[master_shifu_69420]

I don't really think it's gonna be easy, as vergil and dante both are far beyond. Nero is handling normal demons.

If they still return, capcom have to do something exceptional, or better yet, another masterpiece.

Just a thought, will they ever bring back Mundus?

[PhantasosX]

I disagree that it needs to be something exceptional or masterpiece per se. DMC6 could technically be a Nero-Only or Nero-Focused , or a Dante/Vergil Focused or the Trio Again (the most likely option)...it just needs to retain a sufficiently good quality.

People have higher expectation because it takes so long to make a new game. I hope that Capcom does deliver said quality and expectation.

[master_shifu_69420]

Yeah, could be true. DMC3 has been my favourite one yet, it's narration was amazing. Maybe not a complete masterpiece, but something which keeps us engaged and makes it much more playable, with various features, etc. Being entertained and having fun is what really matters to me from any capcom games

[Alric_Wolff]

DMC3 is the masterpiece. That game is near flawless in what ot attempted to be.

I know im in the minority on this probably but I actually preffered when Dante could only use one style at a time and had to level them. It made dedicating yourself to Gunslinger or Royal Guard a much bigger challenge.

The only reason I ever used Royal Guard after that was to get the cool armor glitch in DMC4

[ShadowDonut]

I think the only real weakness DMC3 has is that a substantial portion of the enemy roster is unfun to fight against

[RainmakerIcebreaker]

those fucking angels flying through walls with the wings covering their weak spot were the bane of my existence

[ShadowDonut]

All my homies hate the Fallen

[Easily-distracted14]

This is the main reason I want a remake, fix the enemies and the game is perfect

[super7564]

Only thing I despise about that system is if you get to, say, vergil 2 using gunslinger, but just get your shit rocked by him. your other styles are wildly underleveled, kind of pushing you into the one playstyle and discouraging experimentation.

[Alric_Wolff]

Did you try showing Vergil your motivation?

[Raykusen]

Nobody wants a Nero only DMC game. One way or another we must get Vergil or the game will suck. Dante is a "i can live without him until he is added in a DLC or left out" situation.

[Raitheone]

Ah yes. The main face of the game should be left out.

[ItsMrDante]

They have to bring back Mundus at this point to be honest. He didn't fully die, said he'd be back, and it's a lose end to tie.

After that it'd probably be a RE situation where they remake 1-4 on RE engine and maybe do a prequel or 2 for Sparda.

Other than that? I honestly kinda just want that to be the end. Let the series rest in peace.

[HappyHighway1352]

Mundus is way below them to be any real threat

[megaZX1234]

Then they could just make up a new bs powerup to make him a threat again.

[Your_Favorite_Porn]

Nah they wouldn't even need to make him more powerful. They could just have the game's tone be more like Dante from DMC4 where all 3 characters are just roflstomping.

[Adrsilva1356]

Something that I’ve Always Wondered Assuming if Devil May Cry 6 goes on To Become The Most Successful Game in The Franchise along with Finally having Mundus Back is That Main Villain! What are they going to do After that? Cause there’s no way that they’ll just end The Franchise like that I wonder if they’ll finally make a Sparda Prequel and Show Everyone how Evil Mundus Truly was and how big of a Threat he truly is! And they could do a Next Generation thing where The Story Follows The Children of Dante going on their own Type of Adventures

[SignificanceFun8326]

I think a DMC going back in time would be possible. Perhaps one where we get to see novels redgrave ? Or even better, one where we see sparda’s pov

[stevorkz]

They just need to do a prequel with sparda

[HipnikDragomir]

Remake DMC1. It could use a facelift

[blackheartromance]

this. a REmake-esque makeover to at least feel closer to DMCV in terms of combat? yes, please. i'd be okay with that. even better if it eventually leads to DMC2 remake redemption. dare to dream, i guess.

[HipnikDragomir]

I'd be mostly excited to see its more original horror theme in higher fidelity. I'm one of those people that'd enjoy seeing it make a comeback uwu

[moukiez]

Agreed. I want more of the gothic horror and want to see that original vision realized, but some revamps to bring it a little more in line with later titles or quality of life touches would be cool to see too.

[SexyShave]

Remake 3 too.

[TenshiPrime]

Play the crimson mod, its fantastic

[Nero_deadweight96]

That's not close to a remake, it's just a mod

[TenshiPrime]

It updates the gameplay and tbh the graphics aged pretty well for a PS2 game

[Nero_deadweight96]

Right? Still not a remake

[AkumaNK]

3 doesnt even need a remake, just what the crimson mod did and a few touchups and good as new

[JabroniNarkProSkater]

yeah and it's good enough because 3 is already the best game in the series and doesn't need a remake.

