Devil May Cry 4 should be hitting retail shelves in the next day or so, and since the demo is available on both the PS3 and Xbox 360 you can test out both versions to see which one you prefer. We enjoyed the demo on the 360, simply because it was available first, but news has been circulating that the game requires a one-time 5GB install on the PlayStation 3. Oh the humanity! It can take upwards of twenty minutes before you get to play! Gamers, as they often do, sounded off on the message boards. Capcom, as it often does, responded in a somewhat amusing fashion.

"It's true: the first time you drop your DMC4 Blu-ray disc into your PS3 tray, you're going to be treated to an exciting 22-25 minute load process as the disc spins a few gigs of data onto your hard drive," writes Chris Kramer, senior director of Communications and Community. "While the game is loading, you get to watch a really nifty series of screens that completely catch you up on the DMC4 backstory. Think of it as compressing the last three 'seasons' into a single info blast, accompanied by some fantastic DMC artwork."

He then says if you don't need to catch up on the story, go make some food. You'll need to be able to concentrate on the game, and that's hard to do while hungry. "Low blood sugar will make you dizzy and you’ll need to be focused like an Alan Parsons Project to defeat the enemies in this game."

Why should we put up with this OMG TRAVESTY? Simply put, "the PS3 version of the game has near-Super Nintendo speed load times. You'll be amazed how fast levels load, the virtually instantaneous transition from cut scenes to action and that you’re continuously playing the game, as opposed to staring at loading screens of a door opening every time you move from one room to the next."

That sounds worth a few minutes at the beginning. I'll most likely be picking this up on the PS3 to shorten the loading times; I have my sandwich-makings ready to go.
