And, surprise surprise, it’s for a HD anthology, in this case the re-releases of the first three Devil May Cry games.
While we’ve tutted in disappointment at previous collections, this one seems particularly awful, especially when you look at the PS3 version’s giant silver dash (the 360 one isn’t too bad). There’s almost as much empty space on that box as there is Dante.
It looks like a various artists album you’d buy at a servo for $5. Publishers, would it kill you to just use a single, awesome piece of art for the franchise?

So why the surprise?

Saturday, January 7, 2012 at 8:50 AMReally? You thought that was bad? I thought it looks cool.
And the silver dash? That’s on all the collections, they have it to differentiate the PS2 HD collection games from real PS3 games.
I’d say a real candidate would be Resident Evil Revelations.https://content.ebgames.com.au/website/images/packshots/152877_packshot_v3_l.jpg
Seriously, fuck this site, the writers know nothing about games. We’ve been getting these HD collections for so long now & like Aerin said they all are the same.

Saturday, January 7, 2012 at 2:02 PMMaybe it’ll be reversible like the Ico/Sotc collection – that was nice. I’d like to see a lot more of that kind of thing, and not just on HD collections.

Saturday, January 7, 2012 at 6:32 PMUrgh, looking forward to this, but I do hate to be giving Capcom money to fund their shitty new games. Maybe I’ll get it second hand.
