i'd say going forward, dmc should retain multiple protagonists because the fanbase is at the point where sure we have people who prefer dante, like my self, but we have a lot of people who were introduced with 4 who prefers nero's playstyle and character, i don't think we should have a new dante solo game (unless it's a remake) because it would alienate the nero fanbase, ideally, a 6th game would have nero, dante and vergil fighting with 6 missions each and a mechanic that after completion allows you to change which character to play as like the rumoured divergence mode.

DMC can't work without Dante. I wanted to play as Dante more than anyone else because he's the half demon with more styles and weapons. Plus, I've seen his journey. Nero is similar to Dante and even uses the name of his business. It feels like he's supposed to idolize him, not replace. I wouldn't mind playing as Dante, Nero, and Vergil. Nero could get some new devil breakers, maybe his DT changes when he switches. Vergil can finally change his weapons. Dark Slayer can adapt to each weapon. I didn't mind how his gameplay worked in DMC 5 but maybe he uses other doppelganger methods. There's room to build and three characters is enough.

I'm replaying through dmc5 right now trying to beat DMD for the first time, and I think they did Dante a lot of justice in this game in terms of keeping him relevant in the story. Dante is the one to beat Urizen, and at every point where he is not unconscious in the story, he is essentially the main hope of the characters, with Nero basically just trying to catch up. The only way for Nero to have any less impact on the story would be for him to not show up to the brothers' fight at the end of the game, and then we're basically just replaying DMC3.

There's little evidence to support that conclusion. The series has already survived transitioning Dante to a secondary protagonist. Just fine, I might add. Between 4 and 5, they've sold 14M copies of games that don't star Dante, meaning a huge chunk of the playerbase past and present have played games with Nero as the primary lead. And, be honest, would you feel the same way about a Vergil solo game? The only things they did with Dante in continuity after 2 was having him "be a legend" and fight Vergil again. His entire arc after 1 was focused on Vergil, and it basically amounted to just not fighting him. And the impetus for that was Nero, not anything within Dante. The only games starring Dante I'd accept at this point is Kamiya's DMC2 with Dante and Trish, which presumably wouldn't have featured Vergil or Mundus, or some new threat in 6 or w/e. If it's just Mundus again, the devs will have proved that Itsuno or no, they don't have any idea of what to do with Dante. And after the last four games, that's the impression I have. Morihashi, by his own admission, doesn't get Dante, and like Itsuno prefers Vergil and Nero, so it might be better that he focuses on characters he prefers until someone who actually does get Dante comes along. Someone like Kamiya.

God of War is the Kratos franchise, Tomb Raider is the Lara Croft franchise, Uncharted is the Nathan Drake franchise, Metal Gear is the Snake franchise. Yeah, a few of these have had entrees where the lead was someone else but those were spin offs. For this I would argue that a DMC game without Dante would not perform well. I would even put money on it. If you want to see what a potential Nero game would be like just look at DmC. More than the fact that DmCs Dante has more in common with Nero than with OG Dante, including their hair stylist, this is a case of how experimentation with a drastic departure would look like. I'm not talking about the hate. The issue is that DmC is only as successful as it is because of the name it's attached to. It's also only as hated for that same name. The game made money and qualifies as a success but it's also seen as the black sheep of the series. A Nero only game would not receive that kind of hate, sure, but it'd also not get the same love as the more successful games in the franchise. Actually, the time for experimentation is over. If they wanted to try a new lead the PS2 era was the appropriate time. Now it's too expensive to try new things like that. Back then you could try all kinds of crazy sht and you didn't have to worry about going bankrupt.

@@Me-jf2oo I don't think he's the more Orthodox sort of protagonist. He's kind of a snarky asshole with some anger issues. Which is a bit different from Dante (and Vergil since he's not really an antagonist anymore). While Dante does stunt on demons to be silly, Nero does sort of the same thing, though more trying to be cool yet snarky, while Dante is more silly and having fun with it. They aren't that different from each other. With how Nero is now, I don't think he really needs to replace Dante, more like replace his presence in the human world at least for a while. DMC doesnt usually feature just a solo character anyway. I think it's a pretty turn of events, that Sparda left the demon world to be in the human world. And his son's then leave than human world to go in the demon world, and one of their sons is left to finish what was started. He's kind of both their legacy. Vergil by direct blood and Dante by trade and heart. This opens up opportunity to see how Nero handles being the main devil hunter and trying to hold up the expectation of the business he inherited and his dynamic with its partners like Lady and Trish, while Dante and Vergil deal with things in the demon realm. Since it's been a long time the bloodline of Sparda has been in. We can find out more about Sparda and the dynamic of how the demon realm has become since that time and the fall of Mundus.

