Yes go back in fourth between hell and earth with 4 or 5 playable characters cuz the final boss will be so strong that'll take all of them combining strength anyway

[@mercyweapon3791]

Nero being the one to finally destroy Mundus would be wonderfully full circle.

[@Knightofthewindfan01]

How tho?

[@mercyweapon3791]

​@@Knightofthewindfan01 When Dante defeats him in DMC1, Mundus says he will return. Dante replies by saying "Give my regards to my son" when he does. But for Vergil's son to be the one to constantly break the familial cycles that trap the family, it works. I could see it.

[@thesavior7080]

The issue with that is, Mundus is confirmed dead as far back as DMC2, or more specific DMC Novel 2.

[@mercyweapon3791]

@@thesavior7080 Is it? I read that maybe 17 years ago so I don't recall. I just remember him saying "I will return." I'll have read some wikis. Edit: Ok, yea I saw the book quote. The wiki says his status is "sealed" so I guess we'll see. I'm still down for it though. Trish fighting her creator, Vergil fighting his captor, and the killer of he and Dante's mother, Lady confronting another maternal killer. It could bring a lot of things full circle.

[@thesavior7080]

​​@@mercyweapon3791I typically don't use the wikis for DMC unless the information for that specific character or event is accurate as they don't incorporate other things. For example the DMC Fandom doesn't include DMC PoC as canonical despite the main story being stated to be happening during DMC3 to DMC1 with only the side stories pertaining to alternative realities and alternative versions of characters. As for Mundus, in the second novel Dante is just like, "oh yeah I killed Mundus" or something along those lines and then in DMC Vision's of V the narrator/V confirmed that Mundus was slayed by Dante. For DMC6 I'd rather just have Pluto back with his power and more so. We've seen enough of the Demon Kings, at least the main 2, throughout the series. If not just someone else gaining considerable power to close the power vacuum V left after he merged with Urizen.

[@qtpieluv2]

At the end of dmc5 dante and vergil team up to kill the other demons to continue fighting

[@rookiereviewer]

So do lady and Trish

[@qtpieluv2]

@ they dont

[@kuxxped]

OMG SAME PFP

[@qtpieluv2]

@ what the hell is this

[@jakubtrapp3509]

i had a similar idea my main idea is some parts would be part 1) dante and vergil battle and somehow get trapped in a pocket dimension (like the one where you test combos in dmc5) part 2) somehow nero finds out that they are trapped in the dimension by several mega powerfull demons apeparing and nero beats them all and last one tells dante and vergil are trpped so nero goes to underworld and starts destroying everyone part 3) some more co ops with only trish and lady. nero and trish. lady and nico. nico and lady .nero and lady and last nero and nico part 4) nero accually gets the weapons from devils and he sometimes at the end of some stages gets a change to upgrade themn into neo weapons so like lets say nero gets a hold on rudra and agni so nico can make it neo rudra and agni that make it some technological upgrade but you can still see their normal look in there its just with additional metalis parts part 5)those new villains summon mundus and the new villains die to him empowering him part 6) nero and nico find out that the new villains hidden the weapons of dante and vergi; part 7)so nero goes collecting them and when nero retrieves both devil sword dante and yamato with his arm he absord both into his arm amd reattaches it giving him a sin devil trigger that makes him equall to power with sparda i personally believe that the co op would be amazing but we should have some special character only stages where you figth as only dante .only vergil.only nero (the mundus part would be only nero one) so he kills mundus once and for all and then have dante and vergil appear just to see nero standing over mundus's corpse and tossing vergil his book .gives both their swords and creates himself a new sword thats just red queen but more demonic and with blue acents simplly called "fortune" as a callback to his home fortuna island

[@RACH90810]

Dante and Vergil fused together. Trish revealed to be Sparda in Eva's body and Lady had been fused with her father long time ago. 😊

[@rodrigopereira5488]

My personal wish for DMC 6 story, would begin with Nero going on a demon hunting and then two mysterious figures come to confront him, meanwhile Dante and Vergil are wandering through hell and then discover more things about their father's fate. Later on we discover those two figures to be Dante's hidden twin daugthers( Don't ask me who's their mother). Finaly Nero and the Twins are found in a situation they need to fight mundus. While Dante and Vergil found traces of Sparda's power and even fight an avatar of him. Gameplay wise Dante,Vergil and Nero stays the same with minor new stuff add to them, Dante - new weapons, Vergil - I would like doppleganger to be a style adding quick silver and a new style for vergil and new weapons, Nero - More devil breakers, and finaly the new twins they would be in the screen simultaneosly and we can switch between them, one would be focused on melee and the other on ranged, but both of them would use melee and ranged but weaker them the focused one. as for their characterization it would be simple one wears white and the other black. and that's it. Sorry for my poor english and hope you guys can undestand.

