Support NeoGAF

[dmcAxle]

Game fell off the top seller list and Popular new release list of Steam the moment it released. Weird. Kinda annoying since it's not visible on the front page at all and it does impact sales. Hope they fix it soon.

But RE1 did and DMC1 basically aped the level design of the RE games.

And by level design I mean how the levels are actually framed out, their progression and their interconnectivity... not how they look visually.

That's because DMC1 was originally BIO3 (and BIO4) and the level and stage design was handled by the likes of Yasuhisa Kawamura, who worked on BIO3. About 80% of the stage design in DMC1 is exactly as it was when it was a BIO game, most of it just slightly altered to get a more demonic tone.

 

[Menthuss]

Running this on a 290x.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Downloaded quickly, now the install is taking forever. It lets me play the first mission and nothing else. I can't even access the menus. I hate this.

As we all know, it was originally conceived as RE4, and the main inspiration of its stylish juggling combat came out of a glitch from the RE-style Omninusha. So much of DMC1's puzzles, level design, and progression come straight out of those 90s PS1 RE games.

waiting for the game to unpack

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Gonna give the game another go after breakfast. I think I was just too tired to play well last night. Def gotta get used to Lady's ranged mechanics though.

Gotta use them charge shots. Kalina Ann charge shot owns some bosses hard. She definitely becomes less clunky with some upgrades.

I map shoot to R2 to hold charges easier.

 

[Dahbomb]

Guy you don't have to tell me that DMC1 used to be a RE game. I know all of that.

 

[Korezo]

I may have some bad news guys. It seems that the PC version of SE is not as well optimized as Vanilla DMC4. Not sure how true this is though.

Isn't a 295x a crossfire card? And thats says 295x 2 so thays 4 gpus? Thats why it probably runs like crap.

 

[Jotamide]

While not as great as vanilla DMC4, I have a relatively new GTX 970 that should guarantee me a steady 60 FPS, right?

 

[Coda]

Have to say, it's pretty difficult going back to this game after Bayonetta 2. Bayonetta 2 had some PS2 level design but it made up for it with all the set piece moments and amazing action. I know I'm comparing a 2008 game to a 2014 game, but I'm realizing I got pretty hype over a game that seems bland by comparison. Maybe I just need to get gud.

 

[Unit24]

Wow, DMC4 is way, way easier with Vergil. He is equipped to deal with any situation. Even Dante was a pushover, at least on Devil Hunter difficulty.

 

[SpiceMelange]

While not as great as vanilla DMC4, I have a relatively new GTX 970 that should guarantee me a steady 60 FPS, right?

Yeah, but that game shouldn't need a card near that power for 60fps to begin with.

 

[Primethius]

Performance seems fine to me at 3200x1800:

Time to get in and get some Vergil action going on.

 

[jediyoshi]

Neat, unlocked early on PC

trainers = piracy!

 

[Dahbomb]

Pay to win breh!


Honestly paying $3 to get pretty much all of the moves in the game is not that bad. Neither is $1.50 to unlock all the modes in the game.

 

[drotahorror]

On PS4 it seems like my blacks are a bit crushed. Only game I've ever noticed this with on ps4. Could be the artstyle I guess.

Besides, in a game like this one it wasn't designed with the microtransactions from the get go. If that's what they'll put in so that the game launches at $25 so be it.

 

[Manatox]

Don't know if its just me, but it looks pretty awesome on PC, much better then i remember vanilla DMC4 (tho i can't confirm that since it's been many years since i played it).

 

[robotzombie]

I've had friends say how amazing DMC4 looked when I was playing on PC that didn't bat an eyelash at the Witcher 3. It's really weird just how well everything comes together in the looks department for this game on PC

 

[toastyToast]

I was shopping through skills and then it hit me between seeing Vergil's skills in the DMC4 engine and the soothing ass store music, a single tear rolled down my cheek.

We here now brehs

 

[Anteater]

alright this shit is unpacking, I thought I'd just play witcher 3 or some shit but fuck those games i'm going to sit here, drink my beer and wait until it finishes unpack

or fall asleep waiting.

 

[mtlam]

Performance looks ok to me as well, ready to slice n dice some demons.

 

[Dahbomb]

One thing is for sure, DMC4 has aged quite well. Looks really nice still while playing. Nice and clean.

