DmC: Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 4 head to PS4, Xbox One
The Definitive Edition of DmC: Devil May Cry is due out on Xbox One and PS4 on March 17, 2015, for $40. Devil May Cry 4 is scheduled to hit the same platforms in summer 2015. DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition includes the main game, all DLC (including the Vergil's Downfall campaign), plus new modes and costumes. The Definitive Edition runs at 1080p and 60fps on both consoles, Capcom says. "New to DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition, players will be able to play as Dante's twin brother himself in Vergil's Bloody Palace Mode," Capcom writes in a press release. "For an extra depth of challenge, players will be able to try out the added Gods Must Die difficulty level and Must Style Mode as well as Hardcore Mode, which has been designed to play more like the classic Devil May Cry series." Capcom will implement balancing and fan feedback in the Definitive Edition, including a Turbo Mode that speeds up gameplay during some stages for faster combat. The new costumes in the Definitive Edition are inspired by classic series designs – here's hoping for a mid-length bleach-blond wig for Dante. Or maybe a pizza shirt. More details about Devil May Cry 4's transition to next-gen are due "in the coming months," Capcom says. [Image: Capcom]
PSA: Five-game Capcom Essentials bundle now available
Capcom's five-in-one "Essentials" bundle is now available at retailers, such as Amazon and Best Buy. The package includes five games for $60: Resident Evil 6, Super Street Fighter 4, Devil May Cry 4, Dead Rising 2 and a download code for Mega Man 10. First announced in late July, both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the bundle come with a Capcom-branded drawstring bag, which is a good place to stash the achievements and trophies you print out after earning them in each game. We're not the only ones that do that, right?
Capcom Essentials bundle confirmed for PS3 and Xbox 360
Capcom is packaging five PS3 games together in a special collection, and has announced said Capcom Essentials bundle will come to Xbox 360 as well. The bundle includes Resident Evil 6, Super Street Fighter 4, Devil May Cry 4, Dead Rising 2 and Mega Man 10, all for $60. The Capcom Essentials pack also comes in a branded bag, just in case you run out of room in your fanny pack as you leave the store. Capcom Essentials will launch on October 8, and pre-orders are available now at some retailers.
Mega Man 10, Resident Evil 6 star in Capcom Essentials PS3 retail bundle
Capcom has confirmed with Joystiq that it plans to launch a "Capcom Essentials" bundle later this year that collects five of the publisher's PlayStation 3 releases in one retail package. Capcom Essentials includes the retail versions of Devil May Cry 4, Dead Rising 2, Super Street Fighter IV, and Resident Evil 6, along with Mega Man 10, which originally launched as a digital exclusive. EB Games Canada lists the package at $59.99, with a ship date of October 8. A representative from Capcom noted that further details, along with the bundle's cover art, will be available soon.
Dante slashes Devil May Cry 4 iOS price to .99
Ninja Theory's reimagining of Devil May Cry may be the one that ignited controversy, but we think it's even more radical to reimagine it as a game with no buttons. That's exactly what Capcom did with the iOS version of DMC4. If you'd like to see the results of that experiment, you can pick it up through November 8 for 99 cents. The sale coincides with an update that adds a new "Devil Trigger Mode" and playable Dante. In other news, DMC4 Refrain didn't already have a playable Dante.
TUAW's Daily App: Devil May Cry 4 refrain
This is part of Capcom's holiday sale for Valentine's Day (which is probably also intended to target some new Verizon customers), but Devil May Cry 4 refrain is a pretty good port of the console action game anyway. It features a character named Nero fighting with both guns and a big sword through all kinds of demonic baddies, with the standard Devil May Cry action combos building up as you play along. Unfortunately, like most of these games, buttons are merely overlays on the touchscreen, so really dedicated action gamers may not enjoy the lack of tactile controls. But if you like this action genre at all, DMC4 refrain is a pretty solid version, albeit obviously scaled down for Apple's platform. The fact that it's on sale for US$0.99 will probably help seal the deal. Devil May Cry 4 refrain also has Retina Display graphics and full Game Center integration, so it's a full-fledged title to play through. If this doesn't float your boat, don't forget about all of the other sales going on. There are lots of high-end titles out there that you can buy for just a buck right now.
Devil May Cry 4 Refrain sliced, diced for iOS
If Street Fighter IV's misguided iOS port hasn't frustrated you enough, Capcom has revealed an even more quizzical addition to its touch screen library. Devil May Cry 4 Refrain is a bite-sized version of the console game, featuring the same story as the original. You'll assume control of Nero across ten maze-like levels. (Well, if the on-screen HUD is any indication, "control" might be an overly-generous term.) Refrain is scheduled for release later this month, with a sticker price of $6.99. Although the initial release will only offer Nero as a playable character, future updates will add Dante and extra challenge modes. For more impressions (and a video!), visit Slide to Play.

