Devil May Cry 4 no longer Ps3 exclusive.

http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/774/774093p1.html

The one game most assumed would not go multi-platform has? What has next-gen done... Though this isn't just a Sony thing. The only franchise you'll never see on another system is Halo. Games just cost too much.

... unless MS uses some of its ****loads of cash to buy true exclusivity. But even then it will most likely be timed.

Now all it takes is metal gear and PS3 will really be in the ****ter.

It still has Home and Littlebigplanet. I'd buy a PS3 for both.

Most people wouldn't. I was planing to get a PS3 way down the line, but I'm very slowly starting to think of getting a 360 instead, and with DMC4 going over and it being one of my favorite series, it's only making me want to get a 360 even more now.

It's good to see that, if the philosophy that earned sony so much developer support in the last two generations must continue, it is beginning to tighten a vice around their tender regions now. Software-makers want to develop for the system with the most userbase, hmm? Doesn't look like the ps3's going to be there anytime soon.

Clearly, sir, you are not on the ball.

They want to develop for all systems. It's cheaper, and it's the current trend that big third-party publishers are going towards. Since the market isn't made up of tiny Microsoft and Nintendo slices with a giant Sony slice anymore, with more competition in this gen than the last and the rising cost of development, it's more cost-effective to make one game and then port it to all three as there isn't a PS2-like monster that people need to develop for.

Smaller developers will not be able to afford development costs for all three consoles in the first place, however. Instead, a lot of these will see their talents shifted to Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network. They're the best way to bring in creative, small developers so far into the console market.

I guess I just didn't care much about GDC. Read up on them and... eh, not that excited, but I'm not huge on Miis or Achievements. I'm pretty effin' stoked that DMC's coming to 360, though. Between that and Virtua Fighter that leaves... well, zero games I care about on PS3! Rad.

YES

Now Sony is done.

Now the PS3 fanboys will shift from "YEAH WE'RE GETTING DMC4 AND YOU'RE NOT IN YOUR FACE FAGGOTS" to "Eh, DMC4 won't be that awesome anyways."

I'd say that all this does is postpone my purchase of a PS3 until six months or so after MGS4 is released. And the 360 got a little cooler. I don't like third person action games on Xbox pads, though. :(

I LOVE IT! DOWN WITH THE PS3!

You're all faggots. I never did understand the "down with sony" ****.

It's because last gen Sony fanboys kept trolling the hell out of GCN and XBox players. Now that Sony is flopping around Nintendo/XBox fanboys want to get some revenge.

Yeah, that's kinda different than "lol down with sony"

THANK YOU ***, oh and capcom. I've been hopign for this for some time. I thought since there had been some capcom games on the 360 (Lost Planet, Dead Rising, etc.) that maybe, not on release date, but sometime later they would make a version for 360.

I'm no real fanboy, I just find Sony's arrogance and ego displayed by their spokesmen annoying as hell. Because of this, I take great pleasure in watching them lose their limbs while still pretending as if nothing's wrong.

Ps3 will make a huge rebound soon enough. Nothin to **** ur pants over

Well, there goes one of my reasons for purchasing my PS3. I'm not too worried though, I've got other great games that are coming. Metal Gear, Ratchet and Clank, and many others.

Attack of the Show did a "the loop" on this subject, and if CMC is no longer exsclusive it looks like, there'd going to be even more non-exclusives to Sony :(.

OH YEAAAA!!! Im so happy, i want to cry! DMC is my favorite series. I was crushed to find out that DMC4 was PS3 exclusive, because, well the PS3 is way to overpriced and really not that great. But since its comming out for the 360 I can continue on with the DMC trilogy!! W00T!!!!

I dont see why they're gonna have dmc and mgs, 2 of there best game franchises go to xbox, while Microsoft wont let ps3 have halo. Well thats is basically the only good game franchise they have besides GOW.

I heard that Nintendo is looking to trade Mario once his $33.4 million contract is up for reconsideration next year, as well as two minor leaguers for Ratchet, Jak and Sly. However, Mario needs to make a big showing with the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy before Sony is seriously interested in the trade. With Mario, Sony can add another extremely recognizable face to their lineup along with Kratos for a dangerous one-two punch in the middle of the order. On the other hand, Nintendo can expand its roster with three proven, rising and solid superstars in Ratchet and co. Still no word on when Duke will make a comeback... or where.

