Of course. But just to clear the fog, i know DMC is a gameplay type. That's another reason that makes me not get DmC. If the story of DMC serie is a wreck.Of those three, yes, Devil May Cry is indeed more story based, but your above post seemed to imply that Devil May Cry is a story type of game and then you later said it is a gameplay type of game, so you can understand my confusion.
Why not juse use the gameplay but create a completely new story and characters? That's what Ubisoft did with Prince of Persia and Assassin's Creed transition.
Think about it, if Capcom cared about us fans - they would have made the Megaman that was cancelled. Or they would have made DMC 2, 3 and 4 with a great story before they released it. Money and laziness. That's what's stopping innovation.
