Devil May Cry HD Collection Reviews
Devil May Cry HD Collection is one of the most lackadaisical remasters that I've ever played – featuring little improvements on the same collection that released for older consoles back in 2012. That being said, the sheer strength of the games included (Devil May Cry 2 notwithstanding) and the modest asking price still make it a more than viable way to experience these games before an inevitable sequel.
The past which really may make the devil cry.

Devil May Cry HD Collection is a lazy work by the developers: compared to the previous HD remastered it doesn't add anything and it even more accuses the old age of the saga.

In the end, the Devil May Cry HD Collection is a lazy port of a set of lazy ports from six years ago, but it is technically the best way to play two fantastic games – and also Devil May Cry 2.
Coming back to the Devil May Cry series is kind of a bittersweet experience; the games are still relatively competently made and the first and third entries stand out as pinnacles of the Hack-n-Slash genre, but the overt lack of care that has been afforded to this collection makes me reticent to recommend it to all except those who possibly haven't experienced the series yet and are curious to see what all the fuss is about.
This is nothing more than a modern way to play the first three entries in the Devil May Cry series, with little enhancement being done to three games that range from good but simple, to simply a misstep and finally a masterpiece, but this will have to do for now.

A classic trilogy of games featuring the titular hero Dante, which is now available to play with its warts and all on the current generation consoles and PC.
If Capcom wanted to use this re-release as a way to drum-up interest in a new Devil May Cry game then I feel they've gone about it the wrong way, as there's nothing here that's going to expand the series' player base. But, for those who simply want to play the games and rekindle memories of times gone by, the Devil May Cry HD Collection may just suffice.
Devil May Cry HD Collection is recommended for those who have never played before. It's a great resource for watching the progress of the video game world. But there is no innovation for those who played this video game before.

It always feels great to be able to play enhanced versions of good old titles on new consoles; but in Devil May Cry case, there's not enough to get excited about, as visuals are dated and old issues are still there. If you are not a fan of the series, you should probably ignore this one.

Devil May Cry HD Collection brings to the current generation consoles the progenitor of an entire genre and one of the best games ever created. The collection is recommended for PS4 owners who have never played any games of one of Capcom's most important series before.

The Devil May Cry HD could deliver better performance and an acceptable graphics level rather than transferring the same version of previous generation devices to existing platforms with little change except for 1080p resolution and 60 frames, making collection unworthy experience for those who have already played The game before, but the newcomers will undoubtedly face many problems with the collection within graphics or camera or the level of enemies except the third part

Devil May Cry HD Collection despite its graphical and camera controlling issues, is a quite good choice for the fans of hack and slash. However if you have experienced the trilogy before, you wouldn't miss something.

The smooth frame rate doesn't get in the way of the grandeur of your greatest combos.
The Devil May Cry franchise deserves better than another low-effort HD collection. Dante’s Awakening is still a great game that you should play if you haven’t already. However, the second game is terrible and the first game is a little rough due to the awkward camera. The lack of any extra content celebrating this great series is disappointing and makes this collection hard to definitively recommend for new and existing fans alike.
The cheap technical improvements in the newest version of the collection are definitely not worth of such a great series. If you own the PS3 Collection don't bother with an upgrade. For newcomers it's still the best entry into the series because of the 1080p/60fps in the gameplay section.

Previously remastered in 2012, this re-release of the original Devil May Cry trilogy on current generation of consoles is a worthy investment for those that never played the game. But with just a simple port to a higher 1080p and 60fps display, Capcom has unfortunately not added much to appeal to the hardcore fans.
It is unlikely I will end up in the eighth circle covered in my own excrement after this review...
This is very much Devil May Cry 1, 2, and 3, with pretty much all the good and bad that came with the original titles.
For those itching to revisit these classics, then look no further. It’d be best to temper your expectations, however, if you were looking for a meatier collection with in-depth interviews and behind-the-scenes videos. Otherwise, prepare to grit your teeth and scream at your TV screen as you try and slay demons and get them “Stylish” combos. Now that this collection is available on current generation console, you can experience every entry this franchise and prepare yourself when Capcom finally announces the long-awaited Devil May Cry 5.
