Devil May Cry 4 PC ALMOST Dated
We've already heard that Devil May Cry 4 is coming to PCs, but now we almost know when. This summer. Yes, that's as specific as Capcom is getting at the moment. In addition, a demo is promised and DMC4 PC will be sporting some new modes, too:
Turbo mode will turn-up the action to insane speeds, while Legendary Dark Knight Mode will harness advanced PC processing power and fill the screen with an unbelievable number of enemies for extra difficulty. Moreover, familiar enemies from the console versions will show-up in new locations in the PC version.I dunno. In the PC gaming world, "new modes" and "additional content" are beginning to feel more and more like a lame apology for showing up 2 hours late to a dinner party whilst reeking of Whopper Juniors. To read more about the menu, check out this press release: More »

Capcom dropped us a line late yesterday to let us know that the Xbox Live demo of Devil May Cry 4 reached one million downloads back on the 9th of February. This means that the demo averaged 25,000 downloads a day since its release on January 24th, making it one of the fastest downloads to reach the million mark in Xbox Live history, as well as the first demo released this year to reach such a lofty number. Now to see how many of those demo downloading peoples actually went out to the store and picked up the game. Me? I rented, skeptical that the game was simply more of the same. Enjoying it so far, but not quite "buy" enjoying it.

Frankenreview: Devil May Cry 4 (Xbox 360)
Remember the Devil May Cry series? It came on the scene as an almost slap in the face to the survival horror genre, offering a silver-haired character Dante that scoffed at the occasional monster and any bullet count under infinity.
But it's been 7 years since the first game's incarnation, and Dante has been subverted by a remarkably similar looking chap sporting a glowy blue arm. So how does the series hold up? Hit the jump for our Frankenreview of Devil May Cry 4—because the suspense is killing you.

DMC4 Takes 20 Minutes To Install, Worth It?
While most PS3 owners will be tempted to install Devil May Cry 4 to their hard drive, it's worth asking if there's much of a benefit. Why? The full 5GB install will take over 20 minutes. But the load times really aren't much faster than playing off of the disc, only gaining about a second in most situations over the 360 disc version.
However, without PS3 to PS3 comparisons we may be discounting the possibility that the Xbox 360 version has better disc load times than the PS3 version, so there could still be a considerable loading benefit for PS3 owners. Even for 2 second savings, I'd leave the game installing while I did something else.

Devil May Cry Demo Hits This Month?
The sharp eyes over at IGN have spotted what may be a juicy bit of news over on the Devil May Cry 4 fansite. If you click on the option to download a DMC4 widget, the site loads up an example picture which shows that the demo for the game will be hitting the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 on January 31.
Of course, as IGN also points out, this could just be bad placeholder text for the widget example. But with the game hitting just a week into February it doesn't seem like too far a stretch for that demo date to be right.

First Devil May Cry 4 Review
Sure, reviews don't really matter, do they? Some of you are going to pick up Devil May Cry 4 no matter what. The game's first review hits PSM3 magazine today. From the review:
Most games these days tend to hold your hand all the way through," says PSM3, adding "Devil May Cry is not like that. It'll throw a million demons at you because it wants to, put in half a dozen arbitrary fights in a 30-foot stretch of map, force you to survive for ages on a tiny sliver of health... and then give you a D at the end of the level because you weren't doing enough combos... Weirdest of all, the difficulty curve seems to peak in the middle of the game... There are bits in DMC4 that you'll absolutely love, and bits that you'll hate.
Sounds fun. Game drops January 31st in Japan, February elsewhere.

Xbox 360 Gets Its Own Devil May Cry 4 Afterthought Bundle
Xbox 360-only gamers coveting the recently announced PlayStation 3 bundle that packs in Capcom's Devil May Cry 4 in Japan can rest easy—you're getting your own barebones bundle, too!
No, there isn't some super cool Power Glove-esque Devil Bringer controller pack-in, nor is there a sweet limited Nero action figure bonus. Capcom couldn't even be bothered to throw in a t-shirt. It's just the console and the game. I suppose the custom cardboard box will appeal to some, but for 37,800 yen, I'd have expected at the very least a huggable Trish pillow.

