DMC4 To Be Downgraded....

[Swifty]

for Its Impending Multi-Platform Release...

Capcom revealed new details on its PS3/Xbox 360 action game Devil May Cry 4:

The game will run at 60 fps constantly.
The camera angles will be more film-like
New characters can be unlocked after clearing the game
Protagonist Nero's weapon Devil Bringer will not be used heavily
Dante will play differently from Nero, he will possess the four battle styles like in DMC3: Swordsmaster, Gunslinger, Royal Guard and Trickster.
The relationship between Nero and Dante will be the focus point in this game and future series
The frost enemies will become one of the major enemies, they can disappear and emerge again, and attack in groups

I remember articles and interviews when the game was still exclusive saying they had Big plans for Nero's Devil Bringer that could only be done on the PS3 (Maybe Sixaxis related?) yet now that the the game is going multi it seems that the DB is no longer a major factor in the game.

I'll get the official press release shortly, but for now this is a great shame that they've had to cut things out for the 360 release...

sure 360 gamers must be revelling in the fact they'll be getting DMC4 and no doubt it will be a great game, but it's just it would have been better if it stayed an exclusive...

ahh well

Fook, the sky is falling in. Its hardly concrete evidence that they are changing anything to make it fit the 360.

If the Devil Bringer can be used at all in the 360 version, doesn't that suggest that it isn't SixAxis related?

yes but that doesn't mean that they may try to make the weapon SIXAXS orrientated for the PS3 version and just controller via buttons for the 360 version!

[Blaze Lord]

Well then if that's the case, don't you have absolutely nothing to gripe about?

[Tobes]

I don't get what I am reading here :s

[Blaze Lord]

Supposedly the Devil Bringer was gonna be this amazing thing that only the PS3 can do (Although, when Capcom said that, they were comparing the PS3 to last-gen consoles, they didn't mention or imply the 360 at all). So now that Vamp sees that the Devil Bringer won't be a huge thing, he think it's because they had to take stuff out of the game in order to make it play on the 360.

Personally, I suspect the Devil Bringer is just a very overpowered weapon, that they don't want you to be able to over-use, and they're just clarifying that it won't be your staple weapon. That they would've said the same thing even if it was a PS3 exclusive.

[Tobes]

Right so basically this thread is pointless as its speculation from Lee?

Then again I suppose the thread title did have "..." on the end. I was expecting something a little more interesting tbh though.

[Blaze Lord]

It's speculation by everybody. I say that they were always going to have the DB be not a mainstay weapon because they said it would give you "non-stop combos," which seems like more of a special circumstance kind of weapon.

Its in the correct thread this time. Everyone makes mistakes :zip:. I've had a busy day what can I say :p.

I've found an informative post on another forum :zip: about DMC4. Very good post I must say so.

"Basic Controls:

Left Analogue Stick = Movement
Right Analogue Stick = Camera Control
R1 = Lock On
R2 = -------
L1 = -------
L2 = -------
Select = Taunt
Start = Pause
Triangle = Sword
Square = Gun
X = Jump
O = Devil Bringer"

No Six-Axis. And I can't really believe that the Bringer couldn't be done on the 360 because of graphics, or at least, not to the point of half-removing it from the game. So, uh. Looks like no one loses by the game not being exclusive.

[mjmaskrey]

Heard the same ---- from thousands of PS3 owners all over the net...boo hoo a game's going multi-platform so we need to get some pre-emptive defense in place for when the PS3 game isn't really that great.......'it's the 360's fault, the game had to be downgraded/nerfed for other platforms as they're not as good as the PS3'

Yawn.

The game appeared to be downgraded for PS3 anyway, even whilst exclusive....it was missing 60 more FPS and the 4th D was nowhere to be seen!

:)

I'm baffled! Just seem to be jumping to conclusions about why they have removed the weapon from the game and similar to Blaze Lord I can't see it's any other reason that "it didn't fit the biscuit".

There would be no reason graphically or CPU Power wise that the Weapon would have to be removed because the Xbox 360 couldn't handle it.

[Tomshi]

The 360 seems to be able to handle all games I have played perfectly.

So am I reading another pointless post, Is this game on the 360 going to be downgraded in the graphics or gameplay part?.

[Blaze Lord]

Probably not.

[Tomshi]

Well there you go = Pointless Post...

[Swifty]

Well there you go = Pointless Post...

yeeesh whatever happened to a discussion, so nothings been confirmed why could we not simply have a discussion about the various aspects of the intial post...

seriously its people like you Tomshi that are a cancer on these here forums...

[Tomshi]

It is pointless if you think about it, DMC Downgraded. Now what you posted at the top is really more of a description of the game rather than a statement saying what has been downgraded. People like me. Pffftt!....

[Dcontrol]

If you think its a pointless thread then why waste your time posting about why it is pointless? I'm not having a go at you, I just find it weird that if you thought it was pointless then you wouldn't bother replying, if I'm making any sense here? :). If you want information on the game see the link in post 10 ;).

D, that dude in your avatar is bad ass! Where's it from?

D, that dude in your avatar is bad ass! Where's it from?

I made it in Photoshop can you believe it! Did some reading on some tutorials and that. Its from Killzone 2 though the character. If you want it let me know I'll pm it to you or I can make you one as well :). Saying that you could probably right click, save as on it.

[Killer 57]

Oh...Killzone...I'll pass. Nice job anyway.

[Tomshi]

I think its quite funny how he reacts to what I say. Yes Im A ---- I know heard this a-plenty.

[Tomshi]

Like the avatar BTW :)
