Devil May Cry Franchise Getting the HD Re-Release Treatment?

A lot of HD re-releases have come about these days; not that it's a bad thing. It seems pretty nifty for people who have never experienced gaming franchises and some that do it for the nostalgic factor. Not to mention that these re-releases are some of the most beloved franchises after all these years and with another addition like Devil May Cry, it's really a definite thing that many gamers damned excited.

Earlier this week, G4TV reported that it's been spotted on the official ESRB website that the games, from the first installment to the third game, have been re-rated and also labeled for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, with the exception of the original Playstation 2 rating, as noticed on there as well. It's pretty damn awesome and cool for gamers when things like this happen, but kind of a bummer when the ESRB outs big surprises like this.

As a fan of Devil May Cry, I'm keeping this on my radar!

Splinter Cell HD Trilogy to Not Include Multiplayer, Are PC Ports

Splinter Cell was one of the most amazing, and yet, difficult stealth games to comes out in years. Probably being one of the best as well, with nice spin that Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory had with multiplayer; Spy Vs. Mercenary. It's nice to see that the original Splinter Cell games are coming back in HD, but one thing is missing from the 2nd and 3rd installment from the re-release; multiplayer. Sad to hear that, no? It was such a cool spin, but don't keep your hopes up about it, even if you were to petition it to Ubisoft.

One good thing out of this is the fact that the HD re-release of all 3 games aren't going to be the PS2 ports of the games when it was originally released on Microsoft's first console, the Xbox. All versions of the game in this trilogy will be based off of the PC releases of the games, which is great! Why? Higher-res textures and polygons! I mean c'mon, we should all know that anything and everything PC is better than consoles, besides certain games with glitches for whatever reason.

Splinter Cell HD Trilogy is set to release for the Playstation 3 on June 21st
