So what's Next for the Devil May Cry series, Post Netflix's shitshow of course
>>739328970Nothing, hopefully.
>>739328970Dante and vergil retired. Now its just Nero.OR, a slog of dante and vergil in hell.
>>739328970If we're going by the precedent Castlevania set, we suffer through netflix garbage for 10 years and finally get a new gameThe jury's still out on whether said game will be any good
>>739329195>The jury's still out on whether said game will be any goodWell Itsuno's gone and the gameplay director fucked off to square so who knows?It could be they are making a 1 remake so the new guys can test the waters before outright making a sequel./
>>739328970Unfortunately, it will be a remake of DMC1. As for a new game, you'll either get a DMC 6 that's Dante/Vergil dicking around in hell, Nero/Lady/Trish dicking around as Devil May Cry, or that DMC0 Sparda game every wants from some reason.Realistically, Capcom will just dumpster the DMC5 setups to have Nero go to hell to help Dante and Vergil with whatever the fuck.
>>739329531Kamiya is back at capcom who knows
>>739329554>or that DMC0 Sparda game every wants from some reasonI was thinking that rather than a full on prequel about how Sparda saved humanity, Maybe it would be better if Sparda and Eva were in a side game set in the 50s or 60s or a sub plot in a non existent God Hand Sequel, co developed by platinum and that new CLOVERS studio and it can in part be about their relationship. The best thing about that approach is that you can leave most of Sparda's accomplishments off screen with only like a few flashback missions.I was thinking of some cheesy crap about them meeting as kids like Eva trespassed on his family's roman apple orchard, They form a witches contract and sometime after the war, Eva gets captured, imprisoned and frozen Bayonetta style in some south american temple for almost 2000 years before being found by a Devil hunter Sparda himself hired
>>739330560>Time travelling Nero ends up 2 millenia ago and awakens Sparda to justice.
>>739329052Nero could have a son or daughter.He already has a wifey
>>739328970Devil May Cry Cooking books
>>739330905Hell, Halo got one. Shame they don't all resemble MREs
>>739330781Dude, A Bratty potty mouth grandson will only strengthen his loyalty to Demonkind. It's gotta be human pussy
retcon 5 and have dante and lady have a kid who becomes the main playable character in the new game and go back to a haunted castle on an island with resident evil puzzles
>>739331151A potty mouthed grandson who will teach Sparda the possibilities of human pussy.What do y'all think of a playable Dante & Vergil at the same time, not a simple doppleganger but D&V doing moves together and styling all over.
>>739331402Sounds like a fucking headache
>>739329554itsuno was the only person that actually wants nero around and now he's out, every single dmc collab has been dante and vergil
>>739332001Do you think if Itsuno ever made a Resident Evil game, it would just jerk off Jake and Wesker with Chris and Leon becoming side characters in their own series?
>>739328970Hopefully 6. Capcom has been doing pretty good lately but it feels like every game they put out was a hair away from crashing and burning or had an awful time in dev with multiple restarts or a lot of scrapped stuffsucks that Itsuno left too>DEEE EM CEE IS BACK>AND LET'S DO DOGMactually that kind of sucked see you guys later. Tencent pays more
>>739332001I want Nero around. Nero is rad
>>739331384Imagine the buthurt if Dante had an off screen retcon Daughter and the mother wasn't a DMC character.
>>739329679Other than pick related, What would Kamiya add to DMC6.
>>739329554Is Kamiya directing the remake?
>>739333132Another shmup section.
>>739333284Not him, but I think he's just speculating and Kamiya's currently working on Okami 2 anyway.
>>739328970DMC 6 DantexLady wedding, setting up a future DMC game with Dante and Nero's descendants
>>739333464You know, i'm thinking of why the Space Harrier sections suck so hard in DMC1, And I think the main reason is you actually have to try for a mechanic that only shows up for like one 4 minute section. Gimmick sections in action games can be a drag, but if they aren't optional, at least make them piss easy.
>>739333284No since he's most likely making Okami but he could still be producing and supervising.
>>739328970I don't want anything else from this series, because DMC V was clearly meant to be a bookends moment for the IP.>inb4 muh remakes, muh sale numbersNU-CAPCOM change too much or completely screw those up, and given what an absolute shitshow the Nigflix cartoon is, it doesn't really inspire confidence that good would come from 3rd party licensed stuff either.
1 remake is most likely, unfortunately. 6 with Date, Vergil and Nero fully fleshed out and realized would be the ideal.>>739332001Wrong. He wanted 5 to be just Dante but the team wanted Nero. 5 did a lot to redeem Nero to most of his haters but I've always liked him, he's my favorite even.
>>739328970A DMC prequel where Sparda is Mundus boyfriend general, until Sparda gets a crumb of human pussy from Lady's Ancestor Priestess. At the end of the game, you see Sparda with Eva looking at Baby Dante and Vergil 2000 years later.
>>739334162Source on that? Wasn't he the one who came up with Nero in the first place?
>>739334224>until Sparda gets a crumb of human pussy from Lady's Ancestor PriestessWhy do people think Sparda fucked Lady's ancestor? I thought the whole point of Sparda killing her was to prove he's an end justify the means kind of guy and will do some terrible shit for the greater good.Also Eva was Spardas first and only love, She wasn't proto Kyrie.
>>739334380I think maybe I got swindled by something a while back. Can't seem to find anything that goes with that.
>>739334507you saw how lady herself was strong willed, badass and hot enough to change dante forever, you think lady's ancestor was just some rando woman to sparda
>>739334162> I've always liked him, he's my favorite even.i'm glad you enjoyed dmc4 (your first dmc game) that much but that doesn't change literally every dmc crossover being dante, and maybe vergil, and that's it. he couldn't even make it into fucking marvel vs capcom but trish could
>>739334507Nta but I thought that was Arkham’s incorrect version of past events. So Sparda really did kill a woman? It doesn't make sense
>>739328970 Some options:DMC1 Remake - boring, and will be worse than the original unless Kamiya is directing it himself, but will probably still be fun and is a safe bet for Capcom, so its probably already being madeDMC2 Remake - never happening, but would be way more interesting than a DMC1 remake. Could potentially set up Lucia as a protag for future sequels, since the Spardabros storyline is wrapped up nicely.DMC6 with the existing cast - would probably be fun but the plot would probably be bad since there's no loose ends to work with, and without the same team working on it there'd end up being some NG2 vs 3 autism wars over combat changes.DMC6 with a cast shakeup (No Dante or Vergil, maybe a completely new protagonist) - would get the most immediate negative reaction from fans but the most interesting and high potential route they could takeDMC0 - kind of splits the difference between the safe and risky versions of a DMC6, Sparda would likely play similar to the existing characters but there's more room to explore plotlines for him.DmC: DMC 2 - the correct choice for enlightened gamers. Not as unrealistic as it seems.
>>739335310>DMC6 with the existing cast - would probably be fun but the plot would probably be bad since there's no loose ends to work withHey, Mundus is still alive according to himself, You could always have another fight inspired by Datne's inferno
>>739334917Darn. You got me interested.
>>739335168>he couldn't even make it into fucking marvel vs capcomTo add to this, Lady was rumored to be dlc in Infinite before the dlc was cancelled
>>739335298>So Sparda really did kill a woman? It doesn't make senseIt makes perfect sense when you remember that Kamiya loves the evil Dad twist from Star Wars and has it in almost every game he's ever made.DMC has it with Trish and MundusBayonetta has it with BalderViewtiful Joe has it with with Captain blue and VJ 2 has it with Jet Black as wellHell Back when DMC1 was gonna be RE4, Tony Redgrave's father was gonna be Oswell Spencer, the founder of Umbrella.If Kamiya ever made or at least produced an DMC sequel, I bet you Sparda would somehow Turn evil.
