Devil May Cry Trademark Pops Up, Sequel Announcement for PS4, Xbox One, and PC Imminent?

Junkie Monkeys: We have discovered that Capcom has recently registered a trademark for Devil May Cry.

[Nyxus]

If they make a new game I hope they go back to classic style Devil May Cry.

[Treezy504]

That would be nice if Capcom would actually listen to fan feedback.

[Godmars290]

Because they've given every indication of doing such in the past. Rather than go as far as to blame fan feedback for a game failure or cancellation.

[abzdine]

dmc is a very good game, but the look of Dante is really terrible.
bring back the original one or at least Nero with the same gameplay

[minimur12]

I wouldn't ind a PS Vita DmC, I heard there was one for PSP but I think it was in the early days where it wasn't too popular and it was cancelled :(

[Conzul]

I just finished DmC since it was on PS+. I rather liked it, but I can appreciate how a big change in character look would piss some people off.

I can't imagine how pissed I would have been if SP had gone with that "new" Cole for inFamous 2.

[DragonKnight]

@Godmars: The difference between then and now is that Capcom literally can't afford to piss off the fanbase this time. They simply don't have the money to absorb another flop like DmC was for them.

[Lord_Sloth]

Just throwing this out there. Capcom has already stated they were pulling their resources back to internal development and Itsuno wants to make DMC5.

[UltimateMaster]

If it ain't the classic Devil May Cry Dante.
Don't buy it, let Capcom go under and go bankrupt.
Maybe then the next person in charge would treat their fan base better.

[Godmars290]

@DragonKnight:
No, pretty sure during their last stock meeting, they blamed fans for the general failure of the new direction of the RE series. Said that we were too old.

[Sevir]

I thoroughly enjoyed DmC:Devil May Cry! The world made sense, it was cohesive, and the characters gave some pretty believable and meaningful performance!

The pacing was great, and the combo system while simple did feel pretty rewarding when attempting ing the cancels and reversal counters!

NT + Capcom please make it happen on PS4... A DmC:Devil May Cry 2 at 1080 60fps PS4 on Panta Rhei, or UE4!

[sonic989]

advice for capcom :
Delete that WESTERNIZED style and story all together and return to the main thing master it evolve it .
other than that thank you

[PaleMoonDeath]

.. We still need a game with Sparda as they main character, the prequel of prequels, :(

(Edited @ 9 agrees and 1 disagree...not pulling a fast one)
I want a Devil May Cry not a DmC. I know some people thought it was good, and I agree TO AN EXTENT, that being that I see WHY some people might like it a bit, but this was not the Devil May Cry I have known since RE Code Veronica's demo disc.
I don't need another video showing the similarities either (whoever posted that last time, thank you but that's not my point). Please just bring back the series Japanese roots, white haired Dante (by white haired, I mean the ORIGINAL Dante attitude, Ruben Langdon, the calm collect DANTE...not DUNTE with white hair) and lets have some devs that actually have a clue about the series this time.

I say give it to Platinum Games....

[CryofSilence]

Yes. Platinum games would be ideal with old Dante.

[christocolus]

I liked the reboot alot more than the classic dmc. I hope they continue with that using the pantha rhei engine.

[ABizzel1]

Presentation easily goes to DmC, the concept of limbo being the demonic dimension sells that verse so well (are we going to get a angelic limbo this time?).

Gameplay however, easily goes to Capcom. DmC was fine, but I want DMC gameplay when I play Devil May Cry, not Heavenly Sword 2.0 (although I would love a new Heavenly Sword Sony).

Combine the two and we have the best DMC yet, IMO.

It would be best to offer two skins so gamers can play as Old Dante and New Dante so there's no complaints. Plus I like both of them.

[CryofSilence]

Emo May Cry. ;)

[ABizzel1]

@Nyxus

I'm hoping for a hybrid of the two 80% original, 20% new. DmC brought some good ideas that sell the believability of DMC. Limbo just makes sense and should become part of the franchise from now on, demons in control of politics (makes sense in the real world too), angel / demon hybrid for more unique weapons (I enjoyed the angel weapons).

