If that is true, this is my reaction

Anyway, I had thought that due to low sales, DmC was over and done with. This gives me a lot of hope. ^_^
It was the top selling game in Japan on its 1st week. Although it only sold half as many copies in DMC 4 thats not bad considering it was made for to have a western appeal.

Don't get me wrong, but I am certainly praying for them to hire better writers so we don't get as many plotholes. And I'm totally happy that they are doing a sequel.

Yea, for as much as the bad, corny lines (Which I think were on purpose because, you know, THAT'S DEVIL MAY CRY) there was a lot of writing in the game that was very subtle and nuanced. As a writer, I can say there is writing in the game that I can definitely appreciate. I'd certainly pen some things differently but it's not bad.

That's good to hear. I also enjoy writing (but am far from being anything even resembling a ''writer''), so, I also recognize a few of the nuances as well (the speech in one of the last trailers where Vergil tells Dante he has to ''put his complete trust in him'' comes to mind -- a pity it was somewhat marred by the echo effect in the final product).

For the record, I read much more than I write -- however, it's still a fundamental building block when comparing other authors' works to your own.
 
Sequel! Woot! Ha ha, this is gonna be great!

I was hoping it wasn't gonna go the way of Splatterhouse, with a sequel hook and no sequel!

I don't mind this but also want them to make DMC 5. Either way I think this will be on next gen consoles if true although I hope it will be on current gen as I don't want to buy a next gen console just to play a sequel of a reboot if that makes sense.
Sure I'll buy next gen consoles at some point but not right away.
