More Devil May Cry 4 woes for the PS3, while the 360 gets 20 minutes ahead

capture0074-00000_bmp_jpgcopy.jpgIt's just emerged that PS3 owners have to endure a 22 minute wait for Devil May Cry 4 to install before they use the game for the first time. And the icing on the cake for 360 owners? Even after installing the 5Gb file, the PS3 version apparently has no noteworthy improvements on the blissfully quick to play 360 release.

The news comes from CVG who clocked the load time at 21 mins 41 secs. While it's cruel to laugh at the unlucky kids, you can't help but smirk when you consider that the PS3 version also costs 10 quid more at launch than the 360 release of Devil May Cry 4.

So we get twenty minutes extra. We could maybe use that time to go down the pub and buy a round of drinks to toast our luck while we get served by a PS3 owner working a bar job to save up the extra cash to stare at an install screen we don't need to see.

Is this website really this fanboy-ish? It seems to spend more time reporting what is supposedly wrong with PS3 than 360 stuff. Insecure much?

This article is in correct. There are actually no load times for the devil may cry game on the ps3. You just do the initial 20 min down load and you can play the game from one end to the other with nothing but 4 second load time as apposed to the 18 sec on the xbox.

Toc -- Nahhhh, it's not fanboyish (good grief, even typing the word makes my fingers scream in pain), it's just having fun at PS3 owners' expense. Which is fine. Because they are STAGGERINGLY easy to upset: within seconds a massive thread of children arrive kicking and screaming whilst all us normal people have a good laugh. Seriously. I almost fell into my coffee this morning reading the other fantastic thread of comments from kiddies.

To Will and Gary - keep it up, old chaps :-)

Oh, and to Mediaman. Incorrect, eh? So, you just have to do the initial 20 minute download. Which part of "twenty minute delay" are you having trouble with? Oh, and as for "no load times", THAT I just have to see. Bending the laws of physics to create a 0.00 minute load delay. Fantastic. Is this some sort of weird quantum memory with negative access times? What with the 4D graphics and instant access hard drives and memory, the PS3 is looking more attractive every day. Even if it DOES look like a George Foreman grill.

typical fanboy-ish attitude what ever happend to reporting a story without bitchy comments in the concluding part of the report. plus they fail to mention that the ps3 only has that one big loading time to cut down the loading time during gameplay, well if we are going to play it like this the, ps3 owners will be catching up on DMC 4 while 360 wait to recieve the so called repaired 360's back from microsoft. see ya in the pub boys!!!!!

M$ fanboys are ridiculous...get a life u white trashes.

Posted by: Vato | February 4, 2008 5:45 PM

360 games sucked,ps3 has better games,i got both systems.

Posted by: Omen | February 4, 2008 5:48 PM

Yea I agree with Toc. Everytime this website pops up in my news feed its always about something negative about PS3. Haha I guess you Xbox fanboys are as bullish as PS3 fanboys are. You give Xbox people a bad name. Bitch about how Playstation 3 users talk crap all you want. Your just doing the same. :-) Dont bother responding to me cause I only come here when your articles pop up in my RSS feed. (In case your stupid which i'm sure you all are, that means the next time I logon to my computer, my feed will be filled with other news and will push you off the list)
Goodbye

Devil May Cry 4 was never made to be an exclusive. It was made for the PC first. Because the PC is more powerful and they did'nt want it to be ported anywhere.http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2007/12/12/devil-may-cry-4-was-first-spawned-as-a-pc-title-not-ps3/

It's astonishing how many PS3 owners read this site so religiously, is there a corresponding PS3 owners' site that, starved of any new game releases to report on, just links to the comment field of Xboxer stories?

I guess it's easy to be grumpy when you've paid well over the odds for an orphan console just because it had the same brand as the brilliant one you bought five years ago. Now you guys know how we SEGA fans felt when we bought Saturns and watched everyone having fun on PS1!

@Adrain

I'm sure all 10.5 million of us are feeling just as you explained. I'd be more grumpy if I had to return my console every 3 months for repair.

Posted by: HA | February 5, 2008 3:07 AM

Actually, I just buy a new 360 every 3 months and chuck the broken one in the bin.

I could easily afford to get a PS3 as well, but I've already used all the plugs on my telly and I won't disconnect the Dreamcast until they make a new Sonic game that's as good as Sonic Adventure, which let's face it will be never.

Posted by: Adrian | February 5, 2008 3:33 AM

it goes like this haters, I will speak slow for all the 360 owners.

PS3 = expensive

Xbox360 = less expensive

PS3 games = some good titles more good to come

Xbox360 games = great selection with even more titles.

PS3 dropped in toilet = works better than Xbox360 after 3 hours of play

Xbox360 dropped in toilet = I cant afford the shipping to send back to microsoft anymore so I am buying A PS3 to play there lack of no good games, but hey at least I am gaming on a consistant basis

conclusion: you get what you pay for. At least it powers up more than three times in a row.

nice console MS. did Bill do all the engineering work. Nah say it aint so

This is a truly pathetic fanboy hole of a website. I wondered where the dregs of humanity congregated on the internet, now I know.

Pathetic.

What about the 360? I think its an even greater offense for 33% of console owners to end up with the RROD where you then have to ship it back and wait days to weeks for a replacement to be shipped back, isn't that much worse than having to wait 20 min to install a game? With that scenario you can't do anything with your system at all and the difference here is that the PS3 DMC4 is "adding" the benefit of faster load times during the 20 min wait where the 360 is "fixing" a problem with the design of the system by shipping a replacement. So when you compare the two worlds I would take the 20 min install of the PS3 version over having a dead system any day.

Posted by: Evil Monkey | February 7, 2008 6:47 AM

I hear you Evil Monkey. With the so called 33% failure rate ;)(i think it's more like 75%), that's almost 6 million unhappy 360 costumers worldwide. Times that by how many hours lost waiting months for you console to come back? That's more then 4.3 billion hours lost world wide for 360 users. That's SAD!!

Posted by: True | February 9, 2008 3:40 AM

i as myself have both system but no hdtv 2 play with so plz tell me which dmc4 graphics is betta on normal tv. Also most 360 games on normal def has betta graphics.

PS: i use no scart connections watsoeva

Wow. I'm American and this is just hilarious to read. I can't believe Europe actually even has PS3 fans who get pissed off at random humorous(?) articles like this. There's no such thing in the States, we have what you can call insanely childish and extremely easy to piss off Nintedno Wii Freaks. I would like to see one of these "worse on" features about the Wii. You'll get flooded with American and probably international childish(but they're not children) hate mail. Funny article though. I love the bias, it's almost nonsensical sometimes. Cheers.

I think this shows how bad things are getting for ps3 . installing data to the hd . I thought blue ray was better! dont see the point if your installing the darn game to the hd ..lol.. and will it be like this for all games? might have to think about getting a larger HD its crazy
