Nothing new. This is something that pops up every few years.
Things are different now. Before, the idea was a non starter. P+ had left Capcom and freelancing a job like that was a complicated affair. But now, he's making his long awaited sequel. 20 years. A DMC1 remake could, ideally, take a fraction of the time Okami's sequel would take to make. Working with Capcom is no longer some impossible thing, he's doing it right now. Not to mention, they seem to be going trigger happy with remakes.
I don't know that I like this, thought. He's got years of action games under his belt but DMC1 was a special game. There are almost none like it. None of its sequels are. 1 isn't like Bayonetta, either. The tone and style of gameplay are not compatible. Can he really make a faithful adaptation.
