Support NeoGAF

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

So basically the difference between the versions is the same as it was as Burnout Paradise (i.e. not at all) but GAF will continue to turn nothing into something.

 

[def sim]

well

i kicked the demo's ass on my first try

thank god the full game has a harder mode

No. Burnout was framerate only. DMC4 is AA, Textures and Shaders.

That too. I don't know what's so hard about Berial beat him with my first try.

 

[Victrix]

Cool, but I'm discovering I hate playing DMC on the 360 pad :/

Adapter time maybe, if such devices exist

 

[zoku88]

That too. I don't know what's so hard about Berial beat him with my first try.

I took me a third try to beat him T_T

 

[MMaRsu]

You need a gold code for Japan -- the demo is up via XBL North America?

Oh wow didn't know it was up in europe too! TO THE 360 CAVE BATMAN!

 

[StriKeVillain]

Try the boss fight mode next -- if you haven't played in a DMC game in that long -- he'll likely whoop your ass

Yeah, I almost beat Berial. I got to his last little bar of health. So close.

 

[Creamium]

well, it's comforting to know I still suck at DMC, died at the Berial boss. How do you do that slam move they always showed in the vids, where you slam his head into the ground? I tried B while he was stunned but I just got pulled towards him

still got a cramp in my hand from the long bumper pressing. I hope changing it to RT will be better

 

[Kittonwy]

Teh DMC4 demo supports teh Dual Shock 3 TM. Feelz teh rumble.

 

[Narcosis]

HOLY SHIT!

Nero's Devil Bringer is awesome! The combos I was launching with it kick ass, and pulling enemies right to you to keep a chain going rules! All worries I had about Nero's playstyle not matching the abilities of Dante are unfounded. God, I want the ful retail version right now!


[EDIT]I managed to beat Berial the first time

 

[Yoshichan]

I'm very pleased to see people who never tried earlier DMC play DMC4 now . I'm happy.

You slash him till the flames are dying down then you can do the slam.

well yeah when he was stunned (so no flames) I locked onto him and pressed B but I merely got pulled towards him

 

[def sim]

make sure you aren't locked on

you won't slam him if you are

Let go of target lock on. (RB/R1)

 

[Lince]

well now I'm done with the 360 demo and there're some minor differences indeed (360 has better AA, less framerate hiccups specially in cut-scenes and higher-res textures in some places)... I do hope that the minor framerate hiccups are gone in the retail PS3 version because the biggest difference of all is the controller (not trolling, I'm just saying for this game).

 

[Xater]

What Steroyd said. No targeting.

 

[Shepherd]

You know... the bumper thing was uncomfortable as hell until I shifted my hand up the controller a little. Just have to hold the controller slightly differently to how I normally do.

Actually that helps a lot. Thanks. Feels much better. Now all is good.

 

[Creamium]

make sure you aren't locked on

you won't slam him if you are

oh yeah that's right. controls change whether you're locked on or not, always forget that

 

[Rottweiler]

It seems the 360 does sharper textures and better AA.

While the PS3 -- randomly does aspects better. For example, the ice on the frost enemies look better.

I disagree. The ice effect on the PS3 looks cheap and unnatural while the 360 version looks more like natural ice. Also even thou both of them were taken of almost the same pose, the angle and area of the shot are different on both. Ice doesn't have that shiny effect also heavy light is present (i.e sun)

 

[sinnergy]

No. Burnout was framerate only. DMC4 is AA, Textures and Shaders.

Seems so. I got Burnout for PS3 because all differences where so small. But I could tell from the two DMC4 demo's X360 version is much better.

Yeah, because slightly better textures >>>> worse controls

EDIT:

X360 version is much better.

:lol :lol :lol

 

[def sim]

eh i did just fine with the 360 pad

this whole comparison thing is silly anyway, it's a good game and it works fine on both consoles

buy it for whatever the hell you want and stop making a big deal out of everything duders

some people dont know how to jauge things . "much" quite THE joke :lol:.
just tried both demo, its almost identical seriously.
YOu want your music, pick the 360
you want a dual shock, pick the ps3
end

 

[def sim]

in retrospect, that's probably a very silly thing to say realizing what forum i am in

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

I love how people assume that those that are playing it on the 360 have never played DMC before.

