PSN is being it's usual shitty self yet again. Demo is shown available but when you proceed to download it goes blank & just hangs..fuck it.

Yikes, going by the impressions on neogaf, multiplat owners should definitely stay away from the PS3 version. If you have a choice.

^Definitely.... The PS3 version has horrible frame rate. I thought the 360 demo was steady and i barely noticed frame rate drops or tearing. It looked impressive with it's mixture of colours. The screens that i posted are here to judge. Was going to try it on PS3 as well but now i will avoid it for now.

So no 60fps again? Anyways, as long as the frames don't drop horribly all the time, I am okay with it as the combat looks smooth as hell. What I like the most is the art style. That is the high of this whole game for me. It's brilliant and how it compliments the interesting platforming. Though this 'glide thing' (with angel wings) was present in Bujingai as well, this looks quite smooth here. Another noticeable thing is the characterization. Over all, I am really excited for this game. Can't believe Januray is only about a month away as November is almost over.

PC version it is then. DmC in 60 fps afterall.
Not that I give a rats ass about this game, but I'd tell you to not keep your hopes up. This will likely be 30FPS locked on the PC too, given the developers confidence on how 'it'll feel like 60fps' and how they've defended their decision against the console crowd.

I always thought that 'fuck you' statement on the bouncer's list held a certain mock-epic christian sentiment. (y)

OK GENTS...just downloaded and finished the PS3 version of the demo 2ice...now playing on "Son of sparda" difficulty and getting somewhat owned.

** First off...THIS GAME IS FUN!!!!!!!

** secondly...all you guys Abuses will lead to baning about the frame rate on the PS3...id like to dedicate the infamous "Fuck you" cut scene to you...because iam pleased to announce that the frame rate through most of the game is SOLID. Although i do admit it takes a few insignificant dips specially when when the background is changing around u while ur hacking away at the badies...but u wont even notice it unless ur trying to.

The most noticeable frame rate dips are on cut scenes..and game play for the most part is unaffected....nothing like Ninja theory's previous games (e.g enslaved) frame rate on this game is goood!

now on to the game play:

1. This game looks and feels like devil may cry but plays nothing like it..... i know it doesn't make any sense but let me explain.

The control are different, in a way they are dumbed down to make the game more accessible, like now evading is a synch... you press R1 and voila...Dante does a dive/roll that gets him outta harms way, almost making him invulnerable while hes evading...which in a way kinda makes this game easier in my opinion...because traditionally you would hold the left analog stick in the direction you wanna evade and then press R1 and X at the right time to get outta harms way.

2. Switching weapons and executing insane chain of combos is fun, simply keep the R2 or L2 button pressed in order to use your weapons which u can assign to your shoulder buttons to use anytime within a chain.

3. No lock on option....yup its somewhat detects automatically an enemy to lock on to and from there on you dish out your moves....although i prefer the lock on function but i dont really have any complains with this.

4. Now you have two melee attack buttons instead of one. with Triangle you dish out your normal sword combo while using O for launchers and special moves. With that said...weapon specific moves are executed differently... for example traditionally you would press R1 + forward on your left analog stick and press the triangle to perform the stinger move.... now you have to press fwd fwd triangle.... so in a way...moves have been dumbed down.

5. This game is too easy for a devil may cry game...i mean i could pretty much whiz through the Hard difficulty without any deaths on my first playthrough....i got pawned a bit on son of sparda...but the hard difficulty was like the easy mode of the original.

Now, with that said...this in no way is a bad game...i really enjoyed the demo. I also wanna point out that i hated the characters... Dante has his fun moments but sometimes he acts like a pissed off emo version of justin bieber....If the main character was named Joe or Phill...i wouldnt have a problem with him...but he doesnt fill dante's shoes...not even one bit.

Virgil ...ughhh dont even get me started...he wears a fricken mobster hat?...

Closing comments :

The game play is awesome, if they ramp up the difficulty a bit it'd be perfect...i cant say the same about the characters and the story setting...but those of you who wanna buy this game for the gameplay and stylish combos...your in luck!... but you'd have to try higher difficulties to get any real challenge outta this game.

^^ pretty much what he said but i'd like to say that whenever a cutscene happens during the gameplay etc the framerate drops and the experience what i had hoped to be wasn't that good regarding the funchtionality of the game coz of the freaking framedrop and halts etc..

the combos were awesome, i was having fun switching back and forth between the angel scythe and the demon hammer :D totally forgot about the rebellion haha

the fight mechanics are pretty much awesome.

i would like to say that other than the sucky framedrops etc there is nothing wrong with the game :D ( ps3 version got the short end of the stick :mad: )

i hope this wouldn't be the case with the final version for ps3 ! ( ninja theory YA LISTENIN :mad: )

anyways i would also like to add that during the "secret ingredient" fight i destroyed one of her hanging wires and went to the other platform and when the time of her second wire came, the monster just didn't do anything during that time i obtained a RATING of SSS on combos :p haha anyways had to die in that yellow goo to make that fatty move ! so yeah demo is with bugs for the ps3 version. :(

also just found out through the demo thatthis time they have changed the story

before sparda was a demon and dantes mom was a human but now her mom is an angel hence the photo we saw earlier dante being under the angels wings or so and sparda is still a demon... so he got the best of both worlds :wink2:

Honestly tell me besides the cut-scenes frame drops...isent the action/game play performance not identical for both the system? ... i didnt find anything wrong with the FPS once the gameplay started...the cutscenes are another story for me...which for me personally are not a deal breaker...but i cant tolerate significant frame dips within the gameplay though.

well i haven't played the 360 version not did i see it so i can't comment on that part

there was a time when i was running when the walls were closing in and framerate dropped too dunno but been a while since i saw this many framerate drops in a game but its a demo so i let it slide by.

i just HOPE that this does not become an issue with the retail version :(

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
