Absolutely, so you agree with me then Capcom state that pricing is a matter for retailers and not something decided by the publisher.

If the price is closer to the (already inflated) RRP for the PS3 version its because owners don't have any other games to choose from

As it happens, my copy of DMC4 has just been despatched (Not LE by the way )

0fficial-ish response from Capcom on the load times for DMC4:


Hey, all. It’s true: the first time you drop your DMC4 Blu-Ray disc into your PS3 tray, you’re going to be treated to an exciting 22 - 25 minute load process as the disc spins a few gigs of data onto your hard drive. While the game is loading, you get to watch a really nifty series of screens that completely catch you up on the DMC4 backstory. Think of it as compressing the last three “seasons” into a single info blast, accompanied by some fantastic DMC artwork. It’s great for those new to the series and also a good refresher to serious fans (you can also check out all these screens again later in the Library mode).

If you don’t want to watch the “Previously, on Devil May Cry…” portion of the install process, go make a sandwich and grab a soda, then come on back. You’re going to be spending some serious time with this game, and we don’t want you going hungry. Low blood sugar will make you dizzy and you’ll need to be focused like an Alan Parsons Project to defeat the enemies in this game.

Wah! The game takes 20 minutes to install the first time. Wah! Have you ever played a PC game? At least we aren’t making you shuffle multiple discs into a ROM drive, or continuously click “Yes!” on a series of endless Windows dialog boxes. Installing on a console may seem like a weird idea, but there’s a real benefit. Unreal Tournament also has an option to install files onto your PS3; I’ve done it and it makes a great game even better.

Once installed — once, mind, not every time you play, as I’ve seen “reported” on certain web sites less interested in facts than in OMG histrionics — the PS3 version of the game has near-Super Nintendo speed load times. You’ll be amazed how fast levels load, the virtually instantaneous transition from cut scenes to action and that you’re continuously playing the game, as opposed to staring at loading screens of a door opening every time you move from one room to the next.

Everyone good? Deep breaths! DMC4 should start hitting North American stores tomorrow. Hope you get a signed copy of the Collector’s Edition!

PS: all DMC4 cut scenes are also instantly skippable, just in case you’re pressed for time. You can always go back later and watch any cut scene you skipped in Theater mode once you’ve beaten the level. Heck, the game will even play all cut scenes in order without pausing, which is sorta like watching a DMC4 CG movie!

Those are pretty poor justifications, pc games have not disc swapped for years since dvd and cdrom, they have never taken 20mins to install on my system, seems to me the ps3 dev guys have gone the quick and easy route and not bothered to optimize code or compress textures so to maintain framerate are dumping it to your HDD.

bumpfff^^

just finished it on "human" mode

i was not aware that the devil hunter mode was a harder difficulty (should have read the instructions)

10 hours 30 mins to complete, could have been such a top game, spoiled by a few flaws

1. camera angles, most are fine, some are crap
2. only really 3 levels IMO you are walking around the same scenery all the time, backwards and forwards.
3. end level bosses, no need to fight them all 2 or 3 times ??

it seams like they could not be arsed to make any moore levels so just had you running through them all a few times to span the game out.

i would be tempted to play through again on a harder difficulty if i was not so dam sick of walking through the forrest and torture chamber sections


10hours 30 mins for 110 gs as well

nobody on my friends list has got past level 10 yet

traded it in with my 15quid argos copy of PGR4 and got 27quid towards burnout paradise and the club, both preowned
