Still betting we get DMC5 soon. Honestly I could see E3 2017, and it being a january release. Capcom seems to wanna get back on having less compeition for their releases which is smart.
Hopefully they structure it similarly to how RE7 was. Reveal the game at E3. Then have the HD rereleases of 1-3. Don't think they would release them individually. But all of them for 40 would be a good deal.
One problem (Sesha actually brought this up in another thread) might be that DMC5 will most likely have to compete with GoW PS4. That game is not coming out this year and judging by the history of past releases in GoW series, Q1 2018 seems like the most likely candidate.
They will no doubt be different but to the casual eyes they both will look like melee games in which you hack through enemies with a sword/axe so the similarities are there. And this is an absolute fact that DMC5 won't be able to compete with production values of GoW PS4 (especially when it comes to animation and visuals). So GoW could potentially affect the sales of a possible DMC5 if they are released close to each other.
Yeah you're right. They weren't over the top positive about this gen, but after seeing Marvel vs Capcom Infinite pop up out of nowhere with gameplay to showoff I'm starting to believe that maybe they have more games in development than most people(including myself) think.
As far as the Itsuno stuff, idk the things he said around the time of DMC4SE seemed genuine. I don't see any reason for him to lie about the circumstances around a $25 remaster.
When I look at MvCI, for the most part I see Marvel (and Disney) trying to fix their mistakes in gaming scene. I don't think that's a good game to look at if you are trying to judge how Capcom is doing and what they might have in store for us.
I have no doubt that he was telling the truth when he said that if DmC was successful enough, then it would've replaced DMC entirely. Or that he was happy that the game turned out the way it did. I believe him on those accounts as well. But what Reuben said about Capcom trying to test the water with DMC4SE and gauging interest made much more sense to me than Itsuno saying that company isn't looking at 4SE to determine DMC's future. I think the reason he said that about 4SE was due to that little backlash they had with the (incorrect) news about Itsuno saying that you have to buy 4SE (physical version in Japan) and do the paper survey that is inside the game's case, in-order to let us know if and what you want from DMC5 or something along those lines. He and Capcom most likely didn't want to have another one of those backlash situations at their hands so he said that the future won't be decided by 4SE to avoid any further backlash from fans.
I know this is starting to go into conspiracy theories and tin foil hat stuff, but that's what I genuinely think happened. Especially when you think about how it has already been a year and a half since 4SE came out and Capcom still don't have anything to show (or say) for the next DMC. Even though Itsuno claimed that the future of series isn't dependent on 4SE, meaning that they should've started working on the next entry even before 4SE was out.
