For the most part, and when it comes to games from Japanese publishers, the PC version of high profile console releases are always an afterthought. Despite the fact that the PC person is often the most cherished, since it provides the best audio/visual experience (or at least in theory).
Which is why Capcom's announcement that their Devil May Cry reboot, DmC, will be released onto PCs on January 25, just ten days after the Xbox 360 and PS3 release date, is such a shocker.
The port is being developed by QLOC S.A. and will include full AMD support, including AMD Eyefinity multi-display technology and AMD CrossFire technology. Which allows two or more graphic cards to be utilized simultaneously, to produce the most eye-popping visuals possible.
Not only will one be able to get 60 frames per second, which is the holy grail of visual output on consoles, but you could even get more, since no maximun limit on fps. Alex Jones, the senior producer for DmC, states:
"DmC Devil May Cry’s performance on AMD is amazing, it pumps up our already incredible visuals and effects to the next level, making it an even more immersive and intense experience."
