Not entirely sure we are on the same page here.
I just said them continuing/fixing the old series would have been a bigger feather in their cap because it is the harder task than rebooting it.
I dont think its that hard to bring in angels or other creatures into mix given that Dante is a demon/monster hunter by trade. I'm pretty sure he's not gonna refuse a job hunting werewolves or something.
The world of DMC isnt developed and we have no knowledge of it so you could easily introduce Limbo city easily.
On topic- I'd suggest giving Dante a mission that requires his presence and a enemy that he is personally invested in bringing down.
...........................................................Yeah your right.......were not on the same page.
With 4 games in.....fixing up DMC's story seems a rather very difficult tasks and plus the original DMC team was busy with Dragon's Dogma and having NT continue the original storyline wouldn't be much of a bright idea.....they could've easily make an error or f-up big time.
Its like those comic book reboots....they're rebooted because the company wants to redo a series for any particular reason and usually hire a new author to retell the story to avoid it being like the previous plot line and defeating the purpose of the reboot.
The DMC is well rather developed...DMC1 introduced the overall mythos and concept, DMC2 added to it by including sorcerers, other demon kings, the Arcanas, the fact more devil hunters exist, and Dumary Island, DMC3 added more background to DMC1, and DMC4 well did what DMC2 did but introduced a new character.
Plus what can they do with DMC......like someone said..DMC1 was the middle, DMC2 was the end, and DMC3 was the beginning of Dante's story and any logic video game developer would've ended DMC there with DMC3 but Capcom didn't but they did do something smart like introduce a new character and focus on him instead(Nero & DMC4).
Reason why DMC2 was the end because by DMC2 Dante has become the legendary devil hunter and have surpassed his father(so says everyone else). Meaning a DMC about Dante after DMC2 wouldn't work cause Dante would be well too OP for the sake of the story unless if they want to bring in a stronger opponent like who can surpass Mundus and Argosax's power....Sparda??? DMC3 was Dante's origin stories of how he became the Devil Hunter of DMC1.
DMC1 Hideki Kamiya's prized work and original concept...okay maybe not original but the ground work was the starting ground and foundation for 2 & 3 for Dante's tale while 4 was more for Nero but due to fan demand we gotta add Dante into the mix.
Yeah the main reason why Capcom wanted the reboot was probably that they weren't proud of the direction of original DMC series and wanted to redo it but they still have intentions to continue the original series they started.
The main purpose of DmC is to like they said open up a new door so they can branch out the series.
Plus any future DMC game should be about Nero they introduced him and didn't even develop much about his background outside a hint he is connected to Sparda and his gameplay felt well incomplete like it was playing as DMC1/2 Dante.
