WiiLoaded.com - Wii Forum and News - Devil May Cry 4 headed to the 360 too

yep. finally confirmed. this really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone since there has been a ton of speculation ever since they showed it off at the Tokyo Game Show.

anyway, straight from capcom:

Capcom’s "Devil May Cry 4" Goes Multiplatform! Mega-hit Title set for PLAYSTATION® 3, Xbox 360™ and PC!

　"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.

full press release

i only played the first one, and it was alright. im sure there are other 360 owners and capcom supporters who will be a lot more excited about the news though.

There goes another PS3 Exclusive.

There's another PS3 exclusive gone. I hope this keeps up because it's making the 360 look better and better each day.

yea I know this is great news. I just bought my 360 last tuesday so the more games the better. Although this shouldn't be much of a surprise considering capcom and the 360 so far. I just hope more sony exclusives follow suit.

Like MGS 4 and FFXII?
I can see MGS porting over, but not Final Fantasy. I don't know why. It's just a gut feeling.

By the time FFXIII comes out, the PS3 should have an install base big enough to hold onto that franchise. It's really no surprise that so many of Playstation's exclusive titles are being lost this early in the game; developers need to make money, and providing their game to two or more platforms increases their revenue. Given a few years, however, the PS3 should be able to hold it's own in that respect.

Great news for Microsoft and all Xbox 360 owners (like me), very bad news for Sony, as another exclusive goes by the wayside. Boo-frickin-hoo.

Anyway I played the first and the third ones, the first was pretty good although I thought it was a little bit generic (and therefore quite overrated IMO). The third one was really good but it also kicked my ass as I progressed further into it so hopefully this one isn't quite as tough.

This has got to sting Sony a bit. This was one of their big exclusives in my opinion and to lose it has to hurt. This is great news for XBox360 owners though! Big Grin

well, in an interview with Sakaguchi over at Gamespot, he mentions that the White Engine(the engine that runs most FF games) is an open platform, so making ports for other systems wouldnt be too difficult. not only that, but SquEnix recently announced that they would be using the Unreal Engine for one of their upcoming titles. so FF13, or FF13vs, going multi (minus wii) isnt too far fetched. i dont think the 360 would see or hear about MGS until it's probably been on PS3 for over a year.
