So yeah–DMC4 is out and available NOW on PC !

I have to say, this is the PRETTIEST PC game in Capcom’s history, not least because of some pretty amazing optimization. We were playing with all the detail maxed on a laptop and running a smooth 60 fps even during crazy combat.

It’s also got a bunch of juice beyond the console release, including Turbo Mode, aka “Tweaker’s Delight” (it’s about what it sounds like–the whole game plays waaaay fast), and Legendary Dark Knight Mode, which adds 1.21 jigawatts of extra badguys on the screen, just because it can!

Buy it now ! and hit the jump for the full press release…
