Good times, good price. This is supposed to hit for the 360 as well right?

I'm a sucker for these HD collections. I'm all over this. But they could just send me the version without part 2....I wouldn't mind that

Think of it as a DMC-themed coaster.

Devil May Cry HD Collection Announced
The much-awaited, much-rumored trilogy is real.

HD Collections are becoming all the rage this generation, and Capcom has apparently been listening to fans clamoring for some old-school Devil May Cry action. Today, the publisher announced the Devil May Cry HD Collection, which will come to both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The Devil May Cry HD Collection will include the original Devil May Cry, as well as Devil May Cry 2 and Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening. It's due out in early 2012, will cost $39.99, and come included with Trophies on PS3 and Achievements on Xbox 360.

I don't get it, it's been years since I've played the first 3 - but why the hate for DMC2? I remember 3 being insanely harder than the first 2. Maybe it's time for a revisit in HD.

RocShemp

Because DMC2 was a half-assed unfinished game that was lazily converted into a DMC sequel in order to capitalize on the success of the first game.

They don't put them all on one disc? I would think they could fit them on a BD. But I guess if they split them up it feels like more for your money.

I've never played a DMC game. I never had a PS2, and didn't get into it on PS3. So this would be a good way to catch up.

I believe it's all on one disc.

Solid Snake

Loved 1, hated 2, REALLY loved 3's gameplay and style.

starseed1981

Is that true? If so, that would make alot of sense....

KingSmoth

1 and 3 were absolutely fantastic. 2 was horrible - I waited months for release, was off work release day, was excited about the new weapons and such, but four hours later the game was already over. No challenge, no story, nothing. I haven't played it since it came out January 2003 and I don't know if I'll play it when I pick up the HD collection...

RocShemp

Yeah, that's sadly very true. Although, in all fairness, the same is true of the original DMC. It orignally started as a test for a new RE game, then transitioned to it's own thing (which was subsequently scrapped), and then rebuilt into DMC.

There's the thread on that POS called DMC2:

Thankfully, the GODs answered my prayers and gave us DMC3/DMC4.


Also, what happened to that DMC prequel game that was being developed by another studio? Did it get trashed?

RocShemp

DMC3 was great but DMC4 was crap. Well, half crap. And sadly the crappy half was the Dante half. The Nero missions were pretty fun (except for the final boss).

The remake/prequel/whatever from Ninja Theory is still coming. This remaster release is basically to renew interest in the brand to prime people for that release.

Solid Snake

Just got this. So I've only messed with DMC1 but is it brighter than before? The color settings have it at a much higher scale of brightness. Like the white font at the color settings is bright as hell. I keep my TV at the standard setting for its colors and it has worked for everything else but DMC1 got my attention quick.

I am glad i held off on the PS3 pack. Question is if these are all being remastered? I doubt it. But for $30 i will pick them up. Played through all 3 and enjoyed them, so glad to revisit in the future.

starseed1981

Silly to release this again. Just give me a remaster of DMC 4 and eliminate all the back tracking.

james2025a

Yeah i would love to see a complete collection with all 5 games.

DVDTalker76

This is all Capcom does.

We won't see any more complete of a collection since they have already released 4 and DmC on the current gen as standalones.

fujishig

I'd actually consider (re-re)buying it on the Switch.

Did DmC not do well or something? Are they not making a sequel?

DVDTalker76

Pretty sure DmC was similar to the Tomb Raider reboot.. sold millions, but that "wasn't enough", and there was much corporate whining. No sequel on the horizon.

There was also backlash from the fanbase regarding emo Dante. Not sure if that had any bearing on Capcom's decision-making.