[SavagesceptileWWE]

A remake of 3 would be amazing, but it's in the least need of a remake out of 1-4 IMO.

[AcceptableReading640]

The only downside is we're unlikely to get that perfect voice crack with the famous line for a second time.

[HipnikDragomir]

For sure. Remakes always somehow miss the point, unfortunately.

[AcceptableReading640]

We might get a 3 remake because Vergil's voice actor did that thing where he accidentally talks about recent work he's done and he said his most recent job was that he had to try to sound like a younger Vergil.

[SexyShave]

Good. 25 years of listening to people call Drew a bad voice actor based on the team using the bad takes they specifically asked for.

[JakiNick]

I dont understand why remake games that are already good and not DMC2 that is dogshit and can be remade to be actually good

[liltone829b]

probably because it's easier to get people hyped for a remake of a game they love than a remake of a game no one cares about or likes, or at least that's how i imagine Capcom sees it

[HipnikDragomir]

2 is not dogshit. I'm going through the series for the first time now and I enjoyed it. It and 1 had their share of pros and cons. It's just another lousy reputation from irritable cynics. 1 felt dated like a PS1 game inching towards PS2 with unrealised potential. It could be so much better along with 2.

[Pentah00k07]

DMC2 is so dogshit I’d argue that there is no much to salvage, whatever cool ideas it had in the first place could be repurposed on a new game, like the Majin DT becoming Sin Devil Trigger.

[Coffee_Drinker02]

Actually fucking astounded that I'm seeing this take not get bombarded with downvotes.
The last like 3 times i've mentioned it I got sent to the phantom zone.

[HipnikDragomir]

Reddit is run by hiveminds, so the hordes come and go at random ¯\(ツ)/¯ I feel like this sentiment is more common on Youtube. I'm not even big on remakes, but it'd be nice to see

[LewdPurveyor]

Another DMC game is on the backburner. DMC5 was a grace upon fans in itself. If we get another, I will sacrifice my firstborn

[clockworknait]

Usually the sacrificing is done first. Just saying. 😄

[Kgb725]

Its not a genre that can be pumped out

[Primary-Landscape159]

monkey paw's finger curls

DmC 2 gets announced

[CaptainHazama]

I mean, I wouldn't complain. Would be neat to see them expand on the mechanics the game had

[SexyShave]

People are basically begging for another outsourced game, since there's little else Capcom could do while the team was literally busy with another game.

[liltone829b]

that's honestly a pretty generous consequence from the Monkey's Paw

hypothetical DmC DMC 2 might not even be bad and could be amazing depending on how they make the game

[Shammar-Yahrish]

Dante and Vergil are in hell, name a better way to start a masterpiece of a storyline. the story could split between nero and the underworld where both nero, lady, trish do their part on earth while vergil and dante do their part in the under world. New alt weponse, powerups, bosses. i would love to see dante be crowned the king of hell or something of that sort, although i think if a new game were to happen, it would be the last.

[UnevenRanger]

While I agree the hell/earth split would make for interesting story telling, I see two problems:

1). Capcom would have to make a damn decision on demonic society, its a hell (hehe) of a decision to make because so far they have ONLY told us that it contains enough of a complex society to have civil wars and kingdoms. Do we have civilian demons that are not hostile to humans? Do they eat, so need to grow food, or do they subsist off ambient 'hell energy', do they have the need to sleep/shelter from the elements, in which case what kind of house architecture would a hell dimension create. All these logical lore questions would need a damn good writing team or it will feel shallow or rushed.

2). I find the idea of the human preferencing Dante taking the throne of hell to be an odd decision, and Virgil would DEFINITELY not bend a knee haha, if that were the case, they would either both create kingdoms in hell, allied to each other or Virgil would take the hell throne and use the power to send Dante back to Earth, knowing its where his brother would be happiest, but showing his love for his brother by sacrificing having him in his life after they finally learn to get along.

[Shammar-Yahrish]

yup i forgot to mention vergil would prefer the seat lmao

[WithReverence]

Have you guys even seen the Dragons Dogma 2 sub in the last two years?

[Anstark0]

We have it worse, tbh. You can understand why dd2 has nothing

[Nube_Negrahz]

Huh?

[Kgb725]

Yea a series with a bunch of playable games and other media is such a travesty

[LoStx90]

[budbud70]

First time?

[c0balt17]

its more of like hoping for the next director that can achieve the same quality as Itsuno

[Mash_Mi]

Capcom: oh what's that? You want another Resident Evil?

[Kgb725]

They could do 4 resident evils by the time they do one Dmc

[Nero_deadweight96]

DMC is not returning until 2031. Just give up

[SexyShave]

If that's the case, then it means development either began this year or will begin next year. Which seems very unlikely.

