While there’s been many rumors of a Devil May Cry 5 in the works, more specifically one developed by Ninja Theory, Capcom has yet to officially announce anything.
During E3, Capcom Global Head of R&D Keiji Inafune said that if the company were to make a sequel, it would be “custom-tailored to what the fans want”.
“Yes, there are a lot of fans of the Devil May Cry series,” Inafune told VideoGamer.com. “We need to look at them, analyze what they want in a game, what they don’t want in a game, and then take that into account for if we are going to create a future title, and see if there is something we can create that is going to overcome their expectations, as well as create a title that’s going to get a lot of critical acclaim and be reviewed quite well.
“We don’t just want to come at it and just say, oh it’s a popular series, let’s make a sequel. We want to say, let’s make a sequel that’s going to be custom-tailored to what the fans want, and on top of that, prove that, again, it’s a great game, it’s a fun game, it’s got lasting appeal, and it’s going to be particularly well-liked by the media as well.”
Unfortunately, Inafune refused to comment on the Ninja Theory rumor.
Hmm, as a fan, I’ll try to think of what I would personall want/not want in the game:
WANT:
- Dante as the main character
- Gothic Archecture and dark environments
- a balance between fighting and exploration
- Good, original story
- Good customisation for weapons etc
- Atmosphere
That sounds like a simple enough list tbh….
good ideas.. sounds almost like a action/rpg!
I want destructible environments in the game, Where I can pick up a huge demon and throw him into a building and watch it crumble to the ground.
DMC 4 was a perfect art masterpiece of the highest caliber. I can’t imagine it being outdone. I hope DMC 5 is made in Japan. In fact, I think ALL JAPANESE COMPANIES SHOULD KEEP ALL DEVELOPMENT JAPANESE (I do LOVE Ninja Theory though). & Capcom, please gift the world with an MT Framework PS3/360 STRIDER / ONIMUSHA / POWERSTONE (made in Japan please)…..
I like Nero better than Dante…
i didn’t really like dmc4 but for 5 id like to see some destructible environments, better platforming, a tuneup on the battle system and a good story
