While both the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles support ray-tracing, the lower-end S console won't necessarily benefit from that as often as the higher-end Series X. We are already starting to see this be the case, as Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition will no longer have ray-traced lighting on the Series S.

In a statement posted on Twitter, Capcom clarified the features we can expect from the Special Edition on next-gen consoles. One of the key differences between the Series X and Series S versions will be in removal of ray-tracing on the series S.

While the Series S will miss out on ray-tracing in Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition, it will still get enhanced audio, reduced loading times, a 120 frames per second gameplay option as well as new content like Turbo Mode, Legendary Dark Knight difficulty and the new playable character Vergil.

Capcom did not elaborate on exactly why ray-traced lighting had to be removed from the Series S version, but it did try to smooth things over by saying that both the Series X and Series S “deliver amazing next generation speed and performance”, adding that they are “just scratching the surface of what they can do”.

KitGuru Says: Perhaps there just wasn't enough development time left to spend optimising the Series S version for ray-tracing. Although I do expect we'll see graphical features like that sacrificed more often on the Series S compared to the PS5 and Series X. Either way, it will be interesting to see how developers handle the two different console SKUs over the course of this generation.

Capcom has been doing very well with its efforts on the PC gaming side of development for a few years now. Unfortunately, the publisher has hit a bump in the road this week with Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition, which has graphical and performance enhancements that will only be available on next-gen consoles.

Speaking with Eurogamer about the decision, a Capcom spokesperson said that the game is “specifically being developed and optimised to benefit the system architecture and leap in processing power offered by PS5 and Xbox Series X”. He then added that there are “no plans” for Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition on PC.

The weird part about all of this is that a lot of the features they are developing to take advantage of have been available on PC for a long time now. Enhanced CPUs, better GPUs, fast SSDs etc have all been staples of high-end PC gaming for years.

The other part of this is that ray-tracing will be exclusive to the console versions of the game, a particularly odd stance given that AMD is about to release new GPUs with ray-tracing hardware acceleration and Nvidia has had GPUs capable of this very feature for over two years now.

KitGuru Says: There are a number of players protesting this decision on the Devil May Cry 5 Steam page. It is an unfortunate turn of events for what is otherwise an excellent game all around. There doesn't seem to be a good reason that these features couldn't be on PC, so hopefully Capcom will take notice.

While cracking efforts have sped up over the last couple of years, a lot of major game publishers still rely on Denuvo DRM to protect launch-period sales on PC. This has drawn criticism as Denuvo is often seen as overly heavy and harmful to game performance. Publishers counter this by removing Denuvo after a certain amount of time, with Devil May Cry 5 being the latest example. 

Last week, a change occurred to Devil May Cry 5 on Steam, updating the .exe file as seen on SteamDB. While official patch notes don't specifically say Denuvo has been removed from the game, the Steam Store page no longer has it listed, so it didn't take long for the news to be pieced together.

Denuvo was an issue for Devil May Cry 5 at launch, as it caused heavy CPU usage spikes. Now that the DRM has been removed almost one year after launch, the game should run smoother on a wider range of systems.

Of course, Capcom's other big games like Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and Resident Evil 3 Remake will continue to use Denuvo, but if you were concerned about performance for DMC 5, then you should be able to jump in now.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: Devil May Cry 5 is a fantastic game so if Denuvo was stopping you from trying it, then be sure to give it a go now. Have any of you had issues with recently released games featuring Denuvo?

Earlier this month, Devil May Cry 5 launched to great critical acclaim. We already knew that the game was selling well, as it debuted at the top of various chart lists. Now, Capcom has revealed a more specific number, with Devil May Cry 5 surpassing two million sales in just two weeks.

The sales milestone was revealed by DMC 5 director, Hideaki Itsuno, during a GDC panel last week. While early reports claimed that Devil May Cry 5 would be a timed PS4 exclusive, the game ended up coming to PC, Xbox One and PS4 simultaneously, which appears to have been the right decision.

For context, it took several years for Devil May Cry 4 to surpass three million sales. With that in mind, Devil May Cry 5 should surpass its predecessor in record time.

Capcom has been on a sharp rise since 2017, with Resident Evil 7, Monster Hunter World, Resident Evil 2 Remake and Devil May Cry 5 all going on to be massively successful.

KitGuru Says: Devil May Cry 5 is an excellent game, so it is nice to see it getting the recognition it deserves. With Capcom now delivering hit after hit, it will be interesting to see what comes next. We already know that there will be a Monster Hunter World expansion this year but after that, anything could happen.

This has been a very successful year for Capcom so far, with Resident Evil 2 Remake and Devil May Cry 5 both launching to extremely positive reviews. With Devil May Cry 5, Capcom has also managed to crack the UK's top-ten chart, with the game debuting at number 1.