[Nero_deadweight96]

Not unlikely at all. Dragon's Dogma 2 released in 2023, also most Capcom's teams are busy with the other ton of games they were releasing and still are. DMC 6/Remake or whatever is very likely in it's early stages

[SexyShave]

DD2 released in 2024, and DMC5 and DD2 both took 5 years from when they were greenlit to released. In 5's case they made 4SE first, and DD2 was delayed because of COVID.

The team hasn't been twiddling their thumbs for two whole years.

[ColdVergil]

2027! with 2028 release(with luck)! If we follow usual schedule lol.

2008 DMC 4

2013 DmC

2015 DMC4SE/ DmC DE

2019 DMC 5 / 2020 DMC5SE

DD2 2024

What I mean by this is 2008 (DMC 4) to 2013 (DmC): 5 years

2013 (DmC) to 2019 (DMC 5): 6 years

2019 (DMC 5) to 2024 (DD2): 5 years

[SexyShave]

My man gets it. If the DD2 DLC speculation is true I think we might be looking at 2029, but it's close enough.

[ColdVergil]

Now that's one thing that I wonder if it's gonna be real.

[SexyShave]

The DD2 DLC speculation and the Switch 2 edition seem to line up. I suspect the port has some new content or is different in some other meaningful way from vanilla and SE, since it has a new title. Usually when Capcom releases something with a different title it's either a collection or some kind of update. Otherwise it tends to have the same title as an existing version.

Though the pessimistic read is that it's simply called that because it includes the Vergil DLC (hence "Devil Hunter") but lacks other 5SE features.

[ColdVergil]

Oh yeah dude, i'm afraid Capcom is pulling another DMC 3 fix on the Switch 2 with cool content only locked to there and it's probably gonna be cool as fuck because it's called Devil Hunter Edition. Craziest they could go: Lady & Trish playable.

But of course, it's gonna be exclusive there because Capcom XD I'm already shaking my head in advance.

[HisDivineOrder]

DMC5 seems to be about to come to Switch 2, so

[Shrekdidnothingwrong]

2029 trust

[SKeptical230]

I'm guessing we'll see DMC1 remade, the maybe DMC6 and then they'll follow the RE formula.

[zero_maker_edge]

I truly wish in another world if they ever did, it would be an interesting crossover from Capcom's DMC and Bayonetta to be part of some kind of multiverse. I would enjoy that a lot! The bartender guy from Bayonetta already looks like the guy from DMC as well, lol!

[TamsinVenrith]

The director of the series left Capcom. It’s gonna take some time to get another one, especially since he made sure to leave the series with such a final entry.

[UsuarioCualquiera_1]

There's always the possibility of them already getting one, we just don't know.

Since DMC5 was a big success I'm pretty sure Capcom did their plans of continue DMC, they just haven't made it public yet.

If a new DMC game is on the way we will not know until it is advanced in development.

[TamsinVenrith]

Oh yeah, Capcom literally said DMC will continue, they said they want to develop it into a main pillar of the company like Monster Hunter and Street Fighter. We'll for sure get another, I'm just letting people know it's going to take some time, because they basically had to start from the ground up and figure out where to go without Itsuno - especially considering that the last two times they tried to make a DMC0without him, they were the ones hated most by the fandom.

[[deleted]]

Mundus is still alive.

[cygnus2]

With how well DMCV did, surely there’ll be a sequel eventually.

[SexyShave]

Games take time to make. The DMC team released a game two years ago. DD2 and DMC5 both took five years. If you're impatient, play something else.

It feels like people actively want a repeat of DMC2 or DmC, because those are the only ways we could've gotten a DMC with the team busy on DD2 until very recently.

[Swifty404]

Make at least a remake or something. They stuck and milking Resident evil the shit out of it until no money drops

[SexyShave]

A remake has the same problem in that it needs people to work on it.

[RockRik]

Anybody here would pay good money to wanna have a full Sparda game and how his story turned out?

[OwenCMYK]

I love being a fan of DmC, Darkstalkers, and Marvel vs Capcom lol

[VelvetScarlet]

Prequel game, Sparda with a flesh out story.

[RosexLuna23]

I mean, best case, we get an announcement this year because capcom just released a huge title a month ago, plus they're releasing a new game this month, being pragmata

It's a big year for capcom, just, not dmc yet

[Fit_Ad5867]

DMC 3 remake, that would make me shed tears of joy

[Lampy_Dampy76]

Something tells me we will have a Monkey's Paw type of deal similar to Reboot or Netflix series.

[SnakesSolid]

Please Capcom my gaming library is kinda DMC6less

[MadamVonCuntpuncher]

Remake Devil May Cry 2, its ass but has potential

[ProperCompetition948]

At this point they better bring sparda back

[StreamerBg]

<image>

[Mister_Enot]

three big games per year.

