PS3 Devil May Cry 4 Demo Not Out Til Next Month

12:00PM January 24, 2008 | Logan Booker

You may have read recently that the demo of Capcom’s Devil May Cry 4 will be available on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 tomorrow.

Activision has just let us know that while the demo will hit the 360 as promised, the PS3 version won’t be out until February 1. Not a major calamity, really, but I was under the impression the PS3 was the lead platform for the game and naturally, would receive stuff like this ahead of Microsoft’s console.

Activision did not provide a reason for the delay, but I doubt it’s anything nefarious.

Update: For our international visitors, Capcom does not have a local presence in Australia. All its PR, distribution, etc, is handled by Activision. So yes, when we say Activision, we mean Activision.

Update 2: It should go without saying that this story is relevant to Australian PS3 owners only. Not that it matters, as you can easily grab the demo off the Japanese PSN.

“Next Month” sounds a lot more dramatic than “Next Week” which is when it’s actually happening.

I hope capcom hasn’t sold out and the 360 is the main platform with a lousy port to the PS3

What are you smoking Kotaku?
Last I checked, Activision has nothing to do with this game.

The PS3 isn’t the lead platform, Capcom already confirmed the PC is the lead platform for DMC4.

That’s too bad… was looking forward to playing it on the native console. Guess I’ll have to settle for the 360 demo instead; no matter anyway, it’s out in two weeks!

No idea why international visitors would be on Kotaku AU vs. Kotaku US though? (other than possibly Google searches)

@Spik3ballon: Google, other game sites linking to stories and n4g.com. :P

And this is why I prefer the quiet, considered opinions and comments of the Kotaku AU site.