From the top of my hat, I would say, especially with Itsuno leaving, they should go the remake route with Devil May Cry for the moment, in the same way they're handling the RE remakes. They clearly have a good handle for remakes, the differences in RE2R, RE3R (somewhat) and RE4R show that quite well, and I think a lot of people would want to see those games with a current aesthetic and to fix some storyholes as well as giving them a more coherent style. Plus, where to go from DMC5 onwards? That seems like the full package it seems hard to imagine how to build up on this. A "problem" other franchises don't have. Just add more characters? Go open world? No, I think now, that a new flavour eventually will come and a clear break will be noticeable it will be a better transition through remakes than a hard break from 5 to 6. One thing, I haveto disagree with the dead weight thing, that's only what he's saying, concentrating on. It's not because Dante said it and he's butthurt, he pushes along because even before that he thinks/fears that this is true and Dante saying it basically confirms that fear from an outside perspective, who knows him well, and that's his driving force. The insult is just the surface. I think that was well handled and doesn't come off as shallow. And I also think Nero shouldn't helm the main series but he's still has the potential to carry his own game. I would say let him be the main character of a spin-off series, Devil May Cry - Fortuna Division or something like that, and keep Dante the protagonist of the main series, as it should be. And bring Reuben Langdon back, Capcom, ffs...

I have to agree with everything you said. To add on, I’m glad Itsuno has left since I feel from DMC4 onwards, the games have felt less like Resident Evil with action and demons and more like a shounen anime. Dante also was always intended to be a power fantasy character set in this gothic horror universe, like the Doomslayer, so him being overpowered and not having much invested in the lore is the point. He’s suppose to be someone we jump into the shoes of and kick demon ass which is why DMC1 and DMC3 are still my favorites in the series. Nero, while I like him, is too much like Ichigo and other shounen protagonists which doesn’t deviate Devil May Cry enough from other franchises gaming or non gaming. I would like to see Deluxe Remasters or Remakes of the first four Devil May Cry games but for DMC6 the franchise needs to return to Dante exclusively and bring back the non stop action and Resident Evil like puzzles the earlier games had.

While I like Itsuno I did feel like he held Dante back narratively(and I guess part of that blame could also lay on Bingo Morihashi) and Nero back gameplay wise. Like there's a lot Dante could have done like try to expand his business(which he kind of did between 4&5 by giving Nero the blue neon DMC sign), maybe try to build his own family like his father before him, or Dante discovering what exactly happened to his Dad. Also for Nero Itsuno himself made the decision to not allow Nero to have breaker switching which in my opinion is against the free flow nature of combos modern DMC is know and enjoyed for(there’s a reason DMC 3 has style switching mods and a whole Switch port with style switching as a selling point along with DMC 5 having a breaker switching mod). Not to downplay on mirage slayer Vergil in Peak of combat but it just looks like the devs him Aquila with a slightly different moveset and Force Edge's/Mirage Edge's mid air round trip so I wouldn't call it entirely new. While yes Itsuno was always going to move on I think fans wouldn't have this reaction if Itsuno somehow left a lead successor or something. Along with Itsuno and Dante's main VA Reuben Langdon has apparently retired from acting so at least for western fans like myself and fans who like the western dub of the DMC games whoever capcom gets to replace Dante has some big shoes to fill. It's weird enough having Nero's VA voice Dante in the Netflix show's trailer(not saying Johnny is a bad VA but he's already voicing Nero). As for Nero's motivation in DMC 5 I feel like you didn't give it enough credit as Nero in 5 feels like he has something to prove to Dante and for himself especially after he lost his devil bring(the thing that makes him different from Dante and a decent part of his demonic power/identity that or I just looked to deep into it). Also DMC 4 needs a remake. At the moment Devil may cry is back in limbo.

I'd like to make the argument that Nero is a deeper character than everyone gives him credit for Hes had 2 arcs so far In 4 his arc was learning to accept himself. He hated his demon arm and kept it hidden because he was afraid of being a demon and thought it could corrupt him and make him unworthy of Kyrie's love. Through her acceptance he could find his own. In 5, yes his motivation was being called a deadweight but think about WHY it upset him so much and it makes more sense as to why he was so upset. He couldnt protect Credo, and without Dante he wouldn't have been able to save Kyrie. And to top it all off, someone just waltzed into his garage and ripped his arm off without even a chance to fight. He already feels like he isnt strong enough to protect the ones he cares about, and Dante rubbing it in makes him feel absolutely pathetic and worthless. In 5 his arc is gaining power, in a mirror to Vergil, but unlike Vergil he doesnt lose sight of what its all for. He needs power to protect his loved ones and upon finding out Vergil is his father, his family too. So in a desperate moment to save the only blood family he has left, he unlocks his Devil Trigger to put an end to the Sibling Rivalry, thus ending the Sons of Sparta storyline in the process. Its a beautiful expansion to his character and a lovely ending to the brothers' constant fighting. Nero isnt Dante and thats a good thing, no one could compare to the legendary devil hunter, but to say he's shallow or poorly written is a falsehood i've always hated. I do agree that he should get more additions to his arsenal of weapons though and I hope to see that in future installments. I dont mind if Nero becomes the main protagonist that we mostly follow, but they shouldnt just get rid of Dante and Vergil entirely of course.

