Not DmC2.

But I wanted DmC2

Not what this thread is about.

There's a few things I've been wanting to see since the end of DMC4:

-Tying up loose ends regarding Nero's relationship to Vergil.
-The return of Nero; playable for more than 1/2 the game.
-Takes place after DMC2. This might mean no Dante, but I'd be ok with that.
-Alternatively, Sparda prequel.
-Alternatively, setting it between 4 and 2 would be fine.
-More variety in level design than DMC4 had; no retreading.
-Split gameplay, dual protagonists: choose one character at the beginning. Unique levels designed around that character's playstyle.
-No more gimmicks like that spinning thing.

.

Partly because I enjoyed it, partly because of the meltdowns.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Developed by Ninja Theory. The meltdowns would be glorious.

 

[Easy_D]

Nero for sure, love the Devil Bringer.
Either tighten up the controls or get rid of platforming
No spinny thingy puzzles
No level rehashing

 

[Crossing Eden]

I don't even wanna hear a reference to Nero, the most generic anime archetype i've ever seen in a hack and slash game that i've played. Also don't want yet another prequel/interquel, as there would be no urgency to the plot since we know Dante isn't in any danger, besides the fact that's he ridiculously OP.

 

[Catrollinginthewind]

I'd want to see Ninja Theory not lay a filthy hand on it. How about that?

 

[SargerusBR]

Give me a ressurected Vergil with all the DMC3 Darkslayer swag

Same here for both reasons. I loved DmC more than I probably should have.

I don't care what they do as long as Vergil makes his return in either a playable or unplayable state.

 

[Camp Lo]

I want to see Ninja Theory at the helm.

 

[Troubled Bat]

A prequel where we play as Sparda.

Or

Nero as the main protagonist, with

Spoiler

Dante's daughter.

 

[bon]

I wanna see Dante kicking butt.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Maybe a Vergil side-story about how he became Nelo Angelo.

Or just have some good ass combat with awesome weapons. I'm okay with that.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Dante goes to hell and somehow his demon powers are affected. The reason why he's in hell a portal opened and he entered to investigate.

On earth Nero and the gang fight off the huge amount of demon armies. Sounds like an okay story made up by me on the fly lol

Choosing missions like BL would be cool to gain special weapons or optional bosses. I mean he is a devil hunter.

 

[entremet]

I think you mean DmC2, OP.

 

[YoungOne]

To be able to play as Lady.

 

[JayEH]

Bayonetta has spoiled me on character action games so I'd like for them to go super, super, super crazy with DMC5.

 

[RiderKairuu]

Maybe a Vergil side-story about how he became Nelo Angelo.

He lost to

Spoiler

Mundus

and became Nelo. I don't think there's enough of a game there, but a Sparta side story would better suited.

 

[dragonzdogma]

just make it 0.1% better than devil may cry 3 and I'll be happy.

 

[Linkin112]

- Set after DMC2 (Or just retcon the damn thing)
- Can have a 2nd character, be it Nero or someone else
- No backtrack level bullshit
- No dice game bullshit
- Amazing boss fights on par with DMC3s
- Good OST

That's about it

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

you play as vergil

 

[Mellahan]

Switch styles on the fly a la modded DMC4 PC

 

[Ninja Scooter]

a female Dante

 

[Dahbomb]

Someone copy/paste my list from that other thread.

But I wanted DmC2

Terrible first post.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Enemy AI

 

[malfcn]

Not exclusive.

 

[xezuru]

DMC3 status cutscene action choreography, my soul melted in the days of launch.

 

[orochi91]

I want to see who gets timed (or full) exclusivity, since Capcom can't fund things themselves these days.

a female Dante

That would be pretty cool.

 

[buddha0991]

 

[mrmickfran]

You're a monster.

Just give me DMC4 Dante with more weapons and less backtracking. I'll be set.