[@pokemonsonicgirl123]

Okay now why would Dante have twin daughters with an unknown woman? If anybody wanted to see any future Sparda offspring, they'd be looking at Nero and Kyrie's potential future children (I'm hoping for a daughter for them).

[@MOTIVATED_VERGIL69]

8:10 that is actually one of the few co-op sections in DMC 5. I once played that mission with some other guy while I was V, it was pretty fun. Also they did that co-op thing in a whole for the bloody palace in DMC 3 SE on the switch. There's some pretty cool combo videos with that here on YT.

[@aauX.eks2950]

Fun fact: Netflix said that the anime will come out on April this year

[@sundaytube4007]

Yep My birthday

[@Meldrick-jv7sy]

Cool.

[@andrewgrime8389]

If DMC6 was an actual game instead of a combat simulator that'd be lovely. Create a devil hunter hub area where you meet other devil hunters that exist within the universe, take on sidequests/hunts that are seperate from the story mode, make individual levels more expansive and just fill those level with optional fights, cool unlockables you can find (costumes, weapons, tracks, playable characters, extra cutscenes, etc.). It'd be like a mix between FFXVI and MonHun, but with the style and (expanded) combat system of DMC. Release the game on all platforms and the job's done.

[@Dirty_Nero_Main]

Great video, man. IMO, the story of DMC6 should have multiple running plots: Dante & Vergil in Hell, and Nero taking on an apprentice who turns out to be Dante's daughter with Beryl. Eventually, after the end of both plots, the four Spardas meet by accident at a pizza place. Dante managed to return to Earth via a shattered piece of the Yamato post DMC2. The reforged sword should do the trick. Then, we get Lady, Trish, and Lucia for the Bloody Palace in DLC, maybe. Plus, Breaker Switching could use a limited magazine to manage resources, maybe?

[@JeremyTheBreadKnife]

Please give us polished lady and Trish as characters oh my God:o

[@Diop-o9i]

Elden ring opened world dmc5 combat

[@paytoneckard2583]

Dante hasn't slept with anyone and dante wouldn't have a child because he is to focused on killing demons and eating pizza but is also foolish

[@mjmatiz4955]

My headcanon is that dante and Trish already have a kid and they just hid her/him away for save keeping because of their line of work.(and maybe the kid ends up at the orphanage nero and kyrie run) a Sparta prequel game would be cool too. Also we never really find out if dante and virgils mom *actually* died maybe it's like a dq 5 situation and Sparta is looking for her.

[@samuelebizzocchi6151]

@@Dirty_Nero_Main Sorry, who's Beryl?

[@Mardini7v]

The execution mechanic goes against what DMC all about, There is a reason why DMC fans consider DMC4 the peak of fighting mechanics with all the control you have like air inertia keeping the player in control all the time performing combos exactly how they want, While having one button prompt initiating execution animation the player lose control just watching the action unfold, Don’t get me wrong i like the idea in general for action games but I think for hardcore DMC fans it’s gonna be hated

[@Zetact_]

It's also, like, "That already exists in the game? Just end the fight with the move of your choice." If someone says, "Oh but what if I want a unique animation for each enemy?" then you just point to Nero's Buster. DMC5 even slows the camera and zooms in for the final hit so if you land a cool hit for your final attack you get a cool shot. I think that those sort of things are value neutral in action games, they don't necessarily remove much from combat since usually the game is designed where the execution is only triggered when the enemy is close to dying anyway, but also they don't tend to really add much that can't be conveyed either by making the base moveset more interesting or just making it a cutscene.

[@enigmatictrash]

An open world dmc where you actually run dmc and take contracts around city. Of course thered be a story line but having the open world factor would be awsome even if its like a yakuza style

[@Paradox_Alucard]

I'd honestly love that, cause the whole shop of DMC has always been a backdrop but it barely ever actually has a real plot point or use in the story except for when it's actually convenient as a plot device, so seeing it transform into a part of the gameplay would be a fun idea.

[@YamagiHQ]

Always thought DMC6’s story should have Nero discovering and fighting other Devil hybrids like himself because I remembered that Nero was originally supposed to be evil like Vergil but It was scrapped because of the existence of Kyrie. So making new hybrid characters that weren’t as lucky as Nero who was adopted into a loving family would be super interesting.

[@XavierParton-v2e]

for example, if Dante had a daughter

[@samuelebizzocchi6151]

Ngl the idea of other half-demon people found in hell sound Pretty Fire to me

[@Ariff_Playz]

The things I want to see is DMC6 and a Sparda Prequel Game. I wanna see how Sparda faced all the demons in the Underworld and defeated Mundus.