With Devil May Cry 5 entering the UK sales charts, Anthem has been knocked down a few notches. Surprisingly, Far Cry New Dawn is also doing a solid job at staying in the top ten, despite middling reviews.

Here is the full UK top ten for the week ending on the 9th of March:

  1. Devil May Cry 5.
  2. Red Dead Redemption 2.
  3. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
  4. Anthem.
  5. FIFA 19.
  6. Far Cry New Dawn.
  7. The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame.
  8. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
  9. Metro Exodus.
  10. Grand Theft Auto V.

The GFK Chart-Track only counts physical copies sold. Still, this year's big releases seem to be doing well and as usual, Take Two is continuing to rake in cash thanks to Rockstar's hits.

KitGuru Says: Devil May Cry 5 is very flashy and as usual, the combat is fun. Have any of you picked this one up yet?

Nvidia has kicked off this week with three announcements. For starters, a new Game Ready driver is debuting today with optimisations for Apex Legends, we've received news that the list of ‘G-Sync compatible' displays is expanding to include more options and a new RTX GPU bundle is also on the way.

We'll start off with the new ‘Triple Threat' game bundle. Recently, AMD has been providing competition for Nvidia with bundle deals on the Radeon VII, Vega 64 & 56 and the RX 590. To combat this, Nvidia is bundling three games that showcase RTX features with the RTX 2080Ti and RTX 2080. These games are of course, Metro Exodus, Anthem and Battlefield V. If you grab an RTX 2060 or RTX 2070 instead, you'll be able to choose one of those three games instead.

At CES in January, Nvidia announced that it would finally start playing nicely with FreeSync. GeForce GPU owners can now switch on G-Sync on any adaptive sync display, although Nvidia has a certification program in place for displays that work best.

The list of ‘G-Sync Compatible' certified monitors has now expanded to include the following:
• BenQ XL2540-B/ZOWIE XL LCD
• Acer XF250Q
• Acer ED273 A

Finally, the latest ‘Game Ready' GeForce graphics driver is available starting today. This includes optimisations for Apex Legends, The Division 2 and Devil May Cry 5. Apex Legends is of course already out and thriving, although DMC 5 doesn't arrive until Friday and The Division 2 will be available next week.

KitGuru Says: Game bundles are always a nice addition, although I still think RTX prices could stand to come down a bit. Are any of you planning to pick up one of the big game releases this month?

The post AMD is bundling Devil May Cry 5, The Division 2 and Resident Evil 2 remake with RX 590 first appeared on KitGuru.]]>
Over the last couple of years, big Triple A game/GPU bundles have died down a bit. AMD in particular has had great success in this area in the past, with huge bundles that often let gamers choose from a list of good games. This year, AMD is bringing these bundles back, with the launch of the RX 590 being accompanied by a 3-game bundle, including Devil May Cry 5, The Division 2 and Resident Evil 2 Remake.

All three of these games have one thing in common- they don't launch until 2019. Still, if you end up picking up an RX 590, you'll end up with codes for three of the biggest games set for release next year. Since none of these games are out, they are essentially $60 each, turning this bundle into a $180 value add-on for the RX 590.

The RX 590 itself starts at £260 here in the UK , so this isn't a bad deal at all. Beyond that, the card is pretty good to boot if you are still looking to play at 1080p with high graphics settings. We've already reviewed the Sapphire RX 590 Nitro+, which you can check out HERE.

This three-game bundle will be available for the RX 590 in addition to RX Vega GPUs for the foreseeable future.

KitGuru Says: Obviously, the appeal of this bundle will vary from person to person. To me, it seems like a very good deal as I am excited for all three games to come out next year. Have you guys been checking up on reviews of the RX 590? Are any of you thinking about picking one up?

Devil May Cry 5 has had several impressive showings since first being announced at E3 earlier this year. The game is shaping up to be an excellent return to form for the series and while it won't be out until March next year, it looks like the developers already have the PC system requirements locked down.

Devil May Cry 5 sees the return of series creator, Hideki Kamiya. It also ends the series' ongoing hiatus since Ninja Theory's DMC reboot. We'll all have our chance to hack and slash as Dante and Nero once again on the 8th of March 2019.

If you are planning on grabbing the game on PC, then you can check the system requirements well ahead of time. Here are the minimum requirements:

  • OS: Windows 7 64-bit or newer.
  • CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 or better.
  • RAM: 8GB.
  • GPU: Nvidia GTX 760 or better.
  • Storage: 35GB.

And here are the recommended system requirements:

  • OS: Windows 7 64-bit or newer.
  • CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 or better.
  • RAM: 8GB.
  • GPU: Nvidia GTX 960 or better.
  • Storage: 35GB.

