   After Mercenaries 2 last month (and Assassin's Creed last year), the PlayStation 3 has lost yet another major exclusivity today, as Capcom announces that their upcoming action sequel Devil May Cry 4 is now in development not only for the PS3, but also for the Xbox 360 and PC. This comes as a bit of a surprise, if we take into account that Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition was the only game in the series to be released on another platform (PC), and that all of the previous DMC games have been exclusive to the PlayStation 2.

   Was this Capcom's intention all along, or did they decide to go multi-platform only after seeing the PS3's lacking market penetration? They didn't say. But I'm guessing their recent success on the Xbox 360 with Lost Planet and Dead Rising may have had something to do with this decision as well.
"Capcom is committed to making its titles available to as wide an audience as possible, and has been building its technology base to meet that goal", said Mark Beaumont, executive vice president, officer and head of Capcom consumer software publishing in the Americas and Europe. "This announcement means that PS3, Xbox 360 and PC owners worldwide will be able to experience the latest instalment of one of Capcom's pillar franchises."    While failing to provide a release date for any of the game's versions, Capcom did mention that Devil May Cry 4 will be released simultaneously on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, tacitly implying that the PC version will follow sometime (much) later. They also claim that "each version of the game will be maximized to take advantage of the systems' strengths, leading to a breath-taking visual and gameplay experience" on each platform.

   "Devil May Cry 4 immerses gamers in a gothic supernatural world, where a new protagonist clashes with a familiar hero. As the new leading man, Nero, players will unleash incredible attacks and non-stop combos using a unique new gameplay mechanic, his powerful "Devil Bringer" arm. With the advanced graphical capabilities of the next-gen systems, high definition visuals and intricate detail come to life as players explore new and exotic locales. Dynamic action and undeniable style combine with unprecedented fighting options and a gripping story to produce the incomparable experience that only a Devil May Cry game can deliver." End quote.
