Who says PC gaming is dead? Not Capcom, as they've announced Devil May Cry 4 will be coming to PCs this summer. The game is said to feature new modes, enhanced graphics options, and "some additional content."
The newly added "Turbo Mode" will simply speed up the game's action to "insane speeds," and the "Legendary Dark Knight Mode" is an increased difficultly mode that will fill the screen with an "unbelievable number of enemies." Additionally, enemy placement seems to have changed a bit, as Capcom is saying that familiar enemies from the console version will appear in different and unexpected areas. The game will support both DirectX 9 and DirectX 10, and will run at a ridiculous 120 frames per second, provided you have the rig to support it.
A demo for Devil May Cry 4 -- including a system benchmark mode -- will be available for the PC before the game ships.
[Just for poops and giggles, I checked in with Capcom to see if console gamers could be expecting any updates that might include either the "Turbo Mode" or "Legendary Dark Knight Mode."
"As of now, there are no plans for the PC-exclusive features to be features on the console versions," I was told.
I was also told that while it's not planned, it may also still be a possibility in the future. Who would want to play those modes in 30 frames per second anyhow? That's so two months ago.]

I would've loved for these modes to be added in the 360/PS3 version. But Capcom doesn't want the game to have DLC....so they say
The ps3 or xbox 360 cant handle the game at 120 fps.
PC are far ahead of consoles 120fps is common across most games.
hell in 2003 when unreal champion ship on xbox could only get around 30 I was peaking at 150 fps on almost the same game known as ut2003.
It still works that way disable the cap on UT3 or call of duty 4 bioshock, orange box or any other port and the games will soar way ahead of the console version frame rate and stay there on any decent PC with filtering to improve visuals and at higher res..
But I am still not going to buy it for my PC since capcom screws everything else about the PC versions up.
120 frames per second for me, yeah!!!!!!!
PC is teh haxxorz!!! Consoles are the loseRz!!
Plus a DEMO? How very nice of them, bucking the no demo trend i see...
For EXAMPLE, RE 4 was done by the horrible, horrible, Ubisoft that has traditionally sucked ass in the PC porting arena...
Oh wait... PC? nevermind, thats fine. Good luck running it, ahha.
If by 'enhanced' they mean palming it off to Ubi to do some truly awful port and disable most post-DirectX 7 effects in the process and have shit all in the way of configuration options then yeah, it'll be real 'enhanced' I'm sure.
You act like you would need something huge for to get. it's not A super PC game like crysis, or how doom 3 used to be in 2003, or any other PC game that pushed stuff.
Or ati gpu. even cheep dirt cheep radeon HD 3850, for only
$200. I will even be nice and show a special sale that gives you ATI radeon hd 3870, Ati secound fastest card ever made to this date for only $169.
update your GPu enjoy 120 fps in most every console game (though games like bioshock and call of duty 4 are really PC games.) at tripple digit frame rates.
more shaders and vertex processors that the tiny xbox 360 gpu has higher res than 1080p.

At that price 3870 is steal and I would buy 2 maybe even 3 if my motherboard was not Nvida sli and I just bought 2 9800Gx2,
but you only need one 3870 to run a wimpy console game like devil may cry 4 at max 120fps, unless the programers broke it.
