Devil May Cry 4: Side-by-side analysis reveals few differences

A couple weeks ago, we ran a preview of Devil May Cry 4 that mentioned offhandedly that the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game, based on our brief time with them, looked and played identically. Unsurprisingly, this prompted a few readers to crawl slowly out of the woodwork, chanting in arcane rhythms about "framerate" and "processing power" and "memory" and generally calling bullshit on our assertion.

Agreed the ps3 is the superior version, the xbots are just confused they will get help soon enough by a doctor

TANOD6690d ago

so GR comparisons should have to be approved

Just because GR says that PS3 version looks a tad better doesnt mean that it wouldnt have to be approved at N4G

n_n6690d ago

why does this even matter... just get it for your platform and enjoy the dam game already...

Mikey_Gee6690d ago (Edited 6690d ago )

.. no, I think you are confused. That would mean the superior version is HEAD AND SHOULDER better than the competition. It is been said over and over and over ... the difference is TEENY TINY "AT BEST" or as the video creators would say .. "barely noticeable"

So from that, it is easy to see "YOU" are the "Confused" individual.

Get over yourself you fanboy.

mikeslemonade6689d ago

I think it's safe to say that DMC4 doesn't push either system. The reason there's better textures is because it's less compressed on PS3. This game is 720p, the enviroments aren't that large, the graphics are better than NG2, but that's not saying much. The earlier levels are confined maybe in the later levels the 360 will chug a little because in Burnout if you boost through a straight away it will chug.

I am putting a stop to this comparison crap. they are both the same. accept it.

TANOD6690d ago

Then why not GR comparisons

GR is a bigger gaming website than GT and is also more reliable

Unlike GT which doesnt turn on FULL RANGE RGB mode on PS3 while doing comparisons

two BOTS after the news since it SAYS that X360 version is a TAD inferior

WHAT A SHAME that these people are REPORTING COMPARISONS done by one of the biggest gaming websites ---Games Radar

@POG

shut up .

You will be reported for REPORTING an ARTICLE BY GAMESRADAR

shut up u POG

IT is not JUST AN OPINION BUT A VALID COMPARISON DONE BY ONE OF THE BIGGEST FAMING WEBSITES

If you REPORT THE STORY then YOU WILL BE REPORTED TO THE ADMIN

@super saiyyan

RSX is also more powerful than XENOS (an r420 based card)

RSX has access to XDR at 3.2ghz which makes a huge difference

X360 cant even output 1080p NATIVELY

PS3 has 23 1080p NATIVE games

eg RR7 and NGS ran at full NATIVE HD @1080p @ 60FPS ----something the x360 will never be able to achieve .

UNCHARTED murders all X360 games including the upcoming ones in terms of Graphics and AI

You would need 10 XENON to implement AI algorithms of UNCHARTED on X360

I approved it to see the reaction that you had just now! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

Mikey_Gee6690d ago

Um, you may want to research that.

I am not trying to sound like a 360 fanboy, but in reality I will have my PS3 on the 25th.

I just hate when fanboys (from both camps) talk from their aZZ just to try to crap on the other. Get your facts straight or refrain from posting.

power of Green 6690d ago (Edited 6690d ago )

The the footage is too blocky the charactors cape is made up of blocks for crying out loud. lol.

We don't know what a Sony fanboy will try so we must believe the first video that was clearly showing us how it really was. No one needs to see some block bullshit footage with a fanboy opinion attached.

EDIT

HERE IS SOME PICS FROM THE ORIGINAL VIDEO, #8 IS CORRECT THE PS3 COULD HAVE BEEN HOLDING BACK THE 360 VERSION SO THE DEVS COULD MATCH BOTH VERSIONS TO MAKE SONY FANBOYS HAPPY

Mikey_Gee6690d ago

His red scaft in particular. And AA on the top edge of the barrel of his gun. Details on the buttons on his coat.

brooklyn1276685d ago

1up.com says the ps3 version looks and plays better also.plus less loading time and full 5.1pcm surround sound beat that,and no screen tearing like the xbox360 version.

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

ABizzel1365d 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)

Vits365d ago

Well, it worked.

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

Pyrofire95364d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic364d ago (Edited 364d 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.

lellkay365d ago

DMC2 anywhere but last is crazy. Awful list overall.

BlaqMagiq1365d 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.

Flenter365d ago

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

fsfsxii365d ago (Edited 365d ago )

Why is DmC last? Genuinely curious.

lellkay365d ago (Edited 365d ago )

Dmc is far superior to DMC2 come on

generic-user-name365d 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."

VersusDMC726d ago

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

VersusDMC726d 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.

Exvalos726d ago

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

Cacabunga725d 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

Friendlygamer726d 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

monkey602726d ago (Edited 726d 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_Suzumiya726d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde726d 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

SeTTriP726d 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.

Chocoburger804d ago

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.

Aaroncls7804d 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.

Sephiroushin803d ago (Edited 803d 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.
