Can't have the competition looking better on day one with old ass releases.

VinFTW · Sep 17, 2020

never played this and was genuinely thinking about grabbing it but yeah, timed exclusive graphical features

fuck off

PRrambo_ · Sep 17, 2020

What

What an odd thing to moneyhat

Lewpy · Sep 17, 2020

Of course it will, I'm not sure why Sony isn't getting the backlash usually seen when a company announces a 'console exclusive'.

RoboitoAM · Sep 17, 2020

And seemingly NEVER on PC

Fuck you Capcom

Deleted member 10726 · Sep 17, 2020

Reading through that page it really seems like they're gating graphical features behind timed exclusivity.

foamdino · Sep 17, 2020

Moneyhat, or Microsoft weren't ready with devkits (hence why so little has been shown running on the Series X and has instead been target PC footage)

Good point, why don't we just wait and see?

LordBlodgett · Sep 17, 2020

Did they moneyhat ray tracing? Haha, what?

nelsonroyale · Sep 17, 2020

Sigh...well at least the Virgil DLC is available everyone at the same time. This is basically equivalent to what is happening with Yakuza 7...

Biosnake · Sep 17, 2020

At this point what part of games have we not had timed exclusives for?

ThatNerdGUI · Sep 17, 2020

That's dumb. I got the impression that it was going to be there upon release which is day 1 on Series X.

DeSolos · Sep 17, 2020

Is the PS5 ray tracing tech that different from MS approach? Could just be a moneyhat.

aspiring · Sep 17, 2020

Wait so it isn't a patch on the PS5?

EDIT: oh I just read at the end of that page that it's a whole seperate version. That sucks all around than

DidactBRHU3 · Sep 17, 2020

What kind of moneyhat is this? lol

El_Chino · Sep 17, 2020

I wish I could I'm surprised.

Decarb · Sep 17, 2020

Does it patch current gen version?

The Vergil DLC is actually available "at a later date" on PC, PS4 and XB1

Jawmuncher · Sep 17, 2020

MS and Sony trading Yakuza and Sony marketing I guess lol.

nope says right at the bottom that whilst it's playable it containsnone of the enhancements

The only difference is that XSX is better at it. XSX getting this later and PC not getting it at all is so incredibly mindnumbingly dumb.

gabdeg · Sep 17, 2020

Maybe they just couldn't implement it in time for Series X? I wonder if Series X may hit a higher res with raytracing on. 1080p is low.

Xpider_MX · Sep 17, 2020

1080p???

Samanosuke Akechi · Sep 17, 2020

Kinda weird since the vanilla version was marketed by Xbox was it not? 🤔 So Sony gets marketing for re and dmc now? Wow.

File under "weird things to moneyhat".

Stooge · Sep 17, 2020

Did.... Did.....

They moneyhat raytracing?

What the flying fuck is this.

1440p TVs aren't a thing and it's the console version of the game. Could have used some supersampling tho I guess.

DrDeckard · Sep 17, 2020

that's painful....money hating raytracing....well great...1080p for 60 FPS? There's a 4k 60fps mode without raytracing right?

WordsintheWater · Sep 17, 2020

First Yakuza 7 with MS and now this with Sony, this is trash.

VanWinkle · Sep 17, 2020

WAIT a second. Does this mean the PS5 won't get a patch for existing users, but Xbox players will?

edit: oh wait, they're both getting the special edition, but ray-tracing just won't be on Series X at launch? Weird.

Booo. At least let me upgrade for a small fee to SE, or make it a part of Vergil DLC.

Man what the fuck is happening?

How much worse is today going to get?

Lithium Flower · Sep 17, 2020

This is trash if these features outside of Vergil really don't make it to PC. WTF.

Son of Sparda · Sep 17, 2020

So MS is doing Yakuza 7 next gen time exclusive patch for XSX and Sony is doing RTX time exclusivity with DMC5SE....

Sight, this is gonna be one hell of gen it looks like.

Yeah I at first thought it was an upgrade. I liked the game but not enough to repurchase, however would have paid a small fee or something. Oh well

eh so it is precisely like Yakuza 7. Less a fan of this than conventional exclusives.

Deeke · Sep 17, 2020

Ray tracing demo. Capcom is super enthusiastic about the new tech.

dragonflys545 · Sep 17, 2020

DidactBRHU3 said:

Similar to Yakuza 7

More CUs, more bandwidth, same architecture lineage. It is just faster at rendering things on the GPU - a common sense statement to say for all GPUs in the same family of GPUs. A 2070 is faster than a 2060 at ray tracing as well.

Radium217 · Sep 17, 2020

Is there an upgradecfor people who already have it on PS4?

Andromeda · Sep 17, 2020

It's not something new. MS did moneyhat time exclusive HDR for The Witcher 3 on Xbox.

Well if it helps send a message at all, I left a negative review explaining my stance on Steam and left a note on the steam forums. It won't do much but I sure as hell will warn people who haven't bought it yet.

Go to hell, Capcom.

There must be, right? Cause if the 60fps mode is 1080p, what will the 120fps mode be like?

120fps/1080p no ray tracing

Rice Eater · Sep 17, 2020

OK so I went to Youtube and found one video with a guy testing DMCV on a 8700k and a 2070 Super. He was running the game in 4k Ultra and was getting 70-80 frames on average. So the PS5 and Series X should definitely be able to do 4k/60fps without ray tracing i guess.

I'm guessing they didn't want to over do it with the number of options? Still, it would have been nice to have 4k/60fps as well.
