They really should release a PC port for DmC: DE :bored:

And it's really confusing since announcing and releasing a PC port would only serve to increase hype and sales for the game.

Y'know, as obvious as it is that they should get on a port for the PC, more often than not I see a whole lot of indignant "Oh look! 60fps and turbo mode! Features I had on PC years ago~" It's like...why bother giving them what they so smugly claim they had long ago :/

But there are still a lot of other features in DmC
E that you can't get on the vanilla PC version.And it would be unfair to deny all PC users the product just because a minority of them were being smug.

Because DmC DE has more stuff with modes, the DMC1 skin, referbished ablilities, and such.

I'll just get right to the ass kicking.
Well maybe DmC: DE is not coming to PC because they still can't get the freaking thing locked at 60FPS on the god damn next gen consoles without drops while on PC it never drops below 60FPS even once and has loads of power to spare and maybe Capcom doesn't want PC too look better than consoles yet again so they don't have to put effort into future ports.

Well, and that's the rub. People bein' smug are just bein' punks about it. Like I said, it's obvious that there are reasons to want those Definitive Edition features on PC.
I don't understand why people are so up in arms about them not talking about it; the guys at Capcom-Unity aren't in any position to speak on such matters, they might not even know (they aren't the dev team after all), so speaking on it could give out the wrong information and rile the community up either way - they say it's coming and it's not? They riot that it isn't. They say it isn't coming and then it does? They riot at their comments that it's supposedly not and feel jaded when it does.
Like seriously, benefit of the doubt would be nice for them, methinks.
Now...I'm not exactly an expert on the technology, but from what I know locking something at a specific framerate is to take something that can run higher and locking it lower so as not to tax the system and cause drastic dips in fps - like DmC on PS3/Xbox360, the game itself can run at a higher framerate than 30 (we see it on gaming rigs that can handle framerates like that, like 120), but it was locked at 30. Similarly, the new consoles can certainly handle a lot more than their predecessors, allowing the game to run at the higher framerate it's capable of because the systems can now handle it.
So to speak - not being locked at 60 doesn't sound like anything unreasonable. I don't think I've heard of any game on the new consoles that is locked, because I don't think they can handle higher than it. What's the point of locking it? It's a cap on how high framerate can go, not how low.

First off, of course Capcom Unity is not the guys to ask, @TWOxACROSS. I agree there and in fact Vash, in the description, said that too. It's Capcom themselves. I said that too, earlier. Capcom, not Capcom Unity.
As for the locking, games get locks to prevent an inconsistent experience with frame drops. Like going from 60 to 40 or whatever.
I think what @xMobilemux meant is that even on a superior hardware, DmC still struggles to reach 60FPS constantly, as it still drops below that on a few occasions, according to Jimenez.

Part of me wonders if it's a response to the rampant downloading of DmC's PC release, considering to do so is fairly easy, and there was a lot of widespread commenting on being proud to do such a thing :/
It happened with Dissidia 012 where Square stopped releasing character skin DLC halfway through their distribution campaign because they saw how often it was downloaded.

I think the clever thing for Capcom to do would be to release the new stuff as DLC to the PC users, they would make money of of it, but they would also save costs if they decide to not print it on physical disks.
I'm staying mildly curious about all of this, but I don't think they won't release it on PC.

What are you gonna do with all that power?
All I'm saying is that I think it's a little strange that the new features of DmC: DE were inspired by the PC community, but then they go ahead and not say a single thing to anyone who asks for a possible PC release? I'm fine playing on my PS4, but if they eventually (hell, even if they do so in August) bring the new features to the PC version as an updated (paid or not, for a reasonably price I don't care) version, I'd gladly pay for it again.
Since things like the turbo mod can be installed manually, the only things that are really new are the costumes, Vergil's Bloody Palace and Gods Must Die, so I wouldn't want them to charge a lot for it (since Dante's Bloody Palace was free).

Thanks^^
School really kicked my ass this Semester, but that's pretty much over now!
I'll send ya a PM later, there are some things I'm curious about^^
Yeah, it is kind of weird, but at the same time it's not like it didn't happen before (DmC's PC release was not announced early on as far as I remember), I guess they simply want to get next-gen users first and all people who got the game already next.

Yeah, but the whole point of half the new content is BECAUSE of PC players. xD

I thought it was for the developers to become adjusted to the new systems?
I mean, of course some of that stuff was possible on PC and was popular there, but I don't think it was just because of PC players, unless I've missed that, I'm not really up to date lately.

I'm not saying that the definitive edition was because of the PC players, I'm saying that some of the new features like Turbo mode and disabling the timer on Bloody Palace mode were originally PC mods that made it into the console game.
I just think it's kinda weird to take that idea (that's really good btw) and then just literally not utter a word about a PC update.
