So... would anyone complain about this?
Yes and No.
I am not completely opposed to having a DMC5, however I have great doubts that I would actually enjoy it, seeing what they did with 4, and quite frankly, I no longer have much of a truely deep-rooted care left for the original series, thanks to being treated by quite a bunch of people of its fanbase with so much disrespect, that it even affected my joy in playing these games. Actually, I honestly do not even want to begin to imagine what the reaction of those fans would be if they announced DMC5, because I fear that it would bring yet another wave of hateful comments towards people like me, who enjoy DmC - and I am just so done with that stuff.
i live to adapt. if DMC5 is what is to come, then i guess i'll have to bend to the whims of capcom and do what they want
OOOOHHH CAPCOM
Why the hell do I have to choose? Why can't I just enjoy both the old and the new series???
Its no longer a choice son.
Pick one or get neither. It is the position that Capcom put this franchise in.
They either pick one or throw the entire series into the dumpster potentially replacing it with something else.
