There's good news, though. The game will use the PSN for ranking modes. You'll also be able to collect achievements in the game (like in the Xbox 360 version) and you'll be able to see what achievements your friends have collected (a la Xbox Live).
Finally, SIXAXIS controls have been added to the game. By tilting the controller, you'll be able to control the camera. It's not a significant extra, but it is a nice, subtle way of using the PS3's tilt functionality.

I'd only complain if I had a game console that normally only comes with a 10 to 20 gig drive. But nah, my game console has a 60 gig drive.

Uh, I *do* have a 20GB HDD on my PS3, so yeah I'm a bit pissed that I'm *required* to give up 1/4 of my hard drive if I want to get the PS3 version of this. Of course, my 360 just red-ringed on me, so it's not like I have a lot of other options (until my coffin gets back to me).
That said, the game looks cool, but a) is it going to be God-damned impossible like DMC3? and b) am I going to have to hold my arms perfectly motionless if I don't want the camera to move?

Well at least the PS3 drive isn't a perprietary drive, you can buy any standard laptop drive and up the storage space, unlike the 360 that has a Microsoft X-box only drive in a special casing. That's all I'm really trying to say. I'm sure DMC4 will be difficult, but not as insanely difficult as 3 was. From what I understand they added a bit more balance by allowing Dante to switch stances during gameplay and not by going to some statue. Also Nero has some kind of Devil Bringer to help chain combos, I guess to many people complained that combos knocked back villians to much thus breaking combos. So the Devil Bringer allows you to knock back, then pull back the enemy to you to continue your combo chain.
So now you can do Killer Instinct level combos. ULTRA COMBO!

One does hope that the camera control isn't obligatory.

I'm pretty sure it'll be optional like in Heavenly Sword. Anyone else use the tilt-camera in that one?

I thought PS3 'achievements' were called 'accomplishments'?
I forgot what game I was playing and it said "accomplishment completed".

I think it was probably only in that one game. Was it The Darkness?
U:DF has 'medals', which are basically the same thing as achievements.

May have been Darkness.
Either way, doesn't matter...I gotta go back and play DMC 1 - 3 now...

You could always just play 1 and 3, and 'accidently' forget to play 2. ;)

The install doesn't bother me in the slightest. I mean, the only people who have to worry about that would be those that keep loads of videos on their hard drive ... but I'd imagine most of them have already upgraded to like 100gb hard drives...
I can kind of see the tilt function working, but it could also just turn out annoying. I hope we have the option of turning it off in any case, 'cos it may well just end up ruining the game for some if you can't.
Not all that bothered about achievements, but I'm sure others will welcome their inclusion.

Problem with the install, imo, is that the game is no longer ‘plug and play’. I always considered that to be a ‘feature’ of console games as opposed to PC games where you always have to spend a long time installing them before you can play them.
If next year you’re long done with the game and un-installed the game data, and a friend comes along who wants to give the game a quick try, you have to tell him to either wait 10 minutes for the game data to install or to try another game. That’s annoying.

Thinking about it, the tilt frees up an analogue stick. I actually like the idea of being able to tilt with the controller. It would have made games like SotC much easier and another open command stick could only be a good thing.

Hmmm I wonder if this 5GB is only on the PS3 version. It'll be good to have no loading like on Uncharted. If the 360 people have to do the 5 GB save thats gonna piss alot of them off. lol!

Because the subject is inevitable...
PS3 version vs. 360 version.
PS3 version advantages:
- no load times,
- slightly better visuals,
- a better feel to the controller,
- Sixaxis support.
360 version advantages:
- no mandatory install.
Both have:
- Rumble,
- Achievements.

Does this mean that having load times counts as an advantage for the 360 version?

well heres the thing fanboy
the ps3 vers will no doubt still have load times,
it wont have slighty better visuals since capcom said they're both equal and gametrailers posted a comparison which most people agree'd were clones,
'better feel for controller' is a matter of ones opinion and not of the general ps3 community
sixaxis support, well if its like any of the other games it'll be gimmicky and limited.
and only duel shock 3 has rumble,