To addresses this let me just start by saying personally I preferred his story in 4, which ironically enough at the time the game came out people hated Nero and called him a "Dante clone" or would say that he "cries too much" but if anything I felt that his story in 4 was a little reminiscent of Sparda and Eva. In a way you could argue that Nero coincidentally has more personality traits from Sparda given that he doesn't just make the same mistakes that Vergil made as you've pointed out. Let me be clear in that while I get what they were going for with 5 tbe reason why I personally didn't like it so much was because it felt like on paper it sounds good but then in execution it feels like at least for his part of the story you just go through a watered down Devil May Cry 3. I sometimes jokingly refer to 5 as Nero's Awakening because thr story beats feel similar but worse in the sense that it feels like he's just getting easy hand outs because the plot demands it. I don’t hate the character personally but with 5 I really started to change my opinion on the character a little more because of it. Ultimately that's why I want to see a new director who doesn't have bias for any of the characters or even for new characters and just focuses on giving proper balance between them for the story and over all improves the writing around them. That saod I appreciate you taking the time to write out a more thought provoking comment. Don't really get a whole lot of that.

We'll that's kinda what I was asking for. I think each of the characters should have equal or at least close enough play time to one another rather than the 80/20 split we've had since DMC4. Main reason being is that I do think each character deserves their time to shine not just Nero but also because I think Capcom could easily give them their own story missions plus allow them to go through the other character missions.

My prediction is it will feature Dante and Vergil in Hell and Nero and Lady in the overworld, or if Dante and Vergil arent in it, Lady would have Dante's moveset
@OfficialBioDevil2 ай бұрын
You know I don't think that's too far fetched. Afterall the original storyline for DMC4 was supposed to be much bigger and both Dante and Nero were supposed to have equal amounts of story & play time. One of the things that specifically was cut was Dante going to hell and having to wear a set of winter based gear due to the below freezing temperatures of the circle of hell he was traversing through.

DMC 6 can be explored with Nero doing odd jobs after several years of no demon appearing in human world. Not to mention he could be a father figure better than Vergil. A hardworking father that work to support his family 😂

To be fair DMC4 was originally going to have a similar concept where Dante would be going through hell in his half of the story while Nero would be fighting in the human world.

Sprada's twin story is finished but I don't think they're gonna be replaced or cut off from the future games entirely. It probably mean they already resolved their conflict. And story won't focus on that matter anymore. Look from what the dev did with cameo system in 5. I think It's thier little experiment to see if Co-op would work well for DMC gameplay. So they could implement it better in future game. It would be a huge missed opportunity to not include the twin in hell session if that's the case.
@OfficialBioDevil2 ай бұрын
In terms of the story that's where my problem is mostly. The plot point was reintroduced when technically speaking it was already completed in DMC3. Really I think they should just give of stories that just follow these characters taking on major jobs and focusing on bigger threats which at least seems like it might be the case moving forward. The cameo system isn't even really new from Capcom either since they did something similar to it in Resident Evil 6 back on PS3 & Xbox 360. That said I'd love to see them expand on it and also include bloody palace co op as an option. There's a huge missed opportunity for having co op being a major feature in these games in my opinion.

Imagine a franchise making you play a different new character other then the the original main character... *Metal Gear Solid 2 with Raiden.* In truth I think the games should be like this... DMC6: Nero solo adventure that give him more time to shine to see how he does. DMC7: The Adventures of the Sparda twins in Hell... Focused mostly on Vergil as the main character and Dante as the secondary main character. Gives Vergil a chance to redeem himself for his past actions. DMC8 Lady's night: the in-universe Dante simp aka Lucia (because she is), finds a new threat that she needs help with and goes to ask for Dante to help only to get stuck with Lady and Trish. She complains every so often at the start about how unfair it is that Dante is gone. The three women become a good team, get some character development and upgraded combat mechanics. A chance for them to be the main characters again. DMC9 and DMC10 could either be a Sparda game, another Nero solo game and/or another team up game like DMC5 but with every character. I think we have so many fun characters that there is a lot they could do if everyone gives other characters time to shine.

