Ninja Theory: Devil May Cry Reboot Runs 30 FPS, ‘Will Feel Like 60′

A staple of the Devil May Cry franchise has always been the fast, fluid combat exemplified by running at 60 frames per second. With the upcoming DmC reboot, developer Ninja Theory is forgoing that approach. Instead, they’re aiming for 30 FPS to incorporate “stuff like the world changing,” allowing levels to dramatically change during gameplay. The company says the decision will be a non-issue, as it is making strides to ensure the feel of 60 FPS remains.

While fans of the series have been rather critical of the direction Capcom is taking with this installment, producer Alex Jones told Eurogamer that it’ll “make sense” to fans when going hands-on it.

We were already iffy on this reboot – and if it can’t sell itself without actual playtime, that doesn’t exactly instill us with confidence.

DMC4 was far from running at 60 FPS during most encounters.

Yikes at Gamescom footage. Looks sub-30 at certain points to me. Granted it's an early build, but past Ninja Theory games have had performance issues so I'm not hopeful about this.

Hopefully they bring it to PC. Nearly all past Capcom games have made it over but seeing as this isn't running on their internal MT Framework engine it might not be a lock :/
