Access Games has released details about the PC version of D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die, saying that Kinect functionality, including voice control, has been completely removed. All interactions with the game will be mouse controlled instead, and new commands have been added "to do daily life activities like drinking tequila and opening fortune cookies." And who honestly doesn't consider both of those everyday staples?
The PC version of the game will include all content previously released as DLC for the Xbox One edition, and a new section of Amanda's Shop called "Today's Free Outfit" has been added. On the technical side, it will offer a number of PC-specific graphics settings including adjustable resolution, windowed and full-screen modes, selectable V-sync, dynamic shadows, and multiple subtitle languages.
Load times have been shortened, and bugs have been fixed; Xbox One-specific MELD compatibility and leaderboards have been dropped, but on the upside, it will support Steam achievements, trading cards, badges, emoticons, profile backgrounds, and cloud saving. It will also run at 60 fps, if you have the recommended hardware, which is as follows:
