Don't Let the Fall of America be Your Fall
...Then I have a sh*t ton of expectations. Considering I was a fan of DMC first before DmC, I want the following in a DMC5 if I can wholefully accept the original series again. So here it is;
Environment
None of that anime bullsh*t. I want that full package Castlevania style castle with dark scenery and some actual fear when I step into a castle. I want some actual eerie music to go with it that makes every step we take a horror filled nightmare as the castle becomes more and more infested with demons. I want to have twist and turns that aren't impossibly hard but also challenging and wide to allow us to explore a lot more then we have before. The same goes for other areas besides the castle. Just make it interesting and explorable.
Demons
Don't make the demons look like pretty light shows (DMC4) make the demons actually look terrifying. Make them be ravaging creatures that want blood and will mindlessly kill for it no matter what. Let their appearance reflect that. Make the demons into scary and evil looking creatures and make them all have a unique set of skills to offer to the stage. Basically, don't do what DmC did in terms of variety of attacks, but don't do what DMC4 did and make the demons look stupid. Make demons as evil as they are perceived to be.
Gameplay
If you're gonna use your past games as references, at least do something new with those references. I don't need two more DMC3 copy and paste games. (DMC4 the first) I want the gameplay to take a few things from its past games. bring back the styles that were used in DMC3, bring back the wall running from DMC2-3, make the gameplay look like an art form like DmC, and add in a few new things as well. DmC added inverse rainstorm, a movable camera, better mechanics. It's time for the original games to pick up the slack. DMC5 should strive to use what's been seen before and advance.
Weapon designing
DMC needs to have good weapon designing. the worst for weapon designing I've seen was DMC3. I just found the way the weapons looked so gaudy and too colorful for weapons that belonged to demons. SO I want the weapons to have a bit more variety in the way they're designed and color but keep them actually looking like demon weapons and not fashion accessories on Dante's person.
NO backtracking
Backtracking was something not needed for DMC. Especially DMC4. So no backtracking to the point that we have to run all the way back to where we started. Challenging puzzles, sure, but no bullsh*t like you pulled in DMC4 both with Dante and getting to the actual destination with Nero. Which brings me to another expectation;
NO NERO
That is all. Or at least make him actually cool and not some wanna be punk kid who wants to be like Dante.
And lastly;
Make old Dante cool again.
Honestly Dante stopped being cool once DMC4 came out. He became a parody of himself and lost what made him actually cool again. So I'd like there to be a cool old Dante again like how he was in DMC1. Or at least make his character intresting like it was in DMC1. Hell DMC3 Dante had a cool character so why can't they get it right for DMC4 Dante as well? So I just want a cool old Dante. No super serious DMC2 Dante, no fratboy DMC3 Dante, no cowboy superiority complex DMC4 Dante. Just an actual cool old Dante.
But this is all of my personal wants for DMC5 IF Capcom makes one.
If they confirm a DmC2, I'll make a list for that as well at some point.
