Devil May Cry 4 tears up PCs this Summer, demo on the way

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Apr 23rd 2008 at 6:30PM }

You know the industry's come a long way when consoles are no longer the exclusive domain of androgynous, sword-waving jackasses with glowing demon arms. Capcom has sent us a reminder that the Personal Computer version of Devil May Cry 4, the latest (and commercially successful) entry in its slash-and-shoot saga, is due to arrive "THIS SUMMER." Said version will enhance Nero and Dante's adventure by adding "new modes, enhanced graphics options and some additional content."

For those not sold on the joys of launching demons into the air and then shooting them repeatedly, Capcom will offer a demo and performance benchmark before the retail version ships.

This game had some truly great bright crisp looking graphics!

I always thought it used the U3 engine it seems it uses MT Framework.

It really looks good.MT Framework point to a new Megaman Legends game.I hope this turns out to be true.

Yes! MML ftw! We also need some mmx games

I don't see how you could play this without a controller. If so, what's the point of a pc port?

mundox @ Apr 23rd 2008 10:21PM

Playing with the keyboard it's easy. Actually I played DMC3 with a keyboard not a problem.

And either way you can get a pc gamepad cheap.

You can use adapters on the market to use console controllers. If you're a PC gamer, odds are you already have a controller anyway ( I use the adapter to use my XB360 wireless controllers ).

I see what you did there.
if i could i would [+1]

good to see it coming to PC, I wonder how this would work with KB-mouse though?

StuScotsLazyEye @ Apr 23rd 2008 6:51PM

After that...thing...that got released not too long ago called DMC2 Special Edition for the PC, what's there to be excited about?

Mr.ESC @ Apr 23rd 2008 7:13PM

PC ports of Capcom games = Not good.

PC ports of Capcom games by Ubisoft = SH*T.

I still regret buying that PC port of Onimusha.It was unplayable at best.

"Said version will enhance Nero and Dante's adventure by adding "new modes, enhanced graphics options and some additional content.""

Take that, PS3 and 360 fanboys, claimin that their version of DMC4 is better! LOL *flame bait*

Spooner @ Apr 23rd 2008 11:04PM

Maybe Capcom will add the ability to EXIT a game without having to bring up the Task Manager on this port.

"Legendary Dark Knight Mode" seems interesting.

I liked more how it looked on the XB360 but spawning tons of enemies sounds interesting.

They should enhance the Dice game. It wasn't a bad concept but it was poorly develop.

A multiplayer board game with DMC4 would pwn if done right.

4 to 8 player roll a die to the finish line and the way is full of traps, monster, rewards, unlockables, ways to trap your opponents, challenges and others etc etc.

While the quality of ports to PC are still a bit lower than I'd like, I'm actually pretty fond of the trend of things getting released late-- but with more features.

Since I get the game a few months after it is out, the hype has completely died. Yahtzee has usually gotten a review up-- I can actually know whether its worth the money or not.

And who doesn't like new features?

Remember when they ported Resident Evil 4 to the PC and it had no mouse support?
I was thrilled after buying a copy for myself and to further find out I couldn't use the mouse, and was forced to use the arrow keys on the keyboard. Awesome.

Is it just me, but do most Capcom PC ports look completely terrible compared to their console counter-parts? Resident Evil, as mentioned above, lost planet, and DMC3...etc

On topic though, I really hope this version will be on par with the PS3/360 versions, graphics wise, as well as Fluidity of the Control system.

My guess is you'd be forced to use a gamepad anyways.

Mr.ESC @ Apr 23rd 2008 7:51PM

You think those are bad? Try onimusha 3 Pc.It is a massive pile of sh*t and failure.

Mischa @ Apr 23rd 2008 7:40PM

Okay Ludwig, you've hit the "tears up" pun quota for devil may cry. It's making me sad.

HighFiveJesus @ Apr 23rd 2008 8:25PM

The PC port of lost planet was fine to me. I already knew not to expect much as its console affair was best described as "good at first". I wouldn't wanna play this though on a keyboard and mouse. Its hard enough on the consoles to get freaky amazing at it.