[@Bubba_1776]

I don’t want to see his story. It’s the mystery and Dante trying to learn more about it. If anything I’d be interested to see that sparda was the villain along. And Vergil was actually following his footsteps all along. But was changed due to Dante’s and his human side.

[@liittlemac]

A Sparda game would be a great way to bring all the old bosses back and have SPARDA fight them

[@idfkimaclown]

@@Bubba_1776Sparda being the villain all along is a pretty bad plot twist I’m gonna be honest, it seems like an extremely bad retcon that screws over his very motivation that caused him to defect from Mundus, that being humanity’s compassion.

[@Jimboh1637]

1:34 I think for something like in the fly character switching and dual takedown moves I feel like holding R3/RSB(holding right switch would replace activating auto assist mode) and holding L3/LSB(would replace the next objective finder vision thing). I don't want another DMC 3 mission 19 Arkham boss Vergil situation. 4:12 I feel executions wouldn't work for Dante or Vergil as they are more about being stylish/efficient. But Nero already has buster moves so adding special execution buster moves would work for him(maybe even have execution change depending on how high your style members is). As for what I want for DMC 6 -character selection for all missions for the difficulty you finish >co op blood palace >give Dante, Vergil, and Nero the free ride move(Dante the standard DMC 3 free ride but you can also choose to do fire works while free riding, Vergil would be able to use summon sword moves while free riding, and Nero could use blue rose& his DT summon swords&exceed free fire like in the DMC 4 cutscene) -boss rush mod(solo and co op) -better/more aggressive enemies(I didn't like the standard enemies in 5 compared to all the ones in DMC 1, half the ones in 3, and the Angelos and frost in 4) I like the Angelos, lizards, and sin scissors in 5 but that's it -bring back unique death animations from dmc 1(and have them be skip-able) -yellow orb or gold orb option -stop giving the player free gold orbs(I have over 200 gold orbs in DMC 5 that I never use) -giver Vergil Greg nelo sword -bring back wall running for Dante and expand on it -have demons take battle damage and have said battle damage effect how they act(like in ninja gaiden and doom eternal) -have actual alt costumes -bring back a gothic art style/vibe mixed -optional must style toggle -breaker seitching -plot: Mundas teams up with some evil satanic scientist to make Cyber-demons, Dante and Vergil have to take care of Mundas while Nero has to take care of the evil scientist and his creation >infested tank 2.0 and infested chopper are just transformers whol combined into bruticus(something like the agni and rudra bosses)

[@giwi4]

That Nero gameplay at the start looked so sick

[@Themotivatedone87]

For the idea where you switch characters, if dante is in it, how does he switch with every possible button taken?

[@bronylexicon8485]

Probably have to remap some buttons, or use the good ol' L3+R3 combo

[@Dirty_Nero_Main]

You can create a toggle feature like Dark Slayer in DMC4 for styles selection. D-pad Down for Royal Guard & Trickster, D-pad Right for Gunslinger and Sword Master.

Yo zero thank you for popping up in my stream today, and I really appreciate the dono man, it means a lot:) and I have to say that these are cool ideas, it heavily reminds me of the death execution that were committed against Dante in dmc 1 depending on the enemy you were killed by.

[@Aczie042]

I feel so vindicated right now. At the launch of Devil May Cry 5 I suggested that DMC6 should be about Dante and Virgil going through hell and I am so glad that everybody's on the same page with me almost 6 years later.

you are describing the arkham "companion" and nu-GOW companion together

[@voltcosta7418]

The nero ground execution idea would be a ref to dmc 4 when he punched Dante a shit ton of times xD

[@thememays3285]

I'd like to see some sort of resurrected demon lord sparda functioning like a demon king piccolo who's been reborn perhaps with the memories of sparda when he served along Mundus or one with NO memories at all. Him retraumatising the brothers and probably doing something along the lines of what urizen did to Lady and Trish transmutating them into disciples. Whilst Nero need's to power scale his way to meet sparda's level and travelling to the demon world, something predominantly related to his human physiology bolstering his demonic power.

