One of the games I wanted to get for my new old PS3 was actually an HD Collection of the Devil May Cry games, but literally the day I was looking on Ebay for them I heard news from one of the sites I follow that a PC release was planned. Now that it’s here I’ve taken the time to finally play it… outside of an emulator. :trollface:
I’m making a faithful attempt to play them in the proper order, and so far I’m noticing some bugs compared to playing it in an emulator. In the start of the first level there is an ambient soundloop of the wind off the ocean, and it cuts out for a moment before it restarts which it isn’t too big of a deal, but it kinda (and I hate being one of those people) breaks my immersion. How come the sound is better in PCSX2 than in this port? I don’t see how this could have been overlooked when porting it over. Another small gripe I have is with the screen resolution, because apparently in 2018 some companies still feel that 1080p is the biggest resolution necessary. Fortunately this can be fixed easily by editing a text file.
Of course it doesn’t break the game for me, but like I said it’s pretty annoying. I’m hoping for Capcom to patch these issues or wait for the fan community to work on the fixes and higher resolution textures, as the textures in game are not in HD and upscaled instead.
Other than those gripes DMC1 still remains to be quite fun, and is definitely a better port than their first PC port ever of DMC3 they did, this is at least playable out of the box compared to the early days of Japanese ports. I’m sure with some modding it’ll turn out fine. :melon:
