Developed by Capcom, Devil May Cry is yet again getting the remaster treatment, this time bringing it up to speed with the PlayStation 4. The series, of course, follows the son of Sparda, Dante, as he jumps, shoots, slashes, and sasses his way through hordes of demons and horrible creatures.

Style and powerful combos – it's something that's followed the Devil May Cry franchise since it launched on the PS2 in the early 2000s. Move on to 2018 and what we have here is what we can expect from the world of gaming we live in today – a remaster of a remaster.

Devil May Cry 3 is still loaded with style; You want Dante You got Dante; Defeating a boss is still satisfying

Devil May Cry 2 - kill it with fire; PS2 CG cutscene quality

There are games that, like a pair of acid-washed jeans pulled out of an attic box, act as a window into a certain time. Devil May Cry is very much a window into the year 2001, a snapshot of the post- Matrix pop-cultural moment where the black-clad, industrial noise-rock aesthetic had come as close...

The chance to properly spruce up Dante's first three adventures has been missed here, and instead we get the already miserly remasters that appeared on PS3. At a time where it'd be great to remember why Devil May Cry can be so good, we get minimal effort and Devil May Cry 2.

Devil May Cry has long been one of my favourite franchises, mixing fast paced action with stylish cinematics. The series has been on a sort of break for a while now – with no new game being released since the controversial reboot DmC: Devil May Cry.

Devil May Cry HD Collection is out now and there's been a lot of love for this series, ever since they were released on PS2, 17 years ago, in 2001. They used the ever-popular static environments with animated characters, much like the Onimusha & Resident Evil series of games.
