DMC4 PS3 vs. 360 Comparison Video

CVG Writes:

Capcom said way back in May last year that its intention was to make both the PS3 and 360 versions of Devil May Cry 4 pretty much identical.

It looks amazing, that's for sure. The environments in particular - there's so much detail in there, which gets lit up by the massive sparks off Nero's ridiculously large sword as he plants it into the heads of his foes.

We did a bit of video trickery to get both versions running side-by-side as closely as possible, so you can take your magnifying glass to the screen in an effort to spot a difference. You won't be able to though. Not unless you're Superman.

Now both the ps3 and xbox 360 owners should be happy since the 2 versions are identical.

The ps3 fans rejoice.

x360 fans rejoice.

multiconsole owners can get either version based on his/her preference for the controllers

Cyrus3656698d ago

Exactly, although I'm sure some will state how 1 version is slightly better than the other.

decapitator6698d ago

Great post you two. But as you already know, fanboys don't like identical games. They will do anything they can to find fault with one. Guys, play games and stop with the constant bickering.

zambrota6698d ago

Gamesradar has already done that and since the GT comparison's demise i think it will be taken as granted too.

Most websites have also given their verdict on controller preferences too

CeruleanSky6698d ago (Edited 6698d ago )

Yes, congrats, Capcom. You gimped one of last gen's classic franchises just to make a bit of extra cash off the 360 and its smaller than last gen DVD storage, no standard harddrive and wimpy graphics hardware.

60 bucks for a gimped down to 360 level game.

Sorry, you lose Capcom.

LJWooly6698d ago (Edited 6698d ago )

I find it funny how Cerulean Sky just proved you all right. Fanboys don't like identical games.

Take this kid for example, since there is no discernable difference between the two versions of the game, he puts forward the notion that the game would have been better if it was PS3 exclusive; that the 360's 'low specs' have 'bogged down' the game.

People like Cerulean Sky can't stand harmony, and they can't stand fairness; they revel in anger. They're only happy when they're miserable, if you get what I mean. Why else would you troll? To start arguments, that's why.

Saddest thing is, a lot of people will take the bait, which doesn't make them any better.

It's unavoidable, I tell you. Unavoidable.

poos36698d ago

if i get this game ill be getting the 360version and yes they both LOOK identical .

millertime83066698d ago

Cerulean Sky may have a point, but for the wrong reasons. I'm not going to claim to know the development strategies of Capcom, but the game could have potentially been better if developed for a single platform since more time, effort, and resources could've been poured into a single version. With a lot of devs confirming that the PS3 is a bit of a beast to develop for and that to really take advantage of the PS3 hardware, code must be optimized to take advantage of the its architecture, it's conceivable that the game could have been better if solely developed for the PS3.

Nonetheless, we can't be certain that Capcom would have made the extra effort to utilize PS3 architecture to the fullest even if it were the sole platform, so it's all a big 'What If?' scenario. The game does look great though :).

CeruleanSky6698d ago

LJWooly you miserable little fück, when DMC came out for the PS2 years ago it didn't look like a fücking Dreamcast game because Capcom wasn't stupid enough to downgrade the game to make a little bit of extra cash.

People like you are an embarrassment to gamers on all platforms.

The Xbox 360 has ruined one of the great franchises from last gen.

drewdrakes6698d ago

millertime8306 - It also could have been better if they had concentrated on the Wii or 360. Its that they can aim it towards the hardware theyre using, that that its super fantastic. They can optimize everything to the specs.

Daishi6698d ago

@ CeruleanSky, you do realize that they could have easily ported to the Dreamcast with nothing lost? And to that end I'm sure that the 360 version will look better than the PS2 version. You still have Untold Legends exclusive, so dry your tears...

tony6698d ago

the version that give me achievements points.

lawgone6698d ago

CeruleanSky, the only thing more idiotic than your first post was your second one. Nuff said.

This game looks really good, if you look REALLY close, BUT REally close you will see that... there is no difference at all.

Enjoy this great game on whichever console you have.

kevoncox6698d ago

Games built for the ps3 up look identicle on 360.

Games built for the 360 look worst on ps3...

Wow...

Tru_Blu6697d ago

You forgot:

Games built for the PS3 only look best

i'm getting some other game, definitely not this

jackdoe6698d ago

DMC4 looks to offer the same old gameplay as DMC3 and DMC has always, and will always be a niche franchise. I'm holding off for a demo, but I know plenty of people that don't want to play as an emo, metrosexual demon hunter with antiquated gameplay. I personally might, as I am a fan of the series. But DMC is one of those series where you can feel the Japanese stamp on it. I have no problem with that, but again, others do. Which is why I don't see DMC4 selling like gangbusters in the US.

Relcom6698d ago

CVG doesn't have a problem with copyright protection apparently. Take a note Gametrailers.

Blademask6698d ago

Noticed they managed to use the best specs for both systems. gametrailers is a joke.

NewScratch6698d ago

what would the process need to be for the n4g community to drive some sort of "Official Video Comparison?"

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle22d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7722d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7731d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga31d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199230d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga30d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman30d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger30d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box31d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion30d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7231d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7530d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit30d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14931d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7731d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
