Devil May Cry 3 on PS4 Loses Out to Switch Exclusive Feature

Wait, what?

Capcom said there were 3 dates to look for, the 16th, 20th and then 13th. They didn't announce what these special features for Switch were yet. So um....thanks I guess?

Also funny that for all the PS4 exclusive modes and features games get, you're quick to moan

This reminds me of a certain echo of an elusive time. It seems they add new stuff to justify delays and steeper price tag on the Switch. I also own a switch but I find these differences annoying. Just let us choose the system and make all the versions identical.

so just like with Square Enix and FFXII, giving the other system a new feature and NOT bringing it to the PS4 version

i hate it when they do stuff like this, an exclusive costume, or a weapon those are fine but actual game modes or features should NOT be exclusive to one system, EVERY version of the game should have it

@Knuckles-Fajita Because its mostly crap i dont care about. 😉

Well that’s annoying considering I finished DmC3 two days ago. That would have been a really helpful feature tbh.

Not a big deal.its not a story dlc.word up son

You won't feel left out when you see its price 😂😂😂

Square Enix have been the worst for this. Particularly with regards to Dragon Quest 11. Some of the changes i dont mind. But im playing now and the music is just awful.

So the switch devil may cry game is only dmc 3 and the ps4 xbox one version has 1,2 and 3.
People stull buying this nintendo crap.

@Rob_230 Not started yet is it that bad?

@The_ghostmen this has nothing to do with Nintendo, it was Capcoms decision to sell the games separately on Switch

I'm still salty over additional character story quests and soundtrack in Dragon Quest XI on Switch!

Ahh yes, the Ninty favouritism continues. 🙄

@Knuckles-Fajita for example? Cuz the only recent one of note is COD which while still being crappy it IS going to other platforms eventually.

There is no reason to have this feature exclusive to Switch, even if they sold it on PSN it would be OK and the fact that DMC is synonymous with PlayStation really makes this even more baffling, ofcourse it's never wrong when it comes to Ninty right.🙄

@viciousarcanum Well its not Nintendo's decision. But CoD? Yeah Sony paid for that.

And on my initial point in the comment, I like how this got spoiled on a website that has nothing to do with the release on that platform

#featurebegging is the new #portbegging 😎

@FullbringIchigo Didn't a similar thing happen with the most recent Dragon Quest too?

@FullbringIchigo capcom's GREEDY desison more like.

@Robocod yep the Switch version had a new character i believe and an entire new game mode where you can play it like a 16 bit game

@Knuckles-Fajita, so it's alright when Nintendo gets exclusive features but when playstation gets an exclusive feature is wrong right? Always Nintendo is the good guy and sony the bad guy, you always have to be negative or contrary on this site.
PS: the majority of the users here are against exclusive features, whether it's this or the cod thing.

@Flaming_Kaiser I'm largely playing on mute im afraid. The music is super repetitive with the overworld music being identical regardless of where you are (open fields, forests etc). The towns dont appear to have different songs either and the fight music...its traditional DQ but its hardly the most engaging.

I cant compare the MIDI soundtrack to the orchestral option they offer on the Switch, but i know Switch owners can also swap to the DQ8 overworld music.

Im only 10 hours in, but the music has genuinely disappointed me in what is otherwise a good game, and i'm led to believe it doesn't get much better as the game goes on

Switch also got loads of additional story content missing from PS4 version

evil laugh Take that Sony scum!!!

@playstation1995 - This is actually a pretty big deal, while it may seem like nothing to most people it changes the flow of the game massively. Hopefully this gets patched into the HD Collection.

@Lobbo95 Don't pay him any mind. He does this quite a lot, and it's obviously just to draw attention to himself.

"The new Style Change system allows you to experience the action through a number of unique Styles allowing for unprecedented variety. Level up the Styles and weapons as you see fit and create a playstyle all your own,"
I.....think this is simply talking about the style system used in DMC3, not a new one that is more in line with later games. I could be wrong and/or the game could feature an altered style system, but this quote by itself seems to be talking about changing styles full stop, not changing them on the fly. Basically talking about the game as if it was new rather than 15 years old.

@FullMetalWesker - It's worded oddly but you're correct. The game locks you into choosing a combat style at the start of each mission, you can change style during the mission but only by visiting Divinity Statues. This addition allows at least the 4 basic styles (there are 6 in total) to be swapped on the fly like you can in all the games that followed 3.

“As the platform which birthed the Devil May Cry franchise”

You got “2019 action game of the year” with DMC5, that the Switch didn’t get at all.

Systems get different things.

@Agramonte - Regarding systems getting different things I don't think anyone would complain about unlockable Link costumes or something similar, a feature that fundamentally changes the way the entire game is played though should absolutely not be in one version of the game and not be brought over to the others.

@Rob_230 They could at least patch in the music option for the PS4 thats kinda sad. But i have too Square Enix isnt what it used too be.

@Shigurui And again, you got what is fundamentally the modern interpretation of the series. And this is being dumped direct to digital because there is Zero hope it will sell enough to justify a retail cart. So it cant be that big of a deal.

As a whole - Everyone on a PS4 is still on the better side of the fence when it comes to playing the DMC series (or CAPCOM support in general)

@Agramonte - This has nothing to do with how Capcom do or don't support a platform in general but how an absolutely game changing feature is put into one version of a game and not others.