Other than that everything else can go back the way it was especially gameplay.

As long as Capcom is in control of the gameplay I'll be happy. If it's a definitive edition (which it likely is) I'm guessing 1080p @ 60fps + DLC. Hopefully they learn from Square's Tomb Raider incident and sell it for $40 as a GOTY edition normally would.

[SaturdayNightBeaver]

slim are the chances for that, i bet its going even more casual this time.

[-Foxtrot]

Maybe a DMC game thats actually a DMC game

dmc was crap, it was an inferior DMC game in every way yet it got better scores then DMC4.

I mean WTF.....sorry say what you want about my silly tin foil hat but something is going on there, especialy when all of a sudden the month before it came out journalists suddenly started to defend it despite not saying anything about it the 2 years it was being criticized. Oh don't forget the majority of big site reviews sounding all the same and talked more about the so called "haters" then the actual game it's self

Seriously they better go back to DMC and forget about dmc.

Ninja Theory should not be allowed it after what they did to it, they were so disrespectful.

[ABizzel1]

Because it wasn't crap as you say.

I completely agree gameplay-wise it was nothing like a traditional DMC, but overall the game was still good and enjoyable. There were some good ideas there, unfortunately Capcom didn't do the combat (thus Heavenly Sword 2.0 was the combat) and Unreal Engine was used instead of Capcom's which resulted in many of the technical issues.

If Capcom can take DmC's ideas, with their own engine, bring back DMC gameplay, and offer both Dante skins for both fans then DMC 5 should be the best in the franchise.

[sonic989]

off topic :
woow fox your comment is just perfect btw is that tails on your avatar just asking
on topic :
yeah i saw most of the reviews they were talking more about what the old ( whining ) fans will do when they see this or that , and didnt truly review the game based on what it did offer .
its simple personally i wont buy a DmC game i will buy a Devil May Cry game

[-Foxtrot]

@sonic989

Thank You

Yeah exactly, thats what most of them said. I felt like the other half of the good reviews just forget what a DMC game was supposed to be like

Hey people can like it but when it's got something to live up to then you can't give it better scores then the last game which was better. It has a name to live up to

Oh and yes...it is Tails :)

[vallencer]

It got better review scores then 4 because well, 4 was complete crap. The ONLY good thing about 4 was Nero. The whole game was just a backtrack of things you already did as Nero and they were worse as Dante. No devilbringer as Dante was the worst decision ever. I also understand he couldn't have that but why not give him something with reach to bring things close to him.

Oh and I'm a huge fan of the new DmC game but I also really like the old ones too so sue me.

[DanteVFenris666]

@vellencer

Just had to add in Dante had a devil trigger In dmc 4. I think dmcs gameplay was the best, both characters were fun. But yea level design was poor on Dante parts because they were previous places

[ZombieKiller]

@Abizzel: You say there were good ideas. Which ones were you thinking of?
I didn't see any good ideas come from DMC that weren't used already in the previous games.

Maybe the Angel/Demon weapons but honestly, with the enemies only taking damage from certain weapons, all that was doing was forcing you to play a certain way. Taking away from the freedom of combat.
We went from 60FPS to 30FPS
We went from clean crisp textures to dirty, slimy nasty ones.
Dante was easy to control, now he stumbles.
No lock on.

That's to name a few. To tell you the truth, I feel like we lost alot with NT making this one.

[Rodney25]

Yes please!

[CryofSilence]

Let the new Dante die and disappear.

[noctis_lumia]

he got the white hair at the end of the game everybody was crying about so whats the prob this time ?

[CryofSilence]

White hair doesn't change his personality.

[Muffins1223]

Honestly besides the shitty script and characters in the reboot,the story was actually nice in it and the game play was fucking awesome.If they do make a sequel just keep the characters more like the last ones and a better script writer and it will be perfect.

