Right: I’m going to mention piracy. That isn’t an open invitation to go absolutely barking, spitting crazy, okay?
So, lately it’s looked as though Capcom – traditionally very much a console publisher – have really been cosying up to the PC. The Devil May Cry 4 port was pretty slick as these things go, and soon we’re getting Street Fighter IV. The dark times are over!
But there’s a problem.

Because – much like big girls – PC Gamers don’t cry. Anyway – due to being confused and drunk a lot – in fact, I’m drunk right now – we didn’t post it earlier this week. We make our amends by posting this RIGHT NOW. Martin Lee was the first to mention that there’s a demo available for Devil May Cry 4. There’s two versions there, one just under 500Mb and one just under 900Mb. But I have no idea what each one does, due to the site being written in exciting foreign. Well – I do now, as Gamershell makes it clear that the smaller one is a benchmark and the other is the actual demo. Hell, with 300Mb difference, download the bloody demo already. Devil May Cry is a videogame and Leigh Alexander likes it and not just because it features bosoms.
Apparently.

Capcom’s demon-taunting sword-’n'-shooter isn’t traditionally a game that we desktop-box types to get particularly excited about, but Devil May Cry 4 really did have some of the most ludicrous scenes in any videogame, and hey, the sword action isn’t so bad either. The good news is that it’s going to be enormously scalable on PC, allowing folks with higher end 3D cards and multi-core CPUs to run amped-up game modes, as illustrated by the cramped fight going on that screenshot.
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.

Share ·Last year I had quite a bit of fun playing Capcom’s hack ‘n’ quip demon-slaying game, Devil May Cry 3, on the PC. Needless to say there were guffaws from DMC console fans about its conversion to PC (and to the Old Man’s Method of mouse and keyboard) but it worked. It must have sold a few copies too, because Devil May Cry 4 has been confirmed for PC, albeit confirmed for an indistinct time after the 360 and PS3 versions.
More on foppish demon slaying after the jump.
