lulz, if i was a fanboy i would be taking advantage of this. but nah i don't really think it matters which version you get. controller is quite important though, i prefer the ps3 controller.

Those 30 minutes to install it will be well worth it once you notice the lack of loading time. 30 minutes is nothing...just find something else to do. Is it that hard?

yeah, but for those of us who have 7200 rpm HDD in our PS3s I'm sure the 30 min install is cut down significantly as will be the actually load times. I really hate load times myself, so If I can have a near-seamless experience (Uncharted comes to mind), I find it that much better. Peace.

The differences are negligible, what's more important it your personal controller preference.

slightly better = nearly identical = what's the big difference?

The PS3 gets a better multiplat. Yay! Now, go play your slightly better game.

"slighty better textures"??

Always-Honest


Cows are adding things, there is nothing about textures in the review,here are the differents COWS stop making up things.

''Like most multi-console games, any review would inevitably have to come down to which system is better, and for this instance, the PS3 winds up winning out just slightly. It's not in the gameplay department, because DMC4 plays the same regardless of which system that you play on. Nor is it in the visual department, because visual issues are virtually negligible. For example, the 360 has some harder edges to some characters during cutscenes, and a little more screen tearing than the PS3 at times. The PS3 can be a wee bit darker during some scenes, though. Both systems show off a certain amount of render passing that pops into focus on sweeping vista shots, but they occur at the same time on each system and are quickly dismissed''

You still have to install to get an experience not 0.1 point better than the 360.

yes you can trust some of these sites (many sites showed this.). those pics showed bettr textures and better AA. nothing is being said about that. seems like they don't see a difference in the final version or they don't see it...

Wow, and DMC and DMC3 were all REALLY high AAA... Like 9.7 I think. That's a great score but it's kinda low compared to the other itinerations.

If you add up all the loading screens on the Xbox 360 version would it equal 30 minutes? Supposedly the PS3 version takes 20-30 minutes to load up at first and then had little to no loading. Why is that so much better? I could see if the PS3 game just looked way better but it doesn't. They have to praise loading times now to make it better somehow.

AHhhh yes. "Installing" PS3 games. A convenient way to pimp up the prospect of needing a bigger HD. Wish that darn BR drive would just read crap faster. That'd be nice.

Actually thats been proven false already, there's no clear advantage over a 5400 rpm HDD on the PS3.

Better be better than the demo comparisons. I played both versions, and the 360 version looked much better. It didn't have that headache motion blur, and textures were higher quality.

There is no difference in this game like anything else but some how they saw its slightly better. They only do this to stir the readership. If it was just a bland comp no-one would care. Same goes for Turok and all the other multiplats.

Maybe, maybe not. I remember a poll on this forum asking which versions the forum users were going to buy and to my surprise the PS3 got way more votes than the 360 version. Considering that this game is pretty 'hardcore' this poll could very well be representative for the actual game sales.

That's what I heard, personally I'd rather wait up front than wait every time the game needs to read the disk.

Well considering this series was a PS exclusive at one point its more of a bonus that we get this game anyway to care too much about screen tearing

Well said. I doubt anyone inspects their screen that closely for screen tearing anyway.

i played the demo on both machines so i could decide which to buy it for didnt notice hardly any difference prefered using the ps3 pad because it reminds me of the old DMC games i guess it comes down to weather it will be in 1080p on ps3 lately i have noticed alot of multiplats are 720p on ps3 and 1080p on 360 so i have baught the 360 ones

That's what I heard, personally I'd rather wait up front than wait every time the game needs to read the disk.

Me too, the only thing I don't like about this is that if installing games to the PS3's harddrive becomes the norm, what's the difference between this a low-powered computer? I bought my PS3/360 not only for the games that are exclusive to each, but also because consoles generally don't require installation of any sort (one of the biggest differences between console and PC gaming), and now all of a sudden, they do. Don't get me wrong; I'll still install the game, but like someone else already said, I wish they would've just put a faster BD-Rom drive in the PS3 to avoid this whole mess.
