I would just like to put in my two cents on something.
I, for one don't even want a DMC5, but it's not because of the story (though it's one of the reasons but not the main one), it's not about the character, it's because I'm afraid that the original series might die painfully by being milked to death or not selling well like they used to. I mean, if you guys see how the DBZ franchise is doing in its current state, you would clearly understand. If DMC4 did so well by everyone liking it and didn't complain about the story, don'tchu think we would've been playing a DMC5 now instead of DmC? Think about that!
I also agree with some people that no one really asked for DmC, BUT they asked for something new, so this is what they got. Hell, I was also one of the fans who though the original ones were starting to get stale after DMC4. Do I think DmC is the best Devil May Cry game? Not really, as much as I love it. IMO, DMC3>DmC>DMC1>DMC4>DMC2.
So anyways, yeah I hope this is true about the sequel.
