Devil May Cry 4 started life on PC, not PS3

It's time to lay some truth down about Devil May Cry 4. Although it was originally planned as a PS3 exclusive, some may find it startling that development wasn't even started using any PS3-related equipment. Development began and grew using a PC engine.

Gaming news is slow this time of year, so all the sites are scrambling.
How about this, lets talk about the GAMES themselves, I know I know crazy idea huh

Multigamer6659d ago

look at the fan girls trying to report this story

MK_Red6659d ago

If PC was the start, then why was the game first footage shown and demo was on PS3? And why they haven't shown a single bit of PC version? Rather strange.

RadientFlux6659d ago

I remember reading that every Capcom game (this generation) starts the development process on a PC and then moved over to the selected console.

BenzMoney6659d ago

Remember not more than 18 months ago - lots of developers were still having problems getting PS3 dev kits from Sony. Capcom knew they were going to make DMC4, so maybe they felt like getting a jump start on it by beginning development on PC to port later to PS3. This doesn't sound suspicious or unreasonable to me at all.

Just because the "PC Version" wasn't shown, doesn't mean this isn't true. A game can start development on a PC with no intention of it actually ever being a PC game - particularly if the developer doesn't have ready access to dev kits yet.

MK_Red6659d ago

Thanks for the comments and info :)
Still, If Capcom indeed starts on PC, why didn't they:
1.Make Dead Rising for PC? (Unlike DMC4 and Lost Planet)
2.Why haven't they shown anything from it? (All videos and previews are from PS3 and 360 versions)

BenzMoney6659d ago

..like I said - they might not have been planning to release the game on PC at all. They might have just *started* development there while waiting for the dev kits so they could then resume development on PS3 and other consoles.

To be clear, I'll repeat myself - they may have just STARTED development on PC with *no intention* of ever releasing a final version on PC, but just to get a head start so they had something to port over to the consoles when it became feasible to do so (ie: when they got their dev kits). At that point in time, development on PC would've stopped.

Makes perfect sense to me.

jackdoe6659d ago (Edited 6659d ago )

That's pretty much all developement. Start on the PC and then move it over to console. Squeenix's white engine did the same thing. It was months ago that Squeenix finally brought over the engine to the PS3.

all i know is this game is gona kick ass on both formats.

SIX6659d ago

Then I think it can be said that it started on the 360 because designing on a PC is identical to designing on the 360.

DMC2 ranked 2nd and also DmC ranked 3rd?
What a load of BS!

ABizzel1324d ago

IMO

6. DMC2 6/10
5. DMC4 7.5/10 (Hated Nero, repeat bosses, Dante was the saving grace but only about half the game)
4. DmC 7.5/10 (solid overall, some great ideas, meh story, dialog sucked, and the director almost killed DMC)
3. DMC1 8.5/10 (all around solid)
2. DMC5 9/10 (carried by Dante & Nero gameplay, I didn’t like V’s, Nero’s better but still not a fan)
1. DCM3 10/10 (chef’s kiss)

Vits324d ago

Well, it worked.

This nothingburger of a opinion article got a lot of views and comments.

Pyrofire95324d ago

WHAT!? who in their right mind would put 2 near the top (not at the bottom) unironically?
I think all of them are worth playing in their own right honestly, except 2 unless you REALLY want to experience the whole series.

FinalFantasyFanatic323d ago (Edited 323d ago )

I honestly don't know what the author was smoking, personally I'd rank DMC3 as no.1, maybe DMC5 as second, DMC1 as third, DMC4 as fourth, and DMC as fifth and DMC2 last. such a bizarre list, mybe the author just has strange taste.

lellkay324d ago

DMC2 anywhere but last is crazy. Awful list overall.

BlaqMagiq1324d ago

"Devil May Cry 2 isn’t trash. It’s just misunderstood by a fanbase that doesn’t like change."

This and putting DMC 2 number 2 is all I need to ignore this ranking. DMC2 is absolute trash and it's clear this person doesn't understand exactly why.

Flenter324d ago

For me: 3,1,5,4,2 and then .....Dmc

fsfsxii324d ago (Edited 324d ago )

Why is DmC last? Genuinely curious.

lellkay324d ago (Edited 324d ago )

Dmc is far superior to DMC2 come on

generic-user-name324d ago

"almost 20-year-old series"

It's 24 years old.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

VersusDMC686d ago

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC686d ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos685d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga685d ago

Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5

2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me

Friendlygamer686d ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey602686d ago (Edited 686d ago )

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya686d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde686d ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP685d ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.

Bless the adorably all digital future! When it comes to PC games its not as big of an issue because there should always be another way to access single player games, but still, I hate to see anything get delisted.

Aaroncls7763d ago

Well, DMC4 special edition has a lot of issues to run from Steam.
I have to get a modded executable to even be able to run the game on Windows 10.
Not sure if it is because the game runs in DirectX10 or what, but it sucks they have not even tried to fix it.

Sephiroushin762d ago (Edited 762d ago )

DMC4 Special Edition is not delisted, it was just the standard version, it has nothing to do with issues of performance or anything alike. Its just that Capcom probably do not want to sell the standard version, neither the standalone DMC3 version.