 

[ResidentDante]

Bought the game on Euro PSN now, after about five error tries it finally let me purchase it. Downloafing now, even though it first tild me it was 4 hours to go.

Edit: Special Edition theme downloaded first, it's locked. I'm guessing I have to wait!

 

[Xyber]

I may have some bad news guys. It seems that the PC version of SE is not as well optimized as Vanilla DMC4. Not sure how true this is though.

It's AMD and it's crossfire, disable 1 GPU and you will probably get better results.

 

[Anteater]

game still has the most fluid animation to this day, it still remains god tier

 

[nded]

Just enough time for benchmarks. DMC4 SE doesn't perform as well as the vanilla PC version, but I want to say at least the shadows look a little better.

DMC4 SE | 2560x1440 | 2x MSAA | Max Quality

DMC4 Vanilla | 2560x1440 | 2X MSAA | Max Quality

 

[Remembrance]

There is a Japan-only DLC listing to watch the cutscenes stitched together?

[Dahbomb]

And the animations for Vergil are just outstanding.

Honestly Vergil feels like a full 3rd character to Nero and Dante.

 

[Corpsepyre]

So, I guess I'll be playing this tonight instead of Arkham Knight. Good, good.

 

[Rarius]

Game seems to run in slow motion for me, like, not even a framerate issue, just... like we're wading through molasses.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

If I want to mess around in bloody palace is it worth just buying the unlock for all the modes?

Or would it be best to unlock it the normal way so that I can get some new skills before playing it?

 

[Clawww]

LETS ROCK

 

[Stone Ocean]

Neat, unlocked early on PC

Red Orb microtransactions are some petty shit lol

But glad to know I can get the pre order costumes later.

 

[kewlmyc]

At least it's better than the other port that came out today.

 

[GuardianE]

MT Framework games will forever look good. DMC4 is no exception. People are just forgetting how goddamn good this game looked 7 years ago.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

At least it's better than the other port that came out today.

Gonna be playing a LOT of DMC until Alfred patches Bruce up

MT Framework DA GOD

why did capcom drop this engine again

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

Game does not seem to be very well-optimized. Runs significantly worse than the original version and lots of people having issues.

 

[Sykotik]

Definitely runs much worse for me than vanilla. Vergil's stinger can even cause the game to pause briefly. Some areas cause noticeable drops even when nothing is happening.

2600k, 7970. 1080p max settings, no AA.

Bummer.

 

[MCD]

Is anyone's menu unresponsive? Xbox One version here playing via External Seagate HDD.

The menu where you select Mission Start/Mission Menu/Power Up. Controls unresponsive till I wait for 15 sec or so.

Weird.

EDIT: I think it's my Xbox acting funny.

Yeah seriously.

I'm tempted to do this, but I don't think it's on the PS4.

 

[Dahbomb]

Yeah seriously.

I'm tempted to do this, but I don't think it's on the PS4.

It should be on there if you go to the PS Store from within the game. I tried to go yesterday but the shop was done.

 

[toastyToast]

Is there a code or something for SoS/DMD? Rather not play devil hunter or should I do LDK to start off?

 

[Dahbomb]

Is there a code or something for SoS/DMD? Rather not play devil hunter or should I do LDK to start off?

Yeah there's a code.

You go to the main menu, go to PS Store, then go to where it says "Unlock all Modes" and select "Add to card".

 

[GuardianE]

Yeah there's a code.

You go to the main menu, go to PS Store, then go to where it says "Unlock all Modes" and select "Add to card".

lol

Word.

Thanks for all the help you post in the DMC threads btw. Good to see folks like yourself supporting good series like DMC.

 

[Arttemis]

Oh man, I'm also so rusty at this game.

Having played DMC3HD a lot more recently than I have DMC4, I really wish I could choose only 2 weapons instead of toggling through three. Three gives me the feeling of never being confident in switching weapons on the fly, and makes me feel like I need to memorize preset combos for aerial juggles and such.

 

[direct_quote]

Being at work right now is killing me. I should have taken the day off.. I haven't even tried lady and Trish yet!

 

[DXLelouch153]

ok so does vsync matter much cause i get a huge fps boost without it
also antialiasing?
