    Hey guys,

    Does anybody know what happened to the Game? it was supposed to come on the 2nd on this month.. moreover, a demo was announced to come before the game is released with a built-in benchmark, so i heard the game will be released at the 8th, so anybody has information about the demo's Date?

    Thanks in Forward

    Here's a link to the past thread DMC4: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=254643

    Also, where's that darn demo Capcom? I'm keeping my figures crossed that my 8510p will be able to handle the game. This port is supposed to be good. I think I might pick up the xbox 360 controller for PC to play this game if my system can run it.

    I played the game on ps3, the first half of the game playing as Nero is very fun, but I didn't care for doing everything again as Dante. The last 4 missions are really fun though.

    I am SO glad I checked this thread. You've also made my day magma :D Do any of you have the xbox 360 controller or know if it can work with this game? I'm looking into getting a controller for DMC4.

    I just noticed on those screen-shots that the buttons match an xbox 360 controller. So, the xbox 360 controller should work fine for it. Countdown 3 minutes.

    Edit: So far only gamespot has the demo up and I will not become a member of that site.

    Downloaded (using getbot with the link from gamespot, hold G and spam RMB and it took about an hour to finish downloading) and played it with my controller. Looks really cool and runs perfectly with all settings on high at 1680x1050 with 80+ fps all the time. :D Can't wait for the full game! ;)

    Sweet. Right clicking and saving worked on that link. I'm keeping my figures crossed that my HD 2600 can handle this game. I know it doesn't come close to comparing to all you guys with your 8800 GTX and 7950 SLIs :(

    Edit: Wow, I'm on a fiber optic connection and my speed is fluctuating between 0 and 10 kbps.

    Edit2: Dropped me. I'll try again some other time.

    hmm... I don't see any legendary mode in the demo. There's only turbo mode I think. Just realise I'm actually getting 80-120 fps instead of 70+ fps. :p

    Actually I found some links to only the demo and not the demo + benchmark. This download is going around my normal speed of 550-600 kbps. Again, this is demo only, hence the smaller size. I figure I'll benchmark the game by, you know, playing it. Thank you nvidia Japan.

    http://jp.slizone.com/content/slizone_jp/demos/devil_may_cry_4/nzd_DevilMayCry4_Trial.exe

    The download speed is pretty dang good. I'm hitting 630 kbps from time to time as opposed to 0-10 from gamespot.

    Edit: I bet you get LDK mode by beating the game.

    Here's a link to the Nvidia Japan page where you can get the demo AND benchmark:

    http://jp.slizone.com/object/devilmaycry_jp.html

    Can any of you confirm that it works with the xbox 360 controller? I know I'm being paranoid, but I don't want to waste $40 on a controller.

    Okay it's pretty obvious that it does once I started the demo and saw the big picture of the controller.

    Just ran the benchmark (a few times with High and Super High settings) and apparently it is more demanding than the demo itself. :rolleyes:

    (everything on High @ 1680x1050 with no AA)

    This game is awesome!!! :D The only weird thing is that I'm not getting vibration from my controller (which does vibrate in other games)... :confused: I'm pretty sure the vibration option is set to ON but still it's not shaking... >_<

    What is you guys' FPS? I got around ~40 ish but I noticed that Nero moved quite slow and sometimes suddenly there was some kind of megaman's dash and he ran faster.

    check the posts in the first page, a member did benchmark test, and for the dash thing, Nero does speed up if you kept running for a certain amount of time

    Okay thanks, I try the benchmark again at 1280 X 800, no AA, super high for texture res and overal quality, shadow off (The shadows are horrible IMO), I got C. The lowest fps I got is around 22 or 23 at the 2nd test. My spec: T7200, 2GB of RAM, Go 7900GS@stock.

    p/s: Did you see the 3rd scene when Dante fought the boss? DAMN, his guns are awesome, there were like 4 or 5 kinds of gun and they were carried all at the same time. :D

    It gives you the option to play in English or Japanese. The game plays fine with an HD 2600 on stock clocks. I'm running at 1280x720, no AA, and settings on high. How has the controller been working out so far? Good except for the lack of rumble?

    I can't wait for the game to be released, arghhhhhhh. CAPCOM why you had to push it back to July. Hopefully, my friend will buy a Xbox 360 controller for my bday at that time. I'm currently using some cheap controller (Colorvis, anyone knows it) and really not comfortable with it (No rumble at all)
    BTW, here's my benchy result.

    Although this is more of a duh statement, DMC4 plays horribly with the keyboard. I'm going to have to get a controller.

    Has anyone gotten the game to worker under dx10? Colors/graphics seems to be messed up under dx10.

    Also, 8600 GT desktop 512 mb is the recommended spec for DMC4, and with my ddr2 card pushed to 600/505, I can get min of 30+ in all performance tests. Therefore, everyone who has DDR3 edition that is interested in this game can definitely enjoy it.
