I do think it's more important for DMC5 to tell a good story about the (wildly dysfunctional) Sparda family, but it's better off focusing on basically the five playable characters from DMC4SE, plus whichever villain character(s) get introduced. As long as nobody's seeking the power of Sparda yet again, I'm kind of okay if DMC5 focuses on a story with heart over, like, power levels. Ideally both things can be achieved at once, of course.
That's going to be Nero.Can't wait for a "How come he don't want me man?" from Dante in DMC5!

Haven't played No More Heroes but these stuff are a tradition in Yakuza series. Especially Yakuza 0 has some really memorable ones that I can't link due to spoilers. So whenever you get around to playing it, you should be able to enjoy more of these
I'm impressed.
I don't think that would've really affected DMC series in any way. OG DMC is basically Itsuno's franchise now and I don't think he would've been to one to work on a possible DC if Capcom wanted to make one since IIRC he hasn't really made any shooter before.
I didn't mean that. I meant that since Capcom said they wanted to revive some of their old franchises that haven't been had a new entry in a while, the exclusion of Dino Crisis leaves out DMC and Viewtiful Joe as their only franchises with similar release dates for their latest mainline releases, so if they publish a new game following their criteria, they will probably publish either a new DMC or a new Viewtiful Joe. Thus, the likeliness of a new DMC coming is higher now than it was before (considering Capcom has limited resources and can make only so many games at the same time).
Wasn't the last VJ back in 2004, though? Even if we exclude DmC (which I'm sure Capcom doesn't) the last DMC entry would be from 2008. As much as would love to see older stuff like Onimusha, God Hand or VJ come back, I think the most likely candidates from Capcom to make a come back are stuff that they were still making in PS3 era.
Nah, DmC is totally out of the question. Capcom won't even dare say its name after that PR disaster that game was. VJ may be older, but I don't think it has the same fan base as DMC, especially after all these years. Onimusha is a good candidate too, but I dunno. Has it got a following as big as DMC's at the present time?
I don't know man. The "we will revive more franchises" news came after MvC:I's announcement so in their eyes, they revived that series even though UMvC3 had been released 5 years prior. So, I don't think they are necessarily thinking of games during PS2 era with that statement.
Well, that's one good argument against a new Viewtiful Joe as the next dormant franchise getting revived. I mean, after Itsuno took over DMC it became pretty much his series and stopped being Kamiya's, so considering he's still at Capcom while Kamiya isn't there anymore a new DMC is far more than just possible.
I don't think there's any kind of correlation between their announcement of MvC:I and the quote about "reviving dormant franchises", because they said "revive series that have not had new entries recently", not "revive MORE series that have not had new entries recently". Technically, the MvC:I announcement came before their quote so it's not part of that plan.I don't know man. The "we will revive more franchises" news came after MvC:I's announcement so in their eyes, they revived that series even though UMvC3 had been released 5 years prior. So, I don't think they are necessarily thinking of games during PS2 era with that statement.
As for what series might have a chance of getting a new entry from Capcom, I think Onimusha is the only one that they've actually mentioned before. It also had a trademark registration a couple of years ago. Other than that, there hasn't been any other signs pointing to other franchises of Capcom getting a second chance.
Well other than DMC, cause we all believe in that
Exactly what I meant with the last reply. Their best bet for a successful "revival" right now is DMC. Didn't know about Onimusha, but it seems like it still sells less than DMC based on what you say, so it's still a second best.
So the ones fighting to have another shot at life are DMC and Onimusha...well, I hope Capcom chooses the easy way out and makes its decision based upon DMC4SE's (and maybe even NieR: Automata's) sales.
You can take that even further. "With these demonic seeds called arisen, you can grow plants at an increased speed."

This would be so funny. Now I kinda want them to do this as fake out, hahaha.
You're counting on Capcom, the same ones who made the poor decision of rebooting DMC in the first place, to be smart and recognize that the reboot was one the worst business decisions they could've made? I dunno, I don't feel that confident in their ability to learn from their mistakes. I just hope they take a look at the sales and take a decision accordingly. Good sales are somewhat of a working replacement for good judgement (which Capcom clearly doesn't have).
Yeah, exactly. It baffles me how this franchise, one of the PS2's best and most beloved hack'n'slash series, managed to survive under Capcom's retarded management. Doesn't make sense, really...most series would've been canned by the second installment after a series of bad decisions like this.
Well then, it seems like I was mistaken. I stand corrected. But still, MvC having been dormant for 5 years and getting revived means that DMC, having been in a limbo for almost 10 years, should be a priority for Capcom right now, shouldn't it?
The prospect of a new Onimusha is really exciting, especially now that we live in a post Nier Automata world. That game gets a TON of things right, so I can't help but be excited about what inspirations other devs might get from it. Especially since critically it's a very successful game. I think a new Onimusha that takes some inspirations from Nier Automata in the way that it's designed, could be something truly special.
Oh man, that sucks. I was spoiled on the (not really a spoiler)
Some people are just into these... ummm... kind of stuff... you know. *looks at GE and darkslayer*
