VideoGamer spoke to Itsuno-san at a recent event for DMC 5 and asked him if he would be interested in remaking any of the past games, especially given Capcom’s excellent track record with remakes.
**Devil May Cry 5 director Hideaki Itsuno has said that he would rather work on a new game in the series than a remake. The director says so lol! In fact it’s a sequel prequel maybe after 2 I hope so it would explain where Vergil has been since 5 I mean they got easier with every new game but they’re still fun as hell. At least the gameplay is consistent… kinda. There’s defo no sequel happening, though I wouldnt doubt another reboot cuz everything after 1 was written by retards. You can be stubborn and all, but 3 is the single worst selling game in the series. In 5, Yamato is literally Neros arm but it’s okay because he grows a new one with the power of love at the end. Nero had a demon arm before he even acquired Yamato. I mean ffs Nero gets his arm chopped off because Vergil needs Yamato. That’s because the writing is lazy and not concise. Now its… I guess pizza and cringey cutscenes?Īre you comparing DMC to Star Wars? Do you need to lay down or something? Star Wars had extended media because people wanted more… not to explain things people otherwise wouldn’t know if they hadn’t ever seen Star Wars.ĭMC needs extended media because there’s no way to explain 1-3 without it, let alone between 4-5. No mention of ‘well my brother is actually alive but in hell, we used to have sword fights all the time, there’s actually legends about us and everything’.īecause in DMC1, Vergil died as a child and that was part of Dantes motivation as a character. In 1, Dantes well and established, and would likely remember the events of 3… Trish says ‘your family died 20 years ago’. The same game in which he pursues Vergil the entire game, ultimately trapping him in the underworld.
3 doesn’t explain it, it retcons it.ĭante supposedly just opens up shop in 3.
Dude took his helmet off on stage 3 and Dante didn’t have a clue who he was until the Amulet fell. Its a textbook macguffin device it’s whatever the plot needs it to be to actually move. Which is why it never once becomes Sparda again. I failed to mention because it’s pretty clearly just an endgame weapon that needs to be worth unlocking.
In game its legit just Alastor with a katana skin applied. But I’m pretty sure it’s the last game they’re gonna make because the story is so fucked they needed to include a general rundown to get everyone on the same page lmao You should ask yourself why they were so adamant on rebooting in the first place? Don’t pretend DMC is some kinda console selling franchise lol 3 tanked the series and 4 almost put the nails in the coffin.ĭon’t get me wrong I’m happy 5 is a thing. The reason we have 5 is because after DmC2 was off the table, Capcom gave Itsuno the choice between DMC5 or Dragons Dogma 2. The reason they didn’t is because NT signed a contract with Microsoft which meant no more DmC. 1 as well was the top selling game until 4SE, and now 5.īoth Capcom and Itsuno both expressed a desire to continue DmC. There was no content, and OG players didn’t understand why Dante was now a teenager with his shop, as well as why tf Vergil is alive? On top of all that, the normal difficulty was set to hard on western copies… so it was a major failure until the Special Edition happened which added all the bells and whistles.ĭmC remains at higher sales that 3 and 3SE. The worst selling game in the series is 3.
You shouldn’t have to purchase extended media to relay a story… unless that story is absolutely full of plot holes that need to be explained after the fact. Mentioning the anime at all just proves my point that the story is all over the place. You seem to be someone who likely started with 3, because you have no knowledge of the original storyline. If you need some reassurance, it’s literally stated in the Nelo Angelos notes, maybe you didn’t get that far? This is because Vergil was killed as a child. Amulet falls, Dante realizes he’s been fighting his brother and you hear the sound of children playing… not having anime sword fights on a tower of babel ripoff. There might be some projection here I don’t think you played the first game otherwise you’d know that’s literally stated in the first scene. It came from the amulets… you might have missed that when Dante got both, Force Edge became Sparda. Not even it’s description says anything remotely noteworthy. You get it by unlocking LDK, and… sorry man, there’s absolutely nothing special about it prior to 3.