[@TheGodQuac]

Dante and Vergil are gonna crank 90's in 2025

[@krissimon4466]

What if there’s a funny interaction where Dante and Vergil try to cut a specific root from the tree and Vergil is unable to cut it so he’s confused so Dante laughs at him then tries to cut it himself but then like he gets launched away for like some reason

I hope they dont rush this game to fully bring out DMCs best combat mechanics

[@shanebluesky7452]

I have huge hopes from kamiya. Please bring back the coolest demon hunter you made❤

[@Arcana_zero_studios]

I hope when Nero inevitably gets Devil arms, they all tie into his theme of having aspecifuc HUD element attached to his main weapon. A pair of electric gauntlets (I got inspired by the Lou Garou demon from SMT 5) and the more you attack enemies without getting hit you build meter, when activated Nero will move and attack faster as well as hit harder relative to how much meter is built and there are moves locked behind meter requirements. However it passively drains as Nero runs around, gets hit or swings without attacking anything, so you can turn it back off to conserve the meter at the cost of using the weapon at its base power and speed instead of your current level of meter. A trick weapon with multiple stances (more inspiration, this time from NioH and its sequel with their low mid and high stances) that are cycled between by holding what would've been the Rev Button and using the D-pad (the remaining space goes to using breakage if Nero still has Devil breakers at his disposal). The weapon transforms when you enter Devil Trigger and effectively has a moveset that is a more extreme version of whatever your current stance would trade off. Low stance goes all in on speed, evasion and rush down but loses most of your range, you can't block attacks via clashing and have limited jump power, but you get a trickster style teleport/distance closing move. High stance is slow and unrelentingly strong, rewarding defensive play with a block/parry move and punishing openings in the enemy's guard, but again it's very slow, Nero loses table hopper and you have to learn the parry to fully utilize the kit. Mid stance is an inbetween that let's you tap into both at the cost of your upsides being less than what they could've been if you chose hig or low instead, at the trade-off of having less punishing downsides. It's a jack of all master of none with access to a watered down version of everything. Nero basically has to activate and/or deactivate Devil Trigger without exploding if you want to swap the weapon's form mid combo or just, on the fly.

[@House_of_Green]

Yep! Just give me real co-op, they teased the hell out of us. Just let us co-op Dante n Vergil in hell

[@Zy2879]

4:54 so basically for what V does with his cane when he does finishers on bosses and npcs but you implicate that with nero, vergil, And Dante where they have certain finishers on certain enemies or bosses.

[@SuperKamiGuru831]

I believe in Dmc 3 with the doppleganger ability you can control the clone with a second controller

[@XavierParton-v2e]

I have spent a lot of time thinking about what I'd like to see in a DMC 6. first things first: new characters Shade, Lumina, Lilith. Shade would use weapons made out of darkness and would uses extreme speed, have base combos link together, and have a counter system (his favorite weapon is a halberd). Lumina is the polar opposite of shade despite them being twins. she uses light as weapons, uses a more in-depth parry system (she loves her glaive). Lilith has something like a style switch system instead of styles though she uses the elements fire, ice, lightning, water, steel, and rock. they are individual demons that she had subconsciously made in her youth. these elements effect the environment and interact with each other. (she has an affinity with dual wielding weapons, but she doesn't use guns of even move in order to use her elemental skills). and that is just the tip of the iceberg

[@alejandrovarela4332]

If nero faced against Mundus It be cool if instead of killing him, he found a way to send him to the underworld with dante and vergil, and the end credits are you beating Mundus as the sparda twins

[@lppstudios3006]

I wana see Lucia in DMC 6 she’s been hella forgotton and she deserves a second chance 🗣️🔥

[@Ornches]

