We will soon find out. Since the DMC4 incedent they said they want to spread thier audiance and go multiplatform. So this must mean every 360 game from them will be coming to ps3 also. If not then Capcom are a bunch of hypocrites.
Agreed. If Capcom doesn't go multi-plat with ALL of their games, then I hope their company goes under, which I know will never happen.....
I'm surprised GS hasn't jumped on this story yet and had it plastered on the front page. stl_rams28
i'm sure it will be and it'll be up in the ps3 section and front page for months
I personally don't mind multiplatform stuff, I just wish there was more dedication to each version. Rather than spreading precious resources so much thinner, make sure it's an incredibly strong product for both which won't happen because it hasn't really happend ever so far.
They'll end up selling more copies of the PS3 version since that's where its biggest fanbase is. Still, it does seem a little fishy where Capcom was saying about a month ago that DMC4 is strictly an exclusive to PS3, now all of a sudden it's going multi-platform. Seems to me that there was some money being slipped under the table from Microsoft.
I'm sure eventually Dead Rising will come to the PS3... but the PS3 cost a lot of money to develop for, is harder to develop for, and has far less install base. Meaning it will cost them a lot, and their return may not even be worth it right now. It's the exact same reason why Capcom games weren't ported to the XBOX, the PS2 had many more gamers willing to shell out the cash for a game, why spend the money porting over something that might not even sell well on the original XBOX.

Wait a second I'm a Devil May Cry fan who owns a 360 and doesn't want to spend 600 dollars on a PS3. No, because a few of you single console fanboys are fans doesn't mean the PS3 has the fanbase or that it will sell more. Not to mention these kinds of games sell well on the 360, and Ninja Gaiden was a huge success which is a similar game. A lot of people own more than one console, and enjoy playing games... not whining about why one game is one one console and no the other.
They are not hypcrites - they are a business. They are going to go where the money is, and right now the PS3 doesn't look promising.. at least not until Sony can start showing some positive numbers. Sony needs to drop the price on their systems, and get some more AAA caliber games. This will attract a fan-base, and thus create a market for devs like Capcom to take advantage of. I think the PS3's biggest hinderance right now is their system prices. People would buy a PS3 if it's price competed with the 360. Also, the PS3 needs more Final Fantasies, Metal Gear Solids, Twisted Metals (something that is as good, if not better than TM1 and TM2), etc. They can do it, just need to push the devs they still have to take advantage of what's under the hood of the PS3.
yeah but sony has a bigger fan base for these games, don't be unrealistic that why sony is so huge because almost everyone who had a sony console also bought those games like DMC, thats why MGS2 flopped on the xbxo, once Sony builds up more of a base more games will come!

I'm not a fanboy, but I do think Microsoft can get sneaky, I never really did like them to begin with. I never had just one console per generation, I'm just saying all my friend who have a 360 don't really care for DMC.

Right, but the problem is that the fanbase of the PS2 didn't necessarily convert over to the PS3, strictly due to price. Many Sony "fanboys" are still playing their PS2's and waiting for price to drop on the PS3.

It didn't bomb on the 360 because it was released long after it was initially launched on the PS2?

They jsut made a tool fro devs so it will be easier to be develop for.
It's just a cover up to hide their hesitance in how the PS3 will sell in the future. If i'll sell well and we'll see games like Lost Planet come to the PS3 we will never know the truth of what they truly think, but if it takes a long time for it to jump in sales and we wont see the game that's our Q to know that they are hypocrites. We will see in the future if my finacial perspective is accurate or not, but it's dificult to read between the lines so early in the stage, they maybe telling the truth... but i got a strong feeling they're just bulls***ing.
i agree, we'll just have to wait and see, but this is capcom, they hate sony remember that.davez82
Capcom doesn't hate Sony. It's that Mikami guy that used to work for Capcom that hates Sony. Capcom has done nothing but help Sony rise to the top with games like Resident Evil, Onimusha, Devil May Cry, etc. If you remember back in the early PS1 days, Resident Evil helped put quite a bit of Playstations into many households. I know that was MY reason for getting a PS1.
Ok just take some time and look on the xbox 360 forums. Its not nearly as big of a deal over there. A lot of them could care less for DMC.hwardrocks
Funny thing is you're partially right. Lots of them really just want every game, even if they don't care about it. They want to spite Sony because they are more about wanting everything. Don't know if I can word it without sounding too fanboy-ish but you are mostly right.

DMC going multiplatform for 360 (currently over 9 million consoles sold worldwide) = smart business. Taking time to port Lost Planet and Dead Rising to PS3 audience (2 million currently + generous 1 million in Europe, total: 3 million by end of march) = not so smart. So porting the games to the PS3 doesn't really spread their audience by anything substantial. Therefore they're not hypocrites. Capcom is like any business and they're out for money - just take a look at all the sequels that they release! I don't see them spending time to port over old games to the PS3. Isn't Dead Rising like a year old already?

THEY HAVE NOT SOLD WORLD WIDE YET! So most likely it will be more then 3 million.
