It looks like Devil May Cry HD’s PC port has some problems

Devil Will Sob its running so fast lol probably the FPSpic.twitter.com/8gQWaWrOks — Yeks (@Yeks___)Jul 06, 2025 Yeah, that isDevil May Cryrunning at 144 FPS, which is roughly 2.5x the original’s framerate. While that may be funny for playing crappy songs on YouTube, it ends up making the game next to impossible to play. While turning on Vsync could potentially solve the issue (an in-game option doesn’t exist), if you have a monitor with a refresh rate above 60 (like my 240 hz display), then you’re out of luck....

It was only when Buzz and Woody started to speak, their voices similar to the characters we know and love, that I came back down to Earth....

Many Mega Man X4 developers didn’t like Zero at first because he made the game ‘too difficult’

The addition of Street Fighter moves saved him You don’t have to read much of my work to know that I’m extremely interested in game preservation. Part of that involves keeping older hard copies of games alive, but another aspect is strictly historical. This 1997 unearthed interview regardingMega Man X4definitely ticks all of the right boxes. Discovered by Shmuplations as part of the Sega Saturn Magazine, the interview speaks to various members of theX4development team — Yoshinori Takenaka (producer), Koji Okohara (planner), Ikki Tazaki (designer) — to get to the heart of what makesX4different from the pack, and why a fully playable Zero (who had only been a side character in the past) was given the green light....

Nearly 3 hours I haven’t finished the video yet, so sorry if at the 2 hour and 12 minute mark it baits and switches to a stupid argument on whether or not certain foodstuffs count as sandwiches, or just a bunch of music videos of lil Frankie Muniz’s awful/bland band.
