happen.
