Devil May Cry is the pioneer of the action genre and gave birth to a game that kicks its players in the balls over, and over, and over again way before Dark Souls came to be. The first game is still the classic, all action game fans know and love. Despite the flaws it has, especially compared to Devil May Cry, it’s still something to experience and see the evolution of the series. The game drops down significantly in difficulty and becomes a little convoluted, gameplay-wise, due to the addition of Lucia as a playable character. Of course, you’ll get your usual Devil May Cry 2 complaints. What can’t be taken away from this collection, however, is just how great the games actually are. While there may be cool concept art to look at and music from all three games to listen to, but for fans wanting to take a deeper dive into the series, you’ll have to look elsewhere. While one contains the classics you love, the other includes Behind-the-scenes documentaries and interviews. This is where I feel the new port is a missed opportunity it’s more akin to a greatest hits album, rather than a Blu-Ray Special Edtion. Other than the slight visual upgrade, you’re pretty much left with a menu hub to access three Devil May Cry games. Colors also seem more vibrant and pop more compared to the original, which is definitely a plus. Comparing to the original collection, visuals are a lot clearer, with a noticeable bump in resolution. Aside from weird aspect ratios, everything else is sleek and crisp with the HD coat of paint. Present still are the weird 4:3 ratio menus and certain cutscenes. Devil May Cry HD Collection is still the same experience you had back on the PS3 and Xbox 360 with Dante’s edgy comebacks and signature white hair. Nothing has changed with this collection. This review is based on a review code provided by Capcom.
However, while these titles are considered as classics, are they still worth the double dip? Still, these three games are the crown jewels of the action genre. It could be due to the numerous rumors of Capcom preparing to announce Devil May Cry 5, although nothing is official. The reason for porting this collection to current-gen is still a mystery. This is the same collection that was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 nothing more, nothing less besides a slight bump in resolution. It’s time to bust out Ebony and Ivory again and make them feel the wrath of Dante. Three Capcom classics are being ported to current-gen platforms for the second time.
