DMC4 Coming to the 360 and PC

[Kaylia]

A) go full out with graphcis and such so that all the towns/etc you see work for the first part of the game, and when switching to the second disk you can continue to see other towns etc, but wont be able to go to previous towns unless you want to switch disks again. This way would be more of a hassle, but you can still get the full quality out of it.

Audio and rendered cutscene is what take the biggest amount of space on a disk usually, but you can easily get ride of most of those on a 2nd disk/3rd disk. With an audio compression similar to the one in FFXII, you could squeeze a lot more data than you think..

The other thing would be mapping, and I've no idea how much space they used for that in MGS4. Are you going to be able to come back in previous area? Can they compress them without losing any quality (longer loading)?

Creating 25 to 50GB of content for 1 game takes a really long time and costs a hell of a lot of money, unless you're just not compressing things. It's quite possible MGS4 is so huge because they're just not compressing the audio or any video very much. I'm sure they could port it to a DVD9 if they really wanted to. Also, some huge PS3 games are actually not really that big either. They just mirror content in several locations on the disc to improve load times. I personally don't care which consoles get which games as long as the games are good. I don't own any next-gen consoles yet btw, although I would buy a Wii if I could find one.

It's probably what happened, because quite frankly, 25-50gig of compressed data is huge. There is no reason not to compress thing unless you want to speed up loading

Yeah, and I honestly don't mind that part of it. I just dislike the fact that you have to start alllllllllll the way over when you die and you're pretty far into a level, or even at a boss fight. Just things like that I find really just, aggravating, so I had to stop playing it. Very early in the game too.

And yes I know it's supposed to be hard and whatever, but I'm disappointed that it was -that- hard that I could barely enjoy it even for like two hours, lol.

I get the feeling you're one of the people who didn't appreciate the increased difficulty of the third game over the previous two. Capcom decided, for the American release, to bump the difficulty up a bit over the Japanese game. Thus, Japanese hard mode was our normal, their DMD was our Hard, and I think we got something completely new for our DMD. I personally loved the increased difficulty along with everything else in the third game... games are generally too damned easy nowadays.

Edit: Belle beat me to posting. But I see why you'd be annoyed, Belle. That's why I always carried around some extra yellows whenever I could.

[Lbelle]

Yes well I fit the girl stereotype where I like my games very, very easy. So you're right, I didn't appreciate the uber hard difficulty. I'm not THAT good at console games like DMC, so when they buff up the difficulty I can't even play them. I did beat the first one, though. Couldn't get through the second.

But yeah, I find games that are easy alot more entertaining than games that are hard. In this kind of genre atleast.

Eh I'm not going to lie I got bored of it quick but playing Heaven or Hell brings in the hard and Dante must Die! I just cant wait to try Nero must Die! in four. Also the starting over from the start thing...yeah I fucking hated that thats the only thing that pissed me off when I played the games other than that I loved the music and playing Vergil on the special edition one was awesome.

[Lbelle]

Exactly. Like if they had save markers before you got to a boss, or before you were about to do something important, I would love the game. But having to start over time after time after time is just redundant and gets boring. Also the music is very good!

[Insanecyclone]

I believe the only real save marker was JUST before the cerberus fight but I'd have to play it again to see

[Lbelle]

Nope, you can't save there. I just got past that point.

[Insanecyclone]

jsgdjasgja I thought that statue was a save point...I need to play DMC3 again sometime >| <3 listening to cerberus fight music now.

Guys, pick up the DMC3 Special Edition for < 20 bucks. You can start at the boss fight you die at w/o playing the entire level again for one.
Also, after you beat it, 2 awesome new game modes get opened up. One is playing through the game as Vergil, and the other is Bloody Palace. Which is a 10,000 floor dungeon where you can fight and level up against all the enemies/bosses that you fought throughout the game. The really cool thing is that the orbs and abilities you purchase in the Bloody Palace can be used for the main game.

QFT, Special Edition has the enhanced continue mode so it will be easier and less frusterating. I love DMC because of the difficulty, they better keep royal guard styles in DMC4. Parrying is by far my favorite thing to do in that game.

[Lbelle]

Well what the fuck I HAVE the special edition and I always had to start at the beginning.

[Isiolia]

If I remember right, the SE gives you the option to play the original way, or the new way when you start a new game.

Try it again on easy difficulty if you were playing normal. The learning curve is more like a brick wall in DMC3 if it is your first time playing the game. Also, save before doing any boss if you want to keep your red orb (isntead of wasting your time losing everything). first few boss are always hard cause your hp is low, and you probably havent learned a lot of skill. It might be a good idea to farm stage 1-2 to get double jump and other, upgrade revolver and many buy stinger.

Devil May cry is one of those game where skill matter. It's frustrating at first I guess, but you will see the improvement if you play a few hours, unlike most action game that consist of button mashing from A to Z.

Game look so easy when I'm not the one playing it.
