Pain and pleasure... I've got it all.
Sure, but it'll have to be INCREDIBLE to get me to do it at full price.
I'll vote assuming it is even though i doubt it would be in reality.

That's prejudice. Just because they got into DMC through DmC, they can't vote?
As for me, it's a maybe. Capcom have yet to prove they can make a good DMC game with both quality and quantity. All I ever get out of DMC as a series is a crap story, dull characters that pale in comparison to Dante, unmemorable locations, and a Dante that's either boring, or an annoying douchebag, or in DmC's case both.
But who knows, maybe they'll hire better writers and designers to do a DMC5. So for me, its a maybe.

He's not that bad in the originals. He just changes that's all. That's why I always think of them as different characters just with the same names.
And for me, a maybe too.
He is to me though. His character is so inconsistent with each other. I can understand the transition from 3 to 1, but suddenly 4 he aged backwards, and in 2 he aged even more forward? Now, I don't like DmC's Dante at all, but at least with that Dante, he actually HAD a consistent character. Sure he started out as a boring, stereotypical wanna be bad boy, but at least his character changed into wanting to do something about the demons instead of just doing whatever.
If you didn't know what DMC was until DmC appeared then i dont think ur qualified for the poll.
DMC had four games. If you missed all four of them and only got to know if it because of DmC, then i dont need to consider you a DMC fan on same level as others.
EDIT:
And i havent excluded DmC fans from this thread. I said just to comment instead of voting.
That's what I mean by viewing them as different characters, they're never the same. With the timeline thing it's because they did a reboot/prequel after DMC2 with DMC3, fans liked that version of him and they stuck with it in DMC4, rather than keeping consistent by bringing back more of his mature side from DMC1.
And I don't think they did nothing. Dante's goal is stopping demons. DmC's good since it developed more stuff behind why and what could lead him to go into the demon hunting business. But it's like I said in the past, of the original Dantes, DMC1 is my favorite, even if that game is dated now by today's standards. After 2, it got too show off and over the top at times. Still fun but it is different.
Level? Now there's a level to being a DMC fan? I thought all who enjoyed Devil May Cry as a whole were fans, not "you're a fan but there's higher a anarchy of fans".
First, DMC is a capcom copyright franchise. They don't have to prove anything cuz they own the franchise and they can do hell with it. If you want your own DMC game, produce it yourself and stop blaming capcom for your distaste on the franchise.
Bitch please.

It's Capcom's fault for not delivering up on making DMC a truly great game series. I'm just making note of it. no big deal.
Bitch please.
Don't call me a bitch just cause you can't take my criticism.
i will only pre-order it if i see something that is supercool, like if bloody palace had more arenas or if there were more costumes available. or if i pre-order i could get super dante or start out with more moves. maybe even if it came with extra concept art in the art gallery. other than that, i'll do what i usually do and wait for the game to drop a few bucks ($5-10 maybe)
I'm a fan of DmC, but been playing DMC ever since 1 came out.
Anyway, if DMC5 came out, it would be a preorder for me because I'd want to get it on release day, plus I hope there'd be bonuses for preordering. So, that's what I voted for.
Besides, it wouldn't be $60 where I am...more like £35-£40 which is reasonable for a new game.
I think I'd buy it only once the price got a bit down, but that's because I am quite broke, sadly... In this period I have to spend my money in different things sadly.
I say that now, before anyone may think that what I'm going to say next is caused by a biased perspective of a DmC fan.
I think that excluding fans who got to know the franchise from DmC is really unrespectful. Even more so if it is justified by saying that you don't consider them fans at the same level of "older" fans. Being a fan is not a matter of merit, nor of years spent playing a game. Being a fan is simply a matter of loving a franchise, no matter how one comes to love it.
If so, then I should never listen to what my best friend says about, for example, Game of Thrones, simply because she came to know those fandoms later, and through the tv series instead of reading the books first. Or I should never be entitled to speak about those games because I do not know the gameplay mechanics to their depth.
This is a free forum, that is designed to be open for free discussion (obviously, until is conducted in a respectful manner). No one here is more entitled than others to express his opinion on a matter, provided that he does so in a respectful manner.
So I would really like you give me a really good explanation of why a DmC fan's opinion in this matter is not relevant, an explanation that does not include judgements of "lower" and "higher" levels of being a fan.
What if a DmC fan says he would buy DMC5 at pre-order price? Would it not be a signal that, although he got to know it "only" because of DmC, still the DMC series really struck a chord in him? That he really liked it? Is he not a fan like all the others, since this is a signal he came to love the DMC series, like all DMC fans do?
I am sorry for this wall of text, guys, but I didn't appreciate at all Incarnated's post, and I thought I should give an explanation. That said, I do not want to start a flamewar, and I hope my post does not come out as too offensive. I respect you, Incarnated, as a person and a fan, but those words you said... I didn't like them at all. Sorry. I find them quite lacking in respect.
I came to knew DMC some years ago, and fell in love with the game. I played DMC1, 3 and 4 in rapid succession, and I felt I couldn't get enough of them. I had been a hater of DmC before it came out. I then changed my mind, but I still think that DMC is a great game. I have always respected those who were willing to engage in civilised discussion in this forum, and I have great respect for DMC fans who don't like DmC. Some of my favorite posters here are DMC fans. And I think I always tried to be civilised and respectful in my discussions here, and tried to praise both series each for their merits.

The fanatical side is inured by criticism aimed at DMC but, it's all fine and dandy to bash and insult the new game.
Hey, get your head out of your butt so you can actually see what you're typing.
I apologize. Things came out wrong.
Why the poll isnt for the fans who became fans after DmC is because DmC fans were never attatched to DMC games or characters prior to DmC announcement or release.
Therefor they did not go through same thing as a DMC fan.
A DmC fan who enjoyed DmC or is for DmC, isnt right person to ask. Because DmC fans (speaking of DmC fans only now) never went through the thing that a DMC fan did.
DMC fan had something they like rebooted.
Dante was rebooted
Even the gameplay was changed up
Hence my poll is directed at DMC fans who have gone through reboot, and asking if they would still support Capcom after what they did to DMC i.e reboot it into DmC.
Whats even more excluding is that the poll is meant only to be answered by people who are fans of DMC only.
When i think about it the poll isnt meant to be answered by a DmC fan, or a fan of DmC + DMC, only by a DMC fan.
It's not about exclusion. Its to see if DMC fans and again DMC fans only, not a fan of both DmC and DMC, would still support Capcom after the reboot.

i am a strange case. i had already played DMC3 and DMC4 but haven't played DMC1 or 2. I became aware of DmC just as i was getting into devil may cry. so am i unqualified to vote?
does that mean i have to hate DmC? i mean, i don't like it as much as the classics but i don't think we should burn it with the fires of hell either. oh the conflict