You may download PC/360 Devil May Cry 4 on December 22
Has the pernicious dealing with retail requirement kept you from the ongoing, stylish adventures of Nero and Dante (not that Dante)? Capcom has good news for those of us with no tolerance for relics like stores and boxes: starting December 22, the PC version of Devil May Cry 4 will be available for download on "the digital distribution partner of your choice," including, of course, Capcom's own shop, where pre-orders are being accepted for $29.99. The 360 version will hit Games on Demand, along with Lost Planet Colonies Edition, the same day. Capcom notes that the PC version of the action game features some enhancements not found in the console versions: altered enemy placements, a "Turbo Mode," an extra-difficult "Legendary Dark Knight Mode," among several visual tweaks. And now, it's enhanced with buying it from home mode!
Capcom's triple-pack not coming to Europe
Capcom's Triple Pack of awesomeness will not make it to the shores (nor stores) of Europe. Eurogamer was given the sad news by a Capcom representative, who said, "We're not doing it here." Although he could have been referring to the latest dance craze sweeping the continent, everyone's quite sure he was referring to the zombie-, demon- and bug-fighting bundle. The Platinum Hits Triple Pack releases September 8 in North America and features Dead Rising, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition - Colonies Edition and Devil May Cry 4.
Capcom offers up $40 Platinum Hits Triple Pack for Xbox 360
If your gaming time has been sorely missing some Capcom TLC, then know the company is set to offer up a few of its older titles in one Xbox 360 package. Starting September 8, gamers can snatch up Capcom's Platinum Hits Triple Pack, which is pretty much just that: A package containing Dead Rising; Lost Planet: Extreme Condition - Colonies Edition; and Devil May Cry 4.It's all well and good to try and introduce gamers to some of your almost-classics, but we think Capcom seriously missed a chance to get some Bionic Commandos out there into the world. Yes, we get it's a Platinum Hits bundle, but what could you possibly be doing with all those discs, Capcom? Building a fort in the break room?
MGS4, Ratchet, others $30 as PS3 'Greatest Hits' starting June 16
Old Snake, domestic partners Ratchet & Clank, glam goth Nero and others will be offered up as PS3 "Greatest Hits" for $30 starting June 16. This will be the second round of discounted best-selling software for the console, as the first batch hit at around the same time last year. The latest additions include: Army of Two Battlefield Bad Company Devil May Cry 4 Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction With almost all those titles (maybe) prepping for sequels in the near future, if you haven't checked them out, there's some quality in the offerings.
Devil May Cry hits 10 million shipped
We may not always have loved every one of his games or his hairstyles, but we wanted to take a moment to tip our hat to Dante, whose Devil May Cry series has reached the milestone of 10 million units shipped. For some perspective, 10 million pennies would make a six-foot by six-foot cube, a cube we imagined would be considerably larger and more impressive before we started doing the math.When asked if he was choked up by the news, Dante said, "Devils never cry ... These tears, tears are a gift only humans have." Nero later chimed in unprompted that he was going to Disneyworld.
Capcom: No trophy support for Devil May Cry 4
A poster on Capcom Unity's forums has received an answer to the question of whether Devil May Cry 4 and Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will be getting the trophy treatment and it is no. Capcom feels that DMC4 already has "its own little trophylike system" and the Puzzle Fighter team has moved on to other projects.There is a tiny bit of good news though, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix may have trophies implemented, but it will depend on "what schedules look like and what Sony's requirements are." The only real good news is future games from Capcom will all have trophies, as it has "been worked into CEI's developer contracts as a required deliverable." Have other publishers signed such a contract? This is rather disappointing, but after a string of such reports, we are not surprised. We are just really hoping SSF2T HD Remix will have support.[Thanks, Jake C.!]
Age of Conan's quest for fresh duds
When your character isn't sporting a shawl stitched together from the hides of his enemies, he probably laments that he hasn't a thing to wear to the local tavern. And it's always embarrassing when you show up wearing the same loincloth-and-bracers outfit that someone else does. What's the fashion-forward barbarian to do?Enter French clothing company Inno-Wear, who create duds based on game properties such as Trackmania Nations and Devil May Cry 4. Their latest rights acquisition is, naturally, Age of Conan. It's not known at this time whether that means you'll get to wear the same things your character wears, or simply street gear branded with various AoC logos. We could make a case either way, and both would probably find a home at your nearest Hot Topic.[Via Big Download]
Devil May Cry 4 tears up PCs this Summer, demo on the way
You know the industry's come a long way when consoles are no longer the exclusive domain of androgynous, sword-waving jackasses with glowing demon arms. Capcom has sent us a reminder that the Personal Computer version of Devil May Cry 4, the latest (and commercially successful) entry in its slash-and-shoot saga, is due to arrive "THIS SUMMER." Said version will enhance Nero and Dante's adventure by adding "new modes, enhanced graphics options and some additional content."For those not sold on the joys of launching demons into the air and then shooting them repeatedly, Capcom will offer a demo and performance benchmark before the retail version ships.
