Still, the action is faster than ever, and the progression from Devil May Cry to Dante’s Awakening is highlighted by the moves and skill sets that Dante and Vergil have in pulling off devastating sword and gunplay combos for higher scores and rankings. The Devil May Cry franchise also implements a fixed camera, which was made popular in the Resident Evil series. It was frustrating at first to go back to such an archaic game design, but muscle memory quickly took over, and I stopped noticing that I had no control of the camera and just pushed forward, slashing and shooting demons until my hands hurt — and they did. My old thumbs could barely keep up with the gameplay (I guess this is growing up). All three games also feature trophy and achievement support, and if you played the previous versions on last gen consoles, you can earn many of the same trophies again, if that’s your thing.
Devil May Cry HD Collection is, at the very least, a nice reminder of what games were like nearly 20 years ago, and where they have come now. Capcom created a wonderfully dark and twisted adventure that has spanned 5+ games, and this series has a huge and rabid fanbase. And deservedly so. As a long time fan of the series, I would have liked to see a full remaster of the games, and I know I’m not alone. Devil May Cry has now become as legendary as its protagonist is gaming circles, and fans wait each year for word that Capcom will be bringing it back — not as a port of an older game or collection — but something brand new and thrilling. Devil May Cry HD Collection for PS4 and Xbox One could be the test to see if there is enough interest to revisit the series in the future. If so, I hope it passes.
Das hat ja nichtmal einen Jump-Button.