 

[TWILT]

I mainly just want Uncle Dante back with some more awesome as hell weapons. I like Nero too though, so I wouldn't mind him returning. They should really expand on the way he plays IMO; Exceed was a very cool mechanic. Vergil coming back would be very awesome too. As long as I don't see a single trace of DmC in there outside from maybe a jab at it or two...

And obviously, no retreading levels like in DMC4.

 

[HardRojo]

Devil May Cry 5: Vergil's Downfall

The story of how Vergil ultimately challenged Mundus, failed and became Nelo Angelo.

 

[Producer]

Itsuno directing.

 

[Sami+]

Young Dante, tone of DMC3.

 

[Village]

Uncle Dante And Nephew Nero 2 Electic bugalooo

 

[The Silver]

goddamnit OP, I saw DMC5 is announced" and I got all excited until I saw the "Say"

 

[Lernaean]

I'd like to see Nero explored further as a character and regarding mechanics, so in the end, you could choose either Nero or Uncle Dante and both would be as competent but different. That is ofc if it is a sequel.
If it is a prequel, the playable Sparda thing intrugues me, it could be a good basis for a game.
No recycled content/bosses. I don't care if it's short, just make every era unique. DMC4 was my favorite just because of its combat, but no more backtracking.
Expand the existent combat system. DMC4's is awesome but could be better in 2015.

Also plz stop it with the NT nonsense. This thread is about a sequel to the real shit, not to the Sonic Boom of the DMC series.

 

[Voror]

I'd love to see Uncle Dante come back with Reuben voicing him once again of course. Wouldn't mind seeing Nero either, but if they go that route then I'd like to see each have their own completely different campaigns that maybe cross one another at times.

None of that that going through the same areas and bosses in reverse.

 

[UltraGunner]

I want to see Dante slice up DINO to bits

You gave me a heart attack OP

 

[I-hate-u]

I want a DMC5 that is an actual sequel to DMC4. Crazy wish, I know.


Basically, expand the Nero story.

 

[abstract alien]

Hopefully if it ever happens, they give us as little of it's completely shit story as possible. A more memorable soundtrack would be nice as well, along with DmC style levels (and DMC4 type gameplay). Maybe they won't shoot themselves in the foot design wise and have it 60fps this time.

 

[RedZaraki]

DMC3 as the basis.

White hair Dante, equip two melee and two ranged weapons at a time.

Skill system that lets you buy new abilities with orbs. Hidden alternate routes and side missions.

Lots of basic stuff to get right. I'd like to see a story with Mundus as a bad guy and more background info about Sparda and more greater demons.

No cameos necessary, Dante and Vergil is all I need.

 

[M0nochromatic]

Devil May Cry 3-2. The gameplay, weapons, outfits, soundtrack, it had it all. Just give it style switching and somehow make it crazier.

http://youtu.be/aQrdL5wMIHE?t=26s

That is, perhaps, my favorite moment in a video game, ever. You just fought Vergil for the first time, got to see a cool cutscene of you getting destroyed by Vergil(while still being badass) and you unlock Devil Trigger. It's also the (I think) first time you hear Devils Never Cry, AKA, Dante's Theme.

If they could meet or top that, that'd be all I need.

 

[buddha0991]

Actually I want Devil May Cry 1-2.

 

[Hexa]

You gave me a heart attack OP

Yup.
The first I heard of Street Fighter V was when my eyes were glancing down NeoGAF there was a thread titled "What should Ono do to improve in the 5th title?" or something like that.
I read the title as "So Devil May Cry 5 is announced" thought the same things happened again, and was totally freaking out for half of a second.

Anyway, I'd like DMC4 but more polished essentially.Not necessarily with Nero back, though that would be fine as well. As long as Itsuno's in charge I trust him to do it right.
Also yeah. Keep Ninja Theory away please. I love them, but they do not make good Devil May Cry games.

[Slamtastic]

DmC2 for delicious salty tears.

But if it's DMC5, I want Nero and Vergil, with full sets of weapons for both.

Make the game's central theme be fatherhood.

Dante can fuck off into the sun.
