Key points

A graphically updated version of Devil May Cry 4 with better shadows, enhanced lighting and tweaked/overhauled effects. Though this version doesn't allow for as high quality Anti-aliasing as the original version.[1]
Features 3 new playable characters (Vergil, Lady and Trish) along with new costumes and pallet swaps for Dante and Nero as well as the new playable characters (However Trish's Gloria and Lady's DMC3 costumes are only available through DLC).
Uses autosaving, as opposed to save slots in the original Devil May Cry 4.
