DMC: Devil May Cry Xbox One, PS4 Release Date Moved Up

1080p/60fps Definitive Edition now scheduled to launch March 10, a week earlier than previously expected.

DMC: Definitive Edition, the upcoming remastered version of 2013's DMC: Devil May Cry for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, will launch sooner than previously anticipated. Capcom on Tuesday announced that the game will arrive March 10, 2015, a full week ahead of its previously scheduled release date of March 17.

Capcom didn't say why it moved the date up, but did release some new screenshots for the game, which you can see in the image gallery below. Be sure to click each image to bring up a full-size version.

Announced in December, the $40 game will run in 1080p at 60fps across Xbox One and PS4, and is described as an "improved and optimized" version of the game that will deliver a "definitive" experience.

The Devil May Cry Definitive Edition also comes with all of the game's previously released expansion packs and some new modes, including an uber-challenging option called Gods Must Die.

This "Definitive" stuff is getting out of hand now. QUIT buying them!!! We need more NEW games not slightly prettier versions of so-so games from a couple years ago, it's a pretty shameless cash grab. The PS4/X1 should have been backwards compatible from the start so we could have avoided this foolishness.

Could someone explain to me , how come the above HD screenshot's file format is jpeg, but the file size is just around 200kb, how did they done it . Normally i capturing with fraps to a jpeg file, the size would be 2mb. So how do i reduce the size like how that did and yet keep the high quality ?

<< LINK REMOVED >> maybe they just change the quality in the photoshop when you export the image. There is a option with high quality or maximum quality. Or maybe you can change the dpi from 300 to 70 or 90. It will reduce the image size.

I want to see more on this DMC4 special edition rather than the DMC definitive edition, maybe then they can make a DMC5 and finally make an elder Vergil as the main character, here's my pitch to you CAPCOM if by some crazy minuscule miraculous chance you see this comment on a relatively okay gaming website


The story is set after the events of DMC2 and Dante had just defeated Argosax the Chaos (The Final boss of DMC2) in hell then the gate to hell closes with Dante is trapped there, fast foward a few years the demons left on Earth from the events of DMC2 still ravage the earth and they grow more powerful, there are only three strong fighters against the demon forces remaining Nero, Lady and Lucia whilst Trish disappeared after there was no sign of Dante anywhere.


Lucia seeks more power to defeat these forces then becomes consumed and possessed with the power of a demon and decides to engage in a war for supremacy with the evil forces meanwhile Lady searches for a way to bring back Dante and tries to convince Nero to help her, Nero refuses and shows only interest in protecting Kyrie, during an encounter between the ravaging demon forces and Lucia, Kyrie is slain.


This enrages Nero and he engages in combat with the dark forces and Lucia, however he fails and is greatly overpowered and becomes injured, so Nero joins Lady in their search for Dante by tracking a sanctuary that foretells of a legend of where a son of Sparda can be summoned through the use of the legendary blade Yamato, after going through rigorous trials Nero is successful in completing the ritual and the blade gathers the essence of the Son of Spardas soul and combines it into one then arises the reborn son, however instead of their expected result of summoning Dante, it is the particles of Nelo Angelos essence that are gathered which results in Vergil being reborn with Yamato in his hand. Vergil sets off to save his brother to repay him for saving him and become king of the Human and Demon world


Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen DMC5 game with 3 missions as Nero, then 17 with Vergil and once you complete the game you unlock Dante, 10/10 game GOTY, CAPCOM maaaaaake it

I might get a PS4 just for this game. In all my gaming life I've never beaten a DMC game so this would be suit me just fine. I really want Capcom to remake the Onimusha series in HD! That series especially the first game and the third game were nothing short of great.

This game was the best in the series by a landslide. Took away the nonsensical and completely absent story of the first ones and replaced it with one that actually makes sense. Dante is a whole hel-of-a-lot more believable as a character than his personality lacking former self. Not to mention the Art style has vastly improved.

Really the only problem I had with this game is that you couldn't lock on... oh wait that's been fixed now. Can't Wait.

am not a DMC fan by any stretch of imagination. I played 1,2,3 and played some of 4. none of them is great. 3 was the best. it was a good game. it wasn't a great game. i really hated the save system and the repetition throughout the game. recycled enemies, and especially recycled bosses. the 2nd game wasn't all that good. it was ok. i really don't know why they're still making DMC games. i mean they're just not great. they need to put it to sleep.

Devil May Cry is one of the best game series of all time.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Best? Ninja theory desecrated Devil may Cry series. DMC 3 was the best in the series period. DmC replaced always smug daredevil Dante with some little smoking twerp with dildo sword... And hair FFS the whole game plot is Dante changing his hair in the end. His devil trigger transformation was ridiculous. Hell I enjoyed 4th one more then this and I hated Nero. Turning Dante in to a cracker was a bad idea. Dante shouldnt be hel-of-a-lot believable he's a half demon half human, how many half demon half humans you know?

If I hear about another "definitive" edition, especially a game that doesn't need it, I'm gonna take a big Taco Bell-sized dump on my console and list it on Ebay with the free accessory.
