I'd say it's worth $599 to avoid having to play it with a keyboard.

Are you sure that this is true? It seems like pretty big news, and I couldn't seem to find it on any other sites. On the official Japanese site for DMC4, プレーステーション3専用ソフト / Playstation 3 exclusive software is still written along the bottom. And, contrary to what the article says, I couldn't find any mention of it on the site itself (though I didn't really look very closely).

Don't get me wrong. For this to be true would give me nothing less than the princely sum of five hundred and ninety nine US ROFLs. But I'll remain skeptical until I see the news more widely spread.

EDIT: Forget that, found it on some other sites. Uh...wow. Nice move, Sony. One less reason for me to own a PS3... Now I just need Final Fantasy XIII and Metal Gear Solid 4 to jump ship and I'll be set. I don't really see that happening, though. And in a way I hope it doesn't. It's nice to see Sony get burned for their arrogance, but they've already lost Grand Theft Auto 4 and Devil May Cry 4. To see them lose two of their other biggest exclusives would just be sort of sad.

100% sure. I received the press release from capcom press center directly

Xbox 360 = playing without keyboard.

Heh, I read the new snkupo posted and I thought the same.. no, wait, the contrary, one reason less to own a 360 if Dead Rising is confirmed on the PS3

Was gonna post the DMC4 multiplatform announcement earlier but something came up. I wonder if DMC4 is built on the same engine as Lost Planet and Dead Rising. Capcom have been talking for months about their multiplatform approach and that they developed their own engine that is easily ported from and to different platforms. I heard that Lost Planet and Dead Rising is built on this engine so it wouldn't surprise me if DMC4 is as well nor would it surprise me if multiplatform next-gen Capcom games becomes a everyday thing. We'll see.

Also news is this press release from SCEE. 1,845 of the 2,451 PAL PS2 titles will work on PS3. Nice. Curse them if MGS2/MGS3 isn't among those titles!

[kupo]

Yeah, interesting post Crusher. The same goes for the next Final Fantasy, its developed for an engine that makes is easy as a fluke for the devs to port between Xbox 360 and PS3. At least Sakaguchi (Mistwalker) says so.

Yup FFXIII will run on the "White Engine". No idea if it's multiplatform based though, I've heard it's PS3 only. But Square-Enix did license the Unreal Engine 3 not long ago. Now THAT is interesting and is bound to be used for some multiplatform titles.

White Engine is the name. It supports multiplatform now, I'm pretty sure.

[crusher]

You are probably right.

Finally been able to browse the PAL PS3 BC list. FFXII, Okami, MGS3, ICO, SOTC all works apparently. No MGS2 though. >____>

[kupo]

I hope that the games that "work" run as good as on the real PS2 hardware .

Wow. I'm pleasantly shocked that Resident Evil 4 ran perfectly on my PC.

I didn't know! Too bad there's like, NO lightning effects.

patch is on the way from capcom ....... soon, Hopefully.

I don't understand why they'd need to release a seperate patch for adding lighting effects. That's something that should have been added to the actual game upon release.
