Been playing this weekend and I'm really liking the changes. Since I played through once on PS3 over a year ago, it feels fresh at 60fps and with all the DLC including that sweet DMC1 Dante costume.
Really looking forward to going through Vergil's story and spending hours on bloody palace. Honestly, the fact that this is 60fps is probably the biggest addition for me. I honestly feel it improves the combat significantly. While I still don't think it reaches the heights of DMC3 and 4's combat mechanics, it's brilliant and fun in its own right. Brings the game up from at 8 to a 9 for me.

Fixing the incredibly bad design choices that people warned them about for almost 2 years and having to pay 40$ dollars 2 years after release?
Some people will think it's not that great a bargain
Compared to some of the "remasters" like the Tomb Raider one that cost $60, this is a much, much better deal.
The fuck... someone is already on DMD mode...
Definitely not playing on Hardcore mode though.

Can't wait to dive into this again. One of the best PS3 games and my favourite DMC tied with DMC1.

I've been wary of DmC due to the 30fps and character designs, but all these changes and add-ons sound so good.
Will definitely pick this up

Yeah will probably cop when its $20.
This play isn't that good actually. He's not even playing on Hardcore mode yet struggling to get good S ranks up. I know it's DMD mode but this is regular DMD mode which wasn't that hard to begin with.
Still it's the best we have thus far.
Gregaman accidentally showed part of it. It seems to be a cutscene during the planning phase right around Mission 16.
He said there is something different at the end too. Overall nothing to get too excited over.

Nice OT ezekial. So you went with that title huh 
Unfortunately I won't be able to get the game this month but I'll definitely check it out down the line.

He never claimed that but you don't need to be a game designer to realize that they made some mistakes with the game initially which they even admitted to and are now fixing it. All of the changes that you see in this edition are based on fan feedback, a lot of them came from this very forum as well.

I'm really on the fence with this one. Bloodborne is so close and I still want to try the order.

DmC is whaaaaaaay better than the Order for what it's worth.
DmC is way better than the Order.

Now with 100% less hat....m'lady
Little known fact about this remaster.
They completely removed Vergils fruity little hat from the game.
THANK GOD!!

Instead of a close up of Dante to end the game, it's Kat and Dante walking away, and Dante grabbing Kat's behind.

Come on...
the insane content and replayability + actual good gameplay, proper bloody palaces and vergil dante skins... the 1080p 60fps goodness.. turbo and hardcore modes.
Just 40 bucks with the vergil story included.
If anybody skipped this because of Donte, without spoiler, just know that Donte s journey is pretty much going from little punk brat to half demon hero. So by the end he is decent.
As for Vergil, while he seemed different in the original story, his DLC shows him pretty much as classic Vergil. Especially his gameplay that's identical animation wise. Story wise i loved his scenery and pace. Great DLC. Now with BP too.
Dont miss it. And also buy DMC4 SE this summer.

I'd like to play this (or even DmC vanilla) on PC someday.
Seems like it was Ninja Theory/Capcom's opinion too considering the fixes.

Should of been clear, I beat DmC already but was a little disappointed with how easy it was to get SSS and I found a pretty game breaking glitch with Virgil that allowed me to stay in the air and fire projectiles forever. DMC is my favorite game series though and I'm eager to see if they fixed the issues I had with it.

I have the same opinion. I liked the vanilla DmC but the improvements and additions made in this Definitive Edition are making the game more enjoyable.
I can't say much more because of the embargo but I'm having a blast playing this.

This will be my first foray into the series. I am excited to get my hands on it.
In Hardcore mode it's much more difficult to get those high S ranks now as mentioned in the OP.
That glitch you are talking about is probably not a glitch and even though it will do damage you won't get good style ranks from it especially in Hardcore mode. Plus Vergil is meant to be over powered anyway, he already has many game breaking mechanics which make him fun to play.
Color-coded enemies that keep you from using certain weapons, scripted walking sections, cutscenes interrupting boss fights, and NG3-level boss fights. Such great design choices.
Color coded has been corrected
the Bob Barbas and Night Club bosses were badass
And once again, its all your opinion

I may get it.

This will be the first time I play this game in any form. Worth the wait after improvements?
The original game release was plagued with poor design choices. That's just reality, and also why this version of the game removed a lot of those things.
Bob Barbas is one of the worst bosses in the game. Interesting visually with absolutely zero substance. Bosses are not a strong suit of DmC.
It's a million times better than the original release, and offers fixes that make it more in line with the DMC series, fixing what was possible.

its a fine game on its own, not as good as dmc1, 3 or 4, but solid. the color coating was fixed so imo the biggest flaw is the mediocre bosses. IMO the only ok to good bosses are Hunter, Bob Barbas and the last boss, and Barbas is more spectacle than anything but man it was cool looking
The post I quoted was quoting another post that referred to the DE as fixing bad design choices. Don't know why you felt the need to point out the colored enemies have been fixed, because if you even set foot in the previous thread you'd realize that I'm quite aware of everything that's been revealed to be new about this remaster.
Dumb AI even on the highest difficulty, low damage, cutscenes interrupting gameplay aren't opinions. But it's my opinion that those things equal bad boss fights, sure. Keep in mind I actually like quite a lot about this game, but whatever, opinions.

I agree with you on the walking sections.

Color coded enemies never bothered me at all but the forced walking sections and few unskippable ''cutscenes'' were pretty bad for fast replayability.

Turbo mode is worth it alone. It feels so fucking damn good alongside the framerate.

I thought that spoiler was a joke..why would they do that? ._.
It's a pretty good way to tell when somebody is out of arguments.
