However, that combat is what transformed Devil May Cry from Resident Evil 4 into the father or modern action games.ĭevil May Cry laid the groundwork for combat in action games to come. If it weren’t for Dante’s sarcastic personality and combat prowess, it could very well pass as survival horror. The game takes place in a gothic, twisted castle and the demons are pretty creepy. It’s very clearly born out of Resident Evil’s DNA. Camera angles are locked in place depending on what part of the area you’re standing in, combos rarely spend much time in the sky, and there’s a significant portion of the game in which you’re exploring instead of fighting. If you’ve been playing recent action games, the first Devil May Cry might seem a bit quaint by comparison. However, if you’ve never played Devil May Cry before, read on and educate yourself about two brilliant action games.
If you know your Devil May Cry, you probably already own this by now. All three games have been remastered beautifully into HD (with the slight exception of menu screens and some cutscenes that were left in the original resolution for some reason), and they run at 60FPS on both consoles. If you’re worried that Devil May Cry HD Collection might have turned out like the Silent Hill HD Collection, don’t be.