I can't believe Netflix made Sparda pull a Hoenheim instead of just dying.
What I hope for the most is that Dante x Lady never becomes canon. Fuck all shippers. They barely even talked to each other in dmc 5. Maybe something could’ve happened between them back in 3, but Dante from 4 and 5 would never fall in love with Lady or Trish, not his level. The only person who would suit him is a normal woman without any powers, which was probably the case for Vergil too. But after the shitflix series, Capcom probably won’t do that, so Dante will most likely never have children
>>739335298Unless the woman willingly let Sparda sacrifice her. They never say exactly what happened there.
>>739329052Two protags, Nero and Sparda. 20 missions each with some overlap. Sparda's trying to open the demon world to get revenge on Mundus or something, Nero's trying to stop him.Nero plays like Nero but has multiple weapons.Sparda plays like Dante but has different styles to him.
>>739334507>>739335298>>739335874nowhere does it say sparda killed the woman to seal the tower, just used her blood. arkham only had to stab lady in the leg an injury she recovers from in a few hours
>>739336148>They barely even talked to each other in dmc 5.yes, they've been course correcting this ever since if you haven't noticed yet
I liked V both as a character and in gameplay unironically. I hope they figure out some bullshit reason to still have him show up. Or if it's just for gameplay they could add him in addition to playable Vergil when the inevitable SPECIAL EDITION SERIES drops (if we get a DMC6 at all instead of just remakeslop)
>>739328970dead IP
>>739338514Just replace him with Patty
>>739335168DMC1 was technically my first but 3 was the first one I beat proper. The other shit you mentioned doesn't mean anything to my love of Nero.
Why don't I ever see discussion about routing out the games or posting cool gameplay in character action threads? I see it in God Hand threads. Is character action a poseur faggot genre?
who are you kidding retard, god hand threads on /v/ are just people saying the game sucks and only browns like it and people defending the game, nobody has a chance to talk about it
>>739338514having 2 playable vergils was the nadir of vergil wank, im glad were finally past this, 6 will be free to actually do new stuff
>>739338514I was expecting that vergil would just have a full on "V mode" as a way to address the complaints about how limited he feels compared to the other two but instead they just reused a cut move and slapped it in there.guess the idea is doppleganger is a similar but infinitely more interesting mechanic, but between this and the PC mod that lets you play dante in every level I genuinely haven't played V since the game came out
>>739328970DMC5:SE for Switch 2 is all we're getting for a while. I'd love a DMC6 with quality Lady booty for PChads to enjoy like 5. Visually 5. Musically a mix of 4 & 5. Combat more similar to 4. Some more co-op gimmick levels would be neato. More complex bosses.
>>739329531>Well Itsuno's gone and the gameplay director fucked off to square so who knows?Yeah Itsuno left and Kamiya came back to Clapcom. We might get Kamiya directed DM6 when he's done fucking around with his new Okami.
>>739335480they would need to pull some real bullshit out of their ass to make Mundus a threat that the bros wouldn't kill in like 10 seconds
>>739341302>they would need to pull some real bullshit out of their ass to make Mundus a threat that the bros wouldn't kill in like 10 secondsLets say that Mundus is in the Deepest circle of hell stealing the power of the frozen original Demon King, and after Mundus is outright killed, Said prison for said Demon king starts to fail, Finishing on chapter while setting up a new threat.
>>739328970lady and dante becoming canon will be the saving grace of netflix dmc
>>739342000Kamiya, save me with Mommy incest kino!
>>739342249DMC 6 will have a plot point where Eva's soul Possesses Trish's body and uses it to fuck her son Dante.
>>739340709Kamiya might want to do a remake of 1, but why would he want to do 6? he has to follow up fan expectations on nero and vergil after 5 and those characters aren't his
>>739343901>Kamiya might want to do a remake of 1, but why would he want to do 6? he has to follow up fan expectations on nero and vergil after 5 and those characters aren't hisRemake is likely, unfortunately, which is the dumbest motherfucking shit I can imagine DMC related. I hate the goddamn japs. Look forward not back you bugmen. As for WHY, he's got a massive fucking ego. He'll want to leave his mark on the series again and remaking and old game is not as honorabru.
https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/05/devil-may-cry-5-devil-hunter-edition-has-been-rated-for-switch-2
>>739343901Hey, Shinji Mikami made RE4 despite the fact that Leon was Kamiya's character, I think it's only fair for Kamiya to do the same for Itsuno
>>739344214mikami was still producer on re2 though even if he let kamiya do most of the hands on work, that's a little different from kamiya taking over a series he washed his hands of back in like 2004
>>739344214yeah and RE4 threw out the entire canon to do what amounted to a spinoff story, Devil may cry doing that would make DMCfags furious after a sequel to 5 taking a decade
>>739344554What would be the DMC equivalent to Umbrella shutting down off screen?
>>739344179Its going to be really annoying if this has some good exclusive content like the switch port of 3
>>739345771Wasn't that mostly cause Matt was apologizing for the split up Switch release?
>>739344146>remaking and old game is not as honorabruWhy? his mentor Mikami remade RE1 and it's considered one of the best games in the series
>>739344587Dante starting a family off-screen
DMC6 is going to be based off the show or they're going to remake DMC1 and it's going to be based off the show
>>739344587Vergil comes back to life and returns to Earth off screen.
>>739336148Dude you can still like him even if you can't self insert anymore
>>739342000Their Daughter is going to be the MC of a future game, bonus point if her name is Bianca
>>739338514I forgot V existed he fucking sucked dick
>>739347939>he never had a son;_;
>>739350038maybe dante already had a bastard son in dmc 1 because he impregnated some bitch but he doesn't take care of him and never mentioned him again
>>739350094>dante met lady before the events of dmc 1>they had a son>doesn't show up in 4 or 5 but by 5 his son should already be grown
>>739329679>>739333284>>739335310>>739340709>>739343901Kamiya is not back at Capcom, his new studio just happens to be named in reference to the old Capcom made studio and also just happens to be working with Capcom on their old IP.He points this out constantly whenever he gets pestered for new DMC or Capcom stuff.
>>739344587Time jump with Nero's kid as a protagonist. It is mentioned in the opening that Mundus was defeated at some point by Dante and Vergil, who have not been heard from since.
>>739350325Semantics. Kamiya owns the independent Clover Inc which is developing the sequel to a Capcom IP game (Okami) which is something that rarely happens. It is well within the realm of possibilities if not entirely likely that Capcom will look to Clover Inc to produce games for other Capcom IPs such as DMC. Capcom let those faggots make DmC after-all. And since Kamiya helped make DMC just like he helped make Okami, it is reasonable to assume he's high on the list to handle DMC6 as he is doing Okami 2. Nigger.
>>739328970DMC 6 directed by David Cage "pbuh" and music composed by Viper "you'll devils don't even cry"
Best Case scenario DMC: rise from hellDante and Vergil vs hell
>>739347939>>739350038>>739350094>>739350164Devil May Cry 3 - Dante is 19 and meets Lady who is 17 or 18. They fug shortly after the events of dmc 3 and have a son.Devil May Cry 1 - Dante is 28 or 29 and his son is 9 or 10. Lady is taking care of their kid somewhere else or some shit. That's why Lady doesn't appear in 1. Then at the end of dmc 1 Dante mentions his son.Devil May Cry 4 - Dante is around 38 and his son is around 20. So it makes sense that Dante and Lady aren't with their son during dmc 4 because he's a grown man at this time.Devil May Cry 5 - Dante is around 44 or 45 and his son is 26 or 27 still living his own life at this point.Devil May Cry 2 - who gives a fuckNeither Dante nor Lady ever explicitly state that they don't have children in any of the games.Why Lady was always ripping Dante off and Dante was always in debt to Lady: they have a son so she was making him pay for that and buying stuff for herself because they're basically married and have a kid together. Also she was taking care of the kid by herself during DMC1 so she wanted child support.Prove me wrong you can't
>>739338514He's not as bad as people say, just kinda flawed and undercooked (amplified by existing in the same game that gave us a vastly improved nero and arguably the best possible dante). If they ever bring him back he needs some rather drastic tweaks (mostly to pet positioning and button layout) but I think his playstyle can be saved
>>739351752>Prove me wrong you can'tTrish teasing Lady and Dante in the anime and DMC 4
>>739351752ALSO: Why would Dante explicitly mention son when, if he didn't have a kid yet, it could be a daughter? HMMMMM? That would be a stupid assumption to make if he didn't have a kid yet. He's oddly confident about having a son and not a daughter in this scene. It's because he already knows he has a son.