As you would expect, a controller is recommended for playing a game like this. In addition, the store page listing claims that multiplayer and co-op modes will be available in DMC V, which is something that Capcom has yet to officially announce or show off.

KitGuru Says: From the looks like it, Devil May Cry 5 won't be too demanding. I've been a big fan of the series since DMC 4, I even enjoyed Ninja Theory's take on the series, although I am glad to see the series back in the hands of its original creator. Are any of you planning on picking this one up?

Back in June, Capcom told investors that Devil May Cry 5 will be launching before the end of March 2019. Now today at Gamescom, the final release date was announced. Devil May Cry 5 will be coming out on the 8th of March 2019.

With DMC 5, Capcom is returning to the series' roots after a brief hiatus following Ninja Theory's DmC reboot, which many hardcore fans had issues with. The game is playable at Gamescom this week and some lengthy gameplay sessions have already been uploaded to YouTube. The following is 15 minutes of gameplay from Arekkz Gaming:

Capcom's Investor Relations page put out a press release letting share holders know that Resident Evil 2 Remake and Devil May Cry 5 will be launching before the end of March 2019, making it out in time to cap off the fiscal year.

We already know that Resident Evil 2 will be launching on consoles and PC on the 25th of January. Devil May Cry 5 doesn't have a final release date yet, but from the looks of it, Capcom is aiming for late March.

With DMC 5, Capcom is returning to the series' roots after a brief hiatus following Ninja Theory's DmC reboot, which many hardcore fans had issues with.  We'll likely be seeing more of the game later this year, either at Gamescom in August, or during PSX in December.

KitGuru Says: I didn't really have any problems with the DmC reboot, but I'm still happy to see the series return to its roots, with the original director back in place. Are many of you looking forward to Devil May Cry 5?

Just a few weeks ago, a huge Devil May Cry 5 leak was unearthed, promising a 2018 release date and a reveal at E3 this year. Aside from various gameplay elements, the leak also claimed that Hideaki Itsuno, the director of DMC 2, 3 and 4 was returning for this one. Now, Itsuno has taken to Twitter to announce that his secret new game is almost finished.

Over on Twitter, Itsuno posted the following message to fans and followers:

Following E3 2017, Itsuno apologized to fans for not having anything to show that year. It looks like in 2018 the story is going to be quite different. Capcom is currently in the process of bringing a Devil May Cry HD collection to the PC, so it seems like this year would be a prime time to release a new main game for the franchise.

If last month's leak turns out to be accurate, then we should see Devil May Cry 5 by or during E3 this year with a release date penned November. There might be some PS4 exclusivity going on, though that apparently won't stop the game from also coming to the PC.

KitGuru Says: Devil May Cry 5 hasn't been confirmed as Itsuno's secret project, but it seems likely. Hopefully it will win back fans of the series following the controversial DMC reboot.

Capcom has been quiet when it comes to Devil May Cry for a few years now. However, it looks like 2018 might be the year that the franchise gets thrown back into the spotlight. According to an apparent leak this week, Hideaki Itsuno, the director of DMC 2, 3, 4, has secretly been working on Devil May Cry 5, with a release date planned for sometime between November 2018 and ‘early 2019'.

The leak was posted over on Resetera. The post is lengthy and contains a lot of details surrounding production, the development team and even story elements. Whether or not this will all prove true remains to be seen but for now, let's jump in to what is being reported.

For starters, this game was initially planned to be unveiled at Sony's Playstation Experience (PSX) event in December. However, after receiving feedback on this year's E3 press conference, Sony has decided to hold some announcements back for E3 2018. Devil May Cry 5 is supposed to be one of those announcements.

The game has reportedly been in development for two years already, with the team currently entering the third year. This would mark the longest any DMC game has been in full production. However, there is a Playstation exclusivity deal going on behind the scenes. Apparently, the game will be exclusive to PS4 consoles, but a PC version will also come out at some point.

The reveal trailer for the game has been sitting around for months and is apparently 1 minute and 50 seconds in length. It is likely that we will see an updated version of this trailer, since the reveal was pushed back. This game is said to have the ‘longest cutscene runtime' of any DMC game, so it should have a fairly meaty story going on.

As far as gameplay is concerned, the post claims that Dante will be playable for sure, with Nero being a possibility. A third character may also be playable. Characters will switch during key story points in the game. Elsewhere, the post states that level design and exploration will be similar to Bayonetta with huge action set pieces, though this will be without the QTEs.

There apparently won't be a stamina bar at all, the dodging system has been reworked, the camera system has been reworked, boss fights are said to ramp up dramatically and finally, the style system will make a return.

KitGuru Says: This is an unverified leak, so it may not be entirely accurate. However, given how much time has passed since the controversial Devil May Cry reboot, it makes sense to bring the franchise back in 2018.
