Does Capcom even have any staff left that can make a proper Devil May Cry game, or are they gonna have outsource like how Team Ninja outsourced Ninja Gaiden to PlatinumGames?
Staff? Yes. Most of the DMC5 team is still at Capcom.If a new director can carry the series remains to be seen
>>724892090This. They do have Kamiya back but he's busy with Okami 2. I would assume the guy who did 5SE will do a remake of 1 because remakes are all the industry can do now.
>>724891956they made dmc5 so probably not. maybe they should farm it out to better devs who won't include forced emo kid levels
>>724892718>forced emo kid levelsPeople love Dante and Vergil though.
>>724892461Clover 2.0 isn't part of Capcom, THOUGH, and Kamiya is old so he's probably just gonna do VJ3 and retire. IF Okami 2 sells, that is (it won't).
>>724892090I'm not sure what the reception would be but they could do a Bloody Palace/Monster Hunter/Less shit Peak of Combat and just make a spinoff where you traverse and slash up demons with minimal story outside of clearing up trouble.
>>724893274That's all the DMC4/5 side of the fanbase wants so it'd be an easy sell. The DMC1/3 side still wants exploration on top of the action.
>>724893274>>724893498I want a proper game, with a proper story and proper levels. 5 had some great ideas like mission 16's multiple paths, the different stuff for V and Nero in mission 7.>>724893146I see. I think something will happen. DMC is a hot property for Capcom right now and they have done so little with it but the next game won't be Kamiya, that is for sure.
>>724894269>I want a proper game, with a proper story and proper levels.I feel you, since from its inception DMC was more than just a beat em up, but at the same time a barebones spinoff using pre-existing assets, mods and minor tweaks to let us play Dante, Vergil, Nero, V, Trish, Lady & Lucia with all their abilities and devil arms against a roster of all the enemies of the series like a solo or multiplayer Legendary Dark Knight Mode would probably draw in enough dosh with little effort to convince Capcom to take the earnings and make a DMC6 proper like how DMC4SE's sales generated a convincing argument for DMCV.
>>724896679I guess I wouldn't oppose DMC getting a spin off like that. Just being able to use every character with every weapon against every enemy and boss would be enticing enough. I don't think Capcom would feel the need to make something like that though. DMC5 is popular and sold very well, probably the only reason we haven't had new DMC games from them is due to Covid and Dragon's Dogma II. The former due to impacting dev and games need years of dev time now, the latter because Itsuno was basically the DMC guy at Capcom for two decades and he took the DMC5 team to DDII. That said, Capcom have been weird with the series since the beginning.
Next DMC should be an MMO with high levels of character and moveset customizationtakes place during a big demon invasion and all the players are just the great varieties of demon hunters which exist in the worldkeep in all the Crazy Combat, style meter, action gameplay but pit whole groups of players against armies of demons and bossyou do these on contracts which let you buy new gear, gothic clothing, and fun stuff for your hideout, while defeating enemies gets you orbs which you spend on expanding your movesetmaybe 1-3 classes which let you lean more towards either guns, summons, or swords as your weaponsCharacters from the mainline games are occasionally there to help you out with big story missions
>>724897370I do want something like that but not the next game. I think 6 could and should serve as the definitive ending and send off, then we can do all the spin offs, prequels and sequels.
>>724891956Depends on how many names they have left to use from The Divine Comedy or Polytheistic Pantheons.
>>724891956Lady is a cute
>>7248976752 was using names from the Council of Nicea, part of early church history (Arius) and 4 was straight up just using parts of the Catholic Mass as names (Sanctus, Kyrie, Creedo) so pretty much anything that's Catholicism is on the table
sorry >>724898951meant for>>724898339
>>724892461wait 5SE is out? what does it include?
>>724902158Anon... it came out five years ago. 5SE added Vergil, turbo and LDK modes, as well as ray tracing. It only came out on console though, PC only got Vergil but modders were pissed so went above and beyond to give PC the ultimate SE.
>>724902382oh right, for PC it was called definitive edition or smth does it not add trish and lady?
>>724902773No, only Vergil.
>>724891956there's no staff able to make a proper SF game, let alone a DMC game
>>724903880I fucking hate when these faggots cuck the PC master race. Thought that era was over
Probably.NG4 while flawed was a really good emulation of the NG formula, I can see Capcum making a DMC6 and it being good even without Itsuno.
>>724904207and yet they made 2 proper SF games since 2008 - outside of 10 updated versions for each gameslashers are simply not mainstream enough as a genre and its hard to con casuals into thinking its for them
>>724891956What do we even need a new one for? Have you beaten Bloody Palace with every character in every game? I don't think so. Better get back to it.
>>724904695I kind of want a continuation of the story.
>>724904695its such a fucking slog in 5 and 3 tho because of how many levels there are
>>724904752>playing DMC for the storyand even if you're one of those people, the entire main cast finished all their character arcs in 5. Basically the only reason I'd want a DMC6 is because I can see it being the first game where Vergil is playable during the main campaign, and thus we'd probably get some long overdue updates to his weapon loadout and moveset. And even then 5 Vergil still feels pretty distinct from prior versions of Vergil
>>724904986I honestly just want it as an epilogue to the franchise.5 is okay as an ending point but "Dante and Vergil are stuck in hell while Nero inherits the business" doesn't fully sit right with me. It's fine, it works, but I want more. There's opportunity for it like Vergil being playable without needing a SE.I'd love a game about Dante and Vergil breaking out of hell and giving us a happily ever after with a couple of Nero missions doing MH style "hey handle this job kid" formula. Partly because I really want to go back to the demon world again, the levels were super neat in 3.After that you can just sell them out as crossover characters since their stories are over so you just have them show up in other games as "haha Dante is on a job again" like with SMT.
>>724892461>KamiyaThat guy is pretty washed, I wouldn't trust him with having taste. We thought Itsuno was him and clearly he was pretty fallible too
>>724905249An epilogue with the entire cast being there on the DMC5 engine so that they can re-use assets would be ideal. I think 5 was relatively well crafted enough that simply aping 5 would be good enough
>>724905520I definitely agree. We don't need like, a big shift in graphics/engine. 5 looks fine almost decade later and I don't want it to be stuck in development hell because they want to reinvent the artstyle again.Just give us some new stuff like enemies, weapons and missions and we're golden, we can bury the franchise.
i just want a new megaman game
>>724905726Exactly. The worst and most likely thing capcom would do is make it open world . That would be a real disaster, in all likelihood they'll sit on the IP another couple of years and just ask Platinum to make as they seem to be the only ones who work on action games anymore
>>724905249>Dante, Vergil and Nero all playable and part of the story>Mundus returns>The three give him a triple jackpot to end him once and for all>Dante finally can enjoy life and move on, settles down, goes traveling etc.>Nero fully inherits the DMC business and announces he and Kyrie are expecting>Vergil gets over his guilt and works hard to protect people and to make amendsI want 6 to fully wrap everything up and send things off in a big way. They can do all kinds of things after that. Pointless remakes, Nero solo game, Vergil post DMC3 in hell, Lady and Trish game, human devil hunter game etc.
