Capcom has today announced that the next instalment in the company’s highly successful Devil May Cry series, Devil May Cry 4, will ship to retail for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in February 2008.
The PC version, meanwhile, is expected to follow “at a later date”, the company added. A specific date in February for console versions has yet to be announced.
Set between the events of the original Devil May Cry and its sequel, Devil May Cry 4 pits players in the shoes of Nero - a dexterous, highly accomplished swordsman and gunslinger.
Clashing with series protagonist Dante in the middle of a demonic invasion of the city of Fortuna, players must guide Nero on a quest for the truth as they make use of his deadly Devil Bringer arm, which gamers can utilize to string together a slew of devastating attack combos.
Stay tuned for more information on Devil May Cry 4 here at PSU as it breaks.

DMC 4 looks so awesome. I can't wait. Has anyone noticed a trend, though? DMC4 got delayed for PS3 due to 360 development issues, but anytime there is PS3 development issues, they release the 360 one anyways. Kinda fishy, huh? Sounds like MS has been throwing money at people again

I find it stupid that this game went to the 360 because if Xbox gamers who only played Xbox were interested in playing DMC4, they would have to revert back to the last 3 PS2 versions of DMC in order to understand the story. It was a stupid move from capcom and Microsoft. Thats like saying PS3 is now gonna get the Halo games starting from the 3rd one. No point in it.

Well alot of PS2 supporters switched over to the 360 when it was released and never got a PS3. Those are the gamers MS wants to market to, not the Xbox loyalists. ANyway, I just read this news over at xbox.com and I hope that Sony really do push the marketing of this game on their system, because MS is already acting like they own the exclusive rights to the game! This is PLAYSTATION'S game, d@amnitt!!!

@ragingstorm
We should be hearing something awfully soon. From what i hear on the Capcom-Unity blog they are saying that this game was already in development.. My proof is here http://blogs.capcomusa.com/blogs/news.php/2007/10/17/zomg_street_fighter_iv

ny_young i totally agree with you, ive been saying that to all my friends,why would capcom start the whole franchise on ps2 and then make it multi-plat for ps3 and xbox360 and most of the xbox fans r not even going to get the whole story of itthas like bringing the pgr series to the ps3.

To tegesh: MGS 2 didn't even fail at all, it was sold a lot of copies. Because if u dont play MGS 2 u will never know what is going on, While DMC can be skip, cause storyline ain't really that good and important

I hope this game flops on the 360. I want this game, just not in MS's hands.

I really like Devil May Cry - I have them all including Dante's awakening Special Edition. I'm curious about playing this on PC with a PS2 controller hack. I just purchased a new LCD display for my PC and are playing Bioshock and the Hallgate London Beta - Both are Amazing!!!.... I think DMC 4 and Crysis are my next acquisitions.
Another game I've just discovered is Trackmania United - anyone else playing this?

Solstice is right M$ must be throwing money around, how else would they get their hands on DMC and in RE, it's not fishy, it f****** stinks as always, but we need to relax from february and forth we'll have to count pennies to get our hands on the many games that are going to be launched, the final battle between Sony & Micro$h)t is near...
