Why I believe we will get a Devil May Cry 1 remake before DMC6

[XELNAGATYLER]

Kamiya's return to Capcom is certainly a surprise, and I believe it only happened because Capcom want a future for the Devil May Cry series but aren't confident in it being done without Itsuno. This leads me to believe Capcom reached out to Kamiya and asked if he'd be interested in directing a Devil May Cry remake, and Kamiya being the type of guy he is, likely said something along the lines of "Only if you let me make Okami 2 first" and Capcom gave the request a thumbs up.

I don't think Kamiya has any interest in characters like Nero, and he has expressed interest in remaking Devil May Cry 1 with modern graphics a few years ago. Capcom also have seen great success with the Resident Evil remakes and I also think it would probably be easier for Capcom to remake DMC1 than create a Devil May Cry 6

Let me know your thoughts.

Despite fan backlash, Itsuno and Capcom as a whole was supportive of NT's take on DmC so it's not like they would force Kamiya to use Nero.

it feels likely but it's just as likely he would just do a new DMC game and not use Nero or the others.

or he could actually like the new additions and do a new game with them.

So a return to DMC is likely but what it would look like is anyone's guess.

On Twitter, Kamiya also talked about building up new creators with the new iteration of Team Clovers. So its possible the new director of DMC6 might come from the DMCR dev team.

I am all for a return to dante and vergil under kamiya with no nero

I've said this before, but the early days of Dante and Trish's partnership would be prime retail for Kamiya to explore his vision of a Dante that is closer in vibe to DMC1 without having to deal with all the later stuff.

Just keep the combat and styles

Nero sucks and became even worse in 5 imo

I'm curious what Kamiya's take on DMC2 would've been like.

So letting Kamiya do his own sequel would be cool.

they could follow @Lain's lead and let both versions happen.

Lets hope all of us don't end up with egg on our face if kamiya ends up doing nothing with DMC.

I'm not taking seriously, it's just fun to think about.

I'm just hoping for more DMC content.
