#Devil may cry hd collection for xbox 360 1080p
I’m not one to worry about things like 1080p or refresh rates or whatnot, but when a game is so ugly that I call my wife in from another room to show her how bad it looks, to me that’s a sign that something has gone horribly wrong. Everything is blocky and hideous, and the effect is exactly what you’d expect if you were to hook a PS2 game up to a modern TV. The newest game in the collection came out about a dozen years and two generations ago - and it looks like it every step of the way, since at no point does the game make it obvious what it’s done to deserve the “HD” of its moniker.
You don’t want to dismiss a game just because it looks like the product of another time and place, but, at the same time, it’s really hard to take anything here seriously when it feels like such a relic.ĭevil May Cry HD Collection looks like a relic, too. Nearly every aspect of the game feels like it was conceived in some post-Matrix haze of leather, sunglasses, and chugging, vaguely metal-influenced guitars - which, of course, it was, seeing as the games originally came out between 20. It starts, of course, with the music and the fashion. In fact, I’m going to take that sentiment one step further, and say that I found the rebooted DmC to be far better than anything you’ll find on the HD Collection, since everything here seems incredibly dated. I mean, they seem a little different, I guess, but it anything, I found the more modern Dante to be a much better character, in that he didn’t seem nearly as cringe-worthy. While I don’t see that game’s portrayal of Dante as being hugely far off from the way he was portrayed in earlier games, apparently there’s some distinction between the two that needs to be acknowledged, for whatever reason. To take that latter point further, I should also add that what really got me into the series was DmC: Devil May Cry, the somewhat-reviled 2013 reboot. Second, on a more personal level, I should admit that I don’t have anything in the way of cherished childhood memories for the original games, since they came out during a period in which I’d mostly lost interest in gaming.

First, this is the second generation in a row in which the DMC HD Collection has been released, since it also came out on PS3 and Xbox 360 back in 2012. Apropos of that, here’s the Devil May Cry HD Collection getting released on modern-gen consoles.īefore I go any further, I’ll note two things. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote that, more often than not, remastered versions of beloved games do little other than highlight the massive gulf between cherished memories and the actual quality of the game being remastered.
