Devil May Cry 4

PS3 being a "better machine" doesn't make it a better console does it? This is where everybody is getting confused.

"BUT THE TECH SPECS!". so what? If you do shit all with them, what's the point? There are Sega Master System (Genesis) games that I'd enjoy playing more than Devil May Cry 4. If the PS3 is the most powerful console ever, but has no games you enjoy, are you doing to sit in your room enjoying how powerful it is? I'd hope not. That's not being a "gamer".

Getting excited for the fourth installment of a series that has all the variation of a Linkin Park album isn't anything to be proud of. A game that is essentially 3D Castlevania, which was also already done by Nintendo.

Jump off your fanboy box and then MAYBE we'll take you seriously.

lol.

Microsoft 1 year warranty >>> faulty 360s.

Owners of 2005 360s get warranty for life.

Now what?

Oh yeah...for being such a vastly superior technological marvel the PS3 still couldn't show prettier games than the 360.

Now take into consideration how the original X-box made the PS2 games look like crap when it came out...

Something's fishy. Could it be that it is not as POWERFUL OMG as we were lead to believe? Sony is the king of hype...and unfortunately for them gamers are beginning to see that.

Why are you so hung up on things being pretty and making other games look crap?

When did it honestly stop becoming about how good the games are, and when did the criteria for a game being good become about graphics more than gameplay?

As technology advances, graphics advance. Graphics can add atmosphere, but you see, it's a vicious circle. The more "gamers" become obsessed with stats and graphics, and the more stats and graphics become factors in the consumer's decision to buy a console, the more these corporations will focus on selling that to you, rather than "We've got great games.".

For the record, I got an Xbox on release day, I bought four games for it...ever. It was the single worst purchase I've ever made, it was such a piece of shit. Graphics couldn't save it.

Yeah, I stayed away from the Original Xbox.

Horrible Library.

Anyway yeah....I remember when Devil May Cry first came out for the Playstation 2 and I actually wanted to play it.

At the time it was either that or Final Fantasy X, I chose Final Fantasy X. I feel comfortable in my choice back then but I still would have liked to have gotten into the Devil May Cry Series.

I do not take graphics over gameplay.

Why do I keep mentioning graphics? Because it does prove a machine's power.

I brought the Xbox to PS3 comparison to note how the Xbox succesfully showed it's hardware superiority from day 1. Something the PS3 even now hasn't been able to do.

I honestly don't care if you bought an X-box and if you liked it or not. It's irrelevant to the point I am trying to make.

The Xbox 360 did not show "it's hardware superiority" from day one actually.

It takes time for developers to learn a new console and to develop top notch games. The Xbox 360 is just moving to that next level and really showing us what it can do.

And the Playstation 3 may not better in the graphics department than Xbox 360, it's basically showing graphics that look exactly like the Xbox360 in some cases, but that's when comparing it with the Xbox 360.

When the Xbox360 first came out, there was nothing to compare it to, so that's really not at all fair.

Besides, that new racing game on the Playstation Three looks pretty good.

Actually what the 360 didn't show was breathtaking next-gen stuff, but it did show hardware superiority.

Unless you're one of those fools who stupidly claimed DOA4 looked the same as DOAUltimate.

Let's cool it with the potential name calling shall we.

And proving a machine's power proves what, in relation to how enjoyable the games are? In case you forgot, enjoyability is the reason games exist.

My point was irrelevant to yours? Yours is irrelevant to gaming.

Name calling? I called them fools, and since you have stated you haven't played either game that doesn't make you a stupid fool. Meaning I never insulted you, or anything.

Now on to topic people claimed DOA4 looked the same as DOA2Ultimate for the X-box until they saw the game for themselves and realized what they were saying was shit.

Weren't we talking about the PS3's superior hardware? That is the reason I mentioned graphics.

Graphics being irrelevant to gaming doesn't make sense at all. Please don't try too hard to look like the superior gamer. Hmm wait go ahead, I don't care.

Hey, exactly what does this whole discussion have to do with DMC4?

Absolutely nothing. So drop it and get back on topic.

So, you seen the new move they've added? It'll surely make for a riveting experience.

For me replacing Dante as the main character takes away from the experience, as he is pretty much the brand. Also if your going to replace him, replace him with someone who looks a bit different at least.

They are pulling off a MGS2 Sons of Liberty, but at least we were told before hand.

This is the smartest post so far.

Capcom can really be dumb sometimes

What is the world coming to?...

Dante was replaced because he was over exposed. He's already starred in five games, give the guy a break ! He'll more then likely be playable in 4 anyway at soem point or another.

Also I LIKE Nero , he's new enough that the producers can get away with the Devil Bringer (his arm) and not f*ck up Dantes abilities royally. Plus it'll be nice to play on the (reasonably) human side of the hunter equation. I felt kinda disappointed in DMC 3 : SE having heard that their may have been a Lady mode as well as a Vergil one. So playing a (mostly) human should be a reasonably new experience , at least in this series of games.

Around the time the Super Nintendo and the Genesis waged war, is when it started. Both systems advertised their graphically superior products.

But really, you can blame more over Xbox, that whole system was a celebration of power of substance.

Haha, and there's people signing this shit, what a joke.
