I am surprised it took them so long.

 

[Mokus]

Fuck off with remakes aleeady

No. We need more of them. Sadly they are much better than many of the new games.

 

[IDKFA]

Dino Crisis in the style of RE2R has so much potential, and because that franchise didn't go further than it did it wouldn't be a huge commitment. Either remake 1 and 2 and leave it, or if they do well then keep going because you've revived another IP.

This. It would be incredible to have a RE2R style treatment for Dino Crisis. I'm pretty sure there was a Capcom poll ages ago where people could vote on a series they want to see return and Dino Crisis was near the top.

There is clearly demand for it.

Most new games suck ass though. At least with well made remakes you know you're getting something solid.

DMC is a consistently great series. DMC 6 will very likely be good as they all have been with maybe the exception of DMC 2. They could have put all their money and time and effort into a new title instead.

 

[Topfuel]

New Strider......

 

[DavidGzz]

Gives me a second chance at getting into this franchise. Took a remake for me to like RE4 so the same could happen here.

 

[Hudo]

New Strider......

Would love that.

[sympathytaste]

Lol.
Lmao, even.

It's not gonna happen and you know it. Do you think modern gamers can handle slightly different perspectives or control schemes?

It's gonna use the same standardized template they are employing for all their remakes. Making everything as generic and familiar as possible to satisfy the masses.

I hate that you're correct. We really can't have nice things can we.

 

[sympathytaste]

I'd like they make the castle much bigger and turn it into a metroidvania. With FIX CAMERAS, PLEASE. They add a lot to the horror claustrophobic atmosphere of DMC1, still unmatched.

The original did not use fix cameras per se, they were dynamic akin to code veronica but I get what you're saying.

 

[Simpdimples]

i personally hope its a reimagining into a metroidvania and the castle is a small open world ala dark souls 1
un interrupted by chapters.
ill buy the fuck out of a glow up too of course

 

[Moondoggy]

I'd be ok with a remake of 1 and 2. 3, 4, and 5 feel so disconnected from 1 after all the changes made to Dante's character starting with 3, and 2 was just an awful game.

 

[Stafford]

Oh damn. I still have all the games waiting for me, trying to find a good moment to start with them. I am one of those people that never really tried getting into this franchise.

Now I wonder if I should wait, but it could be quite a while until it comes out. Assuming the rumor is true.

Still no Dino Crisis love from Capcom though.

 

[Elios83]

Only game in the series that imo can be considered a masterpiece among with 3.
The rest...kinda meh (4,5) to terrible (DMC2).

So if they remake it up to current gameplay standards while leaving the atmosphere of the gothic castle intact or better and removing the limitations of its age (room based design) it's fantastic news.

 

[adamsapple]

Fake.

Even dusk flakey golem has washed his hand of this rumor, lol.

 

[Sooner]

Could be really cool if done like the RE2 remake in approach.

Exactly. I don't understand complaining about a "remake" at that level. Resident Evil 2 Remake IS a new game. It's not really a remake, but a complete reimagining.

RE2 on PS1 is still great on its own and I still play it. RE2 Remake is also great, but it's closer to playing RE9 as Leon than it is the original RE2. The games are so different that they aren't even really the same genre, much less the same game.

Now, it is unknown if DMC will be a basic remaster where usually means minor graphical and QoL changes, a remake like Crash/Spyro/Demon's Souls where the changes are basically completely revamping the graphics or a full reimagining like RE2 and 3 is yet to be seen.

Looking at Capcom pedigree it's likely a remake/reimaging like RE2 because those have been so successful for the RE brand.

Season 2 of the anime coming up as well so it's a perfect time to put the franchise back together with a full trilogy remake one by one.

 

[NT80]

I'd much rather Capcom remake DMC3 than anything else from their catalogue. The incredible combat has so much replay value and the soundtrack when it's good adds so much to the experience. Nevan is one of the greatest weapons in the series. I'd love to see them pack it with even more.

There's no version of a remake that will satisfy dmc3 fans. Thats why redoing the whole trilogy like the RE remakes from scratch is the best bet so both can be enjoyed as their own experiences.

The Dante dialogue and delivery alone in 3 wouldn't hit with Dante looking like he does in say dmc5.

I'm just hoping it's a return to form for the franchise.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

My favorite Capcom franchise but I'd rather have a new game.

I am not sure where they can go from the current state plot wise. It is also hard to make the current combat system even more sophisticated than in the new game. Not sure if DMC4 had a more complicated one than the 5th game though.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Part 1 is my favorite because of how the weapons are balanced. It's one of the only games I beat on an impossible difficulty mode and one of my favorite games ever.

Specifically the fist weapons in the game had so much depth I almost lost myself in them. Easy day 1. 3 has a fond place in my heart but 1 is the best.

 

[Gitaroo]

honestly I thought DMC 3 remake would make a lot more sense because in terms of chronological order and also a good opportunity to introduced players to Dante and Vergil and then they can go straight to DMC6 right after. And DMC3 is also the goat for me. Since Kamiya is back at Capcom, I hope he can convince Sega to make DMC vs Bayonetta a thing

 

[Jesb]

Maybe an opportunity to rectify DMC2 eventually.

 

[MrJangles]

Yes please!

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

Meh. 1 was good for it's time, definitely experimental.

franchise needs a soft none woke reboot. They've ran Virgil Vs Dante into the ground now.

But edgy black hair Dante is not the answer either .

 

[Represent.]

Maaan, was hoping they would do Lost Planet 1 before DMC 1.

Thats a fucking game that would rock with a graphical update

 

[Pasta la Vista]

If they go this path with DMC series, theres a chance they can remake 2 and make it good this time. I think that would be cool.

 

[ricardo_sousa11]

Yes please but keep the vibe

 

[Darkmakaimura]

A complete overhaul of DMC 2 would make more sense.

I just want DMC 6 still.

 

[Facism]

damn wonder how much they'll cut from the original

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I don't think there's anything in the first game that would "offend" anyone.

 

[Itchy Tickles]

Can we get a remake of DmC? Best one in the series.

It genuinely is my favourite as a non-hardcore fan of the series. I liked the original 1-3, 4 was OK, and I couldn't get too far in 5 as I found it so boring / unsatisfying. Plus I enjoyed all the upset DMC fans being so upset about the new Dante, good times.

 

[bender]

I finally beat DMC3 this year and had been meaning to replay the original. Guess I'll hold off.

 

[Seomel]

Dusk commented he never said this shit and people still keep going about like its true

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Do it. It's impossible they nail the amazing eerie atmosphere of that one, which initially was going to be RE4 and it shows.

 

[Facism]

I'm don't mean that. RE2 had exposition and collectible documents from the original missing from the remake, Re3 had half the entire original game missing, RE4 cut a load of areas out of the original game, too. It's a theme with their remakes, unfortunately. Not that these games ended up bad, I even thought RE3 remake was decent enough despite areas from the original that got cut.

Yeah probably another problem with remakes. I don't know I just don't find it necessary especially since the first game still looks great even on PS2.
