Devil May Cry HD Collection Reviews
These games are classics, and for the most part they still hold up today.
The smooth frame rate doesn't get in the way of the grandeur of your greatest combos.
It is nice to have these three games to complete the entire DMC anthology on my shiny new console. I enjoyed revisiting all three games as they are definitely memorable parts of my past.
Although the remaster work is closer to none (and theres even some little details from the originals that have been lost), these are two of the best stylish action games of all time (and Devil May Cry 2). If you've never played these games, this is the perfect time to do it: you'll hit the jackpot.

Devil May Cry HD Collection includes a high quality trilogy, but even if the games are very good, this remastering doesn't do them justice. Except for better resolution and action at 60fps, it brings nothing really new. Although technically outdated, its gameplay and story are still fun and entertaining.

Despite lazy efforts of Capcom, Devil May Cry HD Collection definitely will please fans of the cult series from PlayStation 2, thanks to the distinctive style, hardcore gameplay and favorite characters in DMC and DMC3.

____________________ “While there is something to be said for maintaining the original game, calling it a remaster really ought to have some modern comforts.
The Devil May Cry HD Collection on PS4 may essentially be a straight port of the PS3 version that released in 2012, but ultimately, that doesn't detract from the overall experience. The original Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 3 still stand strong, and while the second game is easily the weakest of the three, there's still some enjoyment to be had at the very least. If you've already played through the collection on PS3 then the value of this port is undoubtedly diminished, but for everyone else - newcomers included - this is a fine way to get acquainted with Dante.
I was a bit torn on what to rate this collection. If you're basing it on the games alone and you're a first-time player, then this is easily a 4/5 star title. On the flip side, if you've already played, owned and beaten these games and already have the HD Collection that was released in 2012, then this is a 2/5 because Capcom didn't even bother adding anything worth re-purchasing this title for outside of owning it on current gen for convenience.
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.
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 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 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.

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.
I'm having an absolute blast playing through the Devil May Cry HD Collection
The HD Collection offers nothing new and looks technically dusty. Only suitable for those who want to catch up on Dante's first performances.

Devil May Cry HD Collection is worth getting if you have never played the games before as they all offer frantic and enjoyable gameplay rarely seen in this generation. It will also give you some experience until Devil May Cry 5 gets released in the near future as speculated. That said, this HD Collection seems pretty redundant if you already played it on PS3 and Xbox 360. Not to mention visually the game still looks very outdated by modern day gaming standards…
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.
