![]() It’s been theorized that Mario is a good game because the jump “feels” right, the amount of time you spend in the air and the acceleration up and down being aesthetically pleasing. I don’t know what it is that feels so good about shooting at an enemy that you popped into the air with your sword, keeping them bouncing on your bullets. All that said, I can’t think of a game that was primally satisfying to perform combat in the style meter rising ever higher as you caused more and more carnage. I can’t tell you how much trouble I have with boss fights when I can’t move the camera to look at what I want to look at. Devil May Cry was born from the ashes of a Resident Evil project, which also do not have manual camera control. ![]() Notwithstanding is the fact that I don’t have manual camera control. It’s all inconsequential, and Dante will often remark “Whatever” after examining them. I also find it funny that there is still a callback to Resident Evil Dante can examine odds and ends by pressing Action near them. Dante will still turn, but he wouldn’t do it at the quick or magnetic pace that I am used to. I am reminded of Ninja Gaiden and God of War, where in mid combo, the character will turn to face the nearest enemy, but I had forgotten that Devil May Cry wasn’t like this. When you do this combo, your character will remain facing the same direction the entire time. In Devil May Cry , you can press the sword button three times to do a combo. Though they are presented in widescreen and in high definition with anti-aliasing, with some new, higher resolution textures, the gameplay in Devil May Cry HD Collection is exactly the same, for better or for worse. The games themselves are known quantities and have essentially not changed. This opening movie was actually not remastered for the HD collection I am about to review, which is kind of telling as to the amount of effort put into this repackaging. It's hard to get too excited about this collection as a fan, then, but it is nice to add three more old favourites to my needlessly overpopulated Steam library-even if they could've been treated with a lot more reverence by Capcom.Devil May Cry’s latest franchise entry is DmC Devil May Cry, a retelling of the origin story of Dante, when Dante never really had an origin story, save for perhaps the opening movie of the first Devil May Cry. I couldn't click with DMC4's new protagonist and his combat style in the same way I did with Dante. For anyone who wants to pick up a contemporary Devil May Cry game, try the vibrant DmC from Ninja Theory if you haven't already. Compared to Okami, a game of a similar era, this darker art style hasn't aged nearly as well. You'll never be in any doubt that you're playing some old PS2 games, though, with the trilogy's muddy textures and ancient character models. It's still really enjoyable, and you also have the option of playing as Dante's brother, Vergil. Capcom's team responded to criticism of the second game by leaning further into the first entry's cheeky tone, with cheerily daft cutscenes and a weapon that doubles as an electric guitar. Bayonetta has surpassed it with its selection of combos, super-refined combat and imaginative weapons, but DMC3 is still terrific fun-and by far the highlight of this collection. The opening cutscene of DMC3, where Dante kills demons while eating pizza, remains a firm favourite.
