WDYT: DMC to return in a major way!

[Railazel]

But did itsuno really reboot it?

Yes, twice in fact. DMC 2 was the first, DMC 3 was the second. DmC would be the third reboot DMC has experienced, possibly making it the most rebooted series to date.

To explain in further detail, DMC 2 was a reboot because of the change in Dante's character and the fact that nothing of DMC 1(or any of the other games for that matter) is even in there (outside of Trish being a playable character, but she's not in the storyline). Since we don't see a change in Dante into his surprisingly dark and quiet attitude in any part of the series, we can't say for sure that it is a part of the series outside of Itsuno's word saying that it is. For the most part, it just seems to be randomly placed in the franchise. A better term for it would be a filler, but because Dante's personality has changed it goes more along the lines of a reboot since it changes the direction the game was originally going.

As for DMC 3, if you compare it to DMC 1, they almost look the same with some major and minor differences. It was almost as if Itsuno had taken DMC 1 and rearranged so that it was the same story but with minor cosmetic differences. Then there are the gameplay changes to add on to that. Basically, if Vergil wasn't defeated by Mundus in the secret cutscene, this would be a copycat of DMC 1 instead of being a prequel.

If they continued DMC:

An OVA of Sparda, an OVA of Dante and Vergil's life after their mother's death, and an OVA on who Nero truely is.
DMC5 about after DMC2. (There are many possibilities.)
A novel that fills the plot holes.

If they did a sequel with DmC:

A small animation of DmC would be nice.
A bigger enemy from Mundus
Don't make Dante too powerful. (Gives him more room to grow)
DmCsmall scale figures

at this point, I'd rather they continue with DmC....i wanna see them bring the whole Dante/Tony Vergil/Gilver plot...show the evolution of the characters into who they are. And then bring this into what DMC 3 was like (Of course, NT's version) and continue from there. NT can basically rework through all of DMC, filling plotholes and making it their own. I would be okay with that

The only way they can do that is if they either conclude or continue the original series. No company would be dumb enough to leave a franchise unfinished but continue with its parallel. That's just a waste of money.

This IS Capcom we're talking about here. Remember Megaman?

But they can't be that stupid. They have to give DMC a proper conclusion or otherwise it would be a waste of money.

For now, let's hope that Capcom will at least finish DMC. It's not good to quit something you've started. DMC isn't a fanfiction that can be quit because of writers block. If anything I hope they give it one final bang to end it all on a right slaight.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Dante47]

I'd be happy both ways. It be great if a DMC5 and a DmC2 came out together. Neutrality FTW!!!

I don't see any serious way to continue the story of the originals, way too many plotholes to explain.:/ DMC5 would become one big forced plothole-filler or then we would need to have atleast three games, one to explain more about Nero and his past, One that focuses on Dante after the 4th game and One that tells what happened after the second game.

Fixing all these things will lead to a state where DMC series can't make anything new since it's gonna have to explain it's past mistakes.

Or they can just screw everybody over and release another "DMC4" which is part of the original series but doesn't really explain anything.>_<

For everybody's sake I hope they won't continue the original series atleast for now, origiDante's place is now in MvC3 along with Trish and Vergil.

 

[Railazel]

Neutrality FTW!!!

Pick a side, you coward!

That's the reason why they need to make another one.

Uhhh... I don't have have a PS3, so Dante's place is in DMC as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Dante47]

Nah, I'm content liking both series. Unless it turns out DmC sucks, then I'll start holding my breath for DMC5.

Uhhh... I don't have have a PS3, so Dante's place is in DMC as far as I'm concerned.

Wait... you like Devil May Cry, and you don't own Sony's current-gen system? Blasphemy!

That's not neutrality then. Neutrality implies you are on no one's side. Liking both would sudget you are on both sides. What would you call that though? Duality? Unbias? Madness?

Madness?

Then I guess I'm unbiased. I'm not going to start singing DmC's praises until it's out, but I will talk about what I like so far.

Unlike Kingdom hearts or AC, DMC doesn't have a overarching storyline that it has to complete so its not that hard to end the series at any point.

i think it is possible to wrap up most of the loose ends in DMC5 because only a few of them need indepth answering. I dont need a 5 hour cutscene to tell me why Dante's amulet looks different between 3 and 1. That could be solve with 10 seconds of witty dialogue.

how many of these plot holes deserve in-depth explanation or werent just goofs? Plus you could just answer most of the plot-holes by just putting in a section in a artbook

thats two games not three as nero's parentage and Dante's misadventures after 4 could be filled in one game because their is such a thing as subplots in a story.

the only thing i need to know is who his parents are or how he got the arm so flashing back to that incident and having nero deal with that life-changing moment could be a good excuse for a tutorial.

He gotta relearn how to fight and figure out his new abilities somehow right so make that the tutorial. Its just a flashback so have him wake up and the game continues.

we will save 2 for later as we dont need to overload people.

Well that game should be twice as long, so that both Nero and Dante can have atleast 20 missions each or 10 but longer missions. But making a game that "has to" explain the previous game's plot, restricts the actual plot of possible DMC5, because now we must have Nero in it just for the sake of answering a few questions which could have been explained in DMC4 in a cutscene, instead we got this:

And the one after DMC2 isn't very high on my wishlist anyways since we pretty much know that Dante got out of hell and beat the crap out of everyone, now that is novel material... :shifty:

I don't know, remember capcom are elaborate B*stards.
>Bring DMC4 to xbox where noone is familiar with the story, and would have to buy the first three games used and a ps2 just to play them
> DMC:HD Collection

Capcom, you elaborate bastards.

i rather have some of the series unanswered questions answered than another DMC2. We made a mess, we gotta clean it up rather than ignoring it.

You have a good point, now the question is what questions should be answered and what should be left unanswered, and I think that there is no correct answer
