Devil May Cry HD Collection

Devil May Cry HD Collection Hunting Demons in Early 2012

After muchos speculation over the past few months regarding a return for Dante's first three outings in high-definition, Capcom has today put an end to the rumours with an official announcement of Devil May Cry HD Collection, which will collect Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 2 and Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening Special Edition in one tasty box.

Taking gamers back to where the stylish, OTT action series began, you'll get the opportunity to play as the classic, wise-ass white-haired Dante before Ninja Theory reboot the franchise with DmC next year. Here's the key features you can expect from the Devil May Cry HD Collection:

  • Iconic demon action hero returns – Play as Dante, one of the most iconic video game characters of the last decade
  • Upgraded visuals – Experience the stylish gothic action that the series is best known for in stunning HD, with updated textures and widescreen support? 
  • Bonus content – Devil May Cry HD Collection offers players a wealth of new content for fans and newcomers alike? 
  • Earn trophies and achievements –  Accomplish new goals and have reasons to relive the action from the Devil May Cry series

All three games are completely remastered, and Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening Special Edition offers the definitive version with enhancements, the ability to play as Dante's twin brother Vergil, as well as Bloody Palace and Turbo Mode. Oh, and it's hard as nails too.

Check out some HD and SD comparison shots from Devil May Cry 1, 2 and 3 below (there's 15 in the gallery), then look forward to more demon-slaying, sword spinning, shooty action care of Dante, when Devil May Cry HD Collection launches in early 2012.

You can really tell the difference between the two versions. There are some of the HD collections that don't really look that much better than the original.

Sweet!! Sadly the DMC series is one that sort of passed me by back when they were released. I played DMC 1 and 2 but never beat any of them so definitely count me in for this HD collection!!! And Kudos to Capcom for actually releasing the complete original trilogy and not just parts 2 & 3 like Konami are doing with their MGS and Silent Hill HD collections. This will definitely be a day one purchase!

excited for this, but i have a feeling all these HD remakes are just excuses for companies to make more money and very soon every game is going to have the HD treatment. dont get me wrong, its a good thing but the price they are charging , 1600 ms points is a joke for a game/games that are donkey years old

Awesome news for me considering the fact that 2 is the only one that I've never played, now I get to play through 1-3 from start to finish in better graphics, I'm excited I just hope its not that crap re4 did with just tiny texture enhancements for gameplay and left cutscenes the same...

This is good news. I got all three DMC games which I got in the Anniversary Collection for the PS2 but never actually played them. Maybe I will pick up this HD Collection when it comes out.

At least they are releasing all three games unlike the Silent Hill Collection. I want Silent Hill 4 in HD!!!

I hold DMC 3 in such high regard that I dnt know if I'm more excited or just plain nervous that it won't hold up. Hopefully won't be too many achievements attached to number 2. I'm happy to play through it again but don't wantbto spend any more time than that with it really. 1 and 3 will get a lot ofmlove from me though. Great news

Never played any of the DMC games before, just didn't have the time. I think now would be a good time to jump into them. Good to see the HD remakes coming early next year.

@ 12 They're not releasing Sh4 because it didn't follow the story line. Sh1 didn't make it because it was way too old to try and update it to HD graphics. So they just redone Sh2 & SH3. for 40$

OT: HD screens look really fucking kickass! Can't wait.

I'd pop on that.
The pricing of HD remakes or releases of classic titles is a good debate. I'd like to see a story on the subject. (ahem)
What is a fair price for a 15-20 year old game?
How much would you pay for Battletoads HD?
I'm in at 1200.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSs

Wanted it since so long BUT PLZ add easy difficulty for first 2 games as they were quite hard back in the day. I can endure the pain DMC 3 as it's not broken as DMC 2 and if possible plz remove the horrible glitches of DMC 2

I CAN SEE MANY PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN A LOT AGAINST THE NEW DMC, I AGREE IT LOOKS NOT THAT GOOD SO FAR AND DANTE IS DIFFERENT AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY


BUT

have you people played any other game from Ninja Theory; Enslaved and Heavenly Sword both were awesome classics, so I won't have low expectations from the studio especially because they are famous for making good setting and plot and truly dmc has killer gameplay since start but weak plot, so NINJA THEORY CAN NAIL IT IN A GOOD WAY


And don't thumbs down unless you know something about Ninja Theory

I am definitely getting this instead of the other supposed DMC. Especially seeing as I never got to play the first 3 games anyway so it'll be nice to finally play them.