[GetRealOne]

What is not classic about the title from ninja theory? Perhaps you don't like DMC any more and somebody else is guilty. The Character looks like Dante, you can see it in Chapter one in the hair scene. The gameplay is totally DMC. The Game was nearly perfect. What you are complaining about?

[Bhuahahaha]

lol reboot a reboot

[RAAMzilla]

Forgive the apparent willy-waving, but having beaten every mission of every DMC with an S rank (excluding DMC2) I still found the DmC reboot to be better and more enjoyable than the classic series. Think what You will of Ninja Theory, but I felt that they delivered an excellent game.

[Relientk77]

Sweet bring on another Devil May Cry

[My_Name_BTW_Is_Dante]

Hopefully they continue with the DmC storyline. This time it won't be outsourced but they can still follow that same storyline.

[rezzah]

I hope they don't.

Bring back the original.

We still have unfinished business with Nero.

[ZombieKiller]

Rezzah I would love that. I wish they would ressurect Virgil after DMC4 and create team attacks with Dante, Virgil, and Nero.

Then make in 3 player co-op.
Dante, Nero, Vigil tag team combos would be awesome.

[Bhuahahaha]

and i would like to see more scene for lady

[Master-H]

Go back to limbo..

[Revolt13]

I'm with youuuu!

[Salooh]

You are always against people wishes. Devil. XD

Just kidding with you ^^

[Salooh]

Ok , you guys too serious, no messing with you xP

[ritsuka666]

My_Name_BTW_Is_Dante''

LOL@ you name.

[listenkids]

Enjoyed the reboot myself, I think the ending was too open to not progress with a sequel.

[kx11]

i only loved the reboot

the old DMC titles felt tasteless and silly

[listenkids]

So many kids on this "site"

[WillGuitarGuy]

Cue the infamous DMC scene!

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

Panta Rhei engine Devil May Cry please....

[Ginryu]

This^. DMC5 with Dante!

[PaleMoonDeath]

No, DMC5 with Sparda!

[Eamon]

Please Capcom, go back to back to original DMC series. Let DmC be buried in history and start anew.

Only 1.4 million sales as of December 2013. Learn from this lesson, Capcom.

[LoaMcLoa]

Wouldn't really call 1.4 million copies sold bad though Capcom obviously expected more

I'm fine with either style. Love these hack-'n'-slash games.

[Eamon]

I guess the real question is whether Capcom made a profit or loss, and if it was a profit, was it significant enough?

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

Now, I personally thought DmC was fine, but DMC4 actually sold twice as more.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

[noctis_lumia]

it is bad considering heavenly sword a exclu game same genre and unknow sold better than dmc

[DanteVFenris666]

Dmc 4 if I remember correctly sold 4 mill. They were doing the reboot to broaden their audience,. So it was a total fail

[sonic989]

yeah and they wanted to go mainstream with that DESIGN XDDDD
but guess what they got the opposite LOL .
well i wont get too excited about this rumor in case they use the same style again because that would make it an automatically ignored game for me

[Revolt13]

Please be DmC 2!!!!

[maniacmayhem]

Please give this game to Platinum and bring back Nero and old school, lovable Dante!

Then and only then can there be peace.

[Godmars290]

No. Like it or not there are New Dante fans who will complain at the switch to Old Dante.

Nevermind that Capcom never really help that argument by switch back and forth between old and new in cross promotions.

[sonic989]

hi Mr.CEO of capcom oppps its not you.
Capcom knows what they should do old dante sold more so in terms of business they should return to that style but evolve the game to make it more interesting for gamers

[Godmars290]

Literally just saying, as someone who didn't like New Dante, that people will complain if he doesn't show in the next game.

Just like I was pointing out new Dante was in Sony All Stars, while old Dante popped in Street Fighter and is no going to be in some DW clone.

Ad if anything proves that Capcom doesn't know f*** all that they're doing it should be almost everything they've done this console gen. From MML3 to DMC: DmC.

[sonic989]

i agree capcom were clueless this generation .

