Devil May Cry 4 Announced for Xbox 360

I’ve said it was coming countless times over the past year, it seems that Capcom has finally admitted it.

Capcom Co., Ltd., a world-wide leader in the gaming industry, is proud to announce the development of “Devil May Cry 4″ for the PLAYSTATION®3, Xbox 360â„¢ and PC platforms.

 ”Devil May Cry” is a series of popular, stylish action games, with a cast of unforgettable characters. Since the release of the original “Devil May Cry” in 2001, the series has shipped 6,800,000 copies as of December 31st, 2006, proudly making it one of Capcom’s flagship titles. The series appeal is not limited to games; an animated TV series to be broadcast on Japan’s WOWOW network is slated to air Spring 2007. The latest iteration, “Devil May Cry 4″ will take advantage of each platform’s hardware strengths to achieve the most stunning visuals in the series to date, and the introduction of a mysterious new protagonist will keep the action fast and fresh. Even before its release, “Devil May Cry 4″ has been met with tremendous anticipation, as fans patiently endured long lines at TOKYO GAME SHOW 2006 for the chance to play the demo. “Devil May Cry 4″ will be released simultaneously for the PLAYSTATION®3 and Xbox 360â„¢ platforms.

 Capcom was among the first software developers in the world to make games for the next-generation consoles, and those efforts have been met with great success. In addition, Capcom’s use of an integrated development environment is one of the many methods being employed to improve efficiency and help take advantage of the cutting-edge functionality in next-generation systems.

 Capcom will continue to produce titles that appeal to users while pursuing a multiplatform strategy to help enhance profits.

Companies like Capcom are not being paid to keep their games exclusive to Sony most likely, unlike Square-Enix, but if Capcom and other companies start seeing huge profit opportunities on the Xbox 360, they’re going to ditch their cultural loyalty to the PlayStation, which is good news for everyone.  Sony’s threats to developers no longer work now that they have a viable option to jump to in the Xbox 360.
