Dreams come true, I 100% believe in DMC5 directed by kamiya.

This would be the best year in gaming.

Platinum's very busy though:

-scalebound
-Transformers
-NIer
-Star Fox

 

[Dahbomb]

People need to stop taking Kamiya tweets so seriously.

As if he would leak doing Vergil/Sparda games on fucking twitter...

 

[The Silver]

how do people still get trolled by Kamiya?

 

[Akiller]

There's nothing offensive to Kamiya.

Itsuno is an incredibly talented director that's brought the series to an entire new level. Most importantly, he's an in-house game designer at Capcom. It doesn't make sense for them to outsource the game to them.

Now a Bayo X DMC crossover title? That's a different story.

This.

Bayo X DMC is the way.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

I know people prefer DmC and that's perfectly fine but people need to realize that DmC put the series in jeopardy because of its lackluster sales. It didn't save DMC at all, it just resulted in worse relations between fans and Capcom. NT had to fix so much stuff in DmC DE and then re-release a 7 year old game to restore fan confidence in the series.

Capcom fans should be a little more thankful with the reboot. They decided to give a B-tier franchise another shot. They could have just let it die like V Joe and Megaman.

NT did an amazing job with the game and I hope they do more. As far as I'm concerned DMC was coal that NT made diamonds out of.

 

[AzureFlame]

I believe in TGS. The return of DMC.

Kamiya himself said that two captains will sink a ship, or something to that effect.

Damn i miss those guys!!! It has been 7 years already..

 

[V_Arnold]

Bayonetta's traversal was insanely, INFINITELY more fresh and fun and replayable than DMC4 will ever be. SO yeah, "best DMC team" or not, they could gain a lot by collaborating. And I do not see the danger, at all.

Lol what do you mean let it die? DMC4 sold more than 2 million copies. What do you mean B-tier? DMC is (and still is) considered the king of it's genre, rivaled only by Ninja Gaiden.

There was practically no reason to reboot it.

So no, I'm not thankful for the reboot and if nothing else I want to put it all pass this.

...No, I do not have to be "thankful" for something that quite frankly, didn't have to happen. For one, do not treat it as if it was made out of the kindness of their hearts. Additionally, do not treat it as if any fan has an obligation to accept anything that comes out without question. I reject that ridiculous notion that one has to settle for the bare minimum. I also reject the notion that the DMC franchise was dying and that the "noble crusaders" that were Capcom and NT suddenly appeared and "saved" DMC. Should be a "little more thankful with the reboot", indeed.

Also, DMC was still selling even before the reboot happened, as DMC4 can attest. People were still interested the classic series. Wasn't like it was in danger of dying out, so that whole comparison with V. Joe and Megaman was rather strange. But hey, "Capcom fans should be a little more thankful with the reboot", am I right?

It's alright that you prefer NT and DmC. It's your right and no one can tell you otherwise, but don't play that narrative that the DMC series suddenly got better when NT got involved, because it's simply not true at all.

How can they be working on so many projects?

platinum is hungry

 

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

A shame we never got the true human Sparda like he is in his concept art.

Would be a badass alternate costume.

I think this is supposed to be Ozwell Spencer (back from when DMC1 was going to be RE4), not Sparda.

People need to stop taking Kamiya tweets so seriously.

As if he would leak doing Vergil/Sparda games on fucking twitter...

I have no doubts that he's not working on a DMC right now, but I'm pretty sure this eventually led to Platinum working on Star Fox.

 

[vandalhearts]

Give Dante a beard.

Yes please. Would love to see this happening.

Pardon me, let me stop for a second. Do you have anything to contribute besides trolling? If not, please never post in a DMC-related thread again. Posts like this do nothing but contribute to the hostility between the DMC and DmC camps across the web, and we've had quite enough of that. If you were a DmC fan and had actively participated in discussion of the game, that would be one thing. But you haven't. Next time you decide to post in a DMC-thread, contribute something. Don't even bother replying to this post. I won't care either way.

 

[Dremark]

This.

Maybe they can buy the series from Sega, get Ninja Theory on board and make BayO X DmC.

 

[Blablurn]

its happening isnt it?

Platinum taking over the world at thus rate. Love it.

I'm fairly certain DMC4 outsold DmC so if it was only B-tier franchise it only dropped from their involvement.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I just hope story wise a new entry takes ques from DMC3. 4 was such a step back in the story department that it was pretty disheartening. So much going for it but it didn't have that.

Lol, just because I don't post in these threads I'm a troll? OK

Anyways I'm sorry if my posts angered you or anyone else. I hope you get the DmC you want

He's saying don't post anything if all you're going to do is stir shit like a troll.

That's clearly written in his post.

 

[Son Of D]

DMC4 is the best selling entry and DmC is now the second worst selling entry (DMC2 is now the worst thankfully). So yeah DmC didn't really save it, it just hurt the momentum coming off DMC4.

 

[Imperfected]

How can they be working on so many projects?

