Devil May Cry 4 coming to PC, 360, and PS3
 

Confirmed on the Capcom site.

Another blow for the diminishing line of PS3 exclusives, but really, just a smart and completely obvious business decision by Capcom. I wonder if the PC version will get games for windows branding, achievement points, and 360 controller support? ;)

Can't read the site, but I'm not surprised. I've been thinking this would happen if Capcom's other titles did well enough on the 360.

Check out the VGTalk homepage :-)

Sorry it says:

Decision made to sell Capcom Devil May Cry 4 for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, PC media platforms!

tekken 6 and metal gear 4 anyone? :)

Btw, I notice some bargain site is squatting on the vgtalk domain (well maybe they had it first). Obviously, videogametalk works, but it makes the vgtalk abbreviation not 100% ideal :).

Whoa, that's sort of a shocker since that's a Japanese game and was a big PS2 exclusive (even though I never really cared much for the series). I wonder if it'll be PS3 exclusive for a while the way Virtua Fighter 5 currently is, or if it'll come out simultaneously like GTA 4.

edit : Guess it's simultaneous. Capcom must be really happy with sales of Lost Planet and Dead Rising. Good for the 360!

You actually mean Metal Gear 6. There were two Metal Gear games long before the "Solid" series. Sorry for nitpicking, but it always drives me up a wall when people act like the two older games don't exist. I have seen countless mentions of Metal Gear 2 on other forums where the person actually means Metal Gear Solid 2 and not the actual Metal Gear 2 from the early 90s. :hairpull:

Another big blow to Sony.

They're really in trouble imo.

mod edit: added 3 characters to prevent people thinking it's a threadcrap.

My god. How many games does this make now? And I think we can all agree this is, by far, the biggest loss they've had yet (some might argue GTA, but those did all come out on Xbox eventually).

GTA definitely moved more consoles than DMC though. Just comparing the number of copies of GTA sold on PS2, compared to DMC tells the story. DMC has still been a signature Sony franchise though.

Rumor is Capcom will also be launching a trilogy set, like the PS2 version, for 360 owners.

Games go where the sales potential lye, period.*



*Period does not apply to cases of huge amounts of cash handed over for exclusivity.

Wow, big news for Microsoft, but I still haven't played past the second level of DMC 1. This has been the speculation for a while since Capcom's has done so well on the 360.

I don't think DMC is a system seller though.

I really wanted this for PS2 but never picked it up. I'd probably pick something like this up for 360 though. I haven't played this series at all, but i've really been wanting to. Good news! Go XBox!

Devil May Cry Triology Set on XBOX 360 is real deal. Possible upgrade graphics Plus extra is nice and MSRP around $30 or $40 ish :)

Sweet, the only reason I'd contemplate getting a PS3 is now gone. I love the whole series, even 2

Regardless if DMC is a system seller or not, it's a huge coup for Microsoft. They continue to make "exclusives" non exclusive anymore.

My point was that GTA was never truly exclusive, since every single one came out on the original Xbox, and everyone knew GTA would come out on the 360, even if the PS3 had an exclusivity period. But DMC was one of those titles that was completely associated with the Playstation name. That's the real damage. If DMC, an established Playstation exclusive title, can go neutral, what's next? This is the first big domino that could push other developers to go neutral as well. And the more exclusives Sony lose, the worse they do, because their system is $200 more than their competition.

So <i>really</i>, what's left for HUGE exclusives? Tekken, Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, God of War... Any others?

I liked the 1st DMC game but never finished it so this is cool. :up:

Maybe we'll see some of the "Onimusha" games on the 360...

Not a big surprise, but it's good to finally have the official announcement. This just give me yet another reason to put off buying a PS3 - now I'm just waiting for the announcement about MGS4 going multi-platform.

It looks like services and functionality are the "exclusives" of the future. Each system will have it's first party games, but the real draws for each system will be the perks. Internet TV on 360, crazy Wii controls, that Home thing on PS3... the days of buying a system to be able to play one certain game are gone.

Possible MGS 4 will be on XBOX 360 and same as Soul Calibur 4. Tekken 6 is unknow ?? Also, I can't wait to see Killer Instint 3 on XBOX 360 :)

well, if Soul Caliber 4 is online, I will purchase whatever system necessary...


then leave my friends a memo that I will not be available for the next 6 months