I would love a story of a sequel with a combination of a prequel. Hell is out of control and Vergil/Dante have the most important asset in the demon realm. The Yamato. They are under persistent hunt for power/escape from demons to human realm. Quickly after cutting the roots/on the journey they find themselves exhausted from constant attack. The plot: Vergil I need more power Dante I need an Ally The demon realm: A unbeatable force of Nature Fast forward: We can call the Game Devil Man Cry Zero:The Black Knight and Smith. Narrated by Vergil/new character named later (blacksmith): From Vergil POV Vergil starts a quest of ultimate power to protect himself. Based on what we seen from him in the past might is right. Him and Dante separate. We get the tale of the legendary Demon smith(new character ) Vergil Hunting the ultimate Demon weapon. In this effort he hunts the black smith who created sparada’s unique weapons. We don’t see it until Dante’s tale ends. From the Dante pov We get the tale of demon knight, Dante knows Sparada is alive and seeks him out. Here Dante has to go through the seven deadly sins of Sparada’s imprisonment. The last sin Wrath is Sparada.(Dante doesn’t know)Once Dante impales him: there’s a twist. He only become stronger absorbing the demon power from Demon Arm Dante. He regains his memories, but in this defeats/imprisons Dante. Think of the hell Gate/Arms as a force of nature. The replace themselves as along as they exceed the power of demon realm. Essentially they are the real demon king. Mundus was never a real force of power just a tyrant/powerful demon. I’ll elaborate later Vergil returns Here is when we are introduced to The Calm before the storm. Demon Arm [placeholder] (I’m thinking folding Demon wind shuriken like the Naruto series Zabuza arc) Cutting open the seal that kept Dante trapped. Dante’s is freed before the battle Wrath states: Ahh the Yamato the final weapon to return to the appropriate hands. Vergil is confused… Here we get a three way battle between the trio. You can tag in/out as Dante & Vergil vs Wrath. Wrath is so powerful that when he devil triggers he regains his health. You can die as Dante/ Vergil but if both die you lose. He’s that difficult. Make it so that he has the rebellion, forced edge, and Yamato as mirage weapons.(purple) After defeating the newly powered Sparada/Wrath. He seems to get back on his feet. However the brothers are so exhausted vs a force unable to be defeated. He tells them the truth that neither can leave this place unless one decides to replace pride and defeat him. The gates of hell are force of nature only a powerful proxy demon can sustain/prevent the human/ demon world collapsing on one another. He also provides them the option to return the Yamato/rebellion. He believes Vergil doesn’t deserve it after DmC 5 Urizen. They can return to the human realm without their devil arms. With the option to live From there capcom can do as they like with the plot. (Options are below as follows) Introduce a new demon ancient as pride(final boss) or do a twist where the blacksmith was pride the entire time. Just testing the boys. Create a devil knight prequel plot line to tell more story of why sparada was forced to stay. (DLC ) Figure out a conclusion of why Vergil/Dante might stay in demon realm or give them a peaceful ending were the worlds are separated. No more demons in human realm officially. End of DMC. I don’t care too much for Nero. Maybe you can do a plot line where he has another game like the reboot. Demons left over are a problem and he has limbo powers like reboot Dante Doesn’t matter as much to me because a lot of potential there. I just wrote this up in 5 mins.

[@kindagamer525]

13:16 What do you mean "battery life"? Devil Breakers don't have any hidden durability or energy meters, they just break if you get hit while using or charging them. The closest things to a "battery life" mechanic I can think of are how Overture does less damage if you don't let it recharge for a sec and how you can only ride Punch Line for so long before it explodes. But even so, Overture's recharge is so fast and it's so obvious when Punch Line is approaching its limit that it definitely doesn't warrant a whole new UI element. 14:16 The Pasta Breaker's basic attack actually already does this, too bad it's locked behind paid DLC. 15:34 Isn't that just a Heavy Rain Blades reskin? 16:26 Erm, akshually... it's called a "Provocation" in the movelist ☝🤓 17:16 There's already a way to change the battle tracks for each character in DMC5. Just go to Gallery>Jukebox from the main menu to change it. Though you do need to buy most of the tracks with real money to unlock them, which really sucks.

[@samuelebizzocchi6151]

Honestly i think a DMC1 remake could work, especially looking at the quality of the more recent Resident Evil Remake. As long as they keep the updated combat system from DMC 5, improve the grafics, and expand the weapon roster, it can turn out to be really cool. Althought I don't really see who would really want a remake like that, it's not like the first DMC had like an amazing location that it'd be a waste not to bring back, or some kind of awsome story that anyone crave to see in a new fashion. I just don't see what's in DMC1 that would convince anyone to make a remake instead of a new game. Same goas for the others too: Nobody wants a remake of those failures that are DMC and DMC2, DMC3 still holds up to this day, and so does DMC4.

[@teken020]

Next dmc game should be a prequel about spartan. Capcom should do what Kojima did with mgs

[@tristano_227]

I always had this little wish that Dante & Vergil would find Sparta in hell. Mundus would be the villain of the game but Sparta would be the one portrayed as the villain (from Dante & Vergil's perspective in hell). Nero would be cleaning up the stray demons and protecting innocents from harm with Niko, Lady, and Trish (we could possibly get a cutscene with Kyrie). Mundus would speak to Nero (expecting Dante) only to realize he's a "new kin of Sparta". After destroying the roots of the Qliphoth Sparta's identity would finally be revealed and he would explain his imprisonment by Mundus, after being freed Sparta & twins (lmao) would find their way back to Earth and giving the others context on Mundus's return (Trish & Lady would inform Nero on who Mundus is). Sparta could be playable, the unique weapons that would come out of it would be awesome. I mostly just want more context about Sparta's past and a revenge motive to kill Mundus once and for all (avenge their mom). It's simple but there could be other stuff, maybe a disciple of Mundus, obviously new enemies, it would be cool.

[@RalphFinchi]

I don't like the idea of these one button executions. One of the key points of DMC is that despite the game looking very cinematic, it's all pure gameplay. All the cool stuff that happens on the screen was made by YOU. And this just sounds like oversimplification of what already exists and letting the game play itself. You don't need Vergil's one button super from MVC3. You can do it yourself. RIght now. Do Yamato Combo C + Blistering Blades. All that we need is just more solely gameplay moves that can be made into cool finishers. Like the one that Dante has, when he shoots a shotgun backwards. This move barely has any purpose outside of being a finisher. And it's still cool as hell. And it takes skill to integrate it into combos properly.

