If anyone understood that the game literally takes place right after DMC4, in an interview even Hideaki Itsuno stated that the game is a direct sequel to DMC 4 so why are people assuming that the game is after 2?
And thats all really about it, I understand due to the graphical changes and that Capcom went for a more photorealistic approach with the game but its downright bad that people are literally shoving this "false statement" down the throats of others and claiming it as fact even though the confirmation is literally right there in front of themThat’s something that’s been made more aware to people now.
I’d say a combination of wishful thinking that it was set after 2 so we knew what happened to Dante (since the cliffhanger ending) and probably just people assuming it must’ve been after 2 since we all know that’s the last game in the series chronologically (therefore an older Dante) and Dante looking pretty old in 5’s trailer.
Not much else to it, really.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. There's no way he looks younger than he does in 2.If it is a direct sequel to 4, then I think it's safe to say 2 has been stricken from continuity given Dante in 2 is not an old man.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. There's no way he looks younger than he does in 2.
3, 1, 4, 5... and probably a remake of 2 where Dante just goes full throttle in the depths of hell.
Oh... so kind of like the RE2 remake then.
I would be surprised if they acknowledge 2 at all really.
It would certainly give a valid reason as to why Nero would be fighting the invasion on his own.Compromise, what if the game is set after 4, but starts DURING the events of 2? Hear me out, maybe while Dante was fighting Arius and Argosax, Nero was off on his own little adventure, and Dante joins in later?
Let me dream people!
