An HD remaster of Devil May Cry, first made available in "Devil May Cry HD Collection."
In the first installment of the Devil May Cry series, the player controls Dante as he faces off against the resurrected Demon Emperor, Mundus. The game introduces Dante's abilities, like Devil Trigger which transforms him into a demon, swordplay, gun-slinging, and stylish combos, all of which have become a staple of the series.
It is nice to have these three games to complete the entire DMC anthology on my shiny new console. I enjoyed revisiting all three games as they are definitely memorable parts of my past.
When factoring in on whether or not I can recommend this game to newcomers to the series, I honestly do not think I can; Devil May Cry HD Collection‘s re-release poorly-made compilation fails to show what made the franchise as popular as it is, while old fans of the series will be disappointed to see this game is nothing more than a rehash, and obviously,...
These games are classics, and for the most part they still hold up today.
Another bad porting of a mediocre collection, that definitely doesn't stand the test of time. It's pretty pricey as well, and the only title worth of your money is probably Dante's Awakening. It could – and should – have been better.
Devil May Cry HD Collection includes a high quality trilogy, but even if the games are very good, this remastering doesn't do them justice. Except for better resolution and action at 60fps, it brings nothing really new. Although technically outdated, its gameplay and story are still fun and entertaining.
