Yeah, you didn't say the ps3 was better, you just said people who say the 360 version is better are stupid, boy you slid your opinion under the radar there
Might not be the most impressive graphics from a technical point of view, but the game has a really great consistent look. Very clean and 60 FPS (I skipped all the cutscenes, so I didn't see any of the 30 FPS bits), that's how all games should look.
Unfortunately I was bored out of my mind in about 5 minutes.

It's hit and miss, I guess. I'm sure there are satisfied LCD owners out there who don't have the problems I do. The 40 inch S3000 looked terrific from what I saw in store, has none of the problems my set has, but it's simply too huge.jett said:That's what you get for investing in a shitty technology. Although thanks to gaffers like you I'm no longer interested in buying LCD tvs.
That's true, but according to a poster's mathemabilities, an 8-bit panel should theoretically be able to display the entire gamut without issue. Shrug. I'm pretty certain not all 32" LCDs have banding, and they're 8-bit panels, too. Whatever the case, I'm stuck in band city, with no way out, and it sucks.Mrbob said:

Can you explain the whole banding issue you're having? I'm gaming on a CRT HDTV but I'm interested in getting an LCD. By the way, I loved the demo. Maybe it's because I've stepped away from the Devil May Cry franchise for a long time. Felt like I did when I played the first one...Takuan said:
man im getting mad at this demo, i still cant beat berial, am i missing a strategy? i got it down to 1/4 life left, but hes being so cheap at this point, like putting out volcanoes through the ground that i cant avoid...on another note, why is every1 STILL argueing about the graphics?

If somebody would offer an upgrade to my account where I could put people on ignore and not have the option to take them off ignore I would totally buy it. Mainly because I'm convinced that sprocket never has anything worthwhile to say.
I don't know what to tell you. I beat Berial while hopped up on tylenol with a 102 fever on my first time with the demo.
Anyway you could try evading when he puts his fist to the ground, since that's when he'll start summoning the volcanoes. Also there's a few healing items lying around inside the houses if you can get Berial to smash into them.
Oh and yeah this forum is pretty retarded sometimes.

Looks better than I had expected. The 60fps really makes a difference.

Make sure you use your Devil Arm to throw Berial when his flames go out. It does some hefty damage, and you should be able to get it off at least twice.
Also, people are still arguing about graphical differences because they're retarded.
I can do better. Here are some examples (looks worse in person):fps fanatic said:

It's totally fucking distracting having to look at that shit while I play. I don't have any problems of that sort in Rock Band or Uncharted, at least not during gameplay.
I felt the same, actually. Nero's sword swinging feels a tad sluggish compared to Dante's in DMC3. Maybe that's a just a character difference.LJ11 said:
Berial goes down easy by just jump-grabbing his face with the arm, slashing as you fall and repeating the process until his flames go out(So long as you stay above or near his shoulder height and to the side of his body, his sword slashes will whiff). Once the flames go out, just unlock and grab with the arm to do crazy faceplant damage. Do it again while he is on the ground to punch him across the area for more. Repeat entire process again and he will be dead.
Also, this thread needs more meltdowns and screen comparisons. I want to be convinced that one is clearly superior to the other! Cmon GAF!

The game looks great. Played the demo on both platforms last night and the graphic and sound differences are so slight and minor they are simply not worth arguing about. Seriously.
As someone who has barely played the series before (Played the first game for about an hour years ago and didn't like it), I had no problems whatsoever controlling the game with either controller, although I can see why someone who had played the whole series on a DS2 would prefer the PS3 version. Otherwise, you can't go wrong either way.
As for me? I MIGHT pick it up when it hits $20. These types of repetitive action games just don't grab me, I guess. The Devil Arm is cool. The reason I quit playing the first game was because of a cheap and difficult fire spider boss early in the game. The Berial boss fight at the end of the demo reminded me too strongly of that, since I was unable to beat it after three tries. I don't know. I might give it a shot when it's cheap.
Game looks great for those who like the series, though.

Wow, I see what you mean now. And that tv is the one I wanted actually! Though I saw a 40" Sony 1080p LCD at BJ's for about the price of the 32" at one of the more famous electronics stores (Best Buy, CC), $1,399.00 or close to that I believe. I think it was the LV line, 40LV something? I'll double check....Takuan said:

It's because in that section of the demo there loads of smooth gradiants, the fog, the sky which are a nightmare for lcd's. And 9 times out of 10 any fancy noise reduction or "image enhancing" techniques on the tv just made the problem worse. Sometimes even plasmas can suffer from it, but that's usually purple banding on a greyscale.

Yup same here. I remember my friend brought over the DMC trilogy a while back and I just couldn't get into it.Dr. Zoidberg said:

I like the demo a lot. I haven't really played since the first game (finished it twice) for some reason I just couldn't get into 2&3. Now I'm excited again and will pick this up day 1.

Yeah, I mentioned that before. PS3 has a weird jump in fps with the cutscenes, but it lacks the aa which gives a it much more of a sharp picture. They're both great looking in terms of a demo. But is there any mention of any changes within the retail version? I thought I read that these demos are from TGS 2007?

I finally got a good grasp of all the justEX, its addictive to try to nail the timing with the combos and special moves.

Hrm. I mean I am using a lcd tv. They both look great. Just within both demos, the visuals are a little different. PS3 seems to lacking a form of aa but the color is damn good looking. While the 360 has that sort of aa to smooth those edged out but just a small pale of color. The boss fight in particular looks sooooo much better on the PS3.

The banding is in the game, not your tv. What made you think it was your tv, buyer's remorse?
