The PC version ran at upwards of 100fps, but Definitive Edition is only on consoles, so it’s clear who it’s aimed at.
Running at a smooth 60fps, I only noticed any issues on the second mission. Despite the fact that numerous fan suggestions have been taken on board and included, this is still the same wonderful game that failed to set the charts alight back in 2013.Īside from the obvious visual upgrade to 1080p and better textures (it looks as lovely as the original did on PC – not quite a new console game, but lovely all the same), the frame rate is going to be a big draw for console gamers. If you hated the game, or couldn’t get past the fact that Devil May Cry isn’t being handled by the original people, or that his hair colour has changed, nothing about the Definitive Edition will change your mind.
Let me lay my cards on the table right here: I was a massive fan of DmC, and I happen to think Ninja Theory are a hugely under-rated developer.
