The game still doesn't show it. Dante's not the only one who can drive a motorcycle. That could have been Trish for all we know (she's his partner after all).
Not necessarily. Also, it would be a golden opportunity to make really interesting scenery and level design, showing Hell in all its "layers", drawing inspiration to Divine Comedy directly, but mixing it with the DMC universe design.
And massive potential for bosses also. It's Hell after all, where all kind of demons live.
As far as story goes, it could be a really cool tale, showing Sparda as Mundus' right hand first, and then gradually his falling in love (with all the consequences it brings) and his rebellion, followed by a massive battle against Mundus' army. That'd be epic as hell to actually see instead of just being told through exposition, dude.
Like Vergil's Downfall? Maybe, and I'd take it. I liked VD.
Not really, no. DMC3 was about sibling rivalry. A sequel like that would be about a father/son relationship. Also with Dante in the middle, we could get to see how he would behave while dealing with his rivaling relationship with Vergil and his "mentor"/devil hunter ally/colleague relationship with Nero.
It's not that any game featuring Vergil is bound to be a DMC3 clone LOL
As I said, possibilities possibilities possibilities. Capcom just needs to get their **** together and focus. But like @Vergilius, I'm pretty negative towards them right now.

I just want a game that's centered around Vergil.
After that, then we can focus on Sparda. I think the evil twin takes priority here.

I got the feeling that Capcom will always use Vergil as a "backup plan" instead of a main character for a game. Like, they need quick money? Boom, rerelease with him in it cause fan favorite!
They did it with DMC3, they kinda did it with DmC (probably hoping the DLC would sell for the name alone), and they're doing it for DMC4.

you know by that logic DmC is waste of time as well. Demons flooded the world. Do they still pose danger? Well than world is destroyed anyway, unless Dante can fly around globe like superman. They don't? Well nobody needs him than :/
Isn't Trish his Ex-Partner. and Having her appear at the end of DMC2 makes no sense at all.
I never said that any game featuring Vergil is bound to be a DMC3 clone. I said the idea of a game with the central theme being the relationship between Nero and Vergil sounds like a DMC3. but the way you described it it has a DMC2 or DMC1 feel to it.
I mean DMC2 Nero would be like Lucia, Dante is Dante and Vergil is like Arius.
DMC1 Nero is like Trish, Dante is Dante, and Vergil is Mundus and Credo would be Nelo Angelo.
Yes its hell alright and we will be fighting most of the enemy and bosses that we have already fought in the other games.
Again that is exactly what happened in DmC. Dante was fighting on Vergil's side then he fell in love with Kat and turned against Vergil to protect humanity.
Well i guess then the logical thing to do is to stop continuing both DMC and DmC because both are a waste of time. because by looking at the time between the ending of DMC3 till the end of DMC2 i'd say the world has been flooded with Demons. and there were more Devil Hunters in the DMC universe than in the DmC universe.

Except demons in DMC aren't over flooding the world and apparently posing more danger outside of demon world than in DmC
Oh let's see you are right Demons aren't Posing more danger in DMC. Its the people who want to own demonic powers are.

That really seems a stretch to me. They can still make those relationship different from the previous games.
And besides, that's just a quick idea I spawned at the moment. They can have another take to it. The possibility is still there.
???????????????????????
Why? Because Sparda lived in the past and those demons too? So? They don't necessarily have to have a major role, like being bosses. A cameo (especially Nevan and Beowulf) would be enough.
Instead, what I meant is that they can design other demons, guarding the various "plans" of Hell for example (we know that those plans exist, Berial was the ruler of the Fire Hell for example, they can show us more plans and their rulers) that Sparda has to defeat to make his way towards Mundus.
Seems to me that you're willingly being pretty narrow minded about the matter, for whatever reason. The possibilities to create more DMC games are definitely there.

Yeah right. because you know apparently in DmC where even normal humans can kill them, one street guy makes a difference ….#writing
Oh and in DMC normal humans can't kill demons. So they need one special guy to make a different.
Yes they could. but that is a long stretch shot.
Well I will give you credit for the effort.
No Its because most demons in hell have brothers or sisters.
Oh no no i am not trying to be a narrow minded about the matter. i am just looking at it from a devilish angle

I don't see them officially killing it but just pushing it into the eternal waiting room where FF versus 13 held dibs on.
Look, I just want them to reignite my interest in the franchise again because i came in really digging DMC3 only for the anime to kill it. DMC4/DmC both tried to bring it back but its never came back the way it was.
So i really don't care if its DMC5 or DmC2 or DMC cross "insert game title here".
DmC2 i rather they keep NT even if they have to put it on the backburner. A lot of DMC's problems storywise started when they decided not to keep Kamiya in the loop.
DMC5 i dont really care where they go as long as it has the writer's heart and soul in it. I would mind if they reboot again, going whole hog anime bringing in a big time manga writer or the Persona team and jazz it up.

Yep. That's what called main hero. Something that makes difference from "another generic somebody"
Nah that is boring.
Well then if Dante from DmC is another generic somebody. Then the same thing can be said about Dante from DMC. after all they are one and the same.

Here's a thought: If Capcom kills it, why not take matters in your hands?

Hmmm instead seems to me that given all that you've said earlier, the devilish one is boring :wink:

I'd rather infringe on the copyright, and threaten the families of any lawyers they plan to send my way. That's the Helix Geno Inc. way.
A long long time, I used to hang out at this site. Some of you might know it. When DmC got announced, everyone threw a **** fit. Naturally, as expected, I was completely level headed and neutral. >:3 But I digress, back to the story. Some of us decided, hell why not, let's make our OWN Devil May Cry! Unfortunately, none of us even remotely knew game code....I mean, we couldn't even make a cheap **** metroidvania knockoff. But, we DID have a couple of good artists, and a couple of good writers.
We started putting some ideas together, and we actually had a decent enough concept for a fan webcomic thingy. We got started on some character concept art, storyboards, the works - it was actually really looking good! Unfortunately, the admin of the site was a real brainless tit who didn't keep up with payments for the forum, and ultimately didn't really care to bring them back up. So, the whole thing was abruptly killed off. I don't even know where everyone else is.
Fortunately for you shiny, happy beautiful people, I still have the original concept art and materials. Somewhere...in some crevice in one of my external HDD's, buried under a mountain of fetish porn and dubious financial paper trails. Hence, the option is still on the table. Up to you whether you wanna take it, or if you don't give a **** or don't want to be bothered. Now, if you choose to whine...well, now a small part of you can be blamed for that at least.
EDIT: Okay, seriously, the P-word that denotes urination is now serious censor-worthy...? CHANGE THE RULES!

Except their similarity cuts short on their name. Guess nDante also one and the same with guy from Dante's inferno.
