Devil May Cry on PS3 to feature exclusive content?

In this month's issue of Famitsu, a popular Japanese magazine, they reveal that Capcom will be including exclusive features in the PS3 version of Devil May Cry 4. Some of these new features include; 5.1 LPCM audio, PSN support, and the option to install data to the hard drive. Apparently though, game data takes up 5GB of storage, but on the bright side of things, it removes all load times in the game.

lynx1halo6699d ago (Edited 6699d ago )

thats all right with me .....

@KidMakeshift

True ..True......that is the only thing about the PS3 i could do without is the download times.......I mean is it really necessary to download a demo and then download it again to your PS3??(Hardware wise I know it is but still)

KidMakeshift6699d ago

Yeah, but think about how long that install is going to take. Why are PS3 installs so slow?

Gamersyde has some new videos of DMC4

Azures6699d ago

It won't take that long. Ninja Gaiden did something similar.

Kleptic6699d ago

well if it makes as big of a difference after the install as it did for UT3...I am all for it...UT3 is officially the only console UE3 based game that no longer has "real time texture loading", as long as you use the install game utility (it has just as much texture pop in as any other UE3 game if you don't)...I absolutely despised that ugly crap in Vegas and Gears...and apparently ME has it worse than most UE3 games, although I haven't noticed it nearly as much as I did with the Gears cutscenes...

oh well though...still not too interested in this game...GoW 3 has my interest as far as action games go...and 360 owners shouldn't care either, NG 2 will stomp this junker without a sweat...

KidMakeshift6699d ago

Yeah, UT3 for PS3 has been playing perfectly for me.

I don't get the user mod importing. It sound's complicated

marinelife96699d ago

Uncharted spoiled me with getting to play through an entire game without a single load time. All games from here on out should be that way no exceptions.

Hopefully GTAIV won't have load times.

Lifendz6699d ago

think about how long that install time is? Are you serious? Okay, here's what you do to resolve that, my little fanboy. I get the game, pop it in, install, and then...watch TV :O! Or maybe....go outside! Or perhaps use the bathroom. Whatever I decide to do I can find something to do while the game installs. And then, once the install is done, I get to play a seamless DMC which is something you xbots can't do because of no standard hard drive. lol@you

KidMakeshift6699d ago (Edited 6699d ago )

Uh, it's not like we're mindless drones blankly staring at our tv in anticipation of the install completion screen. I was simply stating that the PS3 takes a ridiculous time to install. It is a "game" console after all, right? The last thing a person wants to do when they get a new game is waiting a half hour for it to install or receive a patch. Sony needs to find a way to zip install components faster.

So Lifendz, why don't you go eat a d*ck and come back when you actually have something to say

Texas GMR6699d ago

Cool. That's why MS should have put a hard drive into every 360.

TheXgamerLive6699d ago

Who cares about that, it's no problem on the faster 360.

This isn't really a big think at all to me. I just hope the game is good but the more I see of it the less I think of it.

spec_ops_comm6698d ago (Edited 6698d ago )

LOL!

Sure, you wouldn't care about a 10 second load time once, but what happens if it occurs before every cutscene, level change, boss battle, etc..???

I have never met a gamer before who didn't care about load times. Next to poor gameplay itself, load times are one of the biggest gaming pet peeves of all time.

TheXgamerLive6698d ago

I mean as long as there not as bad as the ones in the Harry Potter games, now those suck.

Rikitatsu6699d ago

PSN Support ? Does that means DMC4 won't Support XBL ?

Anyway No Load times is great !!!

toughNAME6699d ago

every 360 game supports LIVE

TANOD6699d ago

Many ps3 games have 0 load times ---that includes UNCHRATED too ---THE BEST LOOKING GAME OF ALL TIME (till date)

Kleptic6699d ago

yeah 360 games have to support live in some ways as part of a licensing agreement...

that doesn't mean it will have online play or anything...just that achievements and stuff have to be loaded into XBL as far as I know...

the article is sort of misleading...does this mean the PSN will support additional DLC or something?...and XBL won't?...thats hardly exclusive content if it just means it load rewards into Home or whatever...it has to support achievements in order to be on the 360...so whatever...the HDD thing is cool though...suprising though that they don't incorporate that option on the 360 also...if the 360 owner has an HDD, then install...if you were are one of the chumps that uses those overpriced memory packs...get a new hobby...

KrazyKoala6699d ago

CRYSIS is the best looking game. Uncharted looks great but don't forget PC games pwn everything else graphically.

Blademask6699d ago (Edited 6699d ago )

It will be interesting to see of the PS3 version REALLY has the option to utilize the HDD. Unreal already has this option. There are still loading times though, so not sure what the point of that was.

I think this one is still a rumor, unless anyone has scanned famitsu? I think this is the same RUMOR from the NEOGAF forums... PSU is the same people that said GT5 had damage.

Take this one very lightly.

unlimited6699d ago

Most of all PS3 games already taking advantage of the hard drive so why wouldn't this game would be any different.

Kleptic6699d ago

the HDD install option on UT3 makes map loading marginally faster overall...but more importantly, for me at least, almost completely cures the texture loading problems that every console UE3 game has had so far (PCs didn't have it obviously, because of the HDD...this is the first PS3 UE3 based game to take advantage of it...Vegas didn't...and "popped" just as bad as Gears)...

jackdoe6699d ago

Not a rumor. 1up got a near final build that allowed for installation. No load times after installation.

ravinash6698d ago

So if you don't want to sit and wait for it to install then you can jump right in.
otherwise, a little wait will reward you with seamless playing.

Spike476699d ago

it's gonna happen. Capcom already apologized to ps3 fans for not supporting them that much so exclusive content on ps3 is definetly possible.

Still, this game is'nt my cup of tea, I'm gonna buy HAZE instead.

eagle216699d ago

PS3 has best version with no load times. GTAIV PS3 has this too right? I think so.

actas1236699d ago

Man, I hope GTA IV won't have some size issues and long load times because its been developed for the 360 as well.. What the hick man, they should not have made GTA multi, xbox limitations (limited DVD size, no hard drive, slow... ) make games look bad and kill the potential in em.

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

ABizzel1379d 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)

Vits379d ago

Well, it worked.

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

Pyrofire95379d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic378d ago (Edited 378d 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.

lellkay379d ago

DMC2 anywhere but last is crazy. Awful list overall.

BlaqMagiq1379d 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.

Flenter379d ago

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

fsfsxii379d ago (Edited 379d ago )

Why is DmC last? Genuinely curious.

lellkay379d ago (Edited 379d ago )

Dmc is far superior to DMC2 come on

generic-user-name379d 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."

VersusDMC741d ago

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

VersusDMC741d 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.

Exvalos740d ago

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

Cacabunga740d 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

Friendlygamer741d 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

monkey602741d ago (Edited 741d 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_Suzumiya741d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde741d 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

SeTTriP740d 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.

Chocoburger818d 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.

Aaroncls7818d 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.

Sephiroushin817d ago (Edited 817d 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.