>>739350752>It is well within the realm of possibilitiesThis is true, but people need to stop acting like he's actually currently working directly in Capcom and that his next product will be another mainstream Capcom property.
>>739352059>teasing Lady and DanteThat could just mean they don't know how to show love and affection to each other but they still had a kid or their relationship is complicated which is why Lady wasn't around in dmc 1 and raising their son by herself
>>739352269Trish teases Lady about being jealous because Lady and Dante have a son together so she would be jealous
>>739335874The twist with Balder in Bayonetta is the exact opposite, he did not kill anyone and was completely innocent, Loptr killed Rosa while disguised as Loki, making Balder think Loki killed her, then in the final battle Aesir tried to escape after his body was destroyed so Balder absorbed him and jumped into the time portal back to his time to contain Aesir in a time loop for all eternity and only did all the evils shit in the first game under Aesir' influence.
>>739328970A cel-shaded DMC game made by a western studio based off the Netflix show.
>>739329052having thought about this, this wouldn't work.Dante and Vergil are mainstay of the franchise. it's like having a Metal Gear without Snake (or "hum actually it's not snake, he looks the same and has his voice and skills but it's not ok!!!???"), a Halo game without Halo or Covenants, or a Doom game without demons.also would you even be ok with it? go from 3 characters with a lot of moves to just 2? no royal guard, trickster & co? no judgement cut?
>>739328970You are going to get at least 2 more seasons of netflix dmc before a new game gets announced
>>739351752the remakes will make this canon
>>739328970Season 3 of the Netflix showPossible DMC1 remakeThen who knows, I do think pointing towards DMC1 like the REmakes did to RE9 where some of the stuff was pulled from it, and likely that the 6 entry has Mundus as the big villain. Could be honestly fun that they do something similar to RE2 and DMC5, and amped it up to two different stories that relate to each other. One is Nero back in Earth, possibly with Kyrie having a child on her way, with Nico, Lady and Trish assisting Nero and trying to stop some cult that's trying to get Mundus back, as they themselves are trying to get Dante (and Vergil I guess) back from the Underworld. Then similar to the Divine Comedy, both Vergil and Dante try to fight their way out of Hell, and possibly know more about Sparda and Mundus. Considering dmc5 did the same of taking shit from the anime, I wouldn't be surprised if they take stuff from the netflix show and either make Mundus less comically evil, and a bit more reasonable while still being batshit insane. Possibly making Sparda betrayal be a true betrayal.
>>739340709Kamiya will do viewtiful joe after okami 2, then devil may cry
>>739328970this game needs hotter girls with big booba or it'll flop>>739329052retired? they unite at the endnext game is just gonna be them dual style where you can play as team or co-op multiplayer
>>739361142vergil will never be playable in a base game, as usual he will only be playable in 6 special edition
>>739361263why not maybe this time it'll change
>>739329008Dante and Vergil in Hell but you switch between characters at will in single player as part of the combo, and there’s a full co-op experience
>>739362230Also has a lady / Trish mode same thing
i just hope 6 ends with nero getting apollo'd and then we don't have to see him in 7 and get a full dante game again
I never watched the show, why is it hated
>>739328970idk but I stopped having hope for a good DMC ever since 5 came out
>>739351752real
7 more years of nothing
>>739351752Happening during the same time as DMC 5: Dante's son is around the same age Dante was in dmc 1. Mundus is trying to come back and Dante's Son is dealing with that. Dante/Trish don't mention it in 5 because it's their son's problem/destiny to deal with that and Dante already beat Mundus before so he doesn't think it's a big deal or cares.
It's no secret that Devil May Cry doesn't have the most cohesive narrative. The complicated development history has led to a lot of retcons and a general dissonance between titles.How would you guys go about redoing Devil May Cry if you were given the opportunity to do so? You can add, cut, or trim anything you'd like so long as there's a clear narrative track and internal consistency between games and side material. I ask this because it's been on my mind since DMC3 first dropped back in the day. I think the fact that the story is all over the place between games lets Wiki-reading hacks like Adi Shankar completely fuck it all up. DMC doesn't help itself in this regard.
16 hours and not a single post about gameplay
>Goldstein
>>739368047>How would you guys go about redoing Devil May Cry if you were given the opportunity to do so?Thankfully it already exists
>>739368047DMC5's story is fucked beyond belief and should just be thrown in the trash. There's no way to tell a decent story with Vergil as the villain in a game set after DMC1. They can get kinda close by having a group of humans bring back the Temen Ni Gru in an attempt at gaining demonic power inspired by Vergil. You still have to be careful you're not just doing DMC3 again.DMC4 is half a game, where the first half is Nero screaming "KYRIE" and the second half is Dante acting like he's in a memeable TikTok. I don't want to just say "finish the game" because they can't afford it and that's not the whole problem. After the Berial fight, perspective switches to Dante, explaining that he's investigating the rise of demon attacks in Fortuna. Early in his investigation, he finds out that a portal to the demon world was opened up there months ago by the Order, and assumes they were attempting to be closer to Sparda but things went wildly out of control. He runs into Nero, insults the Order as a group of overzealous morons, and they fight. That fight ends with Dante taking his leave, but he was surprised that Nero posed a challenge at all, and that Nero appears to be part demon. Eventually, Sanctus attempts to use an army of artificial demons to kill Nero, ending with demon Agnus. Nero decides the Order is fucked, though not in the way Dante thought, and works to take it down from there. The climax is again Dante battling the Savior while Nero heads inside to take out Sanctus.
>>739328970DMC Remake that's worse than the originalThen in 10 years, DMC6, which will be worse than DMC5
>>739369696>DMC Remake that's worse than the originalInnless they double down on the swimming gameplay and space harrier sections, I doubt it.
>>739369479This is what Dante's son looks like
What's up my Ni Gru
>>739371121I know it's never gonna happen, But I hope Dante's child is a girl just to spite you.That and Nero makes Dante having a son redundent.
If you google Temen Ni Gru the ai responds in spanish
>>739371327I wanted him to have a daughter too before that crackhead theory that he already has a son
>>739371327He mentions a son in DMC1. That was probably a taunt because he's saying it to someone his dad beat the shit out of, but he clearly wants a kid who is a lot like him.
>>739371429As funny as it is to imagine Dante paying unofficial childsupport to Lady. Dante would have mentioned the kid to Patty at least.
>>739328970Kamiya creating Devil May Cry 0 with Sparda as the protagonist
>>739342249That's what we need.>>739344587Dante getting married with Trish and having a kid>but trish looks exactly like his momThat's the best part
>>739338680This
>>739368047>How would you guys go about redoing Devil May Cry if you were given the opportunity to do so?I would continue the original plans of Kamiya. Devil May Cry 1 is inspired by JoJo part 2, with Dante being Joseph and Trish/Eva being Lisa Lisa. Which means DMC2 should be part 3 with an older Dante fighting all sorts of minions of not-Dio around the world/hell.
