DMC3 disagrees with you.
All it was is a mediocre story that was an alternative version of how Vergil died. And most of scenes weren't decent dialogues but careless scenes where Dante mocked demons.
DMC doesn't need Kamiya.
For a prequal that is about Vergil and Dante's past it does. Unless you can prove that Hideki Kamiya had no involvement with DMC 1 story then your statement is a empty one.
But that aside there is a point to making a prequel in this universe, by making i mean the DmC that's coming out now, it can be the new cannon a different universe. Not only that but it wouldn't need prequels or to backtrack going forward depending on how it's all explained. DmC could explain everything DMC didn't and do it far better without needing to backtrack as new games a new iteration releases like the old series did.
I find it hard to understand your message here.
People might be interested in Dante and Vergil's but there is no longer any point in going back. they could've explained it in DMC3 but didn't actually do so. If by chance they do go back what could they do exactly? Teenage dante? that's being done now, oh and mind you a teenage dante wouldn't have a DT due to cannon. There's nothing capcom can do in the gaming universe to explain that history. They could release a novel though....
There is a point in going back. By doing so DMC fans will get to see Dante and Vergil at age between 13-15. As for teenage Dante comment, that's DmC Dante. He's just a character that has been built based on Dante.
DT has a part in story and gameplay. From a story aspect it significant is that it's Dante's demonic blood changing his outer look. From a gameplay perspective it's a gameplay thing that boosts your attacks but at same time changing Dante's look as seen in story.
And Dante said in DMC 1 "Even as child i had demon powers".
Whether it's pointless is just your opinion really, and why do you suggest a novel? What's so wrong if for example next 3 years Capcom releases "DMC: The past" and "DmC 2"?
Now if you by chance decide to go back and do a game involving sparda, which would be a brilliant idea normally, you would still have problems in the form of IT WONT BE ABOUT DANTE FOR SOMETIME. Then there the romance cliche which of course is going to be thrown in and still no explanation on the vergil dante history. This idea would be good but it wouldn't have dante and might need more then one game to pull off.
When the story isn't about Dante then you can play as Sparda. The story about Eva and Sparda being cliche is your opinion really, no need to say it as if it's a fact.
So in the end the people who want the history between vergil and dante can not have it in the form of a game. That would due to a dumbed down gameplay and just going backwards in the character development chart...... which i will speak off some other time now i need to fap
That's your opinion. It has great potential story wise. And gameplay wise it can be very good if Capcom thinks outside of the box.
I mean what's wrong with playing as a 14 year old Vergil or Dante? We are talking about kids not adults, so you don't have think "Well he won't have Yamato" etc.
