It looks like DMC upressed, which is probably what it is, save for some minor tweaks.

Devil May Cry HD: New Screenshots

CAPCOM could've pick a better screenshots for DMC2, but this...
Really?????????
Think of the poor dude that had to play DMC2 to get the screenshots man. Give him some slack haha
As expected, it looks like a basic port of the old HD Remaster from these screen shots. It doesn't look like they have made many (if any) adjustments / improvements for current gen consoles.
This bare minimum effort really isn't the way to kick off the triumphant return of DMC this year. DMC HD was a perfectly average HD remaster last-gen, but standards have risen since then and if they're really just putting out the same thing again at 1080p it's really going to stick out. I mean they didn't even bother to re-do the games' menus for HD the first time.
Not really a fan of barebones hd remasters, but I haven't played Devil May Cry since the 4th release, which is what, ten years or so? So I'm excited to play them again. Now I have to ponder if playing DMC2 is worth it just for completion sake, as I only remember the feeling of being astonishingly bored while playing it, and that there were demonic tanks and helicopters in the game. I don't remember anything else so I'm kinda curious to experience that sense of bitter dissapointment all over again.
The quality of that screenshot is quite representative of the game. I approve.CAPCOM could've pick a better screenshots for DMC2, but this...

No. It's perfect. Capcom give no fucks about showing DMC2 at its best because they know it doesn't have a best.CAPCOM could've pick a better screenshots for DMC2, but this...

EDIT: Damn, beaten to the cheap joke :(
This a Capcom game releasing on multiple platforms.
What Sony remaster are you talking about?
Yes, disappointed with that one too.
I guess wanting an Onimusha HD collection is a bad idea.
Okami; however, is amazing!
Games with an "art style" like Okami and Wind Waker would great when upscales. Games which are just models with textures like DMC don't really benefit as much and sometimes can look worse but still glad to play DMC3 again.
Uh, what were people expecting? A Crash or SOTC level overhaul? It's just the PS2 games in 1080p with widescreen support, and Capcom never really promised anything more. The point of this collection is to make these games available on PS4 and PC for the first time (3 is already on PC technically, but it's a terrible port IIrc). Now, these games not being made available through BC on X1 (for the folks that still own their X360 copy of the collection) and this collection not supporting PRO/X is terrible, and these things are very much worthy of criticism.
I just don't agree that this "barebones" release is something that should be lambasted, at least as a PS4 owner who could no longer play these games on my current platform of choice without this collection being a thing (now, if I could play my PS3 copy on PS4, that would be a different story, and I would have no interest in this). I think preservation and wider accessibility for Classic games like this (at least when they are no longer available on current platforms) is always a good thing. $30 is reasonable for 3 games as well, Imo.

I guess at least we get to play DMC1 on PC.
Not sure if DMC3 had touched up textures, otherwise the original PC release was already mostly fixed (and made tons better) thanks to mods. Here's to hoping this new release lends itself better to mods though, like higher res textures. The original release crashed whenever you tried to inject bigger textures.

It's not "barebones" with inverted commas, it's just straight up barebones. Not even bothering with any kind of Pro/1X support? I mean, I can't really think of how they could put less effort into this, short of just leaving it at 720p.
I mean, $30 is reasonable, but this isn't exactly praiseworthy. Why not increase the budget, sell if for $60 and do a decent job of it? I'd happily pay it.
Looks like upscaled DMC alright
I've bought DMC3 like 6 times already across various platforms i'll buy it again for PS4, sure.

Did someone actually look at these screenshots and say "yeah these are the ones that will build up hype"? Seems like they could've picked better ones.
This thread was a missed opportunity. There's even 5 screenshots in the OP. Shame.
Hmmm. These games aren't aging graphically as well as I thought. Outside of maybe DMC3 which still sticks out in places.
Personally, I'm very happy we're getting all these terrible barebones ports from Capcom. It means that I now have the ability to play the entire DMC series, almost the entire RE series, every Street Fighter ever, Okami, almost every Mega Man, and Dragon's Dogma all on my PS4. These games all being available on PC also means they're far more future-proof than ever before as well, due to the nature of the platform.
If Capcom invested in full on remakes, Crash/SOTC style, these games would've taken much more time and money to develop and release, if all of them ever even got that treatment to begin with. The reality is that if they'd taken the approach you suggest, we wouldn't have gotten so many ports from them so quickly (if we got them at all). So, for me, this is praiseworthy. I'd have loved to get something more, sure, but having the ability to play all these Classic Capcom games on my current platform is fantastic, and something I'm personally very happy about.
