Devil May Cry 4: Release Date Announced

Capcom has announced at their Gamers' Day that Devil May Cry 4 will be released for the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 in February 2008.

"The highly anticipated Devil May Cry 4 immerses gamers in a gothic supernatural world, where a new protagonist clashes with series mainstay Dante. As new leading man Nero players will be able to unleash incredibly powerful and stylish attacks and non-stop combos using a combination of the Devil Bringer arm and the Exceed system, both of which are new gameplay mechanics for the series. Fans of Dante won’t be disappointed as he too will be playable during the course of the game.

Set in the costal city of Fortuna, the game’s action begins when Dante bursts in on a ceremony being conducted by the Order of the Sword, an ancient sect based in the coastal city of Fortuna, which worships Sparda the devil warrior who saved mankind. As Dante begins indiscriminately slaughtering sect members Nero fears for the safety of his childhood friend Kyrie and confronts Dante in order to protect her.

With players taking control of Nero, the immense power of the Devil Bringer begins to be revealed as a fierce confrontation against Dante ensues. After an intense struggle Dante decides to leave this particular fight for another day and makes good his escape. Chasing after him Nero is suddenly stopped in his tracks as mysterious portals begin appearing throughout Fortuna spewing forth ghastly demons. What is the reason for this demonic invasion, is Dante responsible?"

Mysterious Logo: PLAYSTATION Network Logo

But now, we know what it is. A new advertisment in a magazine tells us that it is the official logo for the PLAYSTATION Network. They need to mess with it a bit.

Ratchet & Clank: Week Early Release Confirmed by Greg Phillips

Earlier today, it was confirmed by Sony that Ratchet & Clank is coming at it's original release date. To make it more official, Greg Phillips, Line Producer for SCEA posted on the official PlayStation.Blog.

"As frequent Playstation.Blog readers will remember, about two weeks back we announced Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction had gone gold and would ship to stores Oct 30th. Well, due to some unexpected quickness at the factory, a vast majority of retailers have already received the game. With that, some retailers are choosing to release the game next week instead of waiting until the 30th, which we are all too happy to allow :).

Official launch date remains October 30, but for those who can’t wait to use your trigger fingers on the Tornado Launcher (or any other weapon in Ratchet’s arsenal), check with your local game retailer next week. "

Street dates broken much? I'll make sure I get my copy.
