Applying this new setting increases the speed of the game by 20%. Everything is now super smooth, and it makes the combat seem more fluid than ever, especially when Turbo Mode is activated. While the resolution doesn't make a huge difference during gameplay, the higher frame-rate does.
Dmc devil may cry definitive edition xbox one 1080p#
First off, the visuals have been given a bump up to 1080p and the frame-rate now holds at a constant 60fps. Now that we’ve covered the basics, it’s time to address what makes this definitive edition so definitive, and to find out if it’s been altered and beefed up enough to be worth revisiting. We’re typically pretty immune to that kind of stuff, but we understand that others might not be.
Dare we say that it’s second only to Bayonetta? Oh, we dare say.įor the record, this is an extremely mature game with an in-your-face attitude, no shortage of vulgarities, and grotesque creatures that might not be to the liking of all audiences. The combo-driven combat undeniably has a learning curve that might turn away some players, though once you figure it all out, it’s incredibly deep and grants you enough freedom to develop your own style of play. The complaint that's primarily associated with games that are determined to share a movie-like and rich story, is that there’s too much style and not enough substance. What’s more, as we alluded to previously, the gameplay is bloody fantastic. Even though the story isn’t exactly Shakespeare, it’s wildly entertaining, largely thanks to a stylish and flashy cinematic presentation. Of course there’s also a bit of backstory, a few plot twists, and plenty of other details we’ve intentionally left out, but that’s pretty much the gist of it. Dante, along with the aid of an organization called The Order (not to be mistaken with Sony’s werewolf-hunting gang that’s recently been in the spotlight), undertakes the task of freeing the planet of Mundus’ control. They’re ruling the world by drugging humanity through soft drinks and manipulating them with propaganda-fuelled media. Without giving too much away to those that have yet to play it, demons, led by an uber-powerful leader named Mundus, are essentially brain-washing and controlling humans from the shadows. You play as the smart-mouthed, seemingly always-sneering Dante, a Nephilim with a cloudy past and a devil-may-care attitude. The plot centers around angels, demons, and a hybrid of the two races called Nephilim. Developed by Ninja Theory, DmC is a third-person action game with intense hack-and-slash combat and trippy, mind-bending platforming. We felt that scene in particular drags on a little bit for the opening sequence and frankly, we didn't like the line.Let’s recap some details for anyone that’s not up to speed. "It wasn't a case of censorship as there are far more suggestive scenes in the game. "We did make an edit to the opening cut-scene," Antoniades explained. Instead, the change was due to the pacing of the scene, and the fact that the line was not liked internally. In a statement to Eurogamer, Ninja Theory's chief creative director Tameem Antoniades admitted the developer had decided to trim the scene for DmC's new release, but insisted the decision had not been taken with a view to censoring its content. The game pulls no punches in its depictions of sexual content - including a rather uncomfortable sex scene, again with Mundus and Lilith, albeit one that does not include nudity. Lilith: "What's the matter? Wait - what's the matter?"įor what it's worth, both the original release and the Definitive Edition of DmC hold a PEGI 16 rating in Europe.Nothing left but to grab it by the hair, bend it over and -" Lilith: "The world is at last your bitch, as am I.
The game's new version, due to go on sale tomorrow for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, boasts 60 frames-per-second gameplay and 1080p resolution.īut Eurogamer spotted a small change to one of the game's cut-scenes. DmC Devil May Cry developer Ninja Theory has removed a snippet of sexually suggestive dialogue from the action adventure's Definitive Edition release.
