HD Collection

The smoothest version of the original PS2 PAL game. Has a graphical bugs and a new Flame Heart glitch which overextends the hitbox. If Dante's Round Trip hit at certain environment or against the enemy in a specific spot, everyone else will get hit including the breakable objects. Lucia's Aerial Cross has unusual interaction against Orangguerra, Noctpteran and Arius-Argosax. This version also "fixed" an issue in PS2 where Noctpteran last two larva eggs are not supposed to be destroyed by any means.

PS3/Xbox 360 (2012) : Upscaled version of PS2 PAL with some missing SFX. Currently the fastest platform for the main categories. The Eye Clip trick works differently than the Core game. This version can be also played on PlayStation Plus Cloud Streaming (PS4/PS5/PC).

PS4/XboxOne/PC (2018) : Further Upscaled version of 2012 port. Has slightly better load times than 2012, but no longer has an ability to do Eye Clip trick. Prone to crashes when using DT at specific timing and some other events. Has a new glitch where shotgun blast hits all enemies on screen.
