Nt writing OG canon

Should Nt stick around and write DMC5 in addition to the reboot?

I'm not saying doing the gameplay just the story because capcom doesn't really know what to do with the franchise story-wise. Im just saying given how haphazard the series with the random jumps around the timeline with no reason why and all the half-baked ideas that dont go anywhere.

So there is a need for new blood in that area and rather waste resources getting a new company to do the original you could just have NT write both.

Granted it may not be needed as you could just hire a comic writer or anime/manga writer to fix it but this might be easier as they already know Tameem and nt.

Noooooooooooo thank you while the story for DmC isnt bad it certainly isnt original either the same can be said with the old DMC's i guess but with how everything was it felt nice i honestly think a simple story will work because with DMC story doesnt really matter its all about the gameplay :D
 
^ I want Dante and co. to have a good, well-rounded, well fleshed out meaningful story though. I'm sure you'll agree, He deserves one.

yes i can agree but i dont want the game to be story centered maybe a good story about nero going to help dante in hell, maybe defeat mundas once and for all with appearances from all the lovely female characters ;) and i've noticed a pattern all the odd dmc titles games are super fantastic so following the trend 5 should be amazing and some awesome demon designs (like something from SMT) but before that Capcom releases a DMC timeline fully detailing the characters bio's and backgrounds along with all the demons from 1-4 some concept art from the games and giving us alittle more incite on Sparda and making 2 and 4 fit into the timeline with out making them look like filler
 
I'm all for having a DMC5 that actually does some legitimate storytelling, and I hope Capcom is able to learn something from NT the way they have from Capcom.

I'd say probably the best they could do is a game starring Nero, learning about his actual origins, as well as learning more of Dante's exploits, all the while actually trying to find a way to bring Dante back from Hell, where he was at the end of DMC2, popping some sweet wheelies.

It'd probably be the best way to actually evolve and flesh out the character of Nero, expand on his gameplay a little bit, and possibly let the series end there, to give it a high point to go off on. Or better yet, actually pull a DMC2 and have a full-fledged Nero side and Dante side, where Dante goes through hell, reliving some of his past and letting us learn more about his origins (because f*ck, DMC3 didn't do sh*t in that department, like...at all), while Nero is learning his own, all culminating into Nero busting into Hell to help Dante, and the two fight off the reborn Mundus.

If Ninja Theory is needed to write this, then so be it. Hell, I'd write that for them!

We all know that Nero was just Capcom's last ditch effort to inject some life into the series. He did exactly that, and he kicks ass. But unfortunately, he didn't make sense and didn't have much a backstory to make anyone care.

Also, your Nero and Dante fighting Mundus...genius.
 
Let NT have their story and Capcom have their story. Should Capcom start working a little more on storytelling? Certainly. But if NT writes up a story for DMC5 then they are working on a sequel for something already there. It's like if someone were to tell George Lucas to write up a sequel to the Lord of the Rings... it's not really the same if it isn't the same authors working on it themselves.

... Here's what I think: If Capcom upgrades their MT Framework engine to be able to handle environment changes really well like NT is doing with this game but keeping it at 60fps with incredibly fast gameplay and make a DMC5 probably with a story regarding Sparda or Nero (more background detailed stuff). I would literally pay 100 bucks for that game. Hands down. If they feel like this game should not cost $60 and $100 instead. I would still buy it.

Yeah, he did his job well, but he also backfired a little because they f*cked up telling us his origins, even in the slightest. The most we got was where his demon arm came from (vaguely). The DMC4 novel written by the scenario writer for DMC4 hinted a lot at Vergil being Nero's father somehow, but they never outright said it, and because of that, doubt still remains :/

If Capcom finally gets their head out of their ass, they should be able to realize they are sitting on a potential gold mine, especially with the plot I just randomly thought up just then :p

No, the art is from some person at deviantart I believe. I did the wallpaper though. XD

Everything but the DmC logo, E&I+Rebellion, and the left side (meaning the picture of Dante) was done by me. So like the splatters, the rendering, etc.

Here's the whole thing if you like to see it:

Huh... I must have saved it in smaller size. It's a little bigger than that.

Ah, thank you. I'll do that.
 
I normally get renders and make my own sigs. I wanted to use this one buuut I thought it was a bit outdated.

I must say no. This is because the games that Kamiya made has a key ingredient.
Nonsense.
This is the also the reason why people say DmC doesn't have to be called "Devil may cry". It has too much sense.
Kamiya obviously made Dante before making any kind of plot, and he said from his very own mouth that he intended that Dante would be only in DMC1. The character wasn't made durable enough to be used in the first place for four times in a row without Kamiya's own control. This greatly confused Itsuno and it's too obvious that this resulted in DMC2. Because Itsuno tried to put "sense" into Dante and made a him calm character with some personality that is rather predictable so he could be primed for another series...which sadly lead to a failure because he isn't the creator.
This lead him determined to make Dante unpredictable once again, or "Crazy" which is the element of DMC3 and the nonsense came back. The nonsense is already in the first two missions...I mean that tower, why does it come out in front of Dante's office that he picked with Enzo before the incident? He also added Dante a background that is connected to DMC1, which was a good decision.
But yet again without DMC1's connection Dante became strained again, this was DMC4. The producing team couldn't just make any stories out of him. So they created something out of his brother, that was by luck...had many similarities to Dante. This was Nero, but sadly this ended with loads of more questions because yet again they missed the timing to become serious. This is why it is said the odd numberings of DMC is bad.

4 years after DMC4 someone said We want a good story! let's get out of this mess, and get our ideas fresh! This is Now. DmC.
Because of this Capcom must create DMC5 by themselves and prove it.
 
Who are we to say if they should or shouldn't! Consumers have absolutely no power in telling a gaming company to make this and to make that. Well let me take that back, actually we "kinda" can by buying their games, most companies continue a series by observing the results of the game and how it complies with a different genre of consumers, cough cough "dmc haters" :troll: okay serious mode again, but I hate threads that say "Should NT,Capcom, Platinum, Netherlands, Ubisoft, and other gaming companies continue this series, as I will say again, continuation is based on the very result and sale of the game. So don't ask, just go with the flow and if its not meant to be then hell fine :) Move on to another game, the world is going to come out with something better, Just be patient and wait for it ^-^
 
It seems a bit odd to me to have to call Ninja Theory in every time they can't think of ideas or be creative. Doesn't that take the whole joy out of developing a game? If you can't even make anything interesting to develop so you have to always have someone that is somewhere to help you.

Ninja Theory shouldn't be classed as Capcom's life support machine.
 
The original stories doesn't really need Ninja Theory's help. The story is a complete mess and ridiculous... and the fans like it that way. With possibly the exception of Devil May Cry 4; DMCs story is probably what Capcom wants it to be. Even if Capcom does want to make the original story more coherent; bringing Ninja Theory in would just **** people off. There are a large number of Devil May Cry fans that will from this day forth condemn Ninja Theory for everything they have ever done and will do; whether or not they ever touch a Capcom game again.
