Is there a kind admin who would like to confirm 3 anime names for me? Army of Two (360/PS3), Assassin's Creed (game), and Devil May Cry 4 (360/PS3)

it generally helps to provide links to a website that can help the mods/admins confirm the source.
...and this should probably be in site help or the mod drop dox.
A mod will probably move it sometime

Let me break this to you, Army of Two and Assassin's Creed probably won't be confirmed since they aren't anime as defined by this site.

Army of Two: http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/825/825894.html
Published by: Electronic Arts
Developed by: EA Montreal

In development for a year at EA's boutique production house in Montréal, Canada...

Assassin's Creed: http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/834/834724.html
Published by: Ubisoft
Developed by: Ubisoft Montreal

To put things into perspective, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, developed by the same crack team at Ubisoft Montreal...

Devil May Cry 4, DOES qualify. http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/894/894664.html
Published by: Capcom
Developed by: Capcom Production Studio 1

You see, Capcom held a stage event for its big TGS showpiece, bringing out producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi for a short demonstration of the "work in progress." Kobayashi also brought along the game's director, Hideaki Itsuno.

Plus,

Kobayashi closed off with the big news that Capcom had been promising prior to TGS. Devil May Cry is being converted to an anime! The animated series will feature Dante as the main character and will begin airing on Japanese cable in 2007.

Any loophole that can be placed in there? Assassin's Creed can be written off somehow >,>. I've seen Halo MVs... I've seen MGS videos, the only legality to MGS is its "japanese" creators, but even then thats a dim reason.

Just to mention... your sig is too big

Well, if it's got a combo of sources, it may be acceptable. For example, if it's 50% DMC4 and the rest of the video is the other 2 sources, then you are probably good to go. If the DMC4 footage percentage is less, then the percentage of it qualifying is less, in a exponential proportion.

Since the name of the site is ANIMEmusicvideos.org, and there are oftentimes a tight relationship between anime and Japanese video games, the game movies and cutscenes are accepted as anime. As such, MGS videos are considered anime-based here.

But, just like non-Japanese 'anime-style' cartoons (Teen Titans, Avatar, etc.) aren't considered anime by this site, neither is footage from non-Japanese video games (Halo). If you see AMVs on this site that violate these requirements, you should report them to the admins. Some of these Halo videos were probably uploaded when the confirmation of non-anime sources and videos was looser in the past.

Hmm, its a darn shame its a pain in the butt to get anime footage usable in certain programs... oh well, back to slave labor

Not here, but there are other sites that are interested in Western game MVs. (This is animemusicvideos.org, if you hadn't noticed.) I don't know whether machinima communities are OK with footage captured from in-game cinematics rather than staged/acted out footage, but you can always ask them.

Failing all else, there's That Site With Lots of Random Clips of People Ranting Too Close to the Camera and Stuff.
