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.