Should be interesting next season, folks.

wow if mario goes. Nintendo is done for.

Capcom and Konami are swapping MegaMan and Metal Gear franchises with each other. True story.

Who cares. There's only, like, one good Mario game for every ten that come out now.

Hell, I've been hearing a ****load of buzz about FF13 going multiplatform. If that goes, MGS4 is really all they have left. =/

you never answered his other question...what's it like to be rich?

I have 2 spare posts for some reason. I feel spending one of them here to laugh at Sony's hyper-fail, train-wreck of a console after years of their sheer arrogance is well worth it.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I don't think you've been keeping up with the news. :/

How the hell do you figure? :-\

After all that's going on, he's still calling the PS3 a train wreck. Losing DMC4 hardly warrants it, don't you think?

Adding a rumble feature, establishing Home, and the little surprises like what was shown at GDC makes up for a lot of it.

Isn't the PS3 outselling the 360 during the same months post-launch? That's kinda sorta a success, right?

It was my understanding that PS3 was losing even to the ****ing GBA in sales.

The PS3 sold more in February than the 360 did during the same time last year. That's what I meant if you couldn't understand it the first time.

I didn't pick up on the intricacies of your post, Vamp.

Yeah, it was quite intricately written, wasn't it?

Yeah, the PS3 is selling more units than the Xbox 360 did this time last year. The PS3 is going to end up just fine. It is definitely helping that Blu Ray is winning the HD format war.

Yea the rumble thing is dumb, but back to Devil May Cry 4. It's probably going to look the best on PS3...and if theres no online than Xbox live wont be a reason to get it for the xbox. I think even though its coming out for 360, im still going to get it for PS3 for the true High Def expierence.

Everytime I hear someone talk about this "high-def experience" bull****, I want to punch them in the mouth.

Sony adding Ruble now proves they're full for sh[COLOR="White"]it[/COLOR]. Only a few months ago Sony said rumble was last gen. Now they're adding it, proving that they strait up lied. They could of said that they will probably add it later but development was focused on more important issues and no one would care. And people wonder why other people hate Sony so much.

Home is cool, but not system saver. The whole idea of it is really well thought out and I would look forward to it IF I was getting a Ps3. But when it comes down to it I don't see it as being as big of a impact as people make it out to be.

Regardless of what PR guys said, a rumble feature being put back on is a good thing. It erases the fact that it didn't have a rumble to start with.

I see Home as an Animal Crossing-esque feature. If you like collecting stuff, sharing stuff, or showing stuff off it's pretty cool.

Bebop, just stop talking if you can't properly read my sentences. I never said all was fixed. I said that calling it a train wreck is ****ing retarded. Why? Because the system isn't a failure.

Uhhh, thanks for proving what I said. "Makes up for a lot of it" refers to your post about how many mistakes they've made. I will restate what you just quoted and say I never said all was fixed.

lolololol

A train wreck with a car or two removed is still a train wreck. [spoiler]lol[/spoiler]

Hardly the PS3, though. You really think I wasn't hoping for them to pull themselves out of the mess they made? I think they're off to a pretty good start.

Nice to see sony putting rumble back into there controllers.

lol lame rumble is sooooooo last gen

You fags sure know how to beat a dead horse.

Home itself makes up for a lot of mistakes, or it at least speaks well for what will come in future updates. LittleBigPlanet also holds a lot of promise for future titles and ideas. They may not fix the oh *** horrible, tragic mistakes they've made, but it's a pretty **** good start and shows Sony isn't as arrogant, or ignorant, as everyone thought they were. Adding rumble back in and even recent interviews with Harrison is a pretty good indication of that. Either way, who gives a ****, as long as it all turns out well and we get a good piece of hardware with great software to match.

I'm still wondering what these oh***horrible mistakes are if the main ones are being addressed. Backwards compatibility may be a huge strike against it, but same thing with the 360 and look at what a beautiful machine it turned out to be.

So clue me in on how sony's "fix" for the whole rumble thing works. Do you just download something from their free service that magically makes the sixaxisofevil controllers you already own rumble? Or do you need to spend even more money on the most expensive console on the market?

Probably because there were like 6 360's made during the first year of its release. They didn't become common until at least February even in effing Wisconsin, wheras even the little TCG store hobby shop downtown here has PS3s in stock.

