Devil May Cry (PSP) set for debut at the E3

Is 2ch more fanboyish than uh,....EVEN GAMEFAQS?!?!

It can't...be....

I don't think we have to worry about Capcom screwing up another DMC game, it's quite obvious they know what works having put out DMC1 and DMC3.

According to the insane Japanese fanboys at 2ch released Friday, Capcom is about 60% done with the PSP iteration of Devil May Cry, and it's set for a grand debut at E3. It plays largely the same, even without the right analog stick.

fixed.
 
2ch is more like GAF than GameFAQs. It's full of fanboys, granted, but there's some people that provide really good information, and a bunch of people group together to make good projects on several occasions.
 
They milk, because people buy.

Funny how when DMC PSP is revealed it'll be on the top 10 of most wanted charts for PSP. Fans want, Capcom delivers.

To be fair the entire comparison is off-base to begin with. 2ch is more than what any other online community can ever dream to be, it's an entire subculture. Since we're not talking about just one forum or a series of boards covering a specific topic, comparisons to GAF and Gamefaqs are all off. 2ch covers everything from earthquakes, news, manga, current TV programs, social debates, piracy, freeware projects, anything under the sun. All of it ORGANIZED too, so organized and detailed and it has its own navigator programs developed to navigate and post on 2ch like newsgroups.

Hell, that's the best comparison ever in fact, 2ch = Japan's version of newsgroup servers except web-based and easily accessible for anyone with Japanese knowledge. It covers every topic any Japanese would ever be interested in, and you will find rumors, news and hoaxes on anything there.
 
Duckroll is right, 2ch is fucking fantastic and I'm regularly invited by my Tokyo amigo to participate BUT I DON'T KNOW JAPANESE. Anyways I'm regularly linked there and I do my best to translate the small bits and pieces. It comes off (and I'm told) that it's an awesome community.

Devil May Cry for the PSP will be fucking fantastic but I'm more interested in what they plan on doing with the camera and save system. This is a portable so that US DMC3 difficulty/save system bullshit won't fly here.
 
I loved DMC 3 (as I commented in my blog and here) but I would LOVE to see a return to the roots of the series. Less stylish stuff and more gothic kick-assing. The first one is one of the nicest games ever when it comes to architecture.

Also, what the hell is the URL for "2ch"

http://www.2ch.net

After entering, you will find all the topics that are covered listed on the left frame, arranged by categories. Clicking on each topic will open the threads and listings on the main frame. There are no pictures and it's all in Japanese text. On a web browser it's a bitch to navigate and find any information. You can get navigator software which will make viewing MUCH easier. I use Gikonavi personally. It's pretty much impossible to just "scroll around and look for information" like most people do with Japanese gaming news sites and blogs though, so if you don't understand any Japanese I really suggest you not bother.
 
Also, everyone tells me that there is hardly any game piracy in Japan.

I find that hard to believe, but eventually when several game developers state that piracy in Japan is nowhere near that of US/China, and even residents of Japan say similar...gets me confused.

I mean, sure no matter how unpopular it is or isn't, there still might be a board for it...

Although you may mean "music" or "movie" piracy as opposed to game piracy.

As it's much easier to pirate music/movies. And the "Loader" over there requires the actual game, unlike the released version here.

If you're really interested in all these subjects, I suggest you start a topic on OT. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who'll be more than happy to discuss these issues, but entertaining your curiosity in this thread any further will make it go REALLY off-topic. :(
 
Ohh, there is a way to improve 2ch browsing? I'll have to try that out. The site has plenty of information, but it's pretty messy looking.

You can find it at http://gikonavi.sourceforge.jp :D
 
I think this is fake but I managed to navigate 2ch and this was stated as the concept art for the DMC (PSP)

Even if it is fake, that's pretty damn good O_O

Agreed. I personally hope that DMC(PSP) is pretty close to the console versions in the main play mechanics...or fuck...make it a side scroller metroidvania killer
 
pretty much what I meant was that DMC is already close to CV...translating DMC to 2D side scroller would actually work well with abilities/weapons Dante has. Included SFII-like close combat weapon must be there :D

edit: yeah, pretty much :)
