Don't know for you guys, but 1 of my wishes is to see Human ( Man not Lady ) Devil Hunter in next DMC i mean probably in whole World exist 1 Man who hunt Devils and Monsters aside Dante, Lady and Trish ! 2m tall, black hair, and he not have devil Arms or other Bull...T, just use brut strenght and brain like Batman, with some Swords like Katana or something like main guy in Assasins Creed ( small daggers ), secondary Desert Eagle modified gun with Special bullets ! Its my opinion....

I say Nero because even though I like Dante more they need to do something with him. I say make it about him, but tie in the events of DMC2 into it in order to bring the series together. I want a squeal to 2, but I feel like they need to establish a connection between all the games first since the story makes no sense.

If DMC5 will be another prequel, I assure you DMC6, DMC7 and DMC8 will be prequels as well. The games are just being created behind DMC2's story.

I know there are major ties left loose, but we've been having two prequels already. It's time to move on with the story. There could be expansion packs with stories of Sparda, Vergil and Nero without having to do DMC5 a prequel.
 
I believe in DMC , characters are given more priority than plots. Seems like characters came first than plot.Which explains the gaps in series. So far characters that have been appreciated are in poll. I think plot would be the least in creator's minds. However DMC3 was the best plot about dante. His characterisation was jus perfect, from attitude to combat skills - pure skills.

But really hate wat they did to vergil. A decent plot that can tie these characters should be a good plot for the next game.

Dante is the best character i have played in all games(DMC3). So next game better have him hunting demons.

But the story makes no sense as is. That's why I want to game set in between 4 and 2 to tie it all together then move on with squeals and only squeals.

The gap in the series is due to lack of decent plots and the lack of balance of character development between primary and secondary characters.

In other simple words, there's a huge gap between Dante and Lady or Dante or Trish, for example. The series is just too much centered on one person. It needs to give more character depth to the other characters, add interesting twists and explain what's been left unexplained.

Sparda, for example, is a total mystery. Most of what he's done has been shrouded in legends and tales. There should be some expansion packs sort of what DMC3:SE was to DMC3, or two playable discs such as was with DMC2, but not making the game redundant and go back the same levels. DMC4 suffered from redundancy, A LOT - one of the many reasons DMC4 was not a complete game in my eyes.

Nero, Vergil and Sparda are main characters that have a lot to tell about what they did and what will have they done till DMC2(excluding Sparda) and a lot to develop for future games to come. Make DMC5 a sequel of DMC2 and explain what happened during those times with expansion packs. Financial benefits are higher, the game regains replayability values and you can make sequels from that point onwards without worrying to put efforts in repairing the story or filling its gaps.
 
^ That is an excellent point, Mr. Spadra! ^_^

^A very interesting and correct perception though it has this tiny screw-up in your whole point : We're talking Crapcom.And it's not just Kobatroll,that's messing up it's the CEOs as well,those employees firing and hiring isn't random,it's tactic to gain money from already well known and established franchieses[in our case DMC] and cheat the employess paying them rubbish.The MonHun studios know that and Keiji knows even better and that's we he takes in the rear too.It's also the trolling of the CEOs since Kobatroll's new game SB3 is looking excellent and is different from the previous of the series by leaps and bounds.SO it's just Kobatroll that's zh1tting with us,it's the company itself.

At this point I could say a lot more,but I'll sum it up : Capcom,the company itself is probably gonna troll us big time,unless we do something,like : as a fanbase community of DMC,let us all send emails to the EU and US branches and tell them that we are quite dissapointed and stuff like that and believe me,Capcom's going o be a lot more buthrt,since their primary market isn't the japanese but the Western one.
 
Thanks Meg and DB...

About Capcom, I can't really add any comment in your post DB, because what's behind the stages of such huge companies and adding the fact games are an industry on their own, It probably wasn't their intention to make the story so much fuc|<ed up as It already is. Money weighs more than creativity and It can buy ideas. It's kind of sad because Devil May Cry, in the right hands, could be one of the most successful game franchises ever to grace the gaming industry. The potential It has is just enormous. I've personally ran personal ideas about a game concept and from my amateurish experience I was just blown away, literally.

I'm talking in a gamer's perspective, and not just a casual gamer, but a devoted Devil May Cry fan which knows stuff that aren't common knowledge - a DMC guru, you could say.

Only high-ranking persons in such companies know the next moves. We just play what we're thrown at.

^DOn't say that.We are not just the "poeple" waiting for an artist's next picture.

I don't mean to say that what you have posted is wrong,but quite the opposite.Fact is,there are capable hands in Capcom and tehy are really willing to take time and care for the fanbase,the CEOs just follow the whole Namdai procedure :

So how can we make more money?Fire the high demand employees with some pretext and hire or use some already capable ones and we will pay them nothing.Also we won't bring [many] new and daring IPs because they will cost more money than already established Ips and game franchises.

Why do you think Megaman took a turn to the dumpster ever since Megaman ZX Advent?The old Megaman team was nearly kicked out and part of it was brocken and now the leader is working on Dead Rising.As for the Megaman series?They have been Zh1t ever since.And it's not just that series.All in all I blame Namdai and their influence on Capcom during most of those crappy Gundam Vs games.
 
DB has a point. There are people who care about us. It's just the stupid people far outweigh the smart ones.
 
The procedure doesn't matter.

The bottom line is that If they'd actually pay attention to what us fans criticize about the series, they wouldn't make such sh1tty approaches. CEO-s can change If these capable hands boycott the gaming industry and send a strong message that games need more quality than eye-candy and quantity.

I only hope that Devil May Cry 5 will be something mindblowing to proportions of what DMC3 was when It was released.
 
^That's why I put this up.Because it's the same way with Namdai studios and now it's gone to Capcom studios too.Namdai just doesn't listen the fanbase...liketey ever cared after Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Rebirth.So if nobody of us wants Capcom to really become another Namdai,I say procedure matters a bit and we have to show them...should I make a topic about that whole email bussiness I was talking about?

PS : Fortunately Namdai has two independent studios,Cyberconnect2 and Banpresto that make excellent games and damn well listen to the fans.Too bad they have control only over their games and not the rest.[.hack mangas and anime have many major screw-ups with random Namdai people overseeing them...screwheads.]
 
DMC3 wasn't mindblowing. It was just another DMC for me. DMC1 is the only truly good one, IMO. The others just seem rather rubbish.

DMC5 needs to go back to DMC1's gothic roots.
 
You can send 1.000.000 e-mails and I assure you they'll all be deleted without even being attempted at being read from Capcom.

It's a shame, yes, but I'm afraid fans can only make virtual petitions and that's as far as we can go.

The talented hands are the ones which should boycott the gaming industry, because even with making independent studios doesn't make them any better than the main companies. They will slowly shift to the likes of the big dogs and make decisions without asking any fan.

Boycotting It will hurt the bank accounts of the CEO-s and deliver a strong message at them, that without them, they wouldn't have so many zeros in their banks.

AND, we're off-topic, WAY OFF-TOPIC. Let's resume the talk about the possible DMC5 protagonist.

Yes, you like DMC1, we get It. It was the first game, not necessarily the best.
 
^Alas...before I go on topic again,I will use the ultimate move,my trump card...we have to go on the Capcom conventions that happen in our countries and start complaining at...

Ah,screw it,they'll throw us out.Goddamn,gaming companies do know the country they have to avoid.

@Dread : Can I you tell me why at visitor message?
 
I have an idea. One of us will infiltrate Capcom and take the place as one of the heads! That way we can have the DMC we all want.