[@Dark-l1w]

Forget the video am I the only one that didn't know that you can catch vergil when he's flying in the last mission when you play as nero I have been playing this game for so long and I don't know Wait catch vergil in mid air☠️☠️

[@meliodas3909]

Is anyone going to ask why dante from the dmc anime sounds like nero

[@KishiSora]

i like the idea of finishers id just add it being a toggle maybe you hit l3 and r3 to turn it on and off so you can pick and choose when this happens. another antagonist : mundus son? or just an overly intelligent demon maybe a hive mind type. i don't think Nero should take a back seat but instead maybe have the option to switch from the demon world team (Dante and Vergil) fighting they're way to whatever would allow them to return to the surface to the surface world (Nero) who is cleaning up demon slaying requests -Nero starts running into these hivemind enemies and hears them speak starts interrogating one and finds out they are trying to take over the surface world, so Nero starts thinking of ways he could contact Dante and Vergil to let them know and help out and Nero does get to go to the underworld but right as he does the screen switches over to d&v finally getting out of the underworld and they go to find Nero but lady and Trish tell them Nero went to get them so its now up to (player choice here) Dante or Vergil to defend the surface while the other goes to save and retrieve Nero and after a couple missions Nero and whoever come back and find the other beaten and thrown to the ground by the big boss man and an almost final battle ensues but they lose and the big boss man says "aww, devil gonna cry?" and it ends like that leading into dmc7 where the continuation of that fight is the tutorial and right after the title pops up and it says DEVIL MAY CRY 6! you hear laughing and see 3 red orbs in a triangle and red fire wings behind them hinting that maybe the hivemind is planning to resurrect mundus And Argo sacs together. and i think it should be a double open world both the surface world and the underworld. finally after completing the game once, you can at any point backtrack to anywhere you want with onslaughts of demons everywhere secret bosses and new and old enemy types, any character will get radio notification's of side quests points of interest where people need help from demons and you get blue or purple orbs that way. there's a speedy travel that when locations are unlocked gain fast travel options Nero gets picked up by Nico Vergil cuts open a portal and Dante rides a motorcycle you wouldn't HAVE TO do this tho you could just run plenty of platforming parkour and the whole place would be like bloody palace on the go with environmental effects like crashing threw walls or some roofs riding enemies like in dmc 3 you could take the sewers or ride on top of a train and fight on it unending possibilities. i think you should be able to help lady and Trish in late game too and then they become playable too they just cant join the main story any more than they normally would have they should add dlc's of every different weapon type from previous dmc games like Agni and Rudra lucifer even let Vergil get a couple new weapons. i when with the switching from team a to b as you wish cause maybe your doing a mission your not a fan of and want a break or your getting board of waiting around for an elevator and decide to see what Vergil's up to oh hey hes MESSING UP SOME DEMONS ON THE SURFACE!. i think it could keep the action rolling big time. and after completing the game roadblocks that prevented you from running off coarse from the story are now gone so you could actually join up with other characters MANNED BY OTHER PLAYERS and decide to help them then just run off and do your own thing when your done.

You might like the Ys games if you like character switching. Though it took them until the latest game Ys X (that's 10) Nordics to continue combos with a character switch. They attack as soon as you switch places.

[@jetstreamvergil6247]

My personal opinion I think dmc 6 should be open world and apocalyptic

[@JcgLounge]

I hope they continue the “linear path” method for the story and not go back to the metroidvania, backtracking idea from the older games.

[@Zetact_]

With no Itsuno, no Reuben and no Suzuki? My pitch would be, "Let's just not."

[@youraveragenerd536]

Crazy idea: if we could get 6 characters playable as duos would be neat: Dante Vergil Trish Lady Nero New character (OR Lucia from DMC2)

[@sueflewelling3657]

Great video zero ps do you know evil dead regeneration?

