Upon Devil May Cry’s announcement at last year’s Tokyo Game Show, countless gamers were furious with the direction developer Ninja Theory are taking with the long running action series. However, Platinum Games has said that they’re ready to take over the development of the reboot, if Capcom wishes them to do so.
With Final Fantasy XVI committing fully to fast-paced action gameplay, it may finally be time for a new remake series of a classic Capcom franchise: Devil May Cry. As the franchise that essentially originated the particular style of 3D action combat that the upcoming Final Fantasy is making heavy use of, Devil May Cry could very well be due for a remake, or even a series of remakes, to address certain flaws and more dated aspects of its classic games, similarly to the popular modern remakes for Capcom's Resident Evil series.
why in the hell would we need a remake of devil may cry when devil may cry 5 was great? We just need devil may cry 6 ; not a remake, enough with the remakes
I'd much prefer we get new games that have such combat. Enough with the remakes. At least move forward if you want more of the same series
Why not a sequel? Why do we run to "needs a Remake" all the time now. I'd rather have the original and then a brand new entry instead of the original and the original but remade.
With DMC5's four-year anniversary passing and the increased relevance of its genre, now could be the best time for a new Devil May Cry game.
I am super surprised that a total remake of the first DMC, in the vein of the latest Resident Evil titles, hasn't been revealed.
Capcom is banging out the RE series. I would Love a new Onimusha and Power Stone from Capcom.
Well sh*t while we're at it let's get a remake of MvC2. Honestly Devil May Cry was one of my favorite games and I really didn't like the tonal shift too much as the series progressed. Now would be a good time to return to DMC 1 and do a soft reboot from there keeping the tone dark. I would also be 100% down for a game based on the story of Sparda.
Fable co-creator Dene Carter turned to Devil May Cry for an idea of scope when developing the 2004 hit action RPG.
"Look to your peers", "stand on the shoulders of giants", "don't re-invent the wheel". Or in far more blunt down-to-earth British dev terminology: "rip it off" hahaha
Just here to read the comments of the people who obviously didn't actually read the article; just the headline.
They should do it, it might actually be good that way.
I'm, a little skeptic on this one
This would just be too awesome if the original creator worked on a new dmc. It was really messed up what capcom did to him and the guys that used to be clover studios.
Oh god please let P* work on a DMC game Capcom, even if it's the second installment of the reboot I'm sure they could do it more justice than NT and use a better engine. DmC holds a special place in my gaming heart as it along with The Legacy of Kain games are what got me back into actual gaming during the Ps2 era, before I played those games I was usually just playing racing games and the occasional RPG so I don't want to see the series ruined.
I wouldn't even have such a big problem with it if they didn't seem to change Dante's personality but it seems they did and that's what helped make the game.
People understand that this is a reboot.And in no way Capcom will ever delivery DMC to PG because of the honor!Kamiya left Capcom because he do not agree with the way Capcom was handling things,it was not a friendly departed.Japonese people honor there ways and in no way will Capcom ever submit or bend over to PG over DMC or any IP's they have.Kamiya knows that and respond positive because he knows Capcom will never accept that.
