On the gameplay front, the Devil May Cry HD Collection is full of the award-winning gameplay and style that the series has become known for, now playable on modern consoles. Whereas the series makes a lot of allusions to Dante Alighieri’s Devine Comedy, the story in these games lack much substance and mainly comprise of over-the-top action scenes and elaborate set-pieces that serve as a vehicle to move the character from one stage to another. The games chronicle the many adventures of Dante, a mercenary for hire who has supernatural powers due to his half human / half demon lineage. It contains lots of violence, bombastic action and limitless cheesy one-liners from its charismatic and flamboyant protagonist. However, for those that are new to the franchise, it is important to know that the Devil May Cry series is like an over-the-top 80s action movie.

With plethora of presentation issues like absent blur trails, bad audio looping and music pitch to inconsistent aspect ratio and resolution, as well as lack of 4K support for PC, PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, the package does not contain any significant improvement and fails to provide much incentive to buy this collection if you already own the Devil May Cry HD Collection on PS3 or Xbox 360.

Many CG cutscenes are displayed in 4:3 with original resolution, creating a jarring effect transitioning from 16:9 1080p gameplay and appearing fairly blurry on modern HD/4K screens. While some in game cutscenes are 16:9 with 1080p, some of them are not. The game menus still retain the 4:3 aspect ratio and have not even updated from the past HD collection.

It is merely a current-gen port of a 6-year-old compilation, that features a resolution bump from 720p to 1080p but is host to the same issues from the last HD collection that still remain unresolved. This modern Devil May Cry HD Collection does not contain Devil May Cry 4 nor the DmC reboot, and features the same three games included in the last-gen collection. Let’s start from the most obvious question how is this collection any different than the Devil May Cry HD Collection that released last generation on PS3 and Xbox 360? The simple answer is not by much. Given the fact that most Remasters, much less simple HD Collections are hit or miss due to the questionable effort put by some publishers/developers into their HD treatments, it is not unreasonable to be skeptical of the quality of the ports of the classic games and the collection containing enough to warrant its asking price of $30. The popularity of this combo-based character-action genre birthed such iconic game series like God of War, Bayonetta and the modern Ninja Gaiden games. Unlike classic brawler genres like action platformers and shack & slash games, Devil May Cry focused more on incentivizing players to chain different combos.

With its mixture of gothic ambiance and stylish combo-heavy gameplay mechanics Devil May Cry became a phenomenon that redefined the 3D Hack and Slash genre and created the Character-Action sub-genre. Originally intended to be a sequel in Capcom’s Resident Evil series, the first Devil May Cry became such a radical departure from the series’ style that it was developed into a new property entirely.

With Devil May Cry HD Collection the publisher hopes to reintroduce the current generation to the PS2 trilogy that helped forge a new breed of action games. Rumors are abound that Dante is due for a sequel in the much anticipated Devil May Cry 5 speculated to be announced later this year, so Capcom doesn’t want us to forget the roots of the franchise.