[@DianaProudmoore]

Double takedown of Dante and Vergil would be like the DMC3 Vergil borrowing a gun from Dante and saying Jackpot~ Of course, they do attacks like in the Arkham fight before it~

*disclaimer* - I have only played 5 and 3’s nintendo-switch release, and there will be many, MANY traces of other media I like, please understand and accept this, because this idea might suffer from these traits, and oh yeah, this is basically my idea for dmc6 with no restraints, it’s like if i was in Itsuno’s place & this is what I can come up with. This comment will be split into 4 parts, the others will be in the replies. This is more my idea, This comment is part 1 of 4 - it contains a basic overview of the game’s structure and such, on top of the lore scene (like the legend of sparda at the beginning of one). I’m gonna put my own idea here, but first of, the most important thing to understand is that i’m using a format I came up with for my own suggestion for a hack-&-slash game based on a show I grew up with (Ninjago). Essentially the game is split into 3 campaign’s, the first is 15 mission’s focused on one character, and the other 2 are 20 mission’s and are focused on 2 characters. New to this suggestion is a prologue and an epilogue, focused on the first and last campaign. And hopefully most of these missions can be played using any character, at least after beating the level on “son of Sparda”. The first important thing to note is enemies, there will be several, and I do mean several, different types. The way they are is sorta like doom eternal though, but they will look different in each campaign, and the 2nd and third campaign’s will add extra variations to the already present enemies. The next is level design, I’d like to keep the split up level’s that can be found in 5 (and to my knowledge the reboot), but a bit more of the variety from the previous game’s will be added, as well as key item’s, Combat arena’s are some of the most changed part’s, some are like they are in 5, while many others might be more elaborate, not super complicated, but more like some of the ones in ultrakill (ala the base of the fallen tower on 7-2 or the red-skull room in 1-3). Finally for this part is the foundation of the story laid out in the “Lore scene”: A mysterious voice ask’s if you want the whole story or just the good part, asking for the whole story gets the “legend of Sparda (and Mundes)”, but afterwards it gets to the “good part”, which is described as “an almost forgotten prelude to the tale”. It display’s what was king before Mundus, the demon king Diablo, a trio of entities referred to as… the Ruler, the Beast & the Seer, When together they surpass all other demon’s, other than one’s who consumes a Qilppoph fruit, but beyond that no other demon could hope to defeat them, One of the most most important part being “They reigned with wraith that would burn those above, with gluttony and greed in their eyes, with a lust to last into the bowl’s of eternity, while sending all that make them feel envy into oblivion until they could fade into a pile of sloth, in the end building the chain’s and anchor’s that would down them down with their pride… allowing a messiah of the demon world to take hold of the very demon that they empowered so they could reach the world of man” The whole point being made is that a demon, mundus, was able to build an army of demons and with the help of a new right-hand man to rip a hole to the human world and growing a Qlippoth tree until it bore fruit, and with the power it gave Diablo was smited, “The seer was made to submit by the dark knight, His existence was to be used as a tool. The beast was burned into near oblivion by the new king’s might, His existence reduced to almost nothing, not even able to sing his own sirens-call, & the ruler punished worst of all, banished by both, sealed in a vault of Gilgamesh with the knight’s blade, left to be one with a void created by the king in shade*, locked in an ocean at the deepest part of the underworld, Where reality fades, where the leviathan laid, where pain would fade into remorseful serenades, Lost in Limbo, as it would be named” It shouldn’t be hard to guess who the antagonist’s will be. *i was gonna make it rhyme by calling Mundus the “prince of shade” but i then realized that i could make it “king in shade” as a reference to the “king in yellow”.

[@Beowolf-jy5rc]

ok, so quick thing, for bloody palace you could have it work like ULTRAKILL's Cyber-grind, select a play-list from song's in the game, and some original's.

[@blaster3190]

The execution reminds me of torture attack from bayonetta where you press both attack buttons to do a finishing move on angels. That would be cool for dmc. The character switch mechanic would be best if it was similar to yakuza 0 where there's 2 storylines; 2 characters that switch between each other but intertwine into a similar goal between the characters and they'll eventually interact. For my idea for dmc is better replayability. The chapter based gameplay loop breaks the flow state for me and having it be semi open world. Maybe like neir automata where it's open world but you can select the the points of the past story and replay it.

[@Zetact_]

