Devil May Cry 4 demo coming to XBL and PSN this Thursday

Devil May Cry 4 demo coming to XBL and PSN this Thursday photo
     PS3

If you were all excited to get a demo of Capcom's Devil May Cry 4 on January 31 (as reported), I have some bad news -- it won't be available on January 31. How does this Thursday, January 24, sound instead?

Capcom tells us that the demo will indeed be available this week, on both the PlayStation Store and Xbox LIVE Marketplace. We're told the playable demo will introduce gamers to Nero and the use of his "Devil Bringer," through a "sampling of sections from the full game."

Devil May Cry 4 hits shelves on February 5, which gives you approximately two weeks to decide whether or not it'll be worth your hard-earned cash.

Now this is what you do with a demo: early enough to try it out before the game hits, but still close to the release.

Sweet. That is some great timing, as long as the demo is good I could actually see this increasing their sales. Unfortunately I won't be seeing the full game for a while.

Hah. Looks like PS3 users don't get the mandatory "wait 2 and a half days after 360 users have been playing it" on this title's release :D

I just realized that this might end up like the Bioshock demo, and we'll all end up downloading 1% of the DMC demo every 2 hours.

Well I'm nervous and yet excited. You see my 360 is on its way back and I'm praying it's not another broken one. It should arrive this week according to the tracking number. I've been without my 360 for two months and I'm borderline Jeff Conway in rehab. I wake up in cold sweats and I fumble through my words.

Damn I was hoping to play through 3 before this came out. I probably just won't have the time.

Good stuff, can't wait to see what this looks like. But something tells me this will take forever to download. Maybe I'll try to get it on friday instead of thursday.
