They kept coming back for the combo-driven, slasher gameplay and the gun juggling. His cocky one-liners and his ability to just brush off taking a sword to the chest in almost every cut-scene, was always a laugh.īut gamers didn’t tend to come to DMC for the story or character development. The long-term protagonist, Dante, is still fun to be around. The games stories and dialogue are products of their time, and are all a bit silly, but that’s fine. It’s essentially the gaming equivalent of beer goggles. Like an application of Vaseline has been applied to make them look a bit less polygonal. Many of the cut-scenes seemed to have been smoothed or just made, well, a bit blurry. But on my 60inch Smart TV, it looks silly and gives the impression of the bare minimum being invested into getting these titles up to spec for a new audience. DMC 3 being the younger of the others, does fair the best in approach-ability and is still absolutely a joy to play through for a fan.Īll the titles gameplay and cut-scenes are now in 16:9, however all the menus screens are in the original 4:3, which is fine from a nostalgic perspective perhaps. This HD collection has seen little love to make it feel at home on the relative powerhouse that is the PS4.Īside from the improved resolution and smoothing out of the graphics, these are essentially the same games that dropped in the 2000s. As much as it pains me to say, as I was a DMC fan back in the PS2 days, especially of number 3. Now that we are clear on the nuts and bolts of these games and this packages history….how does it fair in 2018. The only difference being that, the three games have since been up-rezzed from 720p to 1080p for the PS4. This ‘HD’ Bundle is, in fact, a re-release of the original HD-ified collection that was sold for the PS3 and Xbox 360 back in 2012. DMC 1 hit the PS2 in 2001, DMC2 in 2003 and DMC3 arrived in 2005, so these games are up to 17 years old now. But dear reader, there is a right way and a wrong way of going about it.ĭevil May Cry (DMC) HD Collection contains DMC 1,2 & 3, making it easy to hack and slash your way through some of the true gaming trendsetters of the adventure/ slasher genre. So, it’s no surprise that titles from this generation are dragged out of Publishers archives, given a new lick of paint, and dropped onto the current generation of consoles for an all-new audience to buy and enjoy. Get it.The Playstation 2 was home to some of the most important video games in gaming history. It's pretty good and feels really good to play, even for today's standards, and was the franchise's true kickstarter, and I'm not going to talk much about it. Nonetheless, both games are decent enough to be worthy of one playthrough. It also has Dante's strongest form, Majin DT, and had a real flight mechanic, but the controls were awkward as fuck. Some moves that later became part of styles (rainstorm, fireworks, trickster as a whole) were originally in DMC2 but executed horribly. 2 had some very, VERY good ideas, but they were all executed pretty horribly, although that game does have some very solid moments that I think go underappreciated, like the last bossfight. ![]() They both feel equally bad to be honest, especially once you get used to 3 or namely 4, but 1 does have a pretty sick atmosphere and a REALLY good soundtrack. ![]() 1 and 2 are irrelevant nowadays when it comes to gameplay and their writing is really subpar.
