![]() ![]() However, as it is technically “new” based on the fact that it has received an HD upgrade, there is one thing you might not already know, or at least expect based on the “HD” in the title: the Devil May Cry HD collection looks like ass. So since the odds are most of you out there reading this review are fans of the series, I’m not going to tell you a bunch of stuff you already know. Oh sure, there may be the odd Bayonetta fan in there who is interested in playing her direct ancestor, but it’s more likely that those people will pick up the current-gen Devil May Cry 4 or simply wait for the gritty reboot of the first one. I’m not going to spend a lot of time breaking down the story or the gameplay since the “people who have never played a Devil May Cry game before” segment of the population is probably going to account for a minority of Devil May Cry HD collection players. The rest of us will ask ourselves, “What’s the big deal?” Alternately, we may just sit and shake our heads, and thank Sparda that it’s not 2001 and we’re not stuck playing the dinosaur that was the PS2. Good gameplay doesn’t always equal a good time when it’s mixed with pure, uncut 10-year-old Japanese videogame insanity - and the Devil May Cry HD collection contains so much of that kind of insanity that only the most diehard fans are going to truly enjoy it. Oh sure, there’s lots of good gameplay wrapped up in a relatively nice package, but for me, good gameplay doesn’t always equal a good time.
