The inconsistent quality of the update marred what could have been a truly great package. It was disappointing to see how blurry these were, and how badly they contrasted with the rest of the game, especially considering the menus didn’t properly fit a widescreen with the older aspect ratios. Graphically all three were impressive while running around in both exploration and combat, however in other areas the remakes were cheap, to say the least, with menus and the like simply grabbed from the PlayStation 2 originals. A few years back Capcom re-released the first three entries of Devil May Cry in an HD Remaster on the PlayStation 3. This completes the remakes of the original Devil May Cry titles. Now it's back, and Devil May Cry 4 has been given the Special Edition treatment that, alongside a remastering of its graphics, contains some new ways to play.
Devil May Cry 4, when it was first released, was a big deal, as the third in the series was a prequel, so it was the first progression to the story since the second title.
