Capcom today confirmed that Devil May Cry 4 will be shown at this years Leipzig Games Convention. The game will be showcased on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but no PC version will be shown.
He was shown off a little at Comic Con, in a glass box tucked away in a corner, but here for the first time in all his full, girly-man glory, is Kotobukiya's Dante ARTFX statue. He stands 11" tall, and comes with interchangeable weapons so you can swap between Ebony, Ivory and Rebellion. See which goes best with his pout. Completists should note Dante's shifty brother Vigil will be the next in the series.
Speaking to SPOnG, Keiji "the Killa" Inafune (Head of Research & Development and Online Business at Capcom) explains the decision behind moving the Devil May Cry franchise to Xbox 360 rather than maintaining PlayStation exclusivity.
IGN reports that Capcom announced that a Devil May Cry 4 demo will be released for Xbox 360 sometime before the game is releasing. The demo that is shown at E3 is completely the same that was shown for the first time in April, so no real new footage of Devil May Cry 4 is expected.
Categorized on the Xbox Live Marketplace as "Stylish Action," new downloadable content has been released for Capcom's upcoming Devil May Cry 4. With the former PS3 exclusive DMC4 headed to the Xbox 360, there's a Xbox 360 Celebration Theme to "celebrate the impending release of Devil May Cry 4" on the Xbox 360.
Despite the early success of Fight Night Round 3 with Live Marketplace, developers still hadn't been fully sold on the whole downloadable demo idea last E3. Not the case this year, the Hedgehog's got ears on a massive list of demos that'll be landing on Live next week. Fore sure are Ace Combat 6, Blue Dragon, and Mercenaries 2, quite possible are Devil May Cry 4, Tom Clancy's Endwar, and Halo 3 single player demo!!!
During Capcom's 2007 Fiscal Year results meeting Kazuhiko Abe, Director and Managing Corporate Officer, mentioned in his keynote speech Devil May Cry 4 is projected to sell 1.8 million copies worldwide.
Game Informer Magazine broke the first news on Devil May Cry 4 almost a year ago, and fans of the series are clamoring for any new information about the game. Unfortunately, even with E3 approaching, Producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi and the DMC team are remaining tight-lipped. However, we're quite impatient, so we've managed to get a number of tidbits that you may not know about the game from Capcom and Kobayashi-san himself.
Issue 7 of 360Zine, the free Xbox 360 magazine, is available for download and has an in-depth feature on the Halo 3 beta and what they, and a selection of Halo 3 fans, think of the new game so far. Without the rush of getting a review on a website, they've had the time to play the beta thoroughly and find out exactly how balanced the new weapons and maps are. The issue also includes GTA IV, Project Gotham 4, Devil May Cry 4, Call of Duty 4, Forza 2, Shadowrun and DiRT among others.
Devil May Cry 4 producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi has at last spoken out following Capcom's decision to make its big PS3 exclusive multiplatform. Fittingly, Famitsu's all Xbox 360 publication, Famitsu Xbox 360, was the recipient of Kobayashi's most recent comments on the game.
Bad news for Devil May Cry fans. The release date for Devil May Cry 4 has been pushed back into 2008. Signs that this might be the case arose on 1up's write up of Devil May Cry 4 - at the top of the page was the date 1/15/2008. Of course this was no confirmation, especially since Capcom have been providing playable demos to gaming websites and events alike. Yet these demos were on the game's original platform - the Playstation 3...
With Sony's Gamer Day coming up this Thursday, PSU contacted Capcom to see if they had anything special planned for the event. They confirmed that there will be a playable demo and new trailers shown at both Sony's Gamer Day and also at E3 later this year.
Devil May Cry 4 producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi has said that Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game will be "pretty much identical".
The hands on report from PSM3 UK made note that the PS3 version was running at 1080p resolution at of course, 60 fps.
