It's at a bit of a strange age for a re-release, but 2008's
Devil May Cry 4 is making a return this summer as the Devil
May Cry 4: Special Edition. A lot's happened since then, so we can
expect a veritable glut of graphical and gameplay improvements for Vergil's
hack 'n' slash adventure. Three new playable characters are also joining the
party, alongside the return of the PC-exclusive Dark Knight mode.
Of course better visuals means better hardware is needed,
and we've got the officially Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition system
requirements so you can see at a glance whether your gaming rig's hellbound or
heavenwards.

Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition Recommended
System Requirements
- OS: Windows
8 32-bit

GeForce GTX 570 or AMD Radeon HD 7790
These DMC 4 Special Edition minimum requirements are way,
way down at the low end. The processor and graphics card requirements are
comparatively ancient by today's standards, but the stalwart GeForce 8800 GTS
should be enough to see you through. A 32-bit Windows 7 setup will also be
enough to cover you for recommended, with Devil May Cry 4: SE sucking on just
2GB RAM when maxed out.
The recommended requirements for DMC 4: SE are a
comparatively massive step up, but we'd see this as a sign there's plenty of
visual customisation options available to ensure it runs smoothly on a wide
variety of gaming rigs. While the special edition looks slightly nicer than its
2008 predecessor, there's nothing here to prove too much of a worry to beefy
graphics cards like the GTX 570 and the Radeon HD 7790. One caveat is that
60fps is vital in a game like Devil May Cry 4, where lightning fast reactions
and timing are everything, so if you're getting stuttering or dropped frames
then it might be time for an upgrade.
Interestingly Capcom tout 1920 x 1080 as the highest
supported resolution, so users with higher resolution monitors may find
themselves with a poor-quality image. This can usually be rectified with a bit
of config file tweaking, or ran in Windowed if you've got a big enough
screen.
