Devil May Cry 4, RotK XI get PC dates this summer

By Tom Magrino, GameSpotPosted Apr 23, 2008 5:59 pm PT

Extended edition of Capcom's action game getting PC demo before release; Koei's 11th installment in strategy series hits the platform on July 29.

Considering Devil May Cry 3 made the move to the PC 10 months after its PlayStation 2 counterpart, the keyboard-and-mouse friendly edition of Devil May Cry 4 ruffled far fewer feathers than the Xbox 360 version. With the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions having enjoyed ample success when they launched in February, Capcom today said that the PC version of the game will ship out this summer.

The PC game will benefit from an extended stay in purgatory, as it comes equipped with two extra modes, some additional content, and a variety of graphical customization options. In Turbo mode, the game will be sped up to an even faster pace than the original, while Legendary Dark Knight mode will up the difficulty by dramatically increasing the number of enemies thrown at the player.

As for visual customizations, PC gamers will be able to increase the game's resolution settings to allow cutscenes to run at 120 frames per second, up from 30 in the console versions, as well as manage various other graphical effects. DMC4 is compatible with both DirectX 9 and 10. In advance of the game's release, Capcom also said today it plans to release a demo to give gamers a chance to test their rigs against an included benchmark mode.

The PC edition of Koei's Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI also received a date today. With the PS2 game out last February, Koei said today that its long-running ancient Chinese historical sim would arrive for the most venerable of gaming platforms on July 29. In the latest installment in the series, players will be transported back to China's Han Dynasty circa 2nd century A.D. The game offers more than 40 base commands and in excess of 780 "uniquely individual personalities" that players can interact with.

    >.> All I can say in light of this is that if I don't see some DLC for DMC4 in the reasonably near future (Within three months after the PC version release sounds fair, to give the PC version a little temporary exclusivity) I will be a very unhappy fangirl.

    Great...thats all we need is more sloppy console poo..
    The game only scored an 8 and we are supposed to be grateful for that?
    Assasins Crude was the most boring game ever....and we want more of that.?
    Even the PS3 version reviewer( DMC4) said it was repeptitious.
    I mean these kinda games are the reason I don't own a console...

    I did kinda like GoW though....

    But some games should just stay where they come from....console..ughh

    I can't wait for them to release this new difficulty as DLC on PS3 and 360 I need a new challenge : ). DMC4 was nothing compared to DMC3 in terms of difficultly.

    Unless the port is sloppy and filled with bugs and lacks a billion features most PC games have by default....