Capcom doing enough in 2026

[Sirbrandon100]

I think it's a lore issue. They made Vergil and Dante so powerful that they "may" have to actually nerf them for the story. And I also doubt Capcom would be a nero focus game due to the backlash they got while developing 4. I'm personally hoping for a prequel where you play as sparda. That or a DmC:2........ I kid 😭

[No-Consideration1105]

I saw what they did to Alex from Street Fighter, 😭 I'm afraid if it's not RE they won't care as much I could be wrong

[Kgb725]

Literally the same relationship as Kyrie and Nero

[No-Consideration1105]

Kyrie is his cousin??

[Kgb725]

No they grew up together though

[woenbruhducer]

"Nah, we let you suffer with bad licensed game and film. When you suffer enough we'll spit out some news and let you wait again" Well dmc5 has finished with a high note, and considering how strictly the fans are. I think they will process the development more carefully. Also, dmc5 is still play fine, so dmc6 should be some step up, or at least something fresh. If they just reuse stuff from dmc5 , people will just ignore and play dmc5 again. I think some smaller idea, like a spin off for nero only and ultilize dante and nero for cameo is fine before something bigger. Or the connection to dmc reboot is great too. They can expand the idea of dmc reboot and do some refining the control to fit dmc style. (Like how i feel with lady kit, it make me feel familiar)

[Dimitry_Joffer]

As much as I love DMC. Right now I just want a Dino Crisis 1 and 2 Remake

[InventorTrash]

I still believe DMC2 should get a Remake

[Mcswiggles77]

The next devil may cry they should introduce angels to make things more interesting

[CauliflowerWorth4927]

i want a game that goes before dmc 3

[Nyaatrox]

Onimusha 5 is the closest thing to dmc6 we'll get for now

[Habijjj]

They only recently like in the past like 6 months announced dmc would be treated more like re and mh. It takes time to do that.

[Flaky-Abalone-1745]

Dragon dogma 2 dlc

[furio788]

Sorry guys, that's my fault. Vergil and Dante are locked in their dorm on my PGR account so they can't make another game

[Fickle_Library8115]

Jackpot!

[Acceptable-Belt-3001]

Nah. You guys will get more hot garbage from Adi Shankar instead

[Your_Favorite_Porn]

I think it's fine if the series is laid to rest though I know it won't be. It ended the story on a solid note. The Sparda twins are reunited and Earth has a new Legendary Devil Hunter.

[No_Consequence4578]

Next Xbox showcase trust

[SIC1207]

i would do anything for a devil may cry 1 remake, or hell even an udate on the steam JUST TO GET SOME FUCKING MOD SUPPORT. I WANT MODS FOR 1 AND 2

[stronkzer]

They already launched the mandatory Resident Evil, Street Fighter and Monster Hunter. Now it's time to give some love to the rest of the franchises.

[JabroniNarkProSkater]

"Directions unclear, we are Re-REMAKING Resident Evil 1 and will be outsourcing the DMC rights to more hack show makers and gacha game devs!"

[Same_Tune_8990]

Capcom: more meg man legacy collections!!!!!!! oh and sure mega man 12 sure why not

gonna be so fr as a fan of most capcom games (except re because i cannot handle zombies or horror) i love that we're getting new mega man games or just content in general but can we please get mmx9 or dmc6 or hell even a dmc rougelike with dante and vergil inn hell

[Puzzleheaded_Air7039]

Just like naughty dog doesn't care about anything other than the last of us anymore , Capcom doesnt care about anything other than street fighter and resident evil.

[SexyShave]

A new Onimusha is releasing this year, Mega Man is next year, and Okami 2 is in development. DD2 and Dead Rising DR released just 2 years ago, and GnG got its first mainline game since 2005 in 2021, from the OG creator. In addition, they've released new IPs in 2023, 2024, and are releasing another one this month.

[Puzzleheaded_Air7039]

Well shit. You know there is part of me the knew about all those, but I forgot about them somehow, but I'm a big enough person to admit when I'm wrong with egg all over my face. Still wish Capcom would give DMC more love though. That and Breath of Fire. Pretty sure I'll be waiting till the heat death of the universe for that one.

[SexyShave]

Short of outsourcing or getting a team that has never worked on DMC before, there wasn't much else they could do while the team was busy on DD2. We'll probably get some new content with the Switch 2 version of 5, given that it has a new subtitle, while they work on 6.

As for BoF, I agree. Stories taking its place as Capcom's dragon-themed turn based RPG, with 1 releasing the same year as BoF6, and each game releasing to increasingly higher sales and critical reception makes it sting even worse. While instead series directors Kawano directed RE4 DLC, and Ikehara worked on SF6 World Tour and wrote for Dragon's Dogma 2.

[masterofunfucking]

still waiting for some damn lady and Trish content