>>739328970Character Assassination; Reveal that Dante has indeed fucked Trish, Lady, even Lucia to appease that one fucker that keeps shitposting that DMC2 is gothic kino. He made kids with all of them and it is why he is in crippling debt, paying out the ass for child support.So Guy(Lady's son), Luke(Lucia's son), Eva(Trish's daughter) and Nero form a team and go on randomly generated demon hunting adventures in a pseudo mmo format.
>>739374807At least pic related would become cannon.
>>739352596>The twist with Balder in Bayonetta is the exact opposite, he did not kill anyone and was completely innocentThat was a retroactive retcon made in post haste. Besides most of these evil dads were revealed to be misunderstood antiheros once beaten.
why did trish turn black in dmc4 I thought that was going to be a new character but it's just trish doing racis problematic blackface. I know she had to have a disguise and she has demon magic to disguise herself but why black
>>739375739Gloria was originally gonna be her own character, but some shit happened around DMC4's development, so she was changed into a disguise for Trish instead.You can actually can see Trish's lighting bolt motif on Gloria btw
>>739376006>You can actually can see Trish's lighting bolt motif on Gloria btwinteresting I never noticed that. it's kind of subtle (not as jagged and obviously shaped like a bolt) compared to the cut-out on trish's clothing but I can see it. it's mostly just the cord or whatever making the shape but honestly it kind of looks more like a tornado to me personally but I get what they were going for now.
I miss the religious vibe of 4. It was so peak.
I dropped V after I got the chainsaw motorcycle or whatever it was. Was there much left after that and is it even worth finishing? I'm pretty sure I would have to start all over because I don't think I still have the save file. I didn't like how the resident evil influences were basically completely dropped and no classic bringing an item back to another place like you're solving a classic resident evil "puzzle" because I love shit like that. When you were slashing the plants or whatever in the beginning that were in the way I was just like "oh boy they made this game more retarded for sure," that was basically the only thing remotely close to the old """""puzzles""""" that I saw in the game and it was super retarded generic dialed-in video game shit.Also it was all bright and sunny a lot of the time and you're just outside instead of an awesome haunted castle. You fight the sin scissors from 1 outside during the day basically. Was way cooler in a haunted castle. (1/fucking 4)
>>739378973 Sometimes it was night time... oooomg so scary it's night time but you're still just in some town outside that doesn't even look creepy. I just wasn't feeling it jumping around the rubble around that part, then getting the chainsaw motorcycles seemed too tryhard and too much of a flanderization of all of the more over-the-top whackiness 3 introduced. 1 and 3 just had way better atmosphere/locations and some of the more "crazy" moments in 3 were at least more justified in my opinion because Dante was younger and less serious/more energetic/retarded like most younger people tend to be. But he's like 45 now and he was way less goofy than that in 1 and even 4 so it doesn't make much sense that he reverts back to hyper crazy hyped up on sugar at a birthday party epin chainsaw motorcycle mode. Just seemed like a reddit weapon it was just cringe. As if they were like, "Dante's supposed to be super crazy right?" Yeah, I don't know, not really, that was kind of just him in dmc 3 in my view and it made sense there. What sense does it make that he goes from crazy -> more chilled out -> suddenly uber crazy again. (2/4)
>>739378198The time has come and so have I
>>739379036And the chainsaw motorcycles just like appeared too it wasn't like a cool ancient artifact or anything like how you go get Ifrit in 1. Yes that part was video gamey with floating platforms but it was like cool demon magic platforms in a spooky area. Now that I think of it, that reminds me that there was basically zero platforming in the game that I can recall either, even though it has way easier controls.I actually really like the fixed camera angles from the older games even though no one agrees with me because it can make some scenes feel more dramatic and artistic and adds to the atmosphere compared to "generic video game camera." I never had an issue with the angles changing because I would just realize that the camera angle changed and instantly adapt and remember where the camera angle change is triggered but I grew up with this kind of shit so I'm used to it.What else... I didn't love 4 as much as 1 and 3 either but it wasn't bad. I mostly didn't like how it really felt like half of a game and you just to back and do the same bosses in the exact same area again without even trying to switch anything up about the mission or route you take and then it's just boss #1 again in a giant field, boss #2 again in a giant field, boss #3 again in a giant field. I only beat it once on the hardest difficulty it let you choose at first back when it came out so my memory of it isn't great and I already forgot a lot of 5 too I think. But I don't think it's surprising or profound to say 1 and 3 are my favorites. (3/4)
>>739379141Even though 1 and 3 have some things like fighting bosses again, I think they just handled it better. So I think I probably shouldn't even finish V because it's just going to be more retarded reddit shit. Like the bus crashing through the areas felt like cringe Reddit shit too it wasn't funny or cool it was just gay and retarded. There's a fucking reddit bus with a cutscene following you around fucking everywhere trying to be funny and just ruining the already not great vibe even more. Maybe I had to play it when I was 8 like I was when I played 1, but I still think dmc 1 is wayyyy cooler no matter what.(4/4)
>first 7 years of the franchise>DMC1-4>last 7 years of the franchise>nothing
Which is more kino: Devil Trigger or Time Has Come?
>>739379293Gotta be Shall never Surrender, I could see them recyling it for a Sparda Eva teamup fight THEY WILL SEE, WE'LL FIGHT UNTIL ETERNITY
>>739379645>Shall never SurrenderExtremely based choice. There are honestly no bad choices. Clapcom really knows its way around an OST. The only other nip game that comes close is Ace Combat (I am unreasonably excited for AC8 for the soundtrack). I honestly just want DMC6 for more hype music.
>>7393796454 did have some good tracks
>>739379835Actually I really liked the devil trigger song in V too even though I didn’t like the actual game very much
>>739379234Blame the team splitting apart to do other projects. Resident Evil has like 3 or 4 directors working simultaneously. DMC only has 1
>>739379917You mean Crimson Cloud?https://youtu.be/51_1zQg2k6s
>>739368047DMC6 needs to be a self-contained side story that has NOTHING to do with the Sons of Sparda® saga. Just stop referencing Dante's family altogether beyond a brief explanation in the prologue or something
As bad as the shitflix adaptation is, I do like the idea of a playable character having a similar fighting style to it's version of Lady, an agile but fragile tech based chick
>>739381283Devil may cry is a fucking family soap opera. Having it have nothing to do with the Sparda saga is like asking for RE not to mention Umbrella or one of its members for one game.
>>739381684RE lore is fucking retarded and has been complete mess for at least 25 years
>>739378198Yeah, I really like the setting of Fortuna; comfy place
>>739381676We could always bullshit Jill Valentine as a guest character. I mean someone has to fill the Special edition cause since Vergil will most likely be part of the main roster in 6 and there's No way Lady, Trish or even Lucia would be hype enough.
>>739382534>>739381684>>739381283>>739368047Both DMC and RE are written by the Japanese. There is no need to expound on it or critique it. The Japanese cannot write. That is just a fact. They have produced a total of one writer of note in the existence of their nation and that is Kiyoshi Shigematsu who at his peak could at best write a great short story. The important thing with a game like DMC are its core themes, setting, music and character's attitudes. That's really it. Trying to throw in a deep plot beyond, "We're on an adventure to kill that demon" is a fool's errand and frankly it has NO PLACE in DMC.
>>739383041That is true. I do enjoy the plots of DMC and RE but to pretend their plots could be above the slop you find in your average comic is a delusional idea.