"Easy To Move To The 360"
Once upon a time, Devil May Cry 4 was a PS3 exclusive. Now, it's not. Capcom is putting it on the PS3, the Xbox 360, PCs and cereal boxes if it could. But was it hard to move what was once a PS3 exclusive over to the 360? Nope! It was simple. DMC4 Hiroyuki Kobayashi explains:
It [the engine] is not a 360 engine. It's not an engine for the 360. It's the internal engine that we use at Capcom for next generation machines called the MT Framework [note: MT stands for multi-target]. That actually runs on PC. As you know, we did originally plan to have this title just on PS3, but actually the development was done on a PC, not on a particular console. So because it's all done on the PC... it makes it very easy to move it put it on the 360 and use the power of that machine, or to put it on the PS3 and use the power of that machine, each in different ways. It's really pretty easy to do it, developing it from this PC base.
It so easy that we really doubt we'll see Capcom exclusives outside of Wii and DS games. Porting those ain't so easy!

almost same
Once upon a time Devil May Cry 4 was pegged as PS3 exclusive. Then it wasn't, making the cross-platform jump to PC and Xbox 360. Still, the two console versions must be a little different, right? Nope! DMC4 producer says Hiroyuki Kobayashi points out:
So there you go. The version aren't just the same, they are "exactly the same." Which you buy will depend on which controller you prefer. So, what'll it be: SIXAXIS or 360 controller?

Difference in 360 and PS3 Devil May Cry 4? The Controller

The actual contents are exactly the same, but having said that, the feel of the controller may cause a slight difference.

Key Word for New DMC4 Screens? JUBBLIES.
Hmm. Well. Okay. Just so you know, I did not crop this pic! At all. This is an actual Devil May Cry 4 screenshot from the recent Leipzig trailer that Capcom set to actual websites. Hoping? Hoping that when Japanese gamers see this, they don't think PS3 or Xbox 360 (or PC, even!), but instead think damn, those buttons look really nice. That embroidery ain't half-bad, either. And the piping? WOW.

New DMC 4 Clip Available
A new Devil May Cry 4 video clip is available over at the Capcom website. Right now, it's looking kind of like a slot machine because the entire site has the word "new" blinking all over the place in red, all caps, but if you click on the "movies" section, you can watch some footage called "Dante's Gameplay". Basically it shows off Dante's weapon skills including combo moves. Actual game footage probably lasts less than 20 seconds, so you'll have try to keep those eyeballs open for the entire length of the video. More »

Capcom Responds To Angry Fanboy Mob
After denying rumors of a cross-platform port, Capcom finally announced that Devil May Cry 4 will be hitting the Xbox 360. PS3 diehards freaked and whipped up a bat-shit insane petition protesting the publisher's decision. To pacify the pissed, Capcom's Christian Svensson has this to say: More »

Petition Protesting Capcom's DMC4 Decision
Capcom how dare you! Why, you should've kept Devil May Cry 4 on the PS3. That way, Sony would sell more consoles. And if Sony sells more consoles, Sony makes more money. And if Sony makes more money, that's good for Capcom. Yup, that's the logic behind a petition lambasting the third party developer for deciding to make Devil May Cry 4 a cross platform title. From the petition (which over 2,000 people have signed): More »

Devil May Cry Art To Make You Cry (Or Not)
Capcom's releasing a Devil May Cry graphic file the day after Christmas. Besides featuring delicious cover art by Makoto Tsuchibayashi, the 144 page book is stuffed full of never-before-released production artwork. The book's available through Capcom's online shop (Japan only), but fingers gently crossed it will find its way elsewhere. That is, if you give a hoot about DMC. More »
