However, from a console perspective the new PS4 and Xbox One editions provide a clear and welcome upgrade over the 30fps last-gen outings. The native 1080p visuals deliver a nice boost in sharpness and clarity, while the gameplay feels more fluid and responsive - DmC simply feels more like a Devil May Cry title, and that may make the Definitive Edition worthy of a double dip for fans of the series.
DmC is a decent port across both current-gen consoles, although both versions have some plus and minus points to consider. The tearing on the Xbox One is a little more intrusive than the short dips in frame-rate on the PS4, though both manage to deliver extended segments of solid 60fps gameplay. Image quality is basically identical, but the lack of anisotropic filtering harms the presentation of the PS4 game, leaving blurry artwork displayed on-screen far more frequently than the Xbox One game, which is clearer and cleaner in comparison. With this in mind, we're inclined to give the Xbox One the final nod here: the dips and tearing are intermittent, while the reduced texture clarity on the PS4 is a more frequent annoyance. That said, when assessing both titles overall, both are still solid releases, and the Definitive Edition is well worth picking up if you don't have an Xbox One, or simply prefer the Dual Shock 4 controller.
From a technical perspective the PC game still offers up the best experience overall. A solid 60fps provides low latency gameplay that feels consistent, along with the uninterrupted silky smooth motion provided by a locked frame-rate. For hardcore fans it's simply the best way to play the game. Of course, there are compromises in choosing the PC game: image quality isn't quite as sharp as the PS4 and Xbox One versions, and there's no compendium of DLC content or bonus costumes included in the existing game as standard. Our take? The hardcore should stick with (or consider investing in) the PC version, while others might like to consider the console versions. They're not quite as good as they could - and should - have been, but the boosts provided are a night and day difference over the last-gen versions.