The problem with Metal Gear as an example is that yes even that was a controversy at the time because people wanted to play as Snake. Granted that came with every re release of 2 but only after the fact. And at least with Metal Gear as a franchise outside of Japan it didn't really take off in popularity until the original Metal Gear Solid. And so in a way you could make an argument where changing changing characters after "the first game" (even though it's technically the third canonical game) isn't as big of a deal. To be fair both Raiden and Nero share one thing in common in that later iterations overall improve build upon the character and lore surrounding them. Personally I'd also say that I do think overall in Metal Gear's case the other characters Raiden & Big Boss aka Naked Snake are far more interesting than Solid Snake.

the safe route is to remaster dmc3 dmc2 dmc1 dmc4. But honestly the story ended perfectly and it should end. I guess the will remake dmc3 coming with the new netflix anime (for strategic marketing) and then hopefully try something new, but going similar style, like having the combat of a dmc but instead its something like jujutsu kaisen'ish, like also similar to something demonic but also not quite to retain most of the audience

I was hoping to get some legit issues addressed with Itsuno's way of developing games and all I got was a very biased and tired take on Nero like if it's still 2008. These games have characters with a lot of depth gameplay wise, but repeating missions and playing bloody palace over and over is painfully shallow and repetitive, and limiting to just 20 missions while adding more playable characters further emboldens this issue and brings up more disjointed development decisions like having to tie in a specific character to a specific mission which automatically restricts another character from being used, and later on give Vergil enough of a tool kit to play all missions without the game breaking. And Vergil being tacked on like he wasn't planned on purpose was a rough way to introduce him as a playable character already in DMC3, it was fine back then, but it got pretty tiring in DMC4 and was just cheap in DMC5. Having more missions for each character, or inventing a brand new game mode (not a brand new difficulty) can really take this game to brand new heights for hardcore fans and newcomers alike. I get the distaste for Nero, I didn't like him that much in 4 but it's been like 16 years, and Nero became a great character to play as in 5. It's time to let this go.

Except for I don't hate Nero and if I did have a "take on Nero like if it's still 2008" I would've said something like "he cries too much" or that "he's a wanna be Dante" but that's not even remotely what I said if you actually listened to the video.

Ironically hideki kamiya is back at Capcom so he could continue the series. DMCVI has the easiest plot to use; Mundus returns from banishment, Dante and Vergil handle the invasion from the underworld while Nero handles it on Earth. Mundas would basically be a jobber now and the tone could be more lighthearted.

It wasn't itsuno's idea to add Nero. After they poured their heart out to make dmc3, They were told by higher ups to make dmc4 instantly after dmc3 was out and they had to make dmc3 SE at the same time, with dmc4's budget . Imagine making dmc3 one of the best video games ever made and then being told to do it again. The dev team were extremely demotivated and tired but then someone mentioned adding a new character which gave them a second wind and that's how Nero was made. He was actually supposed to be more calm and composed like Vergil, and Dante wasn't even supposed to be in dmc4 at all until they realized fans would hate that and decided to add Dante and made Nero more like him, also they gave Dante way more levels then what was intended. I don't see Nero as itsuno's oc (In fact hes the dmc3 team's oc not itsuno's ) , but, I see him as a successor to Dante Just how itsuno's team were the successors to kamiya's team. Not to mention they literally made dmc3 so i trust them the most with Dante's character since dmc3 is the game with the best character development, depth and had the fan favorite version of Dante. I like Nero i think he has the most depth in style play (in dmc5) his mechanics are actually deeper than Dante and Vergil's and i hope he's in future games (except remakes). If u care read the 3142 book!! , it reveals AlOOT about the games developments and shows why they made certain decisions!

@OfficialBioDevil i think, unfortunately video games ride too much on nostalgia for a young media. I think also remakes should be preserved for some obvious jumps in tech: it makes more sense to remake PS1 and SNES games than PS2 games because the experience changes drastically (or is expected to). I think another reboot can progress the series forward while having a fresh start. It won't have some of the confusion of the old series or retcons from the previous series (like DMC3 retconning Vergil, or a clumsy way for him to be Nero's dad). Actually the first reboot did sort bridge the retcons from the old series together. The have the assets to restart it and past mistakes. They also rerelease the old series a lot. I think it's best that the future of the franchise is to take it to the future

I wouldn't say he's a carbon copy but I did feel like Nero's story in 5 was kinda like a watered down version of 3. So sometimes I jokingly refer to it as Nero's Awakening. People also seem to.forget that Itsuno created Nero because he wanted his own character to build upon for the games rather than be tied to what's been established with Dante. It's safe to say he probably took a similar approach to Vergil (even though it's not his character either) to essentially rebrand or remake the character into his vision. It's exactly why I hope a new director won't have character bias moving forward.
