How different would things be if Kamiya returned?

[mrrandomlulz]

I recently tweeted PG_Kamiya, asking if "Given the oppurtunity, would you collaborate/work with Hideaki Itsuno?"

To which the reply was a simple "No"


Now while I love the heck out of Hideki, it makes you wonder what it would be like if he returned.

Take Bayonetta and replace Bayonetta with Dante and replace the angels with demons. Bam!

Well, the combat would deffinitly prosper but the story wouldn't. DMC wasn't Kamiya's alone, Shinji Mikami's hand is obvious in Dante's personality and the writing.

I feel deja vu over this thread.

That's nothing I've had a conversation with Stanlee XD​

thinking about it seriously, story-wise it would be different as kamiya is more meticulous at world-building. So its more likely he would answers plot-holes/lingering questions and question about how the world works in supplemental materials like journals you find in the game itself.

the only thing is characterization or if he can recapture how cool he made Dante back in DMC1 and whether or not he would care to actually keep the other games etc in canon. Plus he said he wanted to have a new main character in each DMC game so DMC5 might not be about Dante, it could easily be someone else both new and old.
