UK jumps on the Devil May Cry 4 SE bandwagon

by Jem Alexander { Jan 5th 2008 at 9:10AM }

We already know that the US will be enjoying a two-disc Special Edition of Devil May Cry 4 when it is released next month, but it would appear that a UK version will also be available. Unlike the US version, however, the UK version seems to do everything right. We suggested of the US Special Edition that perhaps a physical paper-and-glue artbook would be more attractive than a DVD full of images, intended for use on the PC.

The UK version will feature no such disc, but will come with a signed artbook in a metal case. With GAME pre-ordering at only a fiver more than the vanilla version, this is too great a deal to pass up. Ready your wallets, Devil May Cry fans.

[Thanks Shaf!]

This will be the first game on PS3 I buy on first day, I simply pray it's good.

Loved DMC franchise

I'm thinking of getting the special editions of both the Asian, American, and European versions...

It's £40 on Amazon which is the same as the normal game for some odd reason.
Pre-ordered it now anyway.

The US get the Artbook AND the making of movies and the 1st season of the Devil May Cry amine AND the music from thr in CD format and stickers plus somed other stuff.

The US don't get an actual artbook rather a digital artbook along with the making of and music from the game on a PC date disc like Lost Planet had on the 360. Along with that theres the first volume of the anime so thats episode 1-4 on another disc inside a card slip case and not in the games actual case.

Usually the actual game disc features some making of clips and things so maybe that might happen again seeing as its blu-ray and all.

So far I've brought all the Sountracks separately so I'd like the 4th one separately too and a OST to this just got released in Japan and comes with a DVD

rental at most for me anyway i reckon...never really *got* these games.

never understood the craze for them.

it's gotta go some way to beat GoW and i hope it does.

The soundtrack in CD form? Really? I thought it was a case of being in data form among the images in a layer of the DVD. Hrm...

the 360 version in UK are all cheaper for some reason

i have a good feeling it'll outsell the ps3 version

What an amazing prediction. Who'd have thought that a game would sell better on a sytem with twice the install base?

My prediction is that DMC4 will indeed sell better on the 360. However, it won't sell twice as much as the PS3 version, for a number of reasons. These are they:

- PS3 version is superior, so PS360 owners will buy it for PS3.

- The fact that it is inferior on 360 may also put off some of the stronger 360 fanbois.

- DMC4 is not a shooter, and has no online play. This will hamper 360 sales.

- Many DMC fanbois may well have bought a PS3 over the 360 (Sony brand loyalty).

the game isnt inferior on the 360 gameplay wise, it doesnt have improved sound or HDD installation as the ps3 version, big whoop.

as a PS2 -> 360 owner im glad sony lost this as an exclusive, plus i only have to pay £29.99 for the LE :)

P/reviewers are saying that the PS3 controllers works better for the game than the 360 controller. They are also saying that the 360 version has inferior visuals.

The ONLY advantage the 360 has over the PS3 version is no mandatory intall. PS3 version has no load times (or at least shorter load times), better visuals, better sound and a better 'feel' to the controller. I'm sure you'll agree that this is all means that the 360 version is inferior.
