Yeah, the dude that wrote that comment on Amazon is obviously either a complete idiot and/or just dissing the game because he has some legitimate beef with Capcom, such as their "in-game" dlc garbage and is just going to take it out any and everywhere he can.
However, you do have to be careful when reading that article from Lens of Truth because they keep referencing it as an "HD
remake", which it obviously is not. It is an
"HD upscale" just like every other HD collection of last-gen console games but certainly
not just a "widescreen upscale" as that idiot on Amazon said. I mean seriously, wtf is a widescreen
upscale...it's not an upscale at all it's just a simple optimization of the game's aspect ratio to properly fit the 16:9 format. And given that you can play all the DMC games in widescreen on your PS2 if you set it to a 16:9 aspect ratio (and turn on texture smoothing if you want, though you have to remember to turn that off when you play PS1 games), I don't think Capcom or any publisher would be dumb to assume people wouldn't notice that there would be NO graphical difference from the original games.
And it's like I was saying before, from my experience with the HD upscaled games I've played on PS3, you can definitely tell that textures have been smoothed, colors and shading have been made to look more realistic and "filled in" with the higher resolution, along with some other nice touches. Unfortunately, you're still going to see elements of the original graphics since nothing has been changed at the core graphics programming level, which would be quite a bit more expensive. So basically none of these games are going to look anywhere near the quality of most current-gen games that were originally designed for HD resolutions and take full advantage of that because these games weren't. But it's not too expensive to upscale games developed from 480i/480p resolutions to 720p and see a decent increase in the visual aesthetics. It's really give and take; but overall if you haven't played the original series or have played it but don't own and are interested in playing it again, then you're getting a pretty good deal on most of the HD collections.
