DMC4 sold more than DmC did in its first week also DMC lost more fans then gained them from DmC so its not hard to imagine DMC5 would do better than DmC especially if Capcom didn't rush it
Capcom didn't rush DMC 4. They just don't give a f*ck about the series and were at a creative dead end. They just wanted to milk DMC for some more money. At least Ninja Theory did what was asked of them and actually brought some creative integrity and originality to a franchise that never did anything new or interesting as the years went on. It was pretty much on the verge of stagnation whether you want to admit it or not. DMC 4 might have sold decently but it was a prime example of a series pushed the ringer being shaken down for sequels. Also it was not well received.
It deserves all the grief it got and I don't understand where this sudden change of heart comes from. DMC 4 was like Spider-Man 3, everyone saw/played it but also everyone hated it. It did not live up to the one that came before it especially after it also vastly improved upon a f*ck up. I gurantee you a hypothetical DMC 5 would
NOT be better than DmC and it does get more hate than it deserves. This fanatical fans act like it's the worst game ever made. Are you kidding? That's ridiculous and very silly. This fanbase is very ridiculous. After all, Dante's new haircut caused a sh!tstorm of unnecessary and overly dramatic proportions. It was pretty much inexcusable. I thought the Sonic fans could get ridiculous because at one time they were upset about eye color, thing is though, Sonic fans never decided to file a petition to the White House.
