After a no show at TGS I don't think we're gonna see DMC5 until next year TGS the earliest. Would love to be proven wrong though.
Until then...Bayonetta 2

Itsuno (Dragon's Dogma/DMC2~4 director) just had interview with latest issue of Dengeki PS and he said he is working on multiple titles, and will announce one of them really soon.

I wouldn't be surprised if they only announced that Deep Down was Dragon's Dogma online... a watered down, procedurally-generated version of Dragon's Dogma with a freemium currency model for financial support. I honestly think that's the most likely scenario for the resurgence of the Dragon's Dogma IP but oh, how I'd love to be wrong about that...

If we go by the trademark, it can end up being Dragon's Dogma online.
Cautiously optimistic about this one.

Itsuno hasn't been working on Deep Down though.
Honestly even if it's not DMC I'll be happy to see whatever he has to announce because he's proven himself to be an incredibly capable director across multiple games and genres.
But I reaaaaally want it to be DMC.
Excellent.
The dude had been super quite since DD so it was obvious he was working on something.
First Kobayashi says an announcement is coming soon and now he does. Chances are high for DMC or DD.

Deep Down rebranded as Dragon Dogmas Online to the sadness of many
BUT a new full fledged DMC5
Then for me since he said multiple a new DIno Crisis in some form.

Dragon's Dogma 2 please. Leave character action games to Platinum.

Please no. They don't need to support the entire genre single-handedly. And I still prefer the DMC3-4 style of gameplay anyway.
No thanks.
Boooooooooooo
Itsuno and co are the only others who could shit out something potentially magical in the genre barring Platinum Games. We need more games in the genre, not less.
I want Platinum Games to give me Metal Gear Rising 2 tho.
Why must all my favourite IP's be the ones incredibly unlikely to get new entries/sequels these days? Fuck gaming, I'm taking up professional post stamp collecting.
It says that they're hoping to let people know the title and play it in 2015!

Shit. How did I miss this!?! When did he say that?

It was back when everyone was berating Ninja Theory for having their game run at 30fps rather than 60. He was defending that game from a lot of criticism.
This.
I'm fine with either current/PC gen DD2, or a current/PC gen version of DD1 to rack up some cash, since they're so strapped at Capcom.
I hope this game isn't tied up in an exclusivity deal like a lot of recent Capcom games.
I read that as a new Sengoku Basara. Didn't they just release a Sengoku Basara? Itsuno, pls. DMC5 now.

Well, Kobayashi said it would even turn heads in the West, and I doubt Sengoku Basara would be the series to do that.
I feel like they might be talking about different games. Dragon's Dogma Online is practically confirmed at this point. The fact that there's a separate trademark in Europe shows that something is in the pipeline.
But DD Online has to be Deep Down, i mean it doesn't make sense releasing two so similar games.
"Exclusively on WiiU"
*GAF nuclear explosion*

Ah it'd prob be 60fps on Wii U, I'd go for that.

Thanks for posting this man, song is great. Dragons dogma still providing me with entertainment even when I'm not playing. The game that keeps giving.
A new Dragon's Dogma or remaster of 1 would indeed be fantastic, whichever platform they choose to release it on. Loved (most of) the original game.
Not to steer us away from Kobayashi and DD, but does anyone here know what Ryota Niitsuma (director of Marvel vs Capcom 3) has been working on since the Jojo re-release? I feel we almost need one of those "Nintendo studio projects" type overview for Capcom directors at this point not to let Capcom things (official or rumored) slip through the cracks.

I'll be surprised if it is dragon's dogma 2.
If Street Fighter can't apparently be made without external funding, what are the chances for a game that didn't sell well?

if Street Fighter can't be made, nothing can, basically.
You mean someone like Nintendo's Hitoshi Yamagami?
This man saved Bayonetta 2 and Devil's Third.
It's likely Capcom has been working on several projects for the past couple of years, some of which might have fallen through due to money and budgetary issues, and some due to Panta Rhei not being optimal if it really has problems. I mean, they'd be stupid not to work on new console projects when next gen was upon us (yes the Wii U was already here but Capcom wouldn't care about Wii U unless Nintendo steps in and pays for something).
I wouldn't be surprised if Niitsuma was working on something that fell through. All purely speculative, of course, but it's been almost 3 years since UMvC3, and JoJo couldn't have been that work intensive. He must have been working on something.
As for what he could be working on, well Tatsunoko 2 will probably never happen, Marvel 4 the same. It has to be a new crossover, maybe something like Capcom vs. PlayStation All Stars if the Sony relationship continues. Other fan pipe dreams like Capcom vs. Shonen Jump would be a licensing nightmare exceeding that of Tatsunoko, and Capcom vs. Nintendo would only happen if Nintendo paid for it.
Personally I feel the thing he needs to do is take the Marvel 3 formula and the assets of the Capcom side, and use those to make Capcom All-Stars. If SF5 won't do incremental iterative releases like Super anymore, but instead adds characters like KI, then they could do the same with CAS. Just add characters over the entire gen until DLC sales slow down. Then do the sequel for next gen. It's nice to dream.

Either way he said multiple titles. DMC5 confirmed at some point.
please
No thanks.
Interesting (really, not sarcastically), but no, I actually meant those diagrams some people on Gaf sometimes whip out to give an overview or speculation of which Nintendo internal studio / director is working on which game. Sorry for being unclear.
Thanks! Your speculation about Niitsuma's projects sounds solid, but also saddening. Let's hope he's at least working on something that will eventually see the light of day. If only we would know about all games that are indeed cancelled behind closed doors - or wait, maybe its better for our sanity and stress levels that we don't...
