Do you think DMC 2015 is still happening?

[V's patron]

If it happens, its more likely to come out 2016/2017 as that would give whichever developer they get to do it more time to start and develop it.

Outside of business concerns Loopy touched on, the other issue is whatever developers they can get to do a Devil may cry game would want to come and do a game since they might have other priorities or other projects they want to tackle.

I assume Capcom will take the easy way out and just do a DMC5.

I hope one day NT does a DmC2 because I much prefer a more edgier John Constantine-like version of Dante as oppose to the stylish, perfect, super show off Dante of the original series. Quite in fact, I've actually been falling out of love with old Dante and the original series. It all just seems so anime like and I've been watching anime for years now. But now anime to me is becoming so annoying and pretty ridiculous and DMC falls right into that category for me along with Bayonetta.

Who knows what'll happen with the series, but I just hope that if they do make a DMC5, they don't over-saturate it with all the anime bullsh*t like they did with DMC3 and DMC4. I just want a Devil May Cry that's actually got character, style, and coolness again. I know it probably won't be as cool as DmC was for me, but at least it come come close.

I say Capcom should create a super mod of DmC that combines everthing DMC/DmC into one mess of a story and gameplay so wack its brilliant!

Seriously thou. I'd say a DMC5 would please the "fans" but it would leave DmC's story lost and without a concrete end to its story. At this point maybe Capcom should hold off on DMC/DmC and maybe put Dante on Va-K. Bring him back in a couple of years and lets see what can be done than. :thumbsup:

... Va-K?

it would be funny if they ended up doing another reboot

maybe him being more like movie constantine than comic constantine might make more sense cause I dont think Dante could handle being that level of scumbag/trickster.

Capcom give us a ridiculous mod!

I don't care anything for the anime ish(DMC3/DMC4) versions of Dante & Vergil. Normal ish(DMC1/Novel) Dante all day.

In light of DmC's moderate sales numbers, do you still think a new Devil May Cry game is happening by 2015, as originally planned?

2015 is not as farfetched as you might think. Remember that DmC took an entire year for development of design, to pitch Capcom a new look. Subtract that from development and that is how long it will take to make a game of that quality. And with what they've learned from last time they could probably deliver better in the same time sans a year.

- DmC seems to be selling more recently, and has officially outsold DMC3 (whether or not it has sold even more should be known soon).

Oh? What are the sales of DmC now? Has it gone beyond 2.2 mil?

- DmC was an almost universal success in the professional reviews scene

I don't think that is always as big a plus as it sounds. I have a very strong opinion on this but I'll say it for later.

- Capcom has shown willingness to bring popular yet dead franchises back to life with a bang (Strider 2014)

Let's hope they'll stay at it. They are very erratic about this sort of thing.

- The Next Gen might be the perfect time for the Devil May Cry franchise to make a big impact, especially thanks to the well-known PC architecture making development easier!

That's not really a DMC-only argument. That could be said for all companies and their old franchises.

- New DMC by 2015, yet it is 2014 and we haven't even heard of a sequel thus far?

It's not that rare. RE6 got announced the same year as it's release.

- Ninja Theory recently confirmed that they are not currently working on a sequel, which makes a NT-developed Devil May Cry by 2015 very much impossible unless they rush it for a late-2015 release. (However a DmC 2/DMC5 developed by someone else remains a possibility)

Or they could be lying. They are not just going to answer questions honestly just because they got asked.

Chances are that they are not but to just discount the possibility just because they said so isn't necessarily they only possible interpretation.

- The sales of the game have fallen dismally short of either of the sales targets established by Capcom. It is very likely that the DmC project has not been the slightest bit profitable in light of this.

That is dependant of how much they spent on making it. Considering that it was a very international title and they had to pay a foreign company, add an extra year to develop the look of Dante, fly people to the US, then the UK, and back to Japan probably made this the most expensive DMC of all. Previous titles flew the staff to foreign countries to do research, DMC1 went to s Spain, DMC4 I think it was Turkey, but I still think bi-weekly trips across the globe put more of a dent on the budget than that.

I doubt capcom would spend 60 mil in the making of this game, but on the off chance that they did they I think they will just barely be getting their investments worth in the future and not just yet.

- Capcom has shown willingness to allow popular franchises to wither and die for relatively long periods of time (MegaMan).

OniMusha.

- The Next Gen might make a risky move such as a new Devil May Cry even riskier, due to the low install base of the hardware.

