[edit] Devil May Cry 4 - more extras than all the other games combined?
"He further stated that Devil May Cry 4 will feature more weapons, maneuvers, enemies, locations, music, and cutscenes than all the previous releases combined. It is also being billed as being the longest release yet."
Where is the citation for this? Where is the proof?
[edit] Devil May Cry 4 Editing
First, although you are correct that the Playstation 3 citation I gave--just to be fair--does use a lot of words like "may," and "hinted," the other website shows this as an official Xbox 360 game. Also, the Pixel Gamer update you are referring to was written by an individual person; it was not official. That would be like me writing my own webpage or posting to a webpage. The person that talked about the mistranslation that resulted in an update was referring to a Famitsu mistranslation from January 16, 2006; the update occurred on January 20, 2006. The article I am referring to from Famitsu relates to May 18, 2006. This is a big difference. I appreciate your professional attitude. This is a lot better than the sort of thing I have to deal with on the Devil May Cry 4 page. But one thing is clear: Devil May Cry 4 Producer Hiroshi Kobayashi said in the May 18, 2006 issue of Famitsu magazine that Devil May Cry 4 is coming to the Xbox 360 and the Wii, but not the Playstation 3. I have a friend who is Japanese, and he said there is absolutely no mistranslation!
Odd. They announced it as a PSX 3 title at TGS today. Hyde v 17:50, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
If there was no mistranslation of the Famitsu article, there wouldn't be a PS3 version of the game at all. However the game made its playable debut on Septebmer 22 on the console and the exclusivity was re-confirmed since January. The official game site at www.capcom.co.jp/devil4 lists the PS3 console only. Furthermore, the interview was in a January issue, and not in May. There was no second interview of course. This was confirmed by several Japanese residents who happened to correct the mistranslation earlier. The reason why the issue resurfaced in May was explained from the original source:
http://www.pixelgamers.com/xbox360/news/1000628/35/ps3-exclusive-devil-may-cry-no-more.html
It was corrected in several sites as well

If there is any site that lists the game as an Xbox 360 one, it's clearly an error given the overwhelming evidence that says otherwise. That includes official announcements from Capcom thus far.
[edit] Devil May Cry 4 on Xbox 360 as a result of strong Dead Rising sales
Many of the major websites are now saying that Devil May Cry 4 will be appearing on the Xbox 360 due to the fact that Dead Rising for the Xbox 360 has experienced such high sales, which were even higher than expected. Capcom originally thought that Dead Rising would sell approximately 600,000 copies; however, they have now raised that project to over one-million copies sold to consumers. This means that the brand new intellectual property, Dead Rising, will have outsold "sequal" games like Resident Evil 4 on the Playstation 2 and Gamecube. As a result, Capcom of America has made it clear to Capcom of Japan that they want Devil May Cry 4 to be released on the Xbox 360. Here are some major websites that make this clear:

This is similar to what I wrote in the article: -- mike_mgoblue
Problably not, the Devil May Cry franchise has been will Sony for a while now. Dead Rising was new, and was around the 360 era presumably for that console only, but what if I said it would be for the Ps3? I know dubbed "EXCLUSIVE."
No major site online, or print magazines for that matter, are stating that the game will be appearing on the Xbox 360 console. One random comment from a poster on a message board does not qualify as confirmation that Capcom made an official announcement. He doesn't confirm a version either, and merely suggests that there might be one based on an alleged conversation with a Capcom USA sales representative. He provides no backing of his source however; that's the source for your second link from gamerreports as well. That goes for his bold claims that Dead Rising has outsold the blockbuster hit, Resident Evil 4 as well and Capcom allegedly raising their forecast to a million copies shipped. Furthermore, Next Generation's article quoted an analyst who's speculating (emphasis on speculation) that Capcom may choose to port the title to the Xbox 360. The Tokyo Game Show recently concluded, and no such announcement was made. Therefore, it would be completely untruthful to post information that an Xbox 360 version is coming when the company hasn't officially announced it, or even hinted at the possibility officially. A rumor ignited on a message board, and analyst speculation do not qualify as official hints, let alone confirmation
When Capcom announces a 2nd version officially, it would be appropriate to modify the page to inform people. As the issue stands at the moment, the game is a PlayStation 3 exclusive, which was re-iterated twice this month at the Tokyo Game Show http://ps3.ign.com/articles/734/734457p1.html , and an earlier Famitsu article from the September 13 issue. Should that change, Capcom will announce it at their Investor Relations site as they did when Resident Evil 4 was announced for the PS2 in 2004; the title was originally a Gamecube exclusive:
Well, its like asking Bungie to release Halo3 for the Ps3, Bungie is still a seperate company, but they have been with each other since the beggining. Would you want them to release it for another console?

Further confirmation that Capcom's current console exclusives (DMC4, Dead Rising, Lost Planet, and Monster Hunter 3) are to remain that way until further notice:

[edit] Truth and history of Devil May Cry 4
In the adjustment I made to the Devil May Cry 4 article, I am simply talking about the history of the game and the fact based information that is happening at Capcom of America and Capcom of Japan. These are facts based on statistics that are quantitatively measured in the articles I referred to. Please allow my addition to the Devil May Cry 4 page to remain. All of the things I mentioned are talked about in each of the articles I gave hyperlinks to. Thanks -- mike_mgoblue
A poster claiming that a Capcom USA representative said that his superiors are asking the parent company to port the game is anything but worthy of being cited as a legitimate source. That also includes an analyst's speculation of what the company might choose to do in the future.
[edit] I played it
I work in an office right next to Sony HEadquarters in Aoyama Tokyo, and I went into their open space on the ground floor where people are free to come in and play. Last week I noticed that 7 PLayable PS3 units were out for people to play freely. I played Devil May Cry 4 and Ridge Racer. Any questions?
- Question? No, I don't want any spoiler, but if now you know something that you consider worthy to mention in the article, please do it. Alexlayer 22:40, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why was the Nero character article removed?
Why was the Nero character article removed? Any reasons why?Why don't place the Nero article again?
[edit] Cleanup of 'Known Information', remove quality standards tag at top?
I've done a pretty thorough retooling of the Known Information section; moving information on Nero to the top, consolidating information on Dante's role, removing fan speculation, removing and adding links, fixing spelling, and so on. As of right now, I think it would be OK to remove the Wikipedia quality standards banner. How do we go about requesting that? --Boradis 02:49, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- Good work on cleaning the article, I removed the tag. --Senshimaru 16:32, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- Awesome. Thank you very much. --Boradis 06:59, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
