GameSpy got some hands on time with the demos for Devil May Cry 4 for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 at Leipzig. It’s the same demo from earlier this year, just now playable on the Xbox 360. Their impressions? The Xbox 360 looks ever so slightly better, but the PS3 version has better controls.
The PS3 version looks marginally less refined to us, but anyone looking to start a console-superiority argument wouldn’t have much ammo here. Both games look amazing. It’s the controls, however, where we felt the biggest difference.
Argue however much you will; after five and a half years of hacking, slashing, and shooting demons, we and millions of gamers are very accustomed to the feel of the PlayStation controller, be it Dual Shock 2 or Sixaxis, for the DMC experience. Our gripe with the Xbox 360 demo is that the controls feel too directly ported over to Microsoft’s controller, and it’s not a good ergonomic fit.
I’m sure as the game gets closer to release, both the graphics and controls will be refined for both systems. Hopefully Capcom doesn’t pull an EA and focus on one version only.
Meh, I really never liked the PS2 controller. I feel that the xbox controller is better because of the swapped analog and D-pad. Maybe the game uses the D-pad in a way that makes it so its a important part in the game or something, because its easier to reach that on the PS3/PS2 controller.
Oh. Also, the PS2/PS3 controller is much better for fighting games in my opinion like tekken and DOA and all of the others. That is the one thing I will give to the controller, it was much better at fighting games.
But 360 controller has more comfort the PS2.
DMC4 graphic improve better on Xbox 360 but the PS3 is a bit lousy than the Xbox 360! I wish everyone vote for me and other people as well!
