Devil May Cry: New ‘DmC’ Trailers, ‘HD Collection’ Dated

DmC Devil May Cry Trailers

The original stylish hard action series is coming back strong for 2012. Fans have both the brand new DmC Devil May Cry and the Devil May Cry HD Collection to look forward to.

Today, we’ve got two new trailers for the Ninja Theory-developed DmC Devil May Cry, along with the release date for the Devil May Cry HD Collection.

When images of Ninja Theory’s redesigned Dante first hit the web, the uproar was deafening. Even Devil May Cry creator Hideki Kamiya admitted that he didn’t really care for the new design. But of course, character design is just one aspect of the game, and once trailers began to emerge showing off just how fast and fluid DmC’s combat is, fans began to come around.

Capcom is offering players two new trailers for the game, the first focused on Dante’s escape from a world that is literally closing in on him. Take a moment to admire the detail in the environments, and the imposing architecture — before it all gets blown away. (Bonus question for Ninja Theory fans – does this trailer remind you at all of the plane crash sequence from Enslaved?)

The second DmC Devil May Cry trailer shows a “secret area” where Dante will be transported when he finds “secret portals hidden throughout the game.” Players who think that the “secret area” will be some sort of sanctuary for Dante should probably reconsider.

While Ninja Theory looks to the future of Devil May Cry, players who want to go back to where it all started will soon have the chance to do so. The Devil May Cry HD Collection packs all three of Dante’s classic PS2 outings — Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 2, and (the outrageously difficult) Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening Special Edition — together, will updated textures and widescreen support. The package also includes new, as-yet-unspecified bonus content, plus achievements and trophies — all for just $39.99. Players can pick it up April 3, 2012.

Ranters, now that you’ve seen more of DmC in action, what do you think of the game? Which of the original Devil May Cry games are you most excited to revisit in the HD Collection?

  1. Damn still no release date! I am definitely getting this, my mind was made up a long time ago. Im guessing itll be after the HD collection. Also I never seen the big issue with how Dante looks but oh well.

  2. Imagine Devil May Cry NEVER existed. And that this was the first we have ever heard of a Devil May Cry title, a new ground breaking stylish hack and slash genre. This is what Ninja Theory is doing. Making a DMC title in a new atmosphere. Like saying “This is what Devil May Cry is and what we have all seen”, and then “This is what Devil May Cry would be like if it was like this.”. I personally like this idea, it’s darker more twisted and I, personaly, like this kind of setting, I could care less how Dante looks. It’s like the original live action Alice in Wonderland movie, and then Tim Burton’s version of Alice returns to Wonderland. I believe this will be a stunning game and I will be glad to purchase it once it is available. New ideas are what makes games what they are today, ever growing, and constantly getting better. Let your pride go and enjoy something for once :D

  4. It looks nice but the combat still is lacking some of what made DMC3 and DMC4 so great. And there hasn’t been much new added to warrant this reboot. The chain thing is just like Nero’s arm, some of the moves are from the old ones (like Drive),etc. Scripted sequences are nice but all they do is help with the presentation. NT is great with presenation we know that, but in DMC is one of those series that rides alot on its gameplay (3 had a solid plot)

  5. personaly my only problem is dante doesn’t look as cool but besides that it looks like a pretty solid game