>>739329052I feel like Dante and Vergil in Hell has more potential than people think. Dante never actually killed Mundus or anything, he just sent him back to Hell. I'd make it a story about Dante and Vergil fighting to escape Hell (Yamato can't do it now that they used it to seal the Qliphoth) and Mundus amassing literally every force Hell has to offer after them as they try and make it across Hell. You could finally throw in more of the cool trippy environments that old DMC had for Hell, and make the story about them being slowly worn down as they get through Hell until they have to fight Mundus again at the end, having maybe found some old relics of Sparda's along the way.Don't even need Nero, but if you want him, you could probably have him trying to break into Hell from the outside for a good portion of the game and only being able ot catch glimpses of Dante and Vergil, or just slightly help them through his fights on the outside affecting portions of Hell on the inside.
>>739383252I feel like that Game would work better if it was more DMC 5.5 rather than a true sequel, but that's fine. If you just copy pasted the combat from 5 with like one or 2 more devil arms and focused exclusively on Level design and new enemy's, I think it could still be a great project.
>>739378198We need more games where you fight the Catholic Church
>It's been almost a decade since DMC5What the fuck is happening? Is time going faster as we approach the death of god (me)?
>>739384174capcom still sees many of the franchises of the 2000s as still being stuck in the 2000s, and they are kinda right, difficult to replicate some of the creative juice of those times.
When DMC5 released I though it was admirable that the plot concluded with multiple directions to work with: Nero on Earth, the twins in Hell.On reflection, it's sort of a burden. They simply won't have the budget or game length to do both sides true justice, so they'll have to pick one or the other (or have both halfbaked with 4 hours of content). You could have DMC6 with no Nero (wasting all those DMC5 assets), or a focused Nero-only game. Problem is, a Nero only game would face immediate crippling backlash from a large part of the fanbase. After all, Dante literally won the official Capcom character poll; he's intrinsic to the series' identity, for better or worse.It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't.
>>739385289A reboot done in-house by Capcom may be the best thing for it. There are pretty big gaps between games. You take the series back to the start, plan shit out, recreate the big games in a new continuity and make more games during those in-between periods. You get a better product overall with more consistency in terms of both gameplay and story. I think the worst part about 4 is that Dante, Trish and Lady still had more stories to tell. You have a really good 1st game, a bad 2nd game, a great 3rd game, a solid 4th game, and a good 5th game. But they're all radically different. So many hands in and out hurt it.
>>739383041Campiness and B-horror movie storytelling is fine. But DMC has so many gaps that it's kind of fucked itself. I don't think anybody wants Devil May Cry to be "deep," I just think a lot of people want Capcom to treat it right. They've been fucking it up since 2. For how amazing 3 is, the franchise was really hurt by 2 and never recovered. DMC happened to come about during what would become Capcom's worst period. Wanting more comes from people that get it and love it.
>>739384646They don't have to "modernize" DMC.You can do so much with it.Instead of one single day/task divided into missions, actually make it an anthology with like 20 different jobs Dante/Nero/Lady/Trish had to complete.Dante is world famous by now, so he could go around the globe solving shit. That would take care of the plague that's been in the series since DMC4.Some cases requires brawn, others it takes brains.Vaguely interconnect some missions to work up to a boss fight.Make a game following Vergil's story after the house fire up to DMC5, were he had to fight a powerful demon to finally be able to get Nero's arm.I still can't believe they are following the Mission template but haven't done anything different with it.If they don't want to go the anthology route, let go of the menus (in the first playthrough) and just stitch the missions in a world that allows backtracking (or at least in the locations that are logical to do so).
Should I bother playing 1 or just play 3-5?
>>739386196yes play 1
>>739386196Play 1. It's awesome. Very special. Nothing else in the series is like it. It's campy as fuck, but the atmosphere is incredible. If you like games of that area, you'll like it. It handles well if you're familiar with those types of games.If you want more contemporary stuff, sure, play 3-5.
>>739386347>areaera*
>>739386025I find DMC4 and DMC5 to be great for what the game is. I don't really want a heavy story. I want CUH-ray-ZEE.
We... Shall never... Sneeeeeeeed.*whispers* We shall never sneed...We shall never sneed...
>>739371327Imagine this. Dante has twins. They're both girls.
>>739379141>the chainsaw motorcycles just like appeared too it wasn't like a cool ancient artifactThey literally came from the demon you defeat right before getting them (you know the one that has the exact same name) just like with the demons in 3; not like there was ever any consistency to what Devil Arms were since you had things like A&R, Gilgamesh or Nightmare-Beta which didn't work like that at all.In fact the bike that Cavaliere Angelo attaches to after leaving Trish is the same bike he throws at Dante before they fight so it's not even a random thing that happens. And then the demon bike itself is made from parts of Cavaliere's body like his legs, muscles, etc.You just weren't paying attention to what was going on.
I love playing as Vergil so much it's unrealMake the entire game about him
A DMC1 remake is probably next and its the right move imo. DMC6 has too many question marks around it. The old director left Capcom. It basically wrapped up most of the story. The gameplay complexity is essentially at a level where they can't add more stuff anymore. DMC in its current form is saturated. Sure they could go in a crazy new direction and make DMC6 an open world ARPG or something, but that would just piss fans off. A remake means both a fresh start but they also have a game to build of.
>>739388430Could be hot as shit if done well
meds
>>739342000cute
>>739388581>Sure they could go in a crazy new direction and make DMC6 an open world ARPG or somethingI think that could work for a Sparda game but a standard sequel staring Spardas decedents should remain liner.A bit of me is thinking that could dump the mission system much like modern Resident evils.
>>739388581DMC 1 remake is obviously the next step. Look at how well resi has done. What do you think Capcom will do?
>>739329052go to sleep, Itsuno. you don't even work at capcom anymore

>>739389826Ironic since even they hate this Dante.
>>739390048Oh.
>>739328970Reboot announced with a flashy trailer in 2 years canceled mid development due to global events (everyone on earth dying)
>>739388443Yeah I don't remember any of that. I just remembered fighting some enemy or possibly group of enemies and picking it up off of them. Thinking the weapon was stupid probably made me just remember it as a really lame moment. But it's not too far off of the other games where sometimes you fight a boss then get a new weapon. Besides 1 where you mostly just find them. I wasn't enjoying V much so I didn't care to remember enough about what happened especially years later I think. That's why I mentioned I don't remember 4 or 5 very well because I tend to just forget about stuff I don't care much about but thanks for explaining it because I don't remember any of that shit now. That's another reason I was thinking about replaying it because I mostly like the series and 1 and 3 are some of my favorite games so I should know what I'm actually talking about if I want to discuss it. I dunno if it's worth it to try and play again though since I mostly just remember thinking it wasn't that good and I'm kinda busy most of the time on top of that.
>Debuts in the worst game in series >Never appears in another game, best she gets is a single chapter in the 5 prequel novel >Shows up for 3 seconds in the Netflix show, just to job to a fucking net>"Surprise! Arius' butch secretary was the real Netflix Lucia!" which completely shits over character arc since that bitch was literally everything game Lucia was terrified of becomingIs Lucia the single most cursed character Capcom has ever created? She genuinely can never win
>>739392013She's lucky compared to Alex Winger.
>>739389243>Has Nero's voicethis is why netflix devil may cry is only watchable in japanese
>>739388952I really like all the 2000s nostalgia pandering. This show could've been really great, fun, and crazy popular if it were its own original cartoon released back in 2004
>>739392013Devil May cry 2 has no Vergil (the main character of the series) and is thus lower than a spinoff in importance
>>739328970make nero the main protagonist with dante and vergil being post game unlocks, give him an extra melee and ranged weapon and expand the robot arm system. More challenges and extra gamemodes and make the story about nero trying to find dante and vergil in hell, .Add a sexy nun as a secondary character and End it with nero getting married so dmc7 can be a timeskip with vergil's grandkids and a soft reboot
I'm scared bros I don't want any remakes, Capcom is just going to use that as an excuse to replace Reuben and make Dante say nasty words the real Dante is too cool to say with those millennial writers they keep hiring for Resident Evil.