[-Foxtrot]

Well those new fans are the minority

Theres actually DMC fans out there and we were here first.

You don't change a franchise into a shadow of it's former self and let the new fans it's brought it dictate where the franchise should go next. They only like it now because it changed and it was more accessible to them....they didn't actually like DMC for what it was

It's the same with new Resident Evil fans, if you started to like it with RE5/RE6 then your not really a RE fan.

[madcowz64]

I really hope it's a sequel but if you read the last few sentences they mention it could possibly be a definitive edition which might be cool but I'd prefer a sequel.

[WeAreLegion]

I really liked DMC, but Devil May Cry 5 needs to happen. It's better. It's more popular. It's easy money for Capcom, if they do it right.

The question is... Does Capcom have a team talented enough and who respect this series enough to make a Devil May Cry 5?

I'm doubtful. :/ I would trust Platinum, but Kamiya seems to have lost touch with his former self.

[Roccetarius]

Itsuno would be able to do a DMC 5 game justice. Not that new generation, western baztardization of a game.

It truly shows how bad development can go, when you outsource a game.

[darren_poolies]

Yes please, a sequel to last years would be fantastic, absolutely love it. I'm a big fan of the old games and I thought DmC was great, far better than 2 & 4 and just as good as 3 so I would love Ninja Theory have another crack at it.

[WeAreLegion]

Just as good as 3?

You're dead to me.

[SpiralTear]

I'd be pretty surprised if the rumored new Devil May Cry is another DmC. I kinda figured that would be some one-shot detour and then they'd revisit old-school Dante and his PS2-era pals.

I didn't really have a problem with DmC, but I never interpreted it as the future of the series.

[DivineHand125]

I Don't care what those other guys who did not play the game say release DmC 2 because I wan't to see in Angel Trigger form. DmC added more possibilities to Dante where Dante was originally a half human half demon but in DmC he was half angel half demon who could use both demon and angel weapons. Please don't use the unreal engine this time and make the game 60fps then no one will have a valid reason to complain. Also for the fools who complain about his hair being black, at the end of the game after his devil powers awakened his hair turned white.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

Flogging that white haired dead horse dry I see. Who here complained about hair!? Most fans want a better engine and characters in terms of personality.

[Shinox]

Who gives a $hit , this new Donte is Fxxking Ugly

[fabiani]

all engions r nearly the same. the only difference is lighting u fool.dmc is 60 fps on pc.consoles r old but dosent bother me.graphics come from talent.look at ZBRUSH AND MUDBOX N PHOTOSHOP.but alllllllllllllllllllllllllllll assest are made in maya with high res details from those programs.u guys r clueless lol.i make characters n envirements on udk n they look better then most games.talent n expierence

[DanteVFenris666]

Half angel just makes him half pussy. I'd prefer only his darker half

[Unlimax]

Make Devil May Cry 5 happen ..
i assure 100% that you will be literally shocked by the amount of hype/Sales this game gains

*Sigh* i'm just hoping this wont be a next gen port for the NT DMC !

[Gigaryu]

Please go back to the original Dante, thats what we fans want! Do that and maybe your wallets will enjoy it more as well :D

[baldulf]

Ninja Theory's DmC is such an awful game.

I played it free with PS Plus and felt robbed.

[darren_poolies]

Not even close to being an awful game.

[Master-H]

No matter what don't let a western dev handle it, give it back to the original japan team, or get Platinum Games or someone capable.

[WeAreLegion]

The original team pretty much IS Platinum.

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

Please make it to how it was on PS2 !

[MrSwankSinatra]

This had better be Devil May Cry 5

[stavrami-mk2]

DMC best hack and slash of last year ,god of war wasnt even close

[NarooN]

To all the people wishing for a return to the original DMC style: are you INSANE?!

That would imply that Capcom actually LISTEN to their consumers! This could never happen, therefore the next game will simply be DmC 2, which hardly anyone actually wants, and they'll do their best to make the new "Dante" somehow even douchier than he was in the first game!

[CrimsonDragon90]

Capcom should continue with DmC.