They aren't the principal actor on all the projects they're working on. Square-Enix is providing the majority of the labor on NieR 2 from what's been said so far, and while I haven't kept up with Star Fox Zero's development, I would guess Nintendo is similarly doing a lot of the work on that.

Basically, if you're mostly just talking about game designers, they can spread themselves pretty "thin" due to the fact that most of their work is done early in a project's life cycle. As long as Platinum's actual programmers aren't doing the line-by-line work on the game, it doesn't impact their ability to work on other projects as severely as you might think.

(That said, it's probably just Kamiya trolling.)

 

[elelunicy]

That's only true if you can prove that a DMC5 would have outsold DmC. Chances are if they made DMC5 instead it would have sold even less than DmC.

DMC5 wouldn't have sold as much as 4 did that's probably true (4 was a little underwhelming in certain aspects) but to suggest it would sell less than a game that tore the fanbase in half is ridiculous.

 

[Host Samurai]

Oh man, a Bayo X DMC needs to happen at some point. So many parallels between the two of them and given the universes it makes sense.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Is this post for real?

[Sephzilla]

DMC5 would have been an anticipated follow up to a great selling game instead of being a divisive reboot most of the fanbase didn't want.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Are you fucking shitting me. Kamiya back on DMC would make me cream my pants.

I don't want this to happen. I guess it would be okay if he worked with Itsuno.

 

[Hystzen]

Best thing come from all the whole reboot and shit is not fans bickering but the massive revisionist history that DMC4 was a disaster both game wise and sales. It insane after all this time people still lap it up and that the reboot was justified because dmc4 killed the series

 

[hal9001]

The plot thickens.

Kamiya - you say? Next Gen - you say? Devil May Cry- you say? Oh my....

 

[Ushiwaka]

Pshshshs you guys... Itsuno will work on DMC5. Kamiya's tweet clearly shows that he is working on Okami 2.

Spoiler

Capcom pls ;___;

 

[Sephzilla]

Also, put me in the Itsuno > Kamiya camp

 

[ArjanN]

Kamiya hasn't worked on DMC since 2001, that tweet was also a reply to Viewtiful Joe 3 and Okami 2. It's just Kamiya having a bit of fun

Edit: Context

I have no doubts a DMC5 will be made though

Honestly the context makes it pretty obvious he's just kidding around.

I think DMC4SE shows Capcom could just make DMC5 themselves.

I'd take an (unrelated to DMC5) Bayonetta X DMC game rhough.

 

[Mr. X]

DmC sold less than DMC2 before they did the DmC remake.

 

[Imperfected]

DmC sold less than DMC2 before they did the DmC remake.

Though it might be damning with faint praise, I will say that DmC deserves more sales than DMC2 did.

 

[TWILT]

I'm ready for DMC5 by Itsuno anytime.

 

[Coda]

Yeah I'd like Capcom to work on DMC 5 themselves to prove that they can still make an exciting and competent action game. We all know that Platinum is very skilled themselves so we need another company and team to step up to the plate.

 

[Sephzilla]

Though it might be damning with faint praise, I will say that DmC deserves more sales than DMC2 did.

It does. I thought DmC was hot garbage but DMC2 was, well, DMC2

 

[Led_Zeppelin]

If Capcom release DmC 2 instead of DMC5 they are Konami tier of developer and should be put to death. Sorry there is no argument here DmC was worse than DMC4. A game should try to iterate and improve over the previous one and most of the DmC early talk revolved around how much NT were fucking up before the release.

That's only true if you can prove that a DMC5 would have outsold DmC. Chances are if they made DMC5 instead it would have sold even less than DmC.

I don't even have an image to point out how stupid this comment is.

 

[AgentLampshade]

Capcom should just schedule a DMC event and announce DMC5, DmC2, DMC Vs Bayonetta, a Dante and Vergil coat for Dragons Dogma Online and a Red/Blue Orb paper weight.

 

[MrFatCat]

Yesssss!!!!!!!! The time has come Capcom! I don't care if it was made by Kamiya, Itsuno or Hideo Fucking Kojima. Just make it happens!

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Years later, and DmC fans are more full of shit than ever.

 

[G-Fex]

what gives Bionic? Don't be such a animu dante mark.

B-tier franchise? You mean, one of the five top selling franchises for Capcom, and the second or third highest sales per title average for Capcom overall for lifetime sales?

Your opinion is whatever, but your claim about the original series is factually wrong. There's no debate.

That's only true if you can prove that a DMC5 would have outsold DmC. Chances are if they made DMC5 instead it would have sold even less than DmC.

So, you counter conjecture with conjecture? What we have to work with are raw numbers. DMC4's LTD sales vs. DmC's, which are heavily in favor of DMC4's. It's not a 1:1 comparison, but it's certainly better than just saying one would have sold better just because.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Awesome I hope we get some news soon! I get the feeling the DMC5 announcement was bumped from E3.

 

[Rymuth]

I dont have time to play DMC4SE

But ill be buying it day one in hopes of convincing Capcom to give us DMC5 and bury DmC for good
