FF15 had the "In development for 10 years!" hype riding behind it. Same for Duke Nukem Forever. I can see Capcom marketing 5 as "Dante is back!".
2008 - DMC4
2012 - DMC HD Collection
2013 - DmC
2015 - DmC DE & DMC4SE
Forever is stretching it.
DMC5 will pass 1m easy.

It isn't just you. A lot of people think that due to the dark shadows and lack of anyone really playing Grin Bionic Commando. I wouldn't be surprised if they defaulted to the original Spencer skin to help alleviate the confusion.
SFV as of S2 has 28, w/ 9 women. It's why I think this came as a result of needing to maintain parity w/ the sausagefest MCU side. (MvC3 had way more female characters in the base game, and also did not have gender parity.)

I'd hate if gender parity was a thing for this. If your side is lacking let the other make up for it. It be wrong to see every season pass "it has to be an even number of women or else a company gets mad".
If memory serves me right, the Definitive Edition of DMC4 sold one million copies all on its own. DMC5 most likely won't end up being a bestseller, but I'm sure it will do fine for itself.

Neither DmC: Defibitive Edition or DMC4:Special Edition have broken one million "technically". However they're close if not having done it but not listed.
their million sellers list only accounts for 12.16 out of 15 million. So those games did 2.84 million between consoles and more than likely the pc version of DMC4 and DMC4 SE aren't counted.
Since those are the only titles off the top of my head that could be counting unless there's a DMC game I forgot about.
So looked backed
DMC PC
DmC DE
DMC4 PC
DMC4 SE
DMC4 SE PC
Aren't being counted. So between those 5 SKUs they did 2.84 million
So if you wanted to guess with steamspy
DmC PC - Owners: 905,760 ± 28,474
DMC4 SE PC - 224,212 ± 14,178
DMC4 PC - 197,944 ± 13,322
That gives us 1327916 (not counting for margin of error). Meaning DmC DE and DMC4SE together did 1512084 millionish
We don't know how much DMC4SE sold. We only know that it sold well, and that it boosted Capcom's financials the quarter of its release by 100%.
Peter was promoted from community manager to a developer and now it looks like he's been upgraded to being a producer. If you noticed I wasn't the one who accused him of making that decision, I just said that if he did for personal reasons it's pretty unprofessional.
Anyway I don't know jack about Monster Hunter so I'll take your word on that. I know it's popular but that's about it. Personally I have no love for the Clover games or the characters from that that were in MvC and would be just as happy not seeing them again. I am a fan of Phoenix Wright, but I don't think he turned out well in UMvC3,(Although the knee jerk nerf probably didn't help him much) so I'm okay with him not returning, although that series seems to continuing to do well.
Man Capcom's quarter must have been really god damn pathetic if a re-release of an 8 year old game in a niche genre generated that much of a boost.
IIRC he looked darker in MvC. Rearmed was a great game, and the old classic games were pretty cool too. The reboot was honestly not a bad game but it needed a bit more time in the oven for technical stuff and the story was honestly terrible.
It's a shame it failed and they basically sent Re-armed 2 to die. Grin did a pretty good job bring that series back to life it's just a shame they ran into some issues with it and it pretty much just died again.

Yeah the No X-Men thing isn't going to work
I'd buy GNG DLC before I bought any of those characters. I'm usre I'm in a huge minority though.
Also I'll miss Taskmaster.
Pretty much. The thing is Capcom barely has anybody left so they really can only release 2-3 actual new games a year.
Still kind of baffled that Capcom picked characters like Arthur, Nemesis, Spencer (honestly was probably Peter's doing because he loved playing as him in MvC3).
Jedah is cool so I'd probably like playing him, but overall the only team I'm interested in playing is Dante/Venom. Venom at least makes me happy because I loved playing as him in MvC2. But overall these choices could have been so much more diverse, such as adding characters like Gene from God Hand, Leon from RE, Guy from Final Fight, etc.

DMC4SE was the only significant release that quarter. There wasn't much else going on, basically only catalog sales of DmC DE, MH4U, RERev2 and RE HD.
It's because play style variety, and someone like Nemesis is still more recognizable than a Haggar
Hey man, they know the things we don't
They know that more people want arthur and Jedah than Zero or Vergil
We just aren't on their level yet
I think it's a combination of being out of touch and needed to work on a shoestring budget. Peopel want to compare SFV/MvC to MK/Injustice but it's clear that Capcom isn't dealing with anything resembling the same sort of budget.
As far as SFV goes, you can fault them for the mistakes made in that game (And you'd be right to do so) but they did honestly try some stuff that was supposed to add value for us. Cross platform play and Fight money were both really fan friendly systems that prior to that everyone seemed to want. I'll give them credit for that even though to at least some extent they both backfired.
Having said that this is just a regular fighting game and they seem to still be leaving everyone unhappy off from what we are hearing. If this fails like SFxT or ends up being... well however you want to classify how successful SFV was it's because they are out of touch. They aren't reinventing the wheel here or being too ambitious, if they fail here they're just out of touch and failed at the base level.
I mean why wouldn't they import him from umvc3 like everyone else?
It's right in my case. This roster is still weak as hell even taking that into consideration though.

Yeah. Outside Rocket Raccoon, there's no evidence that they'll do more than just reuse DMC3 Dante again.

I just don't understand how they can go from UMvC3's borderline amazing roster to this. It's baffling
I can't believe I fooled myself into thinking they were gonna give us a diverse and unique roster. The 6 DLC characters need to be crazy legit at this point.
Sigma
Gene/Asura
Nina/Ada Wong
Black Panther
Ms. Marvel/Black Widow
Daredevil/Punisher
I really thought Captain Commando had a shot down the road, but now they are likely going to fill the season passes with MvC3 guys. At least Zero, Wesker, and Vergil are likely

Great fucking question!!
And I bet that was a very specific request from Marvel themselves
It seems like they tend to go with the most popular and/or recognizable iteration of each character (RE5 Chris or SF2 Ryu for instance) so I'm willing to bet its going to be DMC3 Dante again.
No Black Panther sucks too, dude seemed like an absolute shoe in considering his MCU push, hes perfect for a fighting game, and no Wolverine as of yet.
Those are the two best returning characters. That is what I want in a Vs. game, an array of classic characters from classic games. The majority of the other characters are just straight-up boring.
People don't respect the classics these days...

I still can't believe Black Panther isn't in the base roster.
He was one of the characters I was 100% was going to there day 1. There's also the comic variant. Fucking incredible.

Fun costs money, and that would be too much fun.
Yea this is seriously one character I expected even before the variant covers. Mind boggling decision(s).
As for him being DLC... some shouldn't need to be DLC. BP in this case should've been there to begin with but oh well...
No MCU money to be made.
idk about that. Final Fight was a pretty big Arcade game and Haggar is definitely an iconic gaming character.
You would have a point if Nemesis was in RE4-6. Which is more in the mind of modern gamers.
Also GnG getting 2 reps while FF doesnt get even 1 is just BS. Either they think Haggar is popular enough to be sold as DLC , or maybe they are adding Cody or something as an FF rep.
OR Zangief is coming and they dont want Haggar since he looks similar.

I mean this has been pretty much their MO for like what the last 10 years? Occasionally, something worthwhile and smart happens but it isn't the norm for them by any stretch.

Not a bad roster but not the best either, lots missing here but I guess Capcom gotta sell them DLC's.
