The story of DmC sees the return of Dante and his brother Vergil in a more modern day realistic setting on a quest to kill the demon Mundus who murdered their mother and imprisoned their father Sparda. For a more comprehensive review check out our original DmC review and our review of Vergil’s Downfall DLC.
This review will focus more on the improvements and additions made by Ninja Theory in the Definitive Edition. On the right is the PlayStation 4 version.Fast forward another two years, and Capcom re-releases DmC: Devil May Cry on the PlayStation 4 under the guise of the Definitive Edition and, just like the two-year old hack ‘n slash action game, the Definitive Edition does not disappoint. On the left is the two-year old PC release running at Ultra settings with HD textures and HD Anti-Aliasing applied. Oddly enough, comparison #13 with the Succubus actually seems to be partially in favor of the console. Regardless, the PlayStation 4 release still looks visually pleasing and runs well, not to mention sports a more minimized HUD. The anisotropic filtering is also lacking in the PlayStation 4 version, most notable in the second comparison shot, and there’s slightly less shadowing on characters, although not all that significant. While the new colorful shader makes Dante look a little more vibrant, it has trouble in specific lighting situations. The biggest advantage PC has over its PlayStation 4 counterpart is a more adaptable skin shader. We tried to organize the screenshots with the most noticeable disparities up front, but as you can see, differences from the two versions are minimal in most areas. As much as we’d love to include the Xbox One in this comparison, as well, we unfortunately were only able to get our hands on a PlayStation 4 copy.
With the release of DmC Devil May Cry on current generation consoles, we set out to determine how the game holds up after two years in comparison to its original “definitive edition” on PC.
