Devil May Cry 4 ‘Getting Pirated To Hell And Back’

1:20PM Luke Plunkett | When it comes to keeping PC gamers in the loop on their console games, Capcom have long been one of the good guys. And how do PC gamers repay the favour? Same way a lot of PC gamers always do: with mass acts of piracy. When quizzed about the state of Devil May Cry 4’s PC sales on Capcom’s forums, Christian Svensson replied: I’m not sure about how Capcom in general feels but It’s not doing as well as I would like in the US at retail. It’s such a good version and it really deserves better sales. I know it’s getting pirated to hell and back (it was up on torrents literally the day it shipped). Leading Capcom to throw their hands up and complain about the state of piracy in the PC market, right? Nope! Svensson instead goes on in great detail about the company’s big plans for future digital distribution on the platform, which is encouraging reading for the kind of people that think playing DMC4 on a PC is a good idea. Are Capcom pleased with DMC4’s PC sales? [Capcom] More »

Devil May Cry 4 PC ALMOST Dated

4:20AM Mark Wilson | We’ve already heard that Devil May Cry 4 is coming to PCs, but now we almost know when. This winter. Yes, that’s as specific as Capcom is getting at the moment. In addition, a demo is promised and DMC4 PC will be sporting some new modes, too: 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. I dunno. In the PC gaming world, “new modes” and “additional content” are beginning to feel more and more like a lame apology for showing up 2 hours late to a dinner party whilst reeking of Whopper Juniors.
