DmC Devil May Cry - PC Performance Analysis

DSOGaming writes: "Capcom has released the PC version of DmC Devil May Cry and it’s time to see whether or not QLOC ported this console action title properly to our platform. The actual game is developed by Ninja Theory and – contrary to all previous Devil May Cry titles – is being built on Epic’s Unreal Engine 3. As a result of that, DmC Devil May Cry runs incredibly well, even on relatively low-spec PC systems, and looks surprisingly good."

It performs very nicely. The only thing I have complaints about is the texture pop-ins. It IS UE3 after all, so my complaint has no real depth to it, seeing as this is an issue with the engine(or possibly the developers); as seen on other games that use it.

camel_toad4105d ago

Yep same here. I was actually going through Batman Arkham City again (but on pc this time) and then jumped into DmC. It's nice looking for what it is but boy am I worn out on the UE3 engine.

landog4105d ago (Edited 4105d ago )

even if the graphics were not insanely better on pc (which of course they are), the pc version would still be the on to get just for the fact it runs at 60 or more frames per second even on mid-range, 4 year old graphics cards

add in the lack of jaggies that plauge the last gen ps3/360 and lower texture counts and much lowers resolutions and the $10 hike in price and it begs the question, why on earth would you buy this and all other multiplats on anything but pc!

i'm not even sure if i will buy the ps4/nextbox for the first few years, they certainly won't be able to do what my pc can today

but if they have enough amazing exclusives and can at least maintain 1080p with no jaggies i'll have to bite

kevnb4105d ago

the only reason I have any consoles is to play sony and nintendo exclusives. I also got red dead redemption, but thats it.

clovis2124105d ago

I'm getting A LOT Of screen tearing during the cutscenes. I have a GTX560 Ti card, i7 processor and 32GB ram. Everything in the game is maxed out. Should I disable Vsync and enable it in the Nvidia control panel?

deadfrag4105d ago (Edited 4105d ago )

scenes, cutscene, play oR run independent of the gameplay engine they were post produced.They most likely have the FMV sequences(cutscenes) not running Vsync because they were ported directly from the console versions.If you are running 1080p and the cutscenes are made for 720p you will get more screen tearing because you are not running them at native resolution,in this case the native resolution is the one from the console cutscenes 720p so even enable or force vsync in control panel will not work.And the native cutscenes in the console version have screen tearing and run in some instances below 30fps.

adorie4104d ago (Edited 4104d ago )

That's odd. I am running with a GTX 560 TI 2GB (oc'ed) 16 gb of ram OC'ed to 2133 and core i7 2700k OC'ed to 4.4 ghz. Everything is smooth as butter but the texture loading. I have 0 screen tearing. Also, are you sure you have Vsync on? I would think your setup would be doing that because it's moving more frames than your monitor can handle.

This game is leaning more towards AMD, so that could be something to note. (hopefully Nvidia breaks out the drivers for performance increase) *checks Nvidia site, just in case*

I like it. Looks really good.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC3d ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos3d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga3d ago

Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5

2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me

Friendlygamer4d ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6023d ago (Edited 3d ago )

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya3d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde3d ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP3d ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.
