Devil May Cry HD Collection is a game in the Devil May Cry series and includes remastered versions of Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 2, and Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition.
A controller is recommended as keyboard support is bare bones, and there is no mouse support in-game.
Devil May Cry 1 is missing some video effects (like motion blur, depth of field) and has audio bugs.[2]
Devil May Cry 3 has various effects weakened (such as motion blur, ghosting, and depth of field) and textures lack transparency.[3][4] See shu_bham and cheburat0r's fixes and DMCHD Collection Helix Mod for restoring most textures. There are no mods for restoring Greed's bloom on the top portion of the coffin, Nevan's cutscene eye flashing, or the sign's flickering at the end for example.

- DMC 2 and DMC 3 SE do not appear to have this problem.

Issues fixed
