The series appeal is not limited to games; an animated TV series to be broadcast on Japan’s WOWOW network is slated to air Spring 2007. The latest iteration, “Devil May Cry 4″ will take advantage of each platform’s hardware strengths to achieve the most stunning visuals in the series to date, and the introduction of a mysterious new protagonist will keep the action fast and fresh.

In addition, Capcom’s use of an integrated development environment is one of the many methods being employed to improve efficiency and help take advantage of the cutting-edge functionality in next-generation systems.
Capcom will continue to produce titles that appeal to users while pursuing a multiplatform strategy to help enhance profits.”
I’m not really upset or anything. :P Its a bit disapointing that PS3 has lost another exclusive but I understand why. The PS3 is 4/5 months old, there aren’t enough consoles in homes to handle a popular exclusive like Devil May Cry4 from a developers point of view. Though saying that, lets hope that other Sony exclusives don’t go this way. :P Hopefully this choice by capcom means that Devil May Cry 4 might come out a little sooner than we thought.
