Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition will determine if DMC5 is made, and with worthy Capcom devs

General Discussion

Yeah Capcom definitely gotta get their shit straight. And yeah it’s not only a Capcom problem. But are ways to still use your smaller series. Character action is a sorta niche genre, like I know people who love Dante and Hayabusa but don’t necessarily play the game seriously. But the style of the games keep them middle ground.

DMC 4 sold 2 mil, and Bayo sold 2 mil being a new IP, of a mid-tier genre(in terms of popularity) with a character that was goofy af.

Capcom could’ve looked and said “you DMC4 sold 2 mil, a new IP of the same genre sold 2 mil. I think we make some $$ with a good 5th installment” but they make DmC lol.

This AAA or bust business model is dumb because it blinds companies from doing stuff like releasing smaller series as digital titles(Capcom got the idea it seems with strider) or making certain series on handheld, or do what Nintendo has been doing and making something that isn’t indie-tier but not full $60 retail-tier and drop it right at $40.

But all I know is Capcom better make DMC5, I know these niggas made some money from RE HD and they got MH to fall back on. Unless all of their resources are working on SFV they can start on DMC5. Because at this point all these niggas got are 3 franchises or 4 I guess since people still fuck with Phoenix Wright

102

Don’t care how it happens, I wanna see this happen in an actual DMC game (no chance in hell tho).

Was Nero ever actually confirmed to be Vergil’s illegitimate child? I thought he just inherited Sparda’s soul or something.

104

He is supposed to have some sort of connection to the Sparda bloodline. The DMC4 novel supposedly hints at him being Vergil’s son.

105

DmC 2 is what ya’ll really want. The dream is dead for DMC5. =]

106

Itsuno will fight for us.

107

Aparently there are also hints of Nero being Vergil’s son on DMC4SE, going by Vergil’s intro cut scene.

108

The only reason why Nero being Vergil son is up for debate is because Capcom fucked up on statements of the time gaps between games. They said DMC4 is 10 years after 3. And in DMC 4 Nero gotta be atleast an late teen or something. So for him to be that old 10 years after DMC3 where Vergil is 19 that must’ve meant Vergil had him when he was like 14 or something or Capcom is just gonna change the time gap for it to make sense.

But he definitely has a Vergil connection due to the Yamato responding to him, and his DT. But yeah one of the dudes in the game straight up said he does have Sparda blood in him

109

I like my reincarnated Sparda idea better and even it’s not particularly good.

110

Nero does carry both Dante’s and Vergil’s colors despite being the “son” of Vergil. I myself wondered if he was going to end up being some Sparda reincarnate but it doesn’t matter. Dante is probably on par if not stronger than Sparda by DMC4. I would have preferred it if Nero was Dante/Vergil’s cousin by means of Sparda having a brother.

111

Yea, Nero having the Blue+Red combo always alluded to him being Sparda to me. A cousin of some type would be cool tho.

This pretty much confirms it no more DmC.

113

Rock Howard has Raging Storm and Rising Tackle. Son to one person, trained by another.

DMC5 is going to happen regardless. It’s a huge franchise for Capcom. Which was never the case for Darkstalkers.

Last year they named it as one of the big franchises they were going to focus on in a financial report. The others IIRC were Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Street Fighter Dead Rising and Lost Planet. Granted, Lost Planet is kind of iffy but the rest are incredibly safe.

Just me I worry about Mega Man (I think something will happen eventually), Sengoku Basara Sumeragi 4 (going to import but I always hope someone has a change of heart at some point) and the fate of Darkstalkers. DMC, not really. LIFE TIP: Capcom likes money and knows they can make it off of Dante. Lol!

DmC 2 honestly I just don’t know. Opinions on the game are really split within Capcom, but I think more people hate it. Japan hates it but that’s a given, they hate almost any video game not made in Japan, even the Batman Arkham games. Them mofos ain’t buying an Xbox One any time soon. They love Avengers movies and Brittany Spears though, but not when we play with what they consider “Their toys’”

The thing about DmC is that it’s almost universally well reviewed by pretty much every English speaking territoty. For Capcom outside of fighting games, that almost never happens.

