I dont know if anyone has this info, but I just read a press release from Capcom and its not a good one in my eyes.
Capcom’s "Devil May Cry 4" Goes Multiplatform! Mega-hit Title set for PLAYSTATION® 3, Xbox 360™ and PC!
Capcom Co., Ltd., a world-wide leader in the gaming industry, is proud to announce the development of "Devil May Cry 4" for the PLAYSTATION®3, Xbox 360™ and PC platforms.
"Devil May Cry" is a series of popular, stylish action games, with a cast of unforgettable characters. Since the release of the original "Devil May Cry" in 2001, the series has shipped 6,800,000 copies as of December 31st, 2006, proudly making it one of Capcom's flagship titles. The series appeal is not limited to games; an animated TV series to be broadcast on Japan's WOWOW network is slated to air Spring 2007. The latest iteration, "Devil May Cry 4" will take advantage of each platform's hardware strengths to achieve the most stunning visuals in the series to date, and the introduction of a mysterious new protagonist will keep the action fast and fresh. Even before its release, "Devil May Cry 4" has been met with tremendous anticipation, as fans patiently endured long lines at TOKYO GAME SHOW 2006 for the chance to play the demo. "Devil May Cry 4" will be released simultaneously for the PLAYSTATION®3 and Xbox 360™ platforms.
Capcom was among the first software developers in the world to make games for the next-generation consoles, and those efforts have been met with great success. In addition, Capcom's use of an integrated development environment is one of the many methods being employed to improve efficiency and help take advantage of the cutting-edge functionality in next-generation systems.
Capcom will continue to produce titles that appeal to users while pursuing a multiplatform strategy to help enhance profits.
The Reason I say this is Bad News is primarily because I own a PS3 and my sole reason for buying it was DMC4 and GT5 and another reason for it to be seen as Bad News is this: The PS3 uses Blu-Ray, XBOX360 uses HD-DVD, the BD holds 50gb of data and the HD-DVD holds less than 20gb of data, so to me that means a cross platform game, namely DMC4 wont be as good as we were lead to believe, due to the fact that the game is going to be either developed from scratch or ported over to the XBOX from the PS3 development or vice versa. And since the BD holds so much data, are we going to lose alot of game just so Capcom can fit the same game onto a HD-DVD, will we be forced to take a limited DMC4, a redeveloped DMC4, different to what was initially planned, did Capcom sell us a dummy?
