Devil May Cry 4 has "emo" hero, release date set

by Nick Doerr { Oct 20th 2007 at 1:00PM }

Capcom's press site has alerted us to some updated information regarding Devil May Cry 4 and, seeing how we're kind spirits and all, thought we'd forward the information to you. A lot of it is rehashed info, so we'll cut through that recycled garbage (oxymoron?) and deliver you the news you want to know.

Appearances by Trish, Lady, Dante, and pretty much the entire DMC cast ensemble are to be expected. Nero is described by Capcom as "cynical and prefers being a lone wolf, often labeled emo." That made us giggle a little bit. But probably the most important slice of information is a solid release date scheduled by Capcom -- a street date of February 2008 has been set. We'll have some more DMC4 news for you in a little bit, so don't worry, fans of the franchise, more news is coming.

Is it odd that Capcom's store only lists PS3 right now? http://shop.capcom.com/store/capcomus/DisplayHomePage

Unfortunately, I think its still a cross platform. The only one that still has some hope for returning as a exclusive is Resident Evil 5, but time will tell.

"The only one that still has some hope for returning as a exclusive is Resident Evil 5..."

Where have you been? It's been multiplatform since June/July. So "Time" has already told the world.

All future capcom IPs are the same for both the 360 and ps3; Multiplatform.

Capcom can go f-k himself. I decided not to buy anymore of their games since they showed the middle finger to all PS3 owners. Anyone with little sense of self respect should know that buying anything, and i mean ANYTHING from that sh-y little company means acceptance of their insults.

F-uk them, F-uk them and F-uk them.

@ John

A game is a game is a game, and Ive been looking forward to this one for a while.
I guess I would be singing another tune if I only owned a PS3, but I have the other 2 systems as well so maybe thats why Im not as bitter towards them as a lot of other people I see.

Either way, really looking forward to this, despite the fact it comes out the same month as Smash Bros. Which might be a problem.

Take it easy, man! Capcom isn't the worst gaming company...the people who made Fight Club are. I dont see how being multi-platform company is bad, in fact its really good business and very profitable.

Think about all original games Capcom ever made like Street Fighter, Okami, Rockman X dash series, Strider, Rival schools, Tech Romancer,Power Stone, Devil May cry, Onimusha, the Marvel vs Capcom series....come on, you see where Im going here. There are geniuses that make games there.

Just because they havent made any exclusive ps3 games yet, doesnt mean they never will.

john must be in grade school.

this game will be sweet.

Luke @ Oct 20th 2007 7:04PM

I hate capcom to. I am not buying this game, and if I must play it, I will rent or buy it used.

stan @ Oct 20th 2007 7:06PM

Why so mad John, it's not like it's NOT coming to the PS3. What do you have to know that only can enjoy something for you to really enjoy it. Gesh.

Shattercross @ Oct 20th 2007 8:10PM

Glad to see there are ps3 fans that aren't being immature about Capcom being multi-platform.

I'll pick this up for sure.

Well, I'm glad they've decided to put in all those "other" characters from the Devil May Cry universe.

However, I hate the developers for skipping out on Vergil. Best DMC character except for Dante himself and they pretty much refuse, at least in interviews, to include him in this game.

Unless there is some weird story element that makes it where Nero = Vergil then I could care less. Cant help it....they put that blue coated badass in the 3rd game and i've been hooked every since.
