Just give it up already. DMC ain't coming back for a long time.
However, we still have Final Fantasy XV to play -- I'd say that's more than enough to hold us over until the next big action game comes out.
I keep saying it: these games would come out a lot faster if we'd just downgrade the graphics -- but no, we keep asking for Triple A budgets, making the waits between these games longer and longer -- not to mention, there's fewer people playing these types of games, providing even LESS incentive for developers to make hack n' slashers.

Technically it was a combination of so many things, upset and very loud fans included, that put a bullet in it. I still hope it has the recovery level of it's main characters, I can be devoted for life, but I still need my fix every now and then.

I really hope we get something, but i don't really believe we do. Let me rephrase it: DmC and all consequences that developed from it. Including loud fans. Including haters of original franchise. Including financial troubles of Capcom...etc, etc. :/ Pretty sad. Looks like it ended on Prince of Persia road.

Honestly, when it comes to the next game, I'm extremely freaking curious.
In DMC continuity, Dante as a character has fully matured, he is practically unchallengeable at this point, meaning they would have to pass the torch to Nero or something, which probably wouldn't end well.
In DmC continuity, one of our villains is dead, and the other is a broken shell of a man, wandering hell aimlessly.
Personally, I would either.
A: Do a **** ton of retcons in the original continuity. Preferably just calling DMC2 non-canon, and adjusting a lot that happened in DMC4.
B: Desperate times call for desperate measures, let the series rest for a while. DmC stands as its own story in the one game, and without those retcons, DMC is pretty much complete.

I just want a game bridging the gap between DMC4 and DMC2 where stuff happens and someone dies , Dante loses the plot and unlocks his majin form and goes on a killing spree and after becomes serious and loses his cocky immature party boy side
but i can only dream

I got a bad feeling that we're going have "still nothing" for a good many years yet.
Ah well, I can always go back to older games... or better yet, start my own kickstarter to try to liven up our current barren HNS 'landscape.'

After playing Bayonetta 2 and thinking about DMC the original. I literally give zero s***s about that continuity. DmC is doing something different and it's best if DmC continues the franchise because Bayonetta got the mechanics down in 2 games and shows no signs of stopping.
DMC should stay dead and let Bayonetta take it's place. There is no way DMC can compete with Bayonetta. It's too over the top and it's definitely taking poops on each DMC game's attempts at combat.
DmC should live because it's going in a different direction combat wise and presentation. It has a foundation to be built upon to become an even more phenomenal part of the Devil May Cry name.
The reboot is rightfully justified because of it.
Until I hear of it's sequel, Hellblade, Bloodborne, Final Fantasy XV, Kingdom hearts 2.5, KH3, and Bayonetta 2's multiplayer is what's going to keep me preoccupied.

You can always just replay the games like the rest of us do. Anyway, there's more than enough hack n slash out there to tickle your fancy.

You could just find something else that interests you.
This isn't just the end, its a chance at something new.

While I'm not against a possible DMC5, as other members said before, DMC story is basically complete: Dante is now almost all powerful, his life is stable( as much stable his life can be), he is "married" to Trish, since she is his partner and sidekick and always she will be ( it was like this since the first game DMC1 and Capcom would never dare to change it), Lady became something similar to a business partner/ Dante's manager, Morrison is nowhere to be seen, Enzo disappeared in thin air( ok, he works with Bayo, lol!) , Lucia only appears in an hypothetical future , Vergil is dead for good...Mmmm, I don't know, maybe Capcom would use Nero, but it would be controversial since great number of fans would be displeased, so unless Capcom can make a game equal or superior to Bayonetta, maybe it's a good idea to give DMC some rest until they find a miraculous formula to bring back DMC splendor.
DmC has more hidden potential since it's a new storyline, with a very young Dante discovering what he is and what he can do with his new life.Alright, DmC didn't sold 2 million, but sold somewhere near 1.7 million I suppose?!It's quite nice, for a reboot, but only future( and Capcom's greed) can tell for sure...

