So happy right now...this gen really is kicking off for me this year. Amazing game to bring back with upgrades. Not DMC5 but close enough
This is legit one of the coolest game cinematics I've ever seen
If Lady, Vergil and Trish are as fleshed out as Dante and Nero then this game will be very difficult to top as the best in the genre.
Not sure if this means much but 'My game news flash' is reporting that in DMC4SE the new characters can be selected with the new:
「VERGIL GAME」 & 「LADY/TRISH GAME」
modes.

Well they still need to fix the backtracking garbage in DMC4 otherwise I'll still most likely prefer DMC3SE overall.
To be fair, MGR demonstrated they can manage decent sales if they're using existing IP instead of their own disasters. I really don't think a Platinum DMC5 would sell that much worse than an internal effort headed by Itsuno.
Isn't the Metal Gear series bigger than DMC? Also didn't MGR only sell like a million copies and it was outsold by DmC?
How much DMC 4 sell compared to MGR....

I wonder if this means Lady and Trish will play the same. Still, this is really interesting news since nobody thought there would anything more than Vergil.Wonder if they changed much about the campaign.
Restructuring of previous levels sounds like a huge undertaking, but I agree that would be the best solution.
And yeah, seems like no Vergil campaign? It's a bit unclear.
They've actually already added more than I was expecting with Lady and Trish. I didn't actually believe they would do it, but their inclusion is HUGE. I really hope that they still add things like a training mode and adjustments to scoring/Bloody Palace. Those will make a huge difference.
And I wanna get playable Phantom with glorious modern graphics. Sorry, Berial, you're great and fun to fight, but as far as fire-elemental bosses are concerned, there's you and Agni and then there's DA GAWD PHANTOM.
Don't know if you've played DMC3 recently but it has as much if not more backtracking through old areas than DMC4. They just paced it better.
Yaaaaaas.
A secondary Bloody Palace that bought back some of the golden oldies from 1 and 3 would be awesome.
Aren't we supposed to be able to use Lady/Trish in any mission?Trish and Lady being part of one mode makes it seem like their campaign will be like Nero/Dante, so we might play the Nero missions with Lady (she does have a grappling hook) and the Dante missions with Trish.
Vergil being separate makes it sound like more work went into his. And I'm guessing it will be shorter than 20 missions since it wouldn't make sense for a single character to backtrack like that.

Yeah, but they're also supposed to get their own opening and ending cinematics, it would be weird to play a campaign with both of them.Well they do have separate modes apparently (Vergil Mode and Trish/Lady mode). It doesn't sound like you just go to the usual Dante/Nero mission select and pick a character.
As you said, the pacing is everything - 1 and 3's reuse of areas was a net positive, creating a sense of progress and exploration; whereas 4's ordered, verbatim repeats of levels and bosses hurt the game enormously, grinding the pace to a halt and becoming actively repetitive. Though obviously those problems are far too large to fix with a rerelease...
Eh... There's backtracking and then there's a mirror mode you HAVE to go through to complete the game, DMC4 probably has the worst implementation I've ever seen in a game.

It's never happening, but it'd be amazing. Especially if one floor was a Nero Angelo, Vergil 3 and Credo combination.
Hope the game we'll look similar to the pc version, I terms of effects
Based Capcpom. Your sins are all but forgiven.

So DMC5 is a given now, right? Playable Vergil was one thing. But Trish and, for the first time ever, Lady? Don't seem them going that far for a remaster in the latest installment of a series that they have no plans to continue.
Worst case scenario, their plans are tentative and low sales cause Capcom to scrap them a la Darkstalkers. So everybody buy 5 copies just in case.
I love what Platinum's doing, but I want to see Itsuno's team keep doing DMC. With DMC3 and DMC4 they've more than earned it.
Furthermore, I can't understand the bizarre attitude of wanting only one developer making character action games. If you actually care about the genre, you should want MORE developers doing it well. I want Itsuno's DMC4 and Platinum to make Bayo3 and MGR2 and for NT's Hellblade to actually be a good entry in the genre (and for Devil's Third to finally come out).

Honestly it wouldn't be a huge undertaking. There are actually very few parts of the game that actually use the Devil Bringer for platforming/traversal (given that most of the levels need to be traversable by Dante as well). It's something that basically happens right when you obtain it and in that room with the spiked ceiling and not much of anywhere else.
The Devil Bringer is (correctly) focused on combat, and its use in traversal is (correctly) a mere afterthought.
But yeah, making Dante also playable in Nero's levels (and Nero playable in Dante's levels, why not) would be fantastic.
I'm really really hoping Lady, Trish, and Vergil have their own full sets of abilities and upgrades (and for Lady, even her own fairly unique systems-level stuff since she can't DT).
And yeah, like I said before, a classic DMC3 weapons pack for Dante would be absolutely killer.
Man, if we're really really lucky, we might even get a second firearm and melee weapon for Nero. omgggg
I'm just thinking in line with things that they could do with the least amount of work possible. They could do "worse" than taking the available assets from the HD collection and giving them minor touch-ups to fit an extra mode.
On the other hand, if we stand to get Cursed Vergil as an alt, again, maybe they'd have plenty of reason to remake Angelo again from scratch.
