Released in 2001, this fast-paced and challenging romp through the dark corridors of a demonic mansion would set the tone for what the series was all about. In addition to each game receiving a 1080p resolution bump (an increase from the original's 720p resolution), which includes some slightly sharper textures and characters models, the HD Collection also features a suite of side-content aimed at fans-including an in-game compendium full of concept art, soundtracks for each game, and fan art from the DMC fanbase curated by Capcom US.

While the original games still hold up, the recent HD port unfortunately retains many of the same issues that plagued the previous release.Īs a port of the 2012 HD Collection, the 'new' collection for PS4, PC, and Xbox One is largely left intact. With the re-release of the Devil May Cry HD Collection out now, featuring the original Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition-and the much-maligned Devil May Cry 2-the HD collection should be a solid entry point for anyone looking to check out the series' PlayStation 2 roots. While Capcom's Devil May Cry series has gone a through a number changes over the years, the focus has always been on offering fast-paced combat with a side of self-aware humor and style.