So honestly I don’t really know if that series will continue or not. It’s a tough call. For the time being, Ninja Theory is busy with the Star Wars Clone Wars Play Set of Disney Infinity 3. I doubt they’d even have time for that for a while.

I like certain things about DmC like it having a cohesive story for one and not all the omega plot holes the main series has. Hell it’s so bare bones you can even use parts of DmC to fill in the blanks even if it’s from an alternate reality. The problems for me was it was too slow and Donte wasn’t Dante and VerNeverWill wasn’t Vergil. I have no interest in playing DmC DE just so I can see Donte grab Kat’s ass as the only extra scene. Strange strange ninja theorists.

With all that said, of course I’m pre-ordering DMC4 SE just because I am a huge fan of the series and want to play it! I’m not really concerned about it’s fate.

I still don’t own a PS4 but I do have a PS3 so I have a PSN account. I’ll probably get a PS4 around Christmas and just leave the game in my cart. But when the holidays come, “THE TIME HAS COME AND SO HAVE I!” ~_^

In the meantime, SOMEONE IN JAPAN MAKE AN ANIME ABOUT THIS BAH GAWD!!!

NO NIGGA.

DmC has about as nonsensical a story as any of the older titles… and it only “reviews well” because most “reviewers” aren’t gamers and have a severe disdain for anything resembling a video game… Hence why Platinum games always get fair-to-middling reviews.

DmC fucking sucks… and so does anyone at Capcom retarded enough to give a game that went wood a THIRD chance to fail.

116

TWO BAGS. Left side mario, right side zelda. What if this was combined with fruit loops and Kung Fury promoting it?

117

The entire series is nonsensical. Unlimited ammo, O’RLY? The story for DmC is linear and doesn’t have the same holes.

DmC - I know what happened to Sparda.

DMC - First he was dead in DMC1, then Capcom became wishy washy about his fate making it so he could be out there somewhere.

DmC - I know when Dante and Vergil seperated as children.

DMC - So let me see if I get this straight. Vergil as a kid was somehow seperated from Dante (DMC3 manga, DMC anime), Eva had Dante alone (DMC anime), or did she have both and try to pass them off as one kid (DMC anime) or maybe Vergil was seperated after that (DMC 3 manga again, UGH…)

DmC - I see a young Dante and Vergil working together.

DMC - Dante and Vergil have their “Jackpot” moment, meaning they worked together. When? In the DMC novel series that DMC3 itself retcons? ROFL that even confused Dante and Vergil’s voice actors. Dan Southworth thought their Jackpot moment meant they went to Vegas before.

DmC - It’s subtle in the game but it’s obvious in the comic that Vergil and Kat had a relationship. They could go with this or not, but you do have a candidate for Kat being Nero’s mom in this world so long as he knocked her up.

DMC - Vergil boned a hooker in the DMC4 novel! That’s Nero’s mom! Okay, this isn’t a hole, it’s just really random and stupid. DMC4 SE isn’t going to tell us from what I hear. At best it will answer why Sanctus comes up with his theory of who Nero’s dad is and that’s it.

There seems to be a pattern within the main series. The odd numbered games give answers (1, 3) while the even numbered games raise questions (2 and 3). At least we are due for an odd numbered game next time. Hopefully they will answer some more questions.

118

WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT STORY IN A GAME LIKE THIS???

Like really? Of all the shit to complain about…

I will never understand this generation.

119

Do you have one ounce of honesty? You do not have any business talking about that game. You clearly give no fucks about facts or information or accuracy.

So shut the fuck up when grown folks talkin.

120

This generation? I’m 40 years old. I’ve been playing video games since Atari 2600. I’m not saying that to stress that I know what I’m talking about, that I’m right or that I’m representing anybody. All I can do is express my opinion, state things I know and have read somewhere and that’s it. Not sure what else you want from the internet.
