Confirmed: Devil May Cry 4 Coming To 360
There have been rumblings about this running around the internets for a while and despite earlier denials, a Capcom press release reveals that Devil May Cry 4 will no longer be a Sony exclusive. The fourth title in the popular series will be coming to the 360 and the PC as well as the it's originally intended PS3.
From the press release:
Each version of the game will be maximized to take advantage of the systems' strengths, leading to a breath-taking visual and gameplay experience. Devil May Cry 4 will be released simultaneously for the PS3 and Xbox 360 system.
This is terrific news for those of us that don't have the money to plunk down for a PS3 but still want to experience the next-gen version of the action packed game franchise. I thoroughly enjoyed the first DMC and although the second one was rather, shall we say, stinky, the third installment fully redeemed the series in many player's eyes.
As we've reported before, Dante will not be the main character in this installment although he will be making an appearance. This time around we get Dante's brother, Nero, who is practically Dante's clone. So never fear my gay gamers (and ladies!), there will still be plenty of sexy, white haired hotness to enjoy while your playing what is shaping up to possibly be the best game in the series.

Other stuff like this: dante, devil may cry 4, nero, pc, ps3, xbox 360
this game was one of the only things holding me to getting a ps3.. now i feel a bit meh about the ps3's launch two days from now (in aus)..
i'll still get one for work - but there better be some good games coming through soon that i can't get on the 360 (though the way things are going it looks like it's only going to be sony stuff)
OMFG!!! THANK YOU GOD! i have a Wii already but i want a second console because to tell the truth, i kinda do want some high-def graphics. so i debating between PS3 and 360. the 360 seemed like a clear winner, the only thing making me kinda want a PS3 was Devil May Cry 4 (i loooove DMC3, and was dying for another). so, i was praying that it will come out on 360 so i wont have to pay 700$ for one game. and now that's been confirmed, i can almost feel the 360 in my arms right now. omfg thank you Capcom!!!
Yeah! What the guy above me said!! ^^
Actually, I'm pretty sure Dante and Nero aren't brothers. They're not even related. Unless my Game Informer has been lying to me...:(
