The official website for Capcom's Devil May Cry HD Collection has been refreshed with some new screenshots, and it's not looking too great. If you were hoping for a totally redone trilogy especially for PlayStation 4, you may be disappointed in what you see below.
It turns out that this is simply a re-release of 2012's PS3 Devil May Cry collection, with a resolution bump up to 1080p the lone enhancement. A disclaimer at the bottom of the webpage reads, "This collection is a re-release of the 2012 Devil May Cry HD Collection, enhanced for the latest generation of gaming hardware. No changes have been made to game content."
It's not the end of the world, of course, but it's perhaps a little deflating. The trilogy will launch on PS4 13th March. Will you be playing through Dante's original adventures once again? Juggle your thoughts in the comments below.

Kind of obvious, I must say. Capcom is NOT the type of company to put much effort into these sorts of things. Ports make them a ton of money, anyway.
Yeah this is pretty much what I expected.
Was people expecting a Remake?
Ii was the same with Okami HD, so why the suprise?
The truth is Devil May Cry is realy old.
So they havent fixed the aspect ratio on the first game?
it'd be cool if they remade 'em, but that's really far too much to expect
Wait for a sale.
So lemme get this straight? Are these the DmC games that released originally on PS2? I never played the series on PS2 and I never had a PS3 or 360, so I missed out there as well. Capcom sure knows how to milk a franchise it seems. I hope these games can at least run at an absolutely locked 60FPS if Capcom is putting them out for the third time in as many generations.
I love DMC but the early ps2 games did not aged well.
well what was everyone expecting, there have been other remasters of old PS2 games released on PS4 and all of them were simple upscales just look at FFX, FFXII, Kingdom Hearts & Okami for example
@Turismo4GT yes, these are the original 3 that released on PS2. I have read that this current gen release will be 60fps.
The first two games do look incredibly rough by today's standards. 3 looks... Half decent but not great last time I checked.
@jacobia OK, I wonder why then these games weren't just offered on the PS2 on PS4 program. That's been kinda under supported in my opinion. Perhaps because Capcom (and Sony) wouldn't make as much money if they were?
@Turismo4GT I didn’t even think about the PS2 on PS4 program. Yeah, you’re probably right about it being a business decision. Possibly Sony check with the ip holder, and in this case Capcom said ‘no thanks, we’re going to release them ourselves’.
Obviously it's a straight port, that's what Capcom does.
PS3 HD collection looks better
@FullbringIchigo That's not a fair comparison. The HD remasters of FFX and Kingdom Hearts all had reworked models, graphical effects and almost entirely redone soundtracks. Graphically the handheld Kingdom Hearts titles look especially improved.
@eltomo Depends did they fix the screenratio.
@FullbringIchigo To be true the Final Fantasy where a lot more then a simple upgrade.
Sticking to the PS3 collection.
@Flaming_Kaiser @DarkLadyLuna hey i'm not saying Square didn't put more effort in than what Capcom has because they did but they are still just ports of the PS2 games same as the DMC collection so you can't and shouldn't expect a Shadow of the Colossus situation here
was to be expected considering capcom did the same thing for okami. and dragon's dogma. and resident evil 4. and re 5. and re 6. and re revelations. am i missing one?
Eh, I'll still be purchasing it, since my PS3 was stolen with everything for it (including the 2TB internal hard drive on it). Now, when can Devil May Cry 4 HD be released retail?
I guess I'm still waiting for an Oddworld, twisted metal, hot shots golf (with tennis), ATV Offroad fury and some more collections to come too. Would be nice and would also be nice to get more PS2 games on the Playstation store too. Guess with all the retro games making a comeback, I can see some of this happening, but not holding my breath...maybe on the PS5 in the future.
Cool I never played these games. Viewtiful Joe next please.
@Fooligan Viewtiful Joe would be good. Totally passed me by, so I'd be interested in a re-release for sure
I will still buy it because i never played the trilogy, but I agree that it doesn't look so good.
if its 9.99 will buy
It's more or less what I expected. If it's the same collection, then I'd get it on PS3, where it's cheaper.
I'll just stay with my PS3 collection.
Good for everyone that owns a PS4 and never played the originals on PS2 or the PS3 version.
Could use a little more polish but meh I'll buy that for a dollar.
more like not HD amirite
Meh, this will be a 50% + flash Sale purchase for me, depending on the launch price.