>>739393635I forget how Vergil is basically the Revolver ocelot of the DMC series. Ironic since he has more in common with Liquid personally wise.
you guys are idiots if you seriously believe there will ever be another DMC gamehttps://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/company/business.html>We operate these businesses based on the Single Content Multiple Usage approach, which is one of our central business strategies. With this approach, we use our popular content for more than home video games.

>>739394139>Capcom is just going to use that as an excuse to replace Reuben and make Dante say nasty words the real Dante is too cool to sayThey haven't replaced Ruben for the Crossovers yet, They might be sticking with him, at least for his mocap studio.
>>739394853The hype goes away if you never release a new game
What Devil Arms will they turn in the Remake?
>>739394853They literally namedropped DMC, Ace Attorney and Mega Man as IP's that they want to turn into franchises with regular output like RE, SF and MH
>>739328970DMC 1 remake(or just DMC 1 special edition) or DMC 6
>>739394853just like there would never be another Dragon's Dogma game after the anime came out when DD1 was 7 years old
>>739395686there is a 12 years gap between DD1 and DD2. best you can hope for is a new DMC in 5 years maybe. and then the eternal waiting game will start anew. with Itsuno out of the picture and IP's being hotglued to dedicated directors i highly doubt there will be another DMC in near future.give up. there is no reason for them to keep a name alive with sequels. they literally said so. bad Netflix animes and merchandises will do the trick.
>>739394853>>739396080>there is no reason for them to keep a name alive with sequels. they literally said so. bad Netflix animes and merchandises will do the trickGood point, it's probably the same reason we never got a new Darkstalkers?
>>739396080>they literally said soYou realise that blurb is like 18 years old right. You can look it up in the archives
>>739396214the earliest i can date that back to is 2022. and 2022 was not 18 years ago despite what some time travelers try to tell you
>>739394139To be honest, neither Reuben nor Dan are amazing actors. New blood wouldn't be bad. Especially if the characters were ever to get retooled with more consistent characterisation. Dante was always cheesy, but things went so far into wacky wahoo pizza man territory that you can't convincingly tell any stories with him anymore. You can have cuhrayzee and still have emotionally balanced characters. I think Reuben's best performance was in 3.
>>739395595Nightmare is already a gun/devil arm. I would like shadow to become a spear/lance. Or shadow should give you a piece of equippable equipment that gives you Doopleganger style like how the bangle of time gives you the ability to stop time. Also I would like to use the Nelo Angelo sword or get a piece of equipment that gives me summon swords or trick. Griffon should give the player a extra jump(so a triple jump like 5 Nero) and I guess wing blades similar to bringer knuckles. Got no idea what Phantom would give you/dante. Hyper spray from silent hill 2.I want a giant Marionette boss and a Alastor boss as secret bosses.
>>739396720>To be honest, neither Reuben nor Dan are amazing actorsSo, This is ain't shakespear and they do what is required of them well. I don't wanna see Dan and Ruben replaced by some retard who can only do the anime dub voice.sorry Johnny
>>739396720I wonder if Drew Coombs still got it in him for one last Dante performance.

>>739396897I would like Drew Coombs in a 1 remake but if i'm being honest, it really should be a post game unlock rather than the default.
>>739396080>there is no reason for them to keep a name alive with sequels. they literally said so. bad Netflix animes and merchandises will do the trick.Honestly, I really want someone to make good 1/12 DMC action figures, Street Fighter and Megaman get all the merchandise, very little for DMC
>>739396863I'm just saying, a lot of people could step into these characters. If a remake does happen and it has new actors, I would hope people give 'em a chance before going off the rails. This isn't Shakespeare but I don't get why people who enjoy something wouldn't want it to be better. DMC1 was the first game I ever played, I'm a fan for life. DMC has plenty of holes and I'm fine with it. I do get excited at the prospect of the series being elevated or at least handled by people that give a shit. Of course this is entirely just a hypothetical. Who knows what's happening, if anything. I just hope the gameplay keeps evolving with things. DMC5 enemies were kind of boring to fight against despite having some awesome designs. The environments were also kinda lame. Plenty of room for improvement.>>739396897Probably not, but he does have a very good voice for the character. I'm not sure if he's any better or worse than Reuben. It'd be nice to see him in something. His interviews some years ago made him seem like such a cool dude.
>>739397032I would be happy with that. For me I would prefer Capcom just reusing the original audio from 1 for the remake like the MGS 3 remake mostly did(I think) with some new lines recorded or just the main cause reprising their roles. Thoughts I wouldn't be against new VAs for a 1 remake.>>739397252>Probably not,Big sad :( >but he does have a very good voice for the character. I'm not sure if he's any better or worse than Reuben.I think Reuben and Drew are good for the types of Dantes they are given.>It'd be nice to see him in somethingHow be cool if he got to voice sparda or a new boss in a future game.
>>739397156Didn't Sentinel make some for DMC
>>739399336I wish I had the NECA DMC 1 Dante figure. Or those little tradable DMC 1&2 figures and Revoltech DMC 3 Dante.
Say when Nelo shows up again in a 1 remake, Will his face just be Vergil or will they fully respect the og artists and Just Steal Weskers head model again?
>>739400198Does RE4 remake wesker have a cool face?
>>739400254Wasn't this face literally a meme for a while?
>>739400198>remake>will they fully respect the og artists
>>739400408Don’t remember(brain fried, man) but I see the vision.
>>739399336yes, and the facesculpts were so ugly to me, I had to pass on themplus Dante's pleather jacket tends to flake really badly
>>739351752Ladyfags trying to make sense of Dante's line in DMC1 is a self-defeating argument since Lady wasn't a conceptualized character when DMC1 was made, I'm certain Dante wouldn't say "give regards to my son" in a potential DMC1 remake since now with how the lore went Dante's chances of procreating are very low at this point, Capcom has made him join the ranks of their popular protagonists who never had children.
>>739400889>add the line about his son>they know he has a son but they don't know who the mother is yet>write the character Lady in dmc 3 to be the mother of his son
>>739401447>they know he has a son but they don't know who the mother is yetKayima intended it to be Trish retard and if you hate the idea of Dante knocking up a clone of his mommy, Well so do most of us but it is what Kayima was going for.
>>739401553But he already had a son when he met Trish which is why he specifically said son and not something like "kid" or "child"
>>739401668Pretty sure Dante was just being cocky. Suggesting that him and his descendants will always be there to stop hells forces. He didn't literally mean his Son would stop Mundus in the next 20 years.
>>739401896Not that anon but you're right. I'm shocked by how many people misinterpret that line. Sparda beat Mundus. Mundus resurfaces, and Dante beats him. The joke is that by the time Mundus comes back it'll be his kid's problem instead of Dante's. Simple, cheesy little line. Shippers are crazy.
>>739401668He said his son will fight demons because he's apparently part of a lineage of men who fight demons along with his father.
>>739401896>>739402358>>739402376So you're saying Dante dreamed of having a son and never had one even though he met Lady, who he literally named and she changed her name to what he named him, but they couldn't fuck and have a kid that just never appeared on screen or was ever mentioned. That would mean Dante is gay, yet still mentioning having a son, so he can't be gay or else he wouldn't make that joke because he knows he's gay and would never reproduce so he wouldn't think of that. So then he's shooting blanks or Lady is infertile. The only weird thing is that they never mention their son but in between games all of the other characters already know about their son so it just means that don't dote on him.
>>739393816>timeskip with vergil's grandkids and a soft rebootAt what point is Sparda's blood too diluted to function?
