Again, why try something new when the majority didn't ask for that to begin with, and was fine with things as they were? All the past games sold just fine. Capcom's only reason to reboot should have been because the majority didn't like the past games, and didn't spend money on the games.
Like DMC1 going to DMC3? How hypocritical.
That's just factually not the case. All the past games sold well, way better than DmC at that. Furthermore, the fans took the time to buy the HD remakes just to show Capcom the error in their ways to do a reboot. We loved classic DMC, and we loved Classic Dante. Our money was and is still available to Capcom once they give up on this reboot, and get a better company (ideally Platinum games) to make DMC5.
It's quite simple really.
No its not because P* suck when it comes to story, and their gameplay have nothing close to DMC, so f*ck that horrible idea.
