Devil May Cry 4 represents a series evolution rather than anything truly new but for many, that will be more than enough to generate excitement - after all, it's one of the most stylish, intense combat action games around & to add to the anticipation there are 46 achievements with a total of 1000 points:
It seems like bundling games with consoles is a good idea these days (Look at the Wii and Wiisport in America, or Wiiplay and its extra controller). Well, Capcom wants to get a piece of it, and today, the boxart for the console bundle in Japan has been revealed. Now the white one looks sexy!
It's time to lay some truth down about Devil May Cry 4. Although it was originally planned as a PS3 exclusive, some may find it startling that development wasn't even started using any PS3-related equipment. Development began and grew using a PC engine.
Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today confirmed that owners of Sony Computer Entertainment's PLAYSTATION3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft will be able to experience Devil May Cry 4 early, thanks to the release of a playable demo. A free downloadable demo of the game will be available on the PLAYSTATIONStore and Xbox LIVE Marketplace in early 2008. Devil May Cry 4 has been rated M for Mature by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB).
