Instead of charging a full $60, Capcom opted to sell the collection for $29.99. If you played the collection on Xbox 360, you’ll know what to expect.Įven though I don’t personally see the appeal of having the Devil May Cry HD Collection on Xbox One, the price is right for its value. This isn’t a complete remake, and as such the visuals still look dated. And don’t expect the graphics to have received much of a facelift either way. It’s possible there was a technical issue holding the company back, but it’s disappointing nonetheless. For a game labelled as an “HD Collection” the decision to not enhance everything, especially the cutscenes, is a little odd.
Because of this, you’ll still view them in a 4:3 aspect ratio in standard definition. Though gameplay is 1080p and takes up the entire screen, its cutscenes and menus haven’t been updated. Capcom aimed for a solid 60FPS and hit that mark. A few cutscenes weirdly stuttered at certain points, but during actual gameplay I didn’t have much of a problem with lag or heavy frame-rate drops. You could very easily find yourself moving around while battling an enemy only for the screen to cut to another angle and block your view of said enemy.Īs for how each game performs, they generally maintain a smooth frame-rate with some minor hiccups occurring occasionally. This makes for frustrating exploration and combat. Like early Resident Evil games, the camera is controlled for you and switches to a new perspective automatically depending on where you walk in the environment.
My biggest gripe with the collection’s gameplay are its camera angles, which are frankly atrocious. The controls and your character’s movements are fluid and don’t feel clunky like you might expect from an older game. I will, however, focus on the game’s graphics, performance, overall appeal, and just how well the gameplay experience holds up in 2018.įor a hack and slash series, the gameplay holds up really well. For hardcore DMC fans, this may have been an exciting announcement, but after playing the HD Collection I question the need for its existence on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.Īs with most remasters I review, I won’t delve too deeply into the narrative or the characters throughout each story because nothing’s changed from its original format in that regard. It already released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2012, but Capcom announced back in December that it would make its way to current-gen consoles.
Devil May Cry HD Collection compiles the original two games in the series as well as Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition.