 

[sinnergy]

EDIT:
:lol :lol :lol

I have no problem with the controls on both. :lol Seems there is something wrong with your hands.

 

[Xyphie]

So.. awesome..

Preordered the 360 CE directly after I finished the demo. I was a bit bothered they used RB instead of RT for targeting but I read earlier in the thread controls will be customizable in the final version so it's fine I guess.

(Worst case scenario: I have to do some soldering work on an extra controller :lol)

 

[C- Warrior]

I gave my free xbox 1 month pass gold (got it via sending in a 3RROD 360 to MS repair) to Draft, so stop with the PM's . =p

I have 1 left, but I want to keep that for myself

 

[Dot50Cal]

Video is uploading now, 434MB. Watching it shows how hard it is to tell them apart, but if you are a quality freak and or are recording the game and want it to look the absolute best, then 360 is the way to go. Blim will have to post it as I'm off to bed. Enjoy the demo all!

 

[Oneself]

OMG! This demo was awesome. Day one. Totally. It reminds me of the original DMC (wich is, by far, the best IMO).

 

[WickedLaharl]

um, yeah. the 360 version aside from the frost enemies looks better. plus while i was playing the ps3 demo my controller spazzed out on me :/

even still i don't know which version to get...

anyways, great demo. as plenty people have said the devil bringer adds a lot to the mix

Well the differences between the two Burnout versions is much less than DMC4, sorry.
I am no fanboy, I just want to play the technical best version, Burnout Paradise is better on PS3 (minor, but it's technically better) And DMC4 seems to be technically better on X360 (much bigger than Burnout was imo) I have both consoles so I can choose. It's 60 euro's, so I want worth for my money.

 

[Dot50Cal]

while i was playing the ps3 demo my controller spazzed out on me :/

Im positive thats been fixed with the DS3. I haven't had that happen since I imported it.

 

[MCD]

My thoughts on the 360 demo:

1- X button should be the sword attack, not Y

2- right bumper need to be changed to right trigger

if i can change that in the final game, then my 360 get would be complete.

 

[WickedLaharl]

that's good. the ds3 i ordered should be here soon

 

[zoku88]

This demo build is from the TGS right??? If so I think some of you need to realize that this demo is from september and NOT the finished build, so save your comparisons for the final game.

Is this true?

 

[Ceb]

I love how people assume that those that are playing it on the 360 have never played DMC before.

Maybe he's... oh I dunno... going by the people who outright said that this is their first DMC? No matter what console they're playing it on.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Lol, demo just froze my PS3 when I got that Blue orb.

that's exactly what i thought

from what i remember, the controls in the game are completely customizable so that'll be the first thing i do

 

[C- Warrior]

Is this true?

It's the TGS build yes. The mode system, the timer system, all is representative of the TGS 2007 build. So it's likely code back June/July 2007.

So, why do people waste time comparing old builds? :-/

"2008 Trial"

I'd say they updated it with the latest stuff if the title screen is any indication.

 

[Psychotext]

Yup, feeling pretty damn comfortable with the controls on the 360 after the hand position adjustment thing. I don't care if they have the option to change to right trigger or not when the full game comes out. Pre-ordered LTD edition, £27.99.

 

[C- Warrior]

So, why do people waste time comparing old builds? :-/

Two reasons:

The demo-build may be from TGS, but the code could be recent.

or

The engine is set to go several months prior, and the remaining time is balance, promotion, approval, testing, extra content addition, framerate, focus testing etc. etc.

 

[Shepherd]

Didn`t the TGS Demo have tearing problems? If so this is not the same one.

 

[Fatghost]

I noticed if you leave the title screen rolling, you can see some v-sync issues on the 360 build (look at the fountain). They don't seem to be in the PS3 demo.

You're right. Didn't notice that.
