Gone was the white-haired protagonist, Dante, replaced with a more youthful, edgier incarnation.

We have full 1080p resolution, and a solid, if not constant 60fps.

The key here is refinement, and Capcoms efforts to address various concerns fans had with the original release.

A clear example of this is the new combo system found in Hardcore mode.

This was different to previous releases, where it was much harder to build up a good combo rating.

you could even select an option where enemies only take damage after the combo meter rises a certain level.

The 60fps enhances the combat too, allowing for even more accurate timing and split-second manoeuvres.

This time, however, enemies arent invulnerable to some attacks, a problem with the original release.

Enemies will take damage from every kind of attack, only some are much more effective than others.

Approaching a big room or open area?

Itll be a fight, then.