Stage based is what makes for the replayability, though. Being able to grind out a stage aiming for an S Rank is a huge part of the game. If anything it's just the leniency of DMC5's S Ranks being tied exclusively to Style ranking while not caring about time, red orbs, or damage taken that might be why the S Rank grind in the game isn't as engaging. Now, I get why the other criteria were dropped since time limits the player's freedom and might make them fixate on efficiency rather than fun and the orbs/damage criteria directly relate to Style points. DMC games are designed to give you three or more playthroughs even as a casual fan, by pushing you to challenge higher difficulties, and if you really want to get deep into the game you can aim for the S Ranks either in just one difficulty or if you're super dedicated on every difficulty, so I don't see how that makes for bad replayability. People already can put hundreds, even thousands, of hours into these games and you think they need more replayability? How? Remember that a design philosophy of the first game was inspired by people playing at the arcade for high score and Itsuno has kept that mindset throughout, in spite of other ways he's evolved the franchise identity. Ironically while I think "Time" is one of the trickier things to bring into scoring criteria, it's the criteria that would be most natural to bring back since it not only is distinct from Style, but it also ties in with the modern gaming equivalent of people playing for high score, which is speedrunning. I think that the DMC5 ranking system would still be fine, just rework it so that firstly it's not so easy to leap straight to S Rank (if you know what you're doing you hit S Rank in like five seconds, which ruins the dynamic music system) and also make it so the style points you need to S Rank the stage are matched to the stage itself, and ideally that instead of being an average of rank across encounters for it to be a running total. Since grinding for S Ranks is specifically for the intrinsically motivated, I think that there could be experimentation in adding more rewards for those who are extrinsically motivated. Not limiting gameplay, but stuff that kinda makes sense in the game design space. Cosmetics is an obvious choice but also since there are some elemental properties in the games already (fewer in DMC5, intentionally so) you could lean into that and make it so that if you clear a stage with an S Rank you get a weapon mod that changes the properties of your attacks - it wouldn't really change the gameplay experience but it would be a tangible reward for those who demand one. Making a game more "open world" would mean a few things: firstly, you'd need to restructure the game such that it doesn't break the pacing. Suppose you want to open up DMC3 and fight Agni and Rudra - all you need to do is slide over to mission 5 on your preferred difficulty and select it. If DMC3 had no mission structure but simply placed the Temen-ni-Gru as a hub world, you'd need to boot up the game, walk all the way to the "Agni & Rudra" section, maybe fiddle with menus to modulate difficulty, and then get started on the path to the boss. Another problem is that enemy encounters are deliberate within a structured action game. Encounters are designed with arena geometry, a difficulty curve, and specific mixes in mind. Now, Bloody Palace having developers build out sets of encounters with a scaling difficulty that work in a flat environment shows you COULD have an open world without losing the enemy design but then there's the issue of how the open world and action segments are kind of stepping on each other's toes - you either have to interrupt exploration to do combat, or skip combat to do exploration. Making a way that they both would work in the same system would require being rather methodical in having them build into each other - not impossible, but often more trouble than its worth. I don't think an open world stylish action game is impossible and it could be a good idea but you'd need to figure out a way to rework it to not hurt the pacing. It wouldn't feel like DMC but a different action game where for instance you have open world segments that lead into dungeons that are more combat-focused and give you a performance ranking after clearing them, and clearing a dungeon opens it up as something you can replay just by going into a menu might work. But at that point it's just an action game with extra steps, literally.

I would like like dante and vergil fighting eachother who is gonna fight the villain first then they lose but at the end of the game they fight the main boss together Like goku and vegeta or something idk

[@josuan0138]

I will think this co-op switch character will be better. When you get SSS, lock on with another character, get close enough to unlock Dual Combo Special with specific weapon they got on rn. After combo is finish, that when the switch happens. I feel daul takedown doesn’t seen it would fit DMC. It all about combo.

[@arushamshafeeq9428]

For execution you could take inspiration from either god of war or doom

What would be cool is if dante has a son and Mundus comes back and that dante his son and nero join up to send mundus back to hell again

[@ivqry12]

dmc3 was Dante's game, dmc4 was Nero's game, dmc6 should be Vergil's game. maybe even a backstory for Vergil. I just think he should be the main character.

[@Flow_Is_Cool42]

I don't know about you but I'm hyped for the anime :)

[@thedevilsleutice]

Why not do a spin off Devil May Cry Lady’s Night. Just have a side game that sets up the sons of sparda to return, and have it be about Lady and Trish getting their home boy back while Nero is busy trying to settle down with Kyrie.

1) the entire of concept of DMC gameplay is player control. All the cool stuff you do is YOU the player pulling it off. It’s not a one button quick action. You want to look good? Then learn the moves. Executions go against the very HEART of DMC. Also I don’t think the switching characters in combat is going to work. You are limited by buttons on controllers and switching character play styles that quickly is going to make things very difficult. 2) Anyone who thinks that Dante and Vergil’s story is over ignores the fact that DMC is built around Dante. You would piss off a TON of fans by saying Nero should solely take over. Now I’m not saying Nero shouldn’t be a main character. I’m just saying we finally have a chance to have Vergil playable from the BEGINNING of a DMC game without waiting for the Special Edition. 3) as for story you could have Dante and Vergil find someway to contact Nero to try and get them out of the underworld. So you are switching between Nero in the human world and Dante and Vergil in the underworld. You can bring back Mundus (he is not dead but sealed between the realms) and most importantly we don’t know what happened to Sparda. He’s presumed dead but we don’t know HOW he died. 4) Uhh you do know you can change the music right? I had Devil Trigger playing for a long time while grinding red orbs because I was trying to learn the lyrics by heart.