>>739402815Dude why are you bothering to justify this headcannon? Hell I want fucking RE characters to canonically show up in Dante's office but you don't see me writing fanfic to justify it.
>>739402815>So you're saying Dante dreamed of having a sonNo, absolutely nobody said anything of the sort.
>>739402815Pretending to be retarded is the worst way to keep a thread going. Lady wasn't a character in 2001. Dante couldn't have had a child with Lady when DMC1 released because she wasn't a character yet. It was a throwaway little line because Sparda's son kicked Mundus' ass, so Dante's kid would surely do the same. I'm equally retarded for responding to you, The character that DMC1 Dante was could have feasibly developed to have a child someday, but DMC3-4-5 Dante is very different in characterisation. Any dreams of him having a kid with anybody are dead in the water unless the franchise reboots.
>>739403001>Any dreams of him having a kid with anybody are dead in the water unless the franchise rebootsThat or they just retcon shit. Hell Leon's apparently married now so it's not impossible for Dante to get hitched.
If they do remake DMC1, I do hope they do 2 straight after as an outright reimagining, cause it fucking needs it. I don't want them to just skip it and head straight to 3.
>>739402815Dude I ship Dante and Lady pretty hard, but they having a secret child without nobody noticing it for more than 20 years is ridiculous
I don't understand why they didn't greenlight a new game after DMC5SE.
test
>>739403085True, retcons have happened a lot in DMC already. I wish DMC got even half the love RE does from Capcom.
>>739403465I think I remember that the team asked capcom to make DMC5 and not the other way around. I guess no dev in Capcom currently wants to make one.
>>739403551Its easier to make a RE game and they make more money
>>739403849Yeah, no kiddin'.
>>739403001>Dante couldn't have had a child with Lady when DMC1 released because she wasn't a character yet.That doesn't really matter if they decided he had a son. Then they just write the character that had his son. She didn't have to actually be written at that time. So Lady not being written during the first game is irrelevant. They could also make another game and have Lady say to Dante >Hey, you know our son that we had after we met that was already 10-years-old when I was taking care of him by myself because you wanted to keep fighting demons and then you went to go stop Mundus on Mallet Island?Then Dante says>Yeah, I even mentioned our son to Mundus when I defeated him and said our son would defeat him when he came back.Then Lady says>Well, he just defeated Mundus who returned. He's even around the age you were when you first defeated Mundus, isn't that funny?and then Dante says that's cuh razy and shoots a box of pizza that sends the pizza box flying against a wall and all the pizza comes out in slow mo and he grabs a slice while it's in the air and takes a bite.Or the whole game could be about that happening and you play as Dante's son. And they explain that none of them ever mentioned him before because they just happened to not talk about him during the events of 1/2/4/5 (in 3 the son didn't exist yet because that's when Dante met Lady and then they had sex immediately after that game ended) because it just didn't come up besides that 1 line. Then they have the other characters talk about things that happened in the years in between games like Trish says>Remember that one time when your son was 12 and he still thought I was his grandma
>>739404071That's enough, bud. Yeah, it could be justified in a future game if people tried enough. But it ain't gonna happen. It's fucking stupid. They don't have that kind of relationship after 3 games together.
>>739404170>They don't have that kind of relationship after 3 games together.That's just how they love. They both know they have a son together and that's all that matters.
>>739382741god, this game such a let downi cant even imagine how og 3 fans felt after playing it
>>739402848Sons of Sparda are like Black people - one drop rule.
Playing DMC 1. I got raped by the scorpion. Then I got raped by the statue guy. Then I revenge raped the scorpion. Then I got raped by floating skull head guy. Then the big bird and I raped each other. So far the game is alright.
>>739350325Didn't he say he'd like to return to DMC?
>>739404982holy based
>>739396186No? Capcom just believes having more than one fighting game just created competition with yourself in that market.After SF4, MVC3, SFXT, and Street fighter 5, all splitting the "street fighter" player-base. If anything, if they're only gonna have one fighting game, they should bother to put the Dark stalkers, Final fight, rival schools, etc character in Street fighter more.
>>739405685Final fight and Rival school characters would be relatively easy cause they are both in the Street fighter verse. Darkstalkers by contrast are just in some middle ground.
>>739404392>Sons of Sparda are like Black peopleHell I would still play it
>>739351752ALSO Lady's boobs got way bigger the next time she's seen after dmc 3 in dmc 4. Why did that happen? Because she was pregnant with Dante's child. She obviously already went through puberty in 3 so it's not like it was that. The only other way is if she was pregnant and they grew because of producing milk for Dante's son. That was one of their subtle hints that Lady and Dante have a son.
>>739405051Yeah, a few years before DMC5 was even announced even
>>739389243>CrossdressesReminds me when he joked about crossdressing in the original anime kek.>>739392013>best she gets is a single chapter in the 5 prequel novelAnd Dante stole her spotlight in that same chapter. Half of it is an info dump about devil weapons and Lucia wondering if she'll get one someday, the other half is her thinking Dante is so strong for taking out Balrog so easily, since Dante was called to the island because Lucia was too weak to deal with him to begin with.
>>739405818SF5 flirted with the idea that Strider is in the SF universe, fuck it why not dark stalkers. The series already has Jojo inspired physics.
>>739407352Psychics*.
>>739329008sasuga, FPBPModern Capcom have no capacity to make a good new DMC game without Itsuno. Let it rest.
>>739383459They would need to change how the physics feel completely. Make it feel like 4 again because going from 4 to 5 is a similar feel to melee to brawl. It's so floaty like every modern game is now for some reason. Give us the doom treatment and let us change the gamespeed and customizable physics
>>739333132He'd probably remove the style system, have a dodge button that autocancels everything and has iframes out the ass to remove any sense of commitment to an action, up the rank autism by forcing No Damage to get the best rank, add a bunch of redundant weapons that perform the exact same action as the default weapon using the exact same inputs, timings, etc and he'd also find a way to incorporate a ton of QTEs and button mashing.
>>739407736>add a bunch of redundant weapons that perform the exact same action as the default weapon using the exact same inputs, timings, etc and he'd also find a way to incorporate a ton of QTEs and button mashingThis has got to be the worst offender with the Bayonetta games. There's so much needless crap which you could easley replace with like 4 or 5 decent items.
>>739407482Who in the DMC5 team is still at capcom?
>>739392013lucia got screwed over by itsuno following 2 with a genre defining fan favorite masterpiece like 3
>>739407482That some cuck mentality right there. A new director will step up and make a better game than Itsuno
Devil May Cry should move beyond the Sparda bloodline.
>>739410186The last time Capcom put out a good game was DMC5. There's no evidence that anyone else working there has any talent
>>739410215That's like asking Mario to move beyond the Mario Bros.
>>739410382Or Star Wars moving beyond Skywalker?
Why is this shit allowed? I thought he would be at least Indian American.But no he's just some pure jeet here!
>>739403465They made dragons dogma 2, they don't have enough devs for all their franchises
I feel angry
Here's how you fix the Netflix show.>Instead of "US army bad because they kill demons" do something more nuanced.>Like the innocent "Demons" we see aren't demons at all, rather people who evolved in Hell, thus meaning that all demons are pure evil. The whole conflict comes from the White Rabbit and military being unable to see the distinction>Also the US army is bad because they want to use demon power
Here how you fix dmc netflix >Instead of wasting money westoid tranime just make more video games>This goes for every video game tranime adaption
>>739413601>Saaaaaar wenare brahmin pureblood saaaar not Dalit benchodes
>>739413903The whole point is that demons and bad humans are the problem, whilst these "Demons" are more like humans who evolved that way to survive in the Underworld
>>739328970I bought this bullshit...I wonder if I made a mistake.
