Devil May Cry HD Collection - PlayStation 4 Standard Edition

The Devil May Cry HD collection is perfect for those wanting to get into DMC. You get 2 great games(and 1 mediocre game) for the price of one. The PS4 version differs greatly from the PS3 version having fixed many menu issues, as well as giving you the ability to change games without exiting to the PlayStation menu. The games themselves are where your mileage may vary. Devil May Cry is the game that pioneered the character action genre. Because of this game God of War, Bayonetta, and even the Darksiders series owes it's existence to DMC. For those wanting to see where it all began this is where you start. You play as Dante, a badass demon hunter, that goes to a demonic island to battle the Lord of the underworld. You'll battle mannequins, large magma scorpions, and dark angels. No one said it was going to be easy, Devil May Cry is a very hard game. Not impossible but expect to die multiple times very early on until you get accustomed to the controls. The game is also very archaic in other designs like a Resident Evil style camera, very claustrophobic locations(which addto the atmosphere) and wonky platforming sections. All in all Devil May Cry is a very good place to get started. For everything DMC did right, DMC2 is a massive step backwards. The original development team weren't involved here since Capcom desided to start development as early as possible to release it as soon as possible, so a new team got brought on board and it shows. Designwise and aesthetically, it's dull. Maybe you could blame the PS2 limitations, but DMC didn't suffer too much from it thanks to the fact it went for a gothic style atmosphere. DMC2 just pales in comparison. Gameplay wise it's worse. The combat is gimped giving you only Swords as main melee weapons(just stick to Rebellion, it's better than the alternatives) that all share the same moves and combos. And gun combat has too much focus, making them very overpowered. You can stun lock every single enemy in the game with Ebony and Ivory alone. It's laughable. The story is also lame, the characters are dull, Dante has no personality to speak of, and Lucia is Trish from the first game but lamer. And that's how you can describe this game. It's boring. You're better off skipping it, unless youre a chronology nut and have to play games in order. Otherwise there's nothing here for you. For every failing DMC2 has, it's director, Hideaki Itsuno, returned for the next game, Devil May Cry 3, and improved upon everything that you could improve. If you're buying the HD Collection, the main game you're paying for is this one. There's a reason its still considered the best DMC game to date. Combat has been improved giving Dante multiple fighting styles to choose from that change his gameplay slightly. Multiple weapons to choose. From the trusty Rebellion sword, to the badass ice nunchucks Cerberus, to the electrifying guitar Nevan. There's never a dull weapon and any combination is viable. The story is also a strong point for the game. Being a prequel to the original game, it stars a young Dante facing off against his twin brother Vergil from opening a portal to the demon realm. The story has badass moments as well as more serious and touching moments giving Dante more personality than at first seemed. Levels are plentyful with secrets to discover and challenges to perform. All in all DMC3 is a fantastic game, and one that I implore all action game fans to try out.

4 stars. First game is a little bugging but I think that's due to the original game coming out on the ps1 way back in the day.

Came as it advertise new!!!

I played these games when I was much younger and loved them then on the PS2, but to have them again on a single disc with upgraded in-game graphics is really awesome! Clunky classic mechanics/camera angles aside, the games run smooth and look great on HD TVs. The only downsides are that the cutscenes didn't get an overhaul and there isn't anything extra here for those who bought the PS3 version of this collection. Besides that, these games still play with the same fun combat and nail-biting challenge I remember them having!

My fiance wanted to have the full collection after I got her 5, and she got for herself. She’s really happy with it

If you’re a big fan of the series or a new a fan of devil may cry, this collection is a great start to understand the lore/story properly. The condition of my package was flawless, so thank you to the guy who delivered to me. Dmc 1 is a sloppy but a great start to the series Dmc2 had the best costume design of Dante and a lot of extra content but it’s gameplay was lack luster Dmc3 was the magnum opus of the series, in fact, it saved the series after the lackluster game that was dmc2.

Two amazing games, plus DMC 2. When I think top quality action-games, I immediately turn to the Devil May Cry series. The first one, without a doubt, a unique masterpiece of a game. With a very eerie, yet awesome atmosphere and environment design. While Devil May Cry 3, definitely kicks it up to a whole new level. The soundtrack and story are both incredible. And Devil May Cry 2 is... okay at best.

I love DMC 3. Every now and then, I love playing it again, running through many of the difficulties. This is now on the PS4. This makes it easier than busting out my 360 or PS2 (the previous consoles the older Devil may cry games have been on). If you love the older devil may cry games, and want to play them on your PS4, then here you go, but if you are interested, you probably already have. I suppose the only reasons to read reviews for this version is to see if there are any game changes or hiccups. All I know so far of the differences is something to do with the cheat codes for DMC 2, but most people would not care enough for that game. Either way, the game runs as it should.

アップデートで字幕日本語です^_^ ただPRIMEで注文したほうがいいですよ。 私の場合、届かなかったです

Wonder and great price. Works on both ps4 and ps5 and cool to have the 3 games in 1

Primero aclarando: no es una "remasterización", es solamente una transportación. O sea, no tiene gráficos mejorados, ni misiones extras, ni nada de lo que otros juegos remasterizados incluyen, esta HD Collection en pocas palabras lo que nos permite es jugar los juegos originales del PS2, en el PS4, hecho que me decepcionó un poco porque yo esperaba ver a Dante en sus primeras aventuras con gráficos a la altura del PS4, pero al ver de nuevo la caja, veo que en ningún lado dice "remasterizado", solamente dice HD Collection, así que es lo que es y lo deja bien claro en la caja, no promete algo que no es. La resolución se escaló a 1080p, sin embargo debido a esto los gráficos sufren un poco, en especial las texturas de algunos escenarios que se aprecian un poco feas, y aunque el juego está en 16:9, ciertas pantallas como los menús, están en 4:3 dejando unas barras negras a los costados de la pantalla. En fin, no hay mucho qué decir, es la misma colección que había salido para el PS3, ahora para el PS4. Esta colección tiene juegos muy buenos, que hicieron historia y todos deberían de jugarlos alguna vez, es interesante ver de dónde salió gran parte de la inspiración para juegos como God of War, Bayonetta y otros por el estilo. El factor diversión. Totalmente presente. No se puede negar que estos juegos son excelentes y te van a dar muchas horas de gran diversión, ya sea que los juegues por primera vez, o para recordar los clásicos, este juego es básico para los que disfruten los "Hack n' Slash". Sin duda recomiendo mucho esta colección a pesar de que Capcom nos quedó a deber la remasterización/remake, a ver si para el PS5 nos cumple y se pueda ver a Dante en unos increíbles 4K.

Was the correct game and arrived in good time. Disappointed though that the games case was not the same as what was displayed when ordering the game, which was the reason for buying. Wanted the case that was displayed on the website but was not the case that arrived

This was in great condition when I got it The game is exactly as I remembered from my ps2 days
