It would be fun if DMC and DmC was like what Infinity Ward and Treyarch does with CoD games. 1 DMC, 1 DmC from two differents studios per year, completely unrelated to each other. Man, the more I think about it the more I feel sad. Only easysellers like ASC, CoD, BF gets this kind of treatment...
On topic; I was never a fan of DmC; but since the announcement of DmC I thought rebooting the series and outsourcing it was a great idea to introduce it to more audiences. It means and yells "fresh blood". And then Capcom could implement what is right with the supposed reboot to future games or could even create two separated series running distinctly and ultimately helping each other with further development.
I'm really glad for DmC: DE's existence and if I had a next-gen console I'd "definitely"see what I did there? buy it. But I'm not glad with vanilla DmC as well as Capcom's apathy to it's fans. I think they realized their mistake and I somewhat believe they listen to their fans now since there are things like DmC: DE, DMC4:SE, RE:Remastered, RE:REV2 and so on; but they are late... Too late I might add. They lost so many valuable people like the Keiji Inafune, the very creator of their mascot for gods sake! Shinji Mikami, the creator of their most praised franchise and most praised game ever! And of course Hideki Kamiya, the man we all love here. I wonder why Itsuno still works with Capcom... Not to mention they are suffering great financial crisis now. Capcom probably barely survived it.
If only Capcom did things right... It hurts to imagine how DMC would flourish because it could be so perfect... And it's not just for DMC. It applies to every other franchise they have... Megaman, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, MvC, Onimusha, Okami and so on...
