The Future of Devil May Cry?

[I Make The Devils Cry]

I am sure most of you have heard that Capcom is in dire straights right now with a reported 152 million left on them. Sure to the individual this doesn't sound like you'd never consider you're going bankrupt, however to developers and publishers in the video game industry this is getting close to a very bad position (and their emergency plan isn't likely to help either by the way). So, with all of that in mind, it's quite possible, and highly likely they will sell a number of their IP to other developers/publishers so that they can stay afloat, like what THQ had done, which means we may see a number of franchises go to different places now.

Given that Capcom had assigned for Ninja Theory to develop the latest, DmC: Devil May Cry, it is possible that they would continue to develop further games if the IP was purchased by someone who would continue the series in that direction, or it may go back to it's roots, and the reboot may be a one hit wonder and never expanded upon. Well, what do you think; what will happen to Devil May Cry?

I hope NT take DmC: Devil may Cry, and Capcom actually try to make up with P*'s Kamiya and hand the original DMC series to them. I really don't care for the original series, but more so about DmC.

Well... that's it, then.

If Capcom goes under, which I hope they do, the company that most fans want to get Devil May Cry is Platinum Games, they are the only company that can do the IP justice at this point.

In all honesty, if Capcom does happen to go under, I doubt they'd sell Dmc over to NT and I doubt NT would happily oblige. They see the damage things can do and for a company that's in hot water, that would be a dunderhead move on both ends. Either they swallow their pride and give the rights of the characters over to PG or they cut their loses while their ahead and let the franchise die.

My guess is the latter because Cap a d*cks like that sometimes.

what im wondering is if the two DMCs can be sold seperatedly or if you have to buy both to control the iP?

 

[VOLPE]

One i hope capcom doesnt go under its a great franchise and while it has made mistakes it would hurt to see it go and im praying to god that devil may cry doesnt just die

I honestly dont think id survive without dmc i have become to attattched and think of all the other games and series capcom has made it cannot die

NT doesn't seem that unhappy about how DmC did. Sadly, I think the old Devil May Cry will never return. Once Capcom has set its mind to something, they'll probably stick to it. I doubt they'll let Devil May Cry die; they felt the need to reboot/reimagine it, after all. Haven't heard Capcom say anything about being close to the edge, either - they seem alright, at the moment, so let's not put too much stock in some random (possibly biased) websites.

That's a good question. I assumed there were two separate IP's.

True but some people believed, much like Marvel vs Capcom, it could be revived to draw in some dough regardless of what form it's in. But you're probably right. Capcom probably isn't as deep in the gutter as we'd like to think. It would suck to watch them just kick the bucket after all.... Nostalgia is heavy in this one >_<

I don't think they're unhappy at all.

DmC sold the most out of all the games they've made and its not even the end of this year yet so I'd say this opens new doors for them.

Capcom didn't seem very unhappy about how Resident Evil 6 came out (they were disappointed by its sales) but now they seem to be returning to RE survival horror roots despite the action oriented direction they were taken it with RE5, Mercenaries, and RE6.

Maybe its because its not survival horror and a straight up shooter (well it can be survival horror during Leon's campaign but its shooter everywhere else) therefore it is not Resident Evil.
