Which is the problem. The innovation in DMC4 seems to be enough for the DMC series. Yet everyone expects it to 're-establish' the fuckin genre like DMC1 did, or improve it vastly with gameplay additions (instant weapon swap, style/stance system) like DMC3 did.
But still, I promise you the "instant grapple/arm mechanic" of dmc4 is going to show up in future action games. I can already see Kratos' blades of chaos in God of War 3 being used in a similar fashion as Nero's Devil Bringer arm is used.

now you're determining if $75 is an easy solution for everyone or not, when an easier solution is simply "Would you like to install files to decrease loading time in this game? ( Yes / No )"test_account said:How much do those cost? I dont think they are too expencive. But anyway, at newegg.com you get 120GB 2.5" HDD for under $75. If space is lacking and its important, $75 shouldnt set anyone that much back. I guess you can get like $25 for the PS3 HDD as well if you sell it. But if they own a PS3 in the first place i guess they can afford $75 for a HDD with more space. Its an easy solution

Allllriiiight, 500+ responses and only about 4 of them have been about the review.
Close, lock, banish, eliminate?
*there are going to be plenty of review threads from more mainstream websites like ign, gamespot, and 1up* that we can all bitch 360 ver. ps3 differences about. Fear not.

most people disregard the review, the reviewer sounds like the average button masher who doesn't understand the intricacies that devil may cry offers over a friendlier game.C- Warrior said:

All this whining about the install, geez.
All I know is this game will play infinitely better with the sixaxis (or DS3) than it will with the X360 pad. Perhaps we should add a PS2 controller adapter onto the cost of the 360 version since this is what you'll really need to play the game respectfully. The X360 pad is great for a lot of things. DMC games it is not. The face buttons are too hard. The bumpers are too hard for constant pressing.
You got a PS3? Send me your tag!

we should never complain, and instead just spend money to solve all our problems.
good plan!
text too small?
buy a HDTV!
game needs an intstall?

Of course you can complain, its a good thing to show both good feeling and bad feelings about something (atleast if its valid points, which i feel it is in this case (well.. to certain point atleast, its not that big of a deal in my opinion, but it can be an issue)). But now the situation is the way it is so you can either find a solution the problem or you can complain. Sure, people can state their opinion even if its positive or negative, no problem at all, but what do you do after you stated your opinion? You can either complain some more (which would hardly change anything) or you can see if there is a solution to the problem.
I also thinks having a mandatory install isnt the best solution, but i do see the solution to it. All PS3 do have enough space to install it. If you dont want to delete current stuff on your PS3 HDD, then a solution is to buy a bigger drive. If you dont want to delete any stuff nor buy a new disc you basicly have 2 choices left: 1) Do not buy the game 2) Complain some more. What people do is totally up to themself of course, but i would have either deleted some old stuff or gotten a bigger drive if i needed more space
or 3) they can also buy it for the 360 :/test_account said:Who said you shouldnt complain? That is totally up to yourself if you want to do that or not.

andrewfee said:I doubt people buying a 20gb machine were expecting 5GB mandatory installs.
So, GAF, which version do I get?
360:
Rumble
Achievements
Cross-game messaging / invites.
Better textures. (only minor from the comparisons I've seen, but a difference nonetheless)
More anti-aliasing.
3rd game on this engine on the 360 so it's bound to run well.
PS3:
No load times. (~5 seconds on 360 so no big deal)
Uncompressed audio. (big plus in my opinion)
Better video output. (most people won't care, I do)
PS3 buttons/layout better suited for it.
5GB required install though.
Costs £10 more. (£12 for the LE)
Need to buy a Dual Shock 3, adding £40 (DS3 supposedly doesn't cut out like sixaxis does, has rumble)
...It's kind-of why I bought my PS3
How do I install Resistance to get rid of the loading?
Wow there isn't enough faceplam gifs and rolls eyes gifs for this post. really. And isnt DMC4 on a new engine?

I don't understand this trolling about the install. Why don't delete some downloaded things? You can also re-download them later. Or also can delete an old installation of a game you aren't playing, you won't loose your game stats and savefiles.
And I doubt you'll see all your dozen of porn movies stored in the HD every day. :lol
I think it's just an excuse to troll the PS3 version. If you want to troll it, talk about the flickering of shadow and edges and less aliasing.
But this graphical issues of the PS3 version wasn't mentioned in previous comparations. They only happens on the PS3 version?

Now that the news it out that the PS3 version does in fact have achievements of a sort, people have to bitch about not having a gamerscore to add those to, or about the only report anywhere that has said the 360 version looks better, or about lower load times.yurinka said:

Are you talking about the way nero pulls himself to set areas with the devil bringer? or the combat itself?C- Warrior said:
Because god of war 2 already had platforming part.
Oh, thanks, I guess I have that then. I've still got 30-60 second load screens in it.Killthee said:
Don't all Sixaxis pads cut out intermittently though? I've disabled all wireless devices in the house, and even then mine still does it, which pretty much does make a Dual Shock 3 a requirement for a game like this (seeing as it's supposed to fix that problem) assuming they haven't made it any easier.Mrbob said:
I'll wait and see for the 360 demo before passing judgement on how it plays on that pad but I do think it'll be better on a DS3.
CoD4 is 60fps too, but it runs better on 360. Do we know which DMC4 runs better yet?Mrbob said:
I remember there was some tearing pre-release on the 360 version, has it been fixed? Does the PS3 version tear too?
As the game was originally being created for the PS3, does it run better? Will it run better on 360 because they've done two games on that engine before?
andrewfee said:
Yeah my Sixaxis does the same thing as well...and it would definatly suck to get a boss down to low health and then the controller just cuts out on you, or even worse forces you to stop completely to get the USB cable, plug it in, reset the controller, then start playing again.
Also I thought the PS3 version WAS supposed to perform and look a little better than the 360 version? Didnt the guys at 1up go on about that in the show that featured DMC 4 with that plant boss lady?

Hmm, I don't really know what version to buy either. I was planning on getting the PS3 one (because I'm planning on buying single player multiconsole games for PS3), but achievements and rumble are luring me over to the 360 version.
I don't know why achievements affect me so much...

Hmm well i'm in Houston..we've got a fairly large chinese population, but the only thing I can find in most of the chinatown section is travel agencies, food, and maybe the odd clothing store here and there. Was a store that carried super famicom games...but they closed down.
Oh and on the subject of accomplishments (not just in DMC4 but in Ratchet, Resistance, and Uncharted as well), it would be nice if they took the data from those, and converted them into trophies when HOME releases. Actually I like the ideal of 3d trophies being displayed for friends more than just achievements.

GAF has just made Germany gamepro the most popular magazine in the world. holy shit dude.
andrewfee said:
Has it been confirmed by Capcom or a credible media source that its not just an option on the PS3 version as well? If it turns out to be an option, then your whole argument goes out the window...
Either way, I'm getting the PS3 version d/t the controller, I have plenty of space on my 60GB triple, so no load times is a bonus as well... (I have an Elite, if that means anything in a counter argument about the space available on the 360)

Does GAF really have to bitch about everything?
From the screenshots they showed there was some apparent aliasing, however there weren't any 360 shots there to compare those to. The gametrailers videos showed a bit less aliasing but the quality of their HD vids are terrible. Another case of waiting for the demos to judge.JudgeN said:
