The story of Devil May Cry is demon-fueled nonsense and bless it for it.
However, everything else about the game was wholly unique when it came out nearly two decades ago. Light puzzle solving is spread across interconnected portions of an ancient castle, rusted keys can be found in one room to open another that’s far away and even the way text pops up when examining objects in the world is an absolute throwback to the classic survival horror franchise. Traces of Resident Evil are all over Devil May Cry, which began its development as an early version of Resident Evil 4. Between swords, pistols, shotguns and more, Dante can expand his arsenal exponentially by the time this roughly eight-hour campaign is done. He’s nimble and able to wall jump and leap across chasms to his heart’s content, but it’s his ability to generate combos that made the first Devil May Cry special. This half-human half-demon P.I./bounty hunter/pizza connoisseur is a wisecracking warrior capable of dual wielding pistols just as well as he swings enchanted swords. And boy, could each game use some improvements.ĭevil May Cry built its reputation on difficult gameplay, stylish combos and a fair measure of cocky edge thanks to protagonist Dante. That’s still here, but literally no other similar gameplay improvements have been made. The original HD Collection had a minor amount of quality of life improvements, like slightly altering the first game’s controller layout to more directly mimic that of Devil May Cry 3, making all three games feel just a bit more cohesive in the process. Even in-engine cut scenes look like a minimal amount of effort was put into making them look remotely better than their PlayStation 2 counterparts. Like the original Devil May Cry HD Collection, menus and most CG cut scenes are still presented in a 4:3 aspect ratio and are exceptionally fuzzy and cheap-looking across all three games.
Besides that, these games are exactly the same as they were six years ago, and six years ago, these games were barely different from their original PlayStation 2 versions in the first place.

The primary changes that this version of the Devil May Cry HD Collection bring to the table are a resolution boost from 720p to 1080p compared to the original HD Collection, a stable frame rate of 60fps, and a few new goodies in the main menu like concept art and the like. The bottom line is, any gamer that bought the original Devil May Cry HD Collection has absolutely no reason to pick this version up – even the most hardcore Devil May Cry fan would be disappointed with this half-baked double dip. This HD Collection has been almost untouched and has once again been lazily ported to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. It was considered to be a lazy set of ports of two good games and one terrible one – Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening Special Edition and Devil May Cry 2, respectively. The Devil May Cry HD Collection originally came out in 2012, shortly before the Ninja Theory reboot DmC: Devil May Cry.
