Generally speaking, though, it’s hard to imagine a more half-arsed remaster. We get the same fan-service content as last time, including concept art, soundtracks and fan art, while Devil May Cry’s controls have been rejigged slightly to feel more like the second and third games.

There’s no 4K options for PS4 Pro or Xbox One, and while Devil May Cry 3 seems to have some small and sporadic enhancements to the texturing and lighting, this may just reflect the advances made between the first and third games on original release.

We get 1080p graphics – with the most basic upscale – at a pretty flawless 60fps, and that’s all. Six years on, the news is even more disappointing. Thirteen years later, it’s still a formidable bit of work.Ĭapcom’s upgrades were minor last time round. In 2005, this was knock-your-socks-off stuff. It offers up fantastic creatures, screen-filling bosses and one of gaming’s greatest settings: a sort of demonic Tower of Babel crammed with fiendish hellspawn and strange, impossible spaces. Released during one of Capcom’s great imperial purple patches, it takes the style of the first game and turns it up to max. Its architecture is more bland and the creature design clumsy – but the third game more than makes up for that. Let’s just say that he’s a product of his time.ĭevil May Cry 2, which has been developed by a different team, isn’t so successful. Dante is still the all-time greatest 14-year-old boy’s idea of a hero: cool, sardonic, your general babe magnet – and clad in the slickest red leather trenchcoat of them all. Devil May Cry – once a glory of the early PS2 lineup – has dated worst with its angular character models and rough lighting, but the brilliance of Capcom’s artists still shines through with the dazzling baroque dark fantasy imagery that defines the series.
They’re showing their age, but that’s to be expected. Let’s not blame the three games concerned. Where Sony and Nintendo are revisiting their old masterpieces with affection, respect and a whole lot of polish, Capcom has dished out yet another cash-cow port, putting in the absolute minimum of effort. I’d like to say that Capcom has pushed the boat out for these new PS4 and Xbox One remasters, but I’d be telling porky pies. The visual upgrades were minimal, bar a hike in resolution to 780p, while the three games came complete with fuzzy 4:3 ratio video sequences, ugly pixelated fonts, and blotchy low-res textures throughout. Six years ago, Capcom delivered Xbox 360 and PS3 remasters of the classic brawler trilogy. Available on Xbox One, PS4 (version tested)ĭevil May Cry deserves better.