[Hanso]

no

[N4GJD]

I definitely prefer everything about the reboot DmC over the original set of titles in the franchise. So I can't relate to those who don't. It just better not be a 'definitive edition' remake!

[Mikefizzled]

Capcom releasing DmC on consoles with low install base? Nope. PS3 and 360 have to be in there for them to think about it.

[LawlessSXE]

I'm guessing that this will be a return to "classic" Devil May Cry. Check the listing proper: https://oami.europa.eu/eSea...

It's about halfway down that page, and it's clearly a different listing to that of DmC. Never mind that this isn't really news as Capcom already said that they wanted to get a new Devil May Cry out in 2015, but no continuity was confirmed.

For me, I'm happy with either. The classic series had gameplay that was better, but DmC had a more appealing visual aesthetic and a MUCH better story, IMO.

[Roccetarius]

The visuals were an eye sore in DmC, plus the story in that game was probably one of the worst attempts at it.

The originals didn't have the best of stories, but it was definitely better written. The games releasing out of order, and messing up the time line was due to developer changes.

[staticdash22]

I'm also of the opinion that I liked the reboot more than the originals.

Here's hoping it's true

[darren_poolies]

Not more than the first which is still of one the best games ever made. I think it's on par with 3, most definitely better than 2 and 4.

[CrossingEden]

http://www.youtube.com/watc...
^ Considering that this is the standard of hack and slash gameplay that DmC established already despite the vocal minority that didn't even play the game in the first place, i'd be happy for a sequel. DmC was the best hack and slash this year and the video above proves it, no other hack and slash released this year gives you so much freedom for combos.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

But you know what came out earlier and had more freedom than DMC.......

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[DEATHxTHExKIDx]

They will probably switch back to classic given the backlash but, I hold out hope for a DmC2.

[TheMutator]

Please Devil May Cry 5 , not another DmC crap.

[Max-Zorin]

I would hope for the classic Devil May Cry we're all familiar with. Hopefully they do bring back the original DMC, otherwise Capcom will give their fans another reason to resent them.

[gano]

if ninja theory called it something else, it would be decent for wha it is.
But no its not a good devil may cry.

Regardless of what anyone thinks (to me).
If a western company takes a jpn game an tries to "reboot" it.
It shows their talent in creativity.
yet ninja t made hevenly sword, and thats what people want.
Not a reboot of someone else work.

In music thats considered bitin, and regardless of what new age gamers
think. I will not ever consider devil may cry a ninja theory game.
An when they rebrand it as that i will stop playing them.

[ybadr]

Please a DMC2

[CrimsonDragon90]

I thought every butt hurt anti DmC people hated Capcom. Now they are excited they might make a DMC 5. If I where Capcom I continue with the reboot.

[noctis_lumia]

whats so special about platinum lol all their games sold crap...

bayonetta
that sega published game forgot title
and that awfull metal gear rising

give the ip to santa monica...the guyz behing the king of the hack n slash genre called god of war

[Roccetarius]

DMC has brought more to Hack & slash than GoW ever will. They just accomplished making a mainstream game for everyone. Santa Monica wouldn't understand the gameplay of DMC.

[noctis_lumia]

hmmm then why god of war sold double than any dmc game then ?

dude like it or not god of war is the king atm no question about it.

give the IP to santa monica they will do way better job than ninja theory

[Roccetarius]

Bury the stench that is DmC, and return to the proper gameplay of the original. Maybe continue with Dante / Nero, or even make a game about Sparda.

Just not that black sheep of a game, please.

[SoulSercher620]

I hope t's DMC5 and not that failure that is DmC.

[Inception]

DMC 5 please. This time, i want to know the full story when Sparda fighting Mundus and how Sparda meet his wife. So yeah, it would be cool to play as Sparda in DMC 5.

[aLiEnViSiToR]

...by sequel they mean to DMC4 right? not sequel for this new DmC >_> really hope its DMC5 :D

[just-joe]

Hopefully real Dante comes back.