Or it could be great for it. Currently most people who own a next gen have very little to do with it, it's a fancy paperweight. People are so desperate for more content they might just give it a chance just to have something to play on their shiny new machine that are not backwards compatible. Advertise it right and you might just get a win.

 

[Bazilican]

I'll just wait to see what happens.

Capcom makes DMC5, then whoopie. If they make DmC2, whoopie again. I really don't care anymore.

 

[mrrandomlulz]

At this point, I think it's gonna be a ****storm regardless of which continuity it's in.

 

[Demi-fiend]

Nah, I don't think anyone'll complain if it's DMC5.

 

[mrrandomlulz]

Nah, I don't think anyone'll complain if it's DMC5.

I'll laugh if it happens.
The skeptics were called whiners and fanboys for not liking the changes made to Dante and not liking the new take. So if I see so much as one person on this forum be mad if they choose DMC5 instead of DmC2.
I'm just gonna be all, "Tables have turned, bitch, tables have turned.

Ok, show of hands, who's going to complain if it's DMC5?

What? No one? Ok.

 

[V's patron]

I think they would complain on what its about more than it being DMC5 since people dont really agree on the direction the franchise should go in.

Some people wanting to fill up the plot and a grander scale adventure while other people wouldn't mind another day at the office or people want more dante while others are sick of him and want a different lead.

But i dont know if it will be another controversy as big as DmC tho and i dont see it really being a hot topic like DmC was.

 

[Deleted member 25469]

I was a considerable detractor of DmC because of the execution of some of its aspects (namely Dante's personality striking me as more insecure teenage try-hard than actually self-assured cool, sexuality being more explicit, charge attack timings not being frame-perfect and in fact quite bad at times, firearm charging working whenever it wants to...)

If they dropped sexuality entirely or toned it down significantly (something I also disliked in the DMC series, the introductory scene for Gloria or Lady's design change in DMC4 make me very uncomfortable) and adjusted the portrayal of characters to be less crass and trashy now that DmC's Dante has grown as a character quite a bit (even towards the end of DmC itself he was considerably less obnoxious), I could take it either way. Unless they either reboot the more japanese Devil May Cry (which I prefer aesthetically and in character portrayal) or find a spectacular way to refresh DMC's story after DMC4, I feel like the old DMC reached a point in which it was going nowhere. I wanted change, but not in the way it was handled.

In fact, I would even prefer the next Devil May Cry to be DmC2 under the assumption that they changed the things I talked about: A more western approach to Devil May Cry, but not as gratuitously sexual and crass. A more elegant DmC, with a slightly more "cowboy" approach to Dante's coolness.

I understand that perhaps this wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but that's how I'd like the future of DmC to be.

I'm pretty sure that whatever the future of DMC is, however, it's not gonna be more DmC. Just a gut feeling. Perhaps a long hiatus and an eventual re-reboot. Long hiatus would make me sad though.

I think it's going to be a long time before we see another Devil May Cry. There were a lot of complaints from fans over every sequel, why should they bring back the original or continue the reboot?

If there is a new game it will most likely be DMC5. With Capcom blaming outsourcing for their problems, I can't see them making DmC2. That might be what they call it, but that's not what it'll be.

What does that mean?

 

[mrrandomlulz]

Personally, I'd prefer if this series took an 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' route and
Stopped focusing on the reboot being so 'edgy'

I mean really, why does a character who used to fight demons with a piece of pizza in his mouth have to be made more realistic and edgy.
That's the one problem I had with Man Of Steels approach
It's okay to take creative liberties until you start taking a **** on the characters foundation
I have a feeling that when I'm older, I'll be like a silver ager
Every character I grew up with will have changed beyond recognition

 

[Goldsickle]

1. Failing to meet sales goals doesn't mean the game didn't profit (same with RE6). Ask anyone who works in the industry and they'll tell you this. Most of the time, anyone who yells "DmC/RE6 failed!" comes from lack of understanding and misleading articles.

2. DmC's one year sales exceeded vanilla DMC3's lifetime sales. It managed to get decent amount of sales despite all the biased hatred dragging it down.


There's a chance that DmC2 can happen but I'm indifferent if DMC5 happened instead.
Anything is okay for me.

 

[Alittleacorn]

Your thoughts?

Not sure really. It could go anywhere at this point. They could wind up doing DMC5, and then they could wind up doing something with a DmC2, or just making a completely new reboot/remake entirely.

I don't see anything coming out in 2015 though, no way.
