Title says it all. If you could make a DMC game in any genre, what would it be?
 
a 3rd person shooter with stealth elements for Lady.

a new summoner get a turn based rpg with open world or metroidvania elements.

DMC x Darkstalkers as a fighting game.

A third and first person(players choice), hack and slash open world rpg with full exploration and travel by vehicle or flight or maybe like a demon horse.
 
I wonder what a final fantasy like turn based dmc would be like

Might be interesting if done right
 
Action RPG akin to Dragon's Dogma maybe, and also possibly a survival horror (imagine being a normal policeman in a mass demonic invasion scenario... gives off Resident Evil vibes).
 
I would love a dmc game set in the demon world, in the style of doom. Where u annihilate demons in a variety of ways and do finishers on them which switch the camera to first person for the animation.
 
DMC originally started as a RE title. I wouldnt mind bringing that back as a one off reimagining similar to Silent Hill Shattered Memories.

DMC as a survival horror game.

Until recently I really wouldn't think an action game should have a spin-off in a different genre. Not because it can't but because it just wouldn't fit but then I played Bayonetta Origins and that's got to be one of the best games of the last 5 years so now I'm more open to the idea. As to what genre? A Viewtiful Joe game, of course.
 
I was fond of Sony's PS2 platformer trio (Jak and Daxter, Rachet and clank, Sly Cooper) as a teen so Id follow suit.

each of these entries mixed genres so id follow suit with a hack and slash/ platformer following Dante or Vergil at age 12.

you could title it "first hunt".
 
A samurai type game set in the demon world and earth where you play as vergil in his teens before the events of 3
