21 years ago Capcom released one of the most groundbreaking action games of all time, and the genre would never be the same again.
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
Yeah I mean, no insult to the franchise but it's not like the story or location of the first was so top tier that we need to go back to it
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.
Never heard about it, but boy do I hope you are right! Dragon's Dogma was great!

Was a very anticlimactic announcement, but it's official!
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.
DmC released between those titles. Even if it’s its own continuity it still showed Capcom was interested in the series
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
I mean I agree with his sentiment of not reinventing the wheel. Imagine if every physicist, for example, had to derive the equations of relativity from scratch every time they were looking to make a discovery. We would never get anywhere. This isn't the same thing as straight up plagiarism of course.
Oh yeah, I imagine there would be very few major games developed in the last 20 years that didn't copy things that worked from previous games in terms of structure and design. The blunt language just made me smile. And I guess opens him up to some click-bait titles.
Just here to read the comments of the people who obviously didn't actually read the article; just the headline.
Dante was so cool, he created his own sub genre of games. Loved the characters, the style, the action and the music. First game even almost has that Castlevania feel walking down the hallways of the castle with the bell sound in the background.
Only time I'd say that a bug in game development actually helped to create something great. Well, and Street Fighter combos.
Also, Dark Souls didn't start the souls genre of games. It was Demon Souls.
Pretty ironic to see that this game started out as an idea for Resident Evil 4. Ultimately the idea was rejected but was still completed and released as its own separate IP and went on to be a super successful series. One of those what-if scenarios that just happened to work out.
Absolutely unreal game, beat it on all difficulties, If i had to use a term, first souls like difficulty type game for me, Dont get too caught up, hit when you can get away dodge get another hit in etc....Also a bit more of a serious theme which i like, the later games get a bit more teenage if you will, but still good.
