Capcom's Devil May Cry 4 Coming To PC This Summer

Demo With System Benchmark Mode Will Be Available Before The Game's Release

London — 23rd April 2008 - Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that the highly anticipated PC version of Devil May Cry® 4 is ready for release this summer. Devil May Cry 4 is already a certifiable hit in the console world, having shipped over two million units worldwide since its European release in February. A demo of the game will be released for PC players before the retail version ships, allowing PC gamers to try the game ahead of time as well as testing their system’s prowess with the included benchmark mode. The PC version of Devil May Cry 4 will feature new modes, enhanced graphics options and some additional content. Devil May Cry 4 has been rated 16+ by PEGI.

Good things come to those who wait as PC owners will benefit from having more modes and more visual customisation options to help enhance their demon-slaying action. Turbo mode will turn up the action to insane speeds, while Legendary Dark Knight Mode will harness advanced PC processing power and fill the screen with an unbelievable number of enemies for extra difficulty. Moreover, familiar enemies from the console versions will show-up in new locations in the PC version. The high resolution screen settings allow the cut scenes of the game to run at up to 120 frames per second (up from 30 frames per second in the console version of the game). Slider options are available to manage various visual effects seen throughout the game. Devil May Cry 4 for the PC will have both DirectX® 9 and DirectX® 10 modes and will also be compliant with the Games For Windows® program.

From the producer of the original Devil May Cry and Resident Evil® 4 comes the next instalment in the hugely successful stylised action series that has so far achieved global sales of nearly seven million units. Devil May Cry 4 immerses gamers in a gothic supernatural world where a new protagonist clashes with a familiar hero. As the new leading man Nero players will unleash incredible attacks and non-stop combos using a unique new gameplay mechanic: the powerful “Devil Bringer” on his right arm.

The PC version of Devil May Cry 4 will feature new modes, enhanced graphics options and additional content. Recently Capcom seems to finally starting to give PC a fair share (DMC4's main development platform was even PC)

who cares the hype is finished

DMC 4 arrives 6 months later on PC.

I wonder how long after Gears of War 2 launches on 360 it will be ported to the PC? 

6 months of delay is nothing for PC gaming. Most PC gamers don't care about having the game before others: why do you think Starcraft only sold 1.5 million in it's first year, but sold 8 million in the following years? Heck, over 10 year old games are still being sold.

The only thing we care is if the games don't get released already outdated. And until GeoW 2 gets released, I'm sure PC gamers will be busy playing the awesome exclusives on the platform with the best 2008 lineup (Spore, Starcraft 2, Mass Effect, Empire: Total War, Stalker: Clear Sky, Sins of a Solar Empire, A Vampyre Story, Perry Rhodan, Dragon Age, Space Siege, Warhammer Online, Zeno Clash, Audiosurf, Storm of War: Battle of Britain, WoW: Wrath of Lich King, Disciples III, Demigod, etc...)

Capcom has always done a crappy job at PC ports. Good to see they're taking this one somewhat seriously...

I assume this will come to Steam? I might be interested.

hm.... who could've thought the PC got more power than the cell???

anyway I cant wait for it to come to the pc.

Uh, I thought that. The Cell processor is not that special...it's better for number-crunching and perhaps physics iterations (dunno) than smooth graphics...which is what games emphasize these days. 

Just like how a Quad core processor will help your PC, but not exponentially with games or anything...most games won't utilize a quad core.

Steam is certain, if you want to play Lost Planet on PC, installing steam is mandatory for single player and compulsory for multiplayer.

Not sure why you would want to play Lost Planet on anything. >_>

Anyway, sounds good.  Definitely something I'm interested in.  Remember this game was actual built on a PC engine and ported down to the consoles, so it should be fairly well optimized and run well.
