Is this what you call an HD remake?

User Rating: 4.5 | Devil May Cry HD Collection X360

This review isn't necessarily towards the games, but rather the HD quality that is presented in this package. Its nice to get 3 games for a low price. However with all said and done, it doesn't make up for the most laziest HD remake I've ever seen. DMC 1 looks improved in the cut scenes, and what not. DMC2 looks untouched for the most part. However, while I think DMC3 is amazing, the HD "makeover" looks underwhelming. It practicably looks the same it did almost 7 years ago. While I don't expect much from a old game from a graphical standpoint. The MGS Collection looked beautiful in the remake.

PROS:
>You get 3 games for a low price
>A good amount of time to be invested in the games

CONS:
>DMC2 is in the collection
>Almost no changes presented in anyway
In certain cut scenes of all 3 games, they stayed pre-rendered, or kept the original 4:3 aspect ratio, and didn't bother to remake it in widescreen; (Unlike in the MGS remake) which is disgusting, and lazy of the people responsible for "remaking" them
>The bonus content that it comes with must be the biggest let down, and can be viewed on YouTube, or looked up on Google
>PROBABLY THE STUPIDEST DESIGN CHOICE, is if you wanna play another game, you have to dashboard it, and re-launch the game. While again, in the MGS remake there is an option in the main menu, asking if you wanna be brought back to the game selecting screen, and launches it in seconds.

All around CAPCOM has disappointed me again, and didn't even bother trying to bring life back into these games.