Dante's Stalker
"Outrun this!"
I....I.... no... WHAT DID I JUST READ?
I don't know whether to laugh or cry about this.
DMC is not dead, despite fan speculation. Any monkey can see the potential that Capcom have let lay idle on the side. You guys are like conspiracy theorists of the world. Doomsday preachers, y'know? That's what it's coming across to me as. There were lots of members who have (and probably still agree with you) been spouting things like Dante is old and stale and boring and he's all worn out long before DmC was ever announced. And look what happened. Capcom listened to the vocal minority and look what happened.
DmC happened.
Now if you're going to sit here writing all about how the old series is done and dusted and how the reboot is the way to go, I tell you what, it's the biggest load of hogwash I've ever read. Hypocritical much? What, you think NT sucked those ideas out of the air? This is a reboot to an established cult classic franchise. If there was nothing left to milk out of DMC, then where the hell did DmC come from?
They followed the storyline basics of the original and chose to elaborate on certain aspects of it, which the original didn't. That doesn't mean DmC is brand spanking new. So, follow me here in train of thought: if the original series was completely bereft of potential and had nowhere to go, how then did DmC come into being? If the original series was dead, wouldn't that mean DmC is heading down the exact same track, considering it is following but expanding on the already existing universe and concept?
Maybe this is just my way of thinking about it. I like DmC, don't get me wrong, and I love the classic series. I'm not biased and I have no true preference to either. They're both equal in certain parts from my point of view. So when I see someone say the original series is complete, it makes me wonder, well does that mean DmC will only have four instalments as well, then? Will it end with another controversial game that make Capcom go, whoops, we kinda cornered ourselves here again fellas? I just.... this whole idea of DMC being done and DmC being the future just doesn't compute in my head, sorry. Both have tons of potential, not one more than the other. /end rant
On topic: Bayonetta 2 would tide me over for a while. I still need to play Bayonetta through on all difficulty levels, AND the same goes for DmC.

Uh no, that's Capcom's fault for not being talented or savy enough to think of a better Dante then what DMC4 delivered. If Dante's not good, then what's the point?

DmC driven it's story in the corner in it's first literation. 1. If demons retain their power outside of Limbo, humanity is done for. Nothing Dante can do about it. 2. If they didn't retain their power, humans can clear them on their own without Dante's help. Making him pretty much all-powerfull in the same manner original Dante was. As such DmC is about as finished as DMC. They need to pull some fresh ideas for both, which can be possible if not for Capcom's money policy. Since thanks to it, we probably won't see another installment in nearest future.

Unfortunately, Capcom is a bad story writer. All they need was to make a basic story, but even so they turned it in a convoluted one.One of these days I've asked a friend of mine who is a writer if it was possible to rewrite DMC story in a way it could make clear sense.He answered: " Yes, it is possible to retell some parts, shed light in some facts and all, but I'm afraid it's not worth of it, since you will always get backlash for whatever and Capcom is giving a d*mn about their own thing, which is sad".
Ironically DMC4 Material collection book had some scrapped ideas which could give DMC an interesting twisting in it's story, but Capcom (again) feared backlash, so we got that half *ssed story in DMC4 we know so well.Even that pseudo whatever DMC4 novel tried to explain whatever is supposed to happen in DMC4, thing the own game is "forbidden" to explain.( Ironically, in that pachinko game we can found scenes which seem to belong to an initial DMC4, but eventually got cut out.).
Nero would have his devil bringer explained, but it was edited;Lady would have her presence justified, but it was cut;probably we would had a flashback where we would see, even briefly, Vergil, but it was scrapped; and more and more.So what could be a very interesting DMC entry, it turn out to be a poorer version of it.
It doesn't help either the first DMC established a lot of things nobody in Capcom will ever dare to alter:
Vergil was already dead,Trish is now and forever Dante's ...uh..whatever, Dante would never uses Sparda again, etc....
Even if Capcom produces a lot of prequels, we know how Dante's future will come to be.
Concluding, is it possible to do a DMC5? Sure, why not?But it will be exciting?Knowing Capcom?No, we will be luck enough to have Dante and Trish running around, practically alone( except for some enemies to fight) doing a bad explained mission.