As much as Sony has done dumb stuff, and as much as they make up for it, I really don't care. I'll get one once a PS3 is worth the 5 or so brand new games I can get Wii60 style. With a price like that, it'd have to be like 10 awesome exclusives. And not Shadow of the Colossus awesome. I mean actually awesome. Awesome awesome.

On a somewhat related note I remember when Aioros's list of PS3 killer apps included a game where we knew nothing about it except for it's working title. Lol good times. Good times.

Although I'm not a Sony fan....I like the Gaming companies in this order...
1. SEGA
2. Nintendo
3. Microsoft
4. Sony

I would get a PS3 for the ability to easily run Linux. Smae reason I like NDS, PSP, XBox, DC, PS2, etc. Although as a gamer there's not enough of a difference for me to care about either. The Wii's controls take some getting used to and just like last gen all of the games I want to play are spread out between the systems but this time Sony's console doesn't have much to offer as far as the type of games I want to play are concerned so for now I'll just stick to retro and homebrew gaming.

as of right now sony is not doing so well with the ps3, and i hate it, however i am shure that some ways down the line the ps3 will have some good games, maybe a price drop in october, and include rumble controlers. i have already started to save, couple of bucks here and there, to eventually buy a ps3. but i wil not buy one now or with solid savings, like i did with the 360 and wii.

Problem is PS3 has not system sellers at all and from what we know now has none at all.

Axis, I was being sarcastic, ironic, and antagonistic. If you paid 500 to 600 bucks for a system, you shouldn't have to ever buy anything else for it over the course of it's entire lifespan. I probably won't spend $500 on the hardware side of the Wii over it's entire lifespan.

Ah, my bad. I don't see you on the forums enough to know if you're sarcastic or not.

But you say once you buy a 500/600 dollar system you shouldn't have to pay anything extra for it? I disagree. I'm still going to buy controllers for it, or the Blu Ray media remote. The same goes for anyother system.

Thats stuff that comes out of the package. That means accessories. You shouldnt have to spend money on a console and then say spend more for it to work like updates. One is choosing to spend more, the other is being forced to spend more. Different ball park all together.

I see, in that case, I totally agree.

Possibly. But not right now.

This is why i think the problem always comes back to the ps3 is too expensive, No body wants to buy something for 600 dollars when they could buy an xbox 360 for 400, or to a lesser extent Wii for 250. Let's look at the past for a moment, one of my favorite systems the neo geo AES. It was an amazing system with perfect arcade control and game play. Problem? $600

yea but the blu ray players are like a thousand bucks and ps3 is really a bargain. But if you want to use it for videogames people probably would buy a 360.

Who wants frickin' blu-ray right now, anyway? There's not exactly a huge selection of viewing enjoyment to be had there. If they start releasing seasons of shows for cheaper than on regular DVDs, I could understand, but a smidgen of an improvement in resolution for the paltry amount of hollywood movies that are available on the format right now is no reason to spend $600, I say. Also, it would probably be best to wait and see if HD-DVD is going to break its foot off in blu-ray's shiny plastic arse, or you might end up with the 21st-century equivalent of the Betamax.

You are aware that Blu-Ray is winning in sales over HD-DVD, right? Apparently a lot of people are embracing this new format. :cookie:

And plastic thimbles are outselling metal ones. That doesn't mean anyone of consequence wants thimbles of any kind. When there are uses for such things, then we'll see who wins the war.

And obviously a bunch of other people aren't. Seriously, big difference in quality. It's totally understandable why people would want to upgrade.

Also, apparently pornstars don't want to do HD. huh

This is a completely different age then the format wars of way back then. Internet isn't just for rich people and downloading [by buying or torrenting] is totally commonplace. The "porn wins formats" argument was only for back when people didn't have as easy an access to internet usage.

Everyone, despite their opinion of Sony, should want Blu-Ray to win. It's the superior technology. I say we don't make the same mistake we did with Betamax and VHS.

Yes, but on the flipside, who ****ing cares?

The only problem is which of the two competitors will come out with the victory. Can HD-DVD players work with standard DVDs? I'm pretty sure they can, which makes it surprising that Blu-Ray was winning in sales to HD-DVD. Come to think of it, I don't think I personally own a single HD-DVD. We have a standard DVD library and one Blu-Ray disc, from what I know of. That really doesn't make any sense! :cookie:
