Devil May Cry HD Collection (PS4)

The HD collection comprises of Dmc1, 2 and 3 all HD remastered to play on the previous and modern gen consoles all to a clearer picture of graphics then first released. What you didn't know is that Dmc1 was originally resi 4 but they deviated from the original concept and the original resi 4 was turned into a new franchise that we now know as DMC.It was a good call because Dmc is one of the critically acclaimed series of capcom games, it's got some similar gameplay to resi where you solve puzzles but rather then a slow paced horror game it's a fast paced shooter as you can utilise dantes sword and guns all at the same time and move him acrobaticly away from enemy attacks, dealing with demons of another realm. This collection includes all 3 of those classic games and they all have various changes as they progress through the story like Dmc 2 you can choose Dante or a woman guardian of a village and you can run up walls and various skills added.It's a great collection for a excellent price. Well worth the time.

As an avid Devil May Cry fan, I was so happy when Capcom decided to release the first three Devil May Cry games on the PS3 some time back. What I didn't expect was that they would re-release the three games onto the PS4 console. And I'm glad they did, because it didn't take me long to pre-order this. There really is no need to delve too much into the games, because as most may know these first three games were originally on the PS2. Here's a short summary of each game:Devil May Cry - The first and still the best Devil May Cry game in my opinion. I absolutely love this game, it was the game that influenced me to buy the PS2 back in the day.Devil May Cry 2 - This tends to be the most disappointing of all DMC games, but in all honesty its not really that bad and in my opinion, I would rather play this game than the recent PS4 DMC game (you know, the one where Dante looks like a punk).Devil May Cry 3 - A return to form, if you love the first game, you will absolutely adore this third game. Action packed all the way and it gives you the special edition, so you can play as Dante's brother Virgil.For me, this is the perfect nostalgia trilogy and one which I will play continuously for a long while before I even begin to play another game.

Strange series. The first title is challenging, rewarding, atmospheric and well structured. Story is minimal but passable. It's a fairly unique game, one that I highly recommend to anyone. I genuinely regret not having experience this sooner. One of me new favourites that I'll likely playthrough every now and then until I die.The second game is blander, shorter, tells almost a copy and paste version of DMCs story and is really really easy. I completed Dantes campaign in 3 hours 16 minutes. Some of that time I was away from my system. There is a second campaign with a different character, but I've read it's even shorter than Dantes. Also, you can no longer examine things, making the world seem dead, and Dante can no longer grab ledges - a basic mechanic present only in one game, the original! Slightly updated gameplay though, better dodge, double jump from the get go and wall running. Despite how easy it felt and how non existent the ambiance was, the smoother gameplay was enjoyable if not anything spectacular.DMC 3 Ive yet to finish. I'm 6 missions in and I'm bored and fed up. Dante behaves like a bellend and all the cutscenes are ridiculously over the top. There's no atmosphere, nearly all the enemies so far are practically identical. The gameplay feels like a regression to me. Instead of blending mechanics they created a style system, so you can only access certain functions. The nicely updated dodge mechanic is locked behind the 'trickster' style, as well as the wall run. New moves are tied to different styles. Double jump must be purchased again. Dantes sword combos are different to both previous games which I found annoying. So far it's not as easy as DMC 2 but only marginally. I was glad to see the multi stab attack return, but Dante says something stupid and annoying every time, same with the upward strike. The shirtless look is ridiculous. DMC doesn't seem to have any of the upgrades of DMC 2 or the atmosphere, challenge, and explorative pace of DMC. Maybe I'll try again in time but for now, I'm replaying Devil May Cry.Still, I'm rating 4 stars almost purely because of the strength of the original game. It was worth buying this collection for that alone.

I played the original games on PS2 when I was younger, so I absolutely had to buy the HD Collection. It was a great excuse to play them all again and they look fantastic. I was especially excited to play DMC3 again.

Ordered what I thought was (as advertised) a new copy. Was sent some reprinted nonsense with no game disc inside. Really poor.

I love this game and capcom games in general. 100% recommend have enjoyed it so much so far!!

Although 2/3 of the games included are great games, this ‘HD collection’ on PS4 is very lazy. It is visually virtually identical to the PS3 ‘HD Collection’. The packaging also shows how little the publishers cared, not even including a manual.