>>739414557it's like $15 for>2 amazing games (1, 3)>1 really good game (4)>1 alright one (5)>2 dogshit ones (2, the reboot)
>>739405685Why does that matter if all the money is going to them since they made all those games? They think it's bad enough that each game won't have enough players??? I doubt that would happen.
>>739395595Neither Alastor or Ifrit were enemies before you find them so if they add anything new its probably not gonna be something you get from a boss
>>739415803Takes more effort to update several games, anon. Drip feeding the SF3 and Zero cast every game (See street fighter 5 and 6) with some newcomers over a decade takes less effort and makes more money than releasing 3 fighten games within five years.
>>739329008I kneel. Look at what happened to Tekken and Street Fighter. If you enjoy something, hope it doesn't get milked forever like capeshit.
>>739328970>I bought Bayonetta on a whim>I want to buy DMC VBut then I remembered that both have terrible single-player campaigns and that it’s better to play them on PC. I bought Bayonetta on PS4 of all places
It's worth buying DMC on any platform other than PC. It feels pointless to buy it on consoles.
>>739419252ps2
>>739419252All versions of the games on modern systems are fine, the only versions that should be avoided are the original DMC3 PC version by Ubisoft and the PS360 HD Collection
>>739419495You don't get it. DMC is objectively better on PC. >DMC 2Playable thanks to mods that fix almost all the gameplay issues. The game itself is still garbage, but it's more playable>DMC 1It doesn’t need improvements. But the QOL additions make a good experience even better>DMC 3Well, Style Switching was a thing back in 2010. I don’t need to explain much why the PC version is better>DMC 4They backported the game’s previously exclusive Horde Mode. Just like DMC 3 mods, they make the game better>DMC VAlso much better with mods. Even though it doesn’t officially have Special Edition goodies. DmC is the only game where both console versions are objectively better. Just because the hitstop works properly. And especially the DE, which has improvements that the PC version hasn’t seen yet, because the DmC modding community is almost nonexistent
>>739328970why isn't DMC2 in that picture?
The original Devil May Cry is actually pretty restrained compared to what the franchise later became associated with. It's gothic, moody, and stylish, but a lot of the "crazy" stuff is presented relatively straight. Dante has attitude, but he's not constantly doing self-aware anime stunts. The atmosphere owes a lot to its origins as an early prototype for Resident Evil 4, so there's still a survival-horror DNA in there: isolated castle, eerie atmosphere, creepy enemies, uneasy exploration causing tension between fights.Even the over-the-top moments in DMC1 usually feel like cool supernatural action rather than "lol random insanity." Fighting Phantom or Nightmare is dramatic, not meme-y. What was meme-y in the first game was mostly dialogue.Then Devil May Cry 3 basically redefined the public image of the series. That game cranked up Dante's personality, absurd action choreography, anime-style escalation, comedic swagger, and rule of cool directionAnd because DMC3 became the fan-favorite and the template for later games, people retroactively treat that tone as what the franchise always was. It's not a totally different tone from DMC1, it is still the same gothic action foundation, but everything is pushed further. Dante being younger, more cocky, and more reckless fits his character at that point, especially with the rivalry with Vergil and his need to prove himself. The issue is that this version of Dante becomes the one people remember most clearly, so later games start treating it like the default idea of what Devil May Cry is supposed to be.
>>739420257By the time you get to Devil May Cry 4 and especially Devil May Cry 5, the series leans hard into spectacle and self-awareness instead of the quieter horror tone the first game had because fans now expected it. The franchise identity became:hyper-stylish combat + escalating absurdity + Dante being an unhinged showman. The series keeps the increased spectacle but gradually loses more of the original atmosphere and vibe.So when newer fans talk about DMC, they often mean the DMC3-and-after interpretation, not really the original game's tone.DMC1 stands out because it's comparatively grounded. It has this lonely gothic vibe that the later games mostly traded for high-energy anime action. A lot of older fans actually miss that atmosphere or love Devil May Cry 3 mechanically and narratively, but still prefer the tone of Devil May Cry.DMC1 stands out because it has a very specific identity. It's lonely, gothic, restrained, eerie, and vaguely tragic.Dante in that game feels cool because he's contained. He jokes sometimes, but he's still presented like a dangerous supernatural hunter carrying a lot of weight and history. The castle itself feels oppressive and mysterious, and the soundtrack/environment give it this almost dreamlike horror vibe.
>>739420289Later games increasingly treat Dante like a cartoon rockstar superhero. If you started from DMC1, the escalation can feel less like natural evolution and more like the series abandoning part of what made it distinctive.Younger Dante being cockier and more reckless actually works in context. The absurdity feels tied to character development: immature Dante, emotional chaos, rivalry with Vergil, proving himself. So the exaggerated style has a narrative purpose there.But once that version of Dante became the fan-favorite image, the franchise kind of locked into "everything must always be louder and crazier." By Devil May Cry 5, the series is almost celebrating itself as a meme. For some fans that's fun. For others it loses the eerie edge and sincerity the original had.Even visually, DMC1 is gothic horror fantasy, DMC3 is anime-gothic action, and DMC5 is high-budget self-aware spectacle. They almost feel like different subgenres.A lot of people who prefer DMC1 also tend to like things such as the original Resident Evil atmosphere, older gothic action anime, quieter horror aesthetics, and more restrained protagonists because DMC1 still carries that late-90s Capcom mood before everything became ultra-maximalist.The series basically changed genres in public perception without ever officially doing it.What makes DMC1 stand out is that it still behaves like a survival-horror-adjacent action game with a strong atmosphere-first design. The combat is stylish, but it's not trying to constantly outdo itself in spectacle. Even the level design reinforces that isolated haunted place feeling rather than a sequence of set-piece arenas.Once the series hits Devil May Cry 3, the design philosophy shifts more towards expression and momentum: combos, air juggling, taunts, weapon swapping as identity. That naturally pushes everything toward flashiness, because the gameplay rewards exaggeration.
>>739420320By the time you reach Devil May Cry 5, the identity is basically combat as performance, character as spectacle, and story as framing device for fights. So when people think DMC is all crazy all the time, they're usually talking about the combat language that DMC3 established and later perfected, not the tone of DMC1.Dante being younger explains DMC3's energy and makes sense of the shift. The disconnect happens when that version becomes the default expectation and gets retroactively applied backward to DMC1, which was never really built around that same philosophy.If anything, DMC1 feels closer to a gothic action-horror game that just happens to have stylish combat, while the later entries are stylish combat games that happen to have gothic aesthetics layered on top.It's one of those cases where fan culture simplifies a franchise into one identity, even though the actual series evolved pretty sharply across entries.
>>739420257>DMC 1 >groundedIt’s definitely the weirdest game in the trilogy. You solve an Indiana Jones-style puzzle and get teleported to a weird dimension where a Grim Reaper chases you. Dante also poses with his weapon as if it were his dick. The other games are just more overt about what you’re trying to say. But there’s nothing “grounded” about the first one
>>739420257>>739420289>>739420320>>739420350Thank you ChatGPT
>>739420398Grounded comparatively >>739420405I wrote that
>>739414557>I wonder if I made a mistake.the hd collection is bad, those are better emulated
>>739420257>>739420289>>739420320Good shit, anon. You nailed it right on the head. 1 would have spawned an entirely different series had Kamiya and Team Little Devils continued on. Better or worse? Who's to say? But it was undoubtedly distinct. The connection between 3 and 1 takes some liberties and retcons some key elements, however the package is tight. Itsuno and company were lost once they didn't have to adhere to what Kamiya created prior. 4 and 5 are still good games, but they could have almost been anything else. There's a magic in the earlier games, 2 notwithstanding, that is replaced by a different kind of magic in the last two titles.
