DMC4 Is Off to Xbox 360

http://ir.capcom.co.jp/english/news/html/e070320.html

I was going to call April Fool's until I looked up the Press Release. Now all I can say is:

"Another one bites the dust, and another one's gone, and another one's down, another one bites the dust."


If Capcom, of all publishers, can step away from PS3 exclusivity on the second biggest title coming to the platform, MGS4 is gone.

There you go, Spit! You got it, buddy!

Now that it's 100% confirmed...MGS4 to Xbox360 is next. I don't have any doubts anymore. Sony just can't win.

Edit: But you know...that thing doesn't exactly look legit.
Edit 2: That being said, it's being reported at Kotaku now, so I guess it's fo sho. Big problems in Sony land.

God I hope so. I can barely afford an Xbox360 as it is, so PS3 will be impossible. All I need is for DMC4 and MGS4 to go to Xbox, and I will be happy. I used to prefer Sony over Xbox, but this price range is ridiculus(sp?).

Oh my I guess I will be buying it after all. And to think I was about to give up on DMC just because I didn't want a PS3.

Thank you for the great news!

I didn't say anything was wrong with N@N -.- I was kidding about old people, then I said I myself watch N@N all the time...even though it only has two good shows now (seriously N@N, get rid of that insanely annoying, and insanely old Cosby show...).

I still plan to get a PS3 in a few years, just can't get it now because of it's $660 price (another 6 dollars and the price would of been $666). I only get $50 a month, and last month I bought TMNT the Wii game, and this month I'm useing it to see the movie twice, Wild Hogs, ATHF, and have no idea how much I'll have left by then. Next month, I can start saveing for Xbox 360, hopefully in time for DMC4.

Computer games aren't even all that fun anymore. The only games I play are World of Warcraft and Counter-Strike (both 1.6 and Source). I kinda feel bad that I spent $3000 on my computer. Now I wanna go Mac and forsake all computer games forever.

We all kinda saw this coming, but still pretty upsetting for Sony. And yeah, the first person I thought of when I read that was Spit. Haha.

I will be very happy if they pry MGS away from Sony.

Could it work on 360 though? The MGS games have all made use of aspects of the actual console itself. They used the vibration in all three for different things so no doubt a lot of the gadgets will use the six-axis. How would they manage to port them over for use on the 360? Either way I wish they would (or replace the gadgets with something else) because I'm not planning on getting a PS3.

They're only gimmicks, dude. Nothing but gimmicks. Just like the use of the six-axis in CoD3. In the one on one fights, you just shake the controller everywhere, as opposed to simple button presses in the 360 version. There's no way they couldn't pull it off.

Besides, they had versions of MGS games for the Xbox and Gamecube, so it's not like there isn't a precedent for this stuff.

That should make my girlfriend happy as her main reason to get the PS3 is DMC4. Hopefully MGS4 is next because that would make things easier on my wallet.

Good night folks! Sony, meet Sega; Sega, meet Sony. Soon enough, you two will have something in common.

I hope so. I miss the hell out of Sega, but the less consoles there are, the easier to get them all. I never once owned all three consoles in a generation. N64, PS1, and Dreamcast, I never had a PS1. Gamecube, PS2, and Xbox, I never owned an Xbox. Mainly the reason is, every time I can afford the 3rd console, the new one is usually comeing out with playback capabilities. So I save up for that, considering buying the only one would be a waste of money. But then the other two consoles have new one's coming out so I have to buy one of those. I can juggle two consoles, but three? It's impossible for me until I can get a better job, which is VERY hard to do where I live. But this time, I think I'll get an Xbox360, and end up waiting for PS4 (which I'm sure would be coming out by the time I can afford a PS3), unless PS4 is about $1,000 or so. Never did understand why Sony thinks they were so damn important enough to get away with the $660 price tag.

That's very true now that I think more on it, all they hafta do is switch where the six-axis is used with some button presses to represent directions. I thought maybe they'd use it for other stuff that wouldn't be as easy to do on another console.

Sony isn't meeting Sega, Sony isn't going away over this.

Until 360 floods itself with JRPGs and cutesy cat people Bishie games Sony won't be going anywhere. And I pray to the video game gods that day never comes.
