After DmC you think they're going to make some major changes to Dante?
This is a comeback, not a reinvention. I expect a clean-cut look similar to the past games, and of course a cool side-part.
Someone actually took all that time to make a video like that, I'm impressed
I re-visited DMC4 today and I had the same thoughts as well. I think Nero is fun to play as, but juggling the shoulder buttons is a pain. I have to hold one shoulder button to lock onto enemies, hold another shoulder button for charging revolver, and tap yet another shoulder button for the exceed mechanic. I definitely would want to see this become a bit friendlier in the next game (honestly, they should just remove the revolver charging or make it automatic).
The fix is to just make lock on have a toggle option. This way the hardcores won't riot but the new players who are used to Souls games and the toggle lock on feature will just turn on lock on, set and forget play it like its soft lock on.
Elegant and simple. They would just have to fix movement while in lock on so that the new players can at least move around even though that's not how you actually play DMC games (if you are walking then you aren't really playing).

I liked his light beard in 4. Made him look ruggedly handsome.
Nah he was scruffy. Give him the full Chris Evans beard.
Itsuno and his team shouldn't worry about what the fans might think about simple redesigns nor should they fear giving Dante a beard, because the final product DmC Dante problems were never about his hair or his design, it was about the writing, and besides, giving a character a beard isn't a flawed decision anyway, not to mention that it might actually fit Dante.
Seriously, I'm all for criticism but if people blow bearded Dante out of proportion then I'm giving up on the fanbase. Don't.Make.It.About.The.Goddamn.Hair.
I really liked the controls in DmC. And, it's not like it had simply a dedicated launch button; the circle (or B or whatever) button did launchers, yes, but on the air it would make other moves, and each weapon had a different move assigned to it (Aquila's B/Circle move wasn't even a launcher), effectively making it an alternate attack button. Having two buttons dedicated to attacking made comboing much easier. And I never missed the lock-on button either, though I wasn't a fan of L3+R3 for DT (and simply reassigned to R1).
DMC3, DMC4, and DmC were *all* reboots to varying degrees - all intended to be easy jump-in points for new fans.
I think that *to some degree* Capcom needs to accomplish that job by making this feel like a safe place to jump into the series, but they also really need to sell the 'Dante is back, baby' angle without igniting a flamewar about it. Quite a series of PR hoops to jump through.
DMC3 Dante is great, honestly - his design fits nicely with the goofy/cocky asshole persona, and it allowed Yuji Shimomura to do that most-complicated-putting-on-a-coat-ever cutscene.
You're acting like I said the design would make or break the game.
Regardingthe one aspect of the game I'm talking about, Dante's visual design, I think it's obvious that Dante's design shouldn't be too much of a departure from the previous ones, considering the circumstances surrounding the game (10 year wait, DmC Dante being an insult to the character).
This is probably going to be a soft reboot of some sorts too. Either that or it seems like it's going to be an "all encompassing" DMC type game where it's going to be a culmination of all the games so they are going to be trying to get people up to speed.
That's a good comparison, lol. The eagle boss was another moment of "how am I supposed to handle this" but all you gotta do is mash Ebony & Ivory while dodging his simplistic shmup pattern of lasers and boom, easy S rank (and kill time).
Hmm Vampire Aesthetic <3
Mundus returning could be a hint either way.
I don't think Mundus is returning. I know the OP said "Prince of Darkness" but Mundus no longer holds that title and that title could be transferred over. Or maybe the source got it confused with another character, maybe even Vergil is a Prince of Darkness of some sorts.
A wild fan theory..but if DMC V is meant to be more personal for Dante, could it mean he had a child too, like Vergil --> Nero?
Dante ("good") | Vergil ("bad")
? (Prince of Darkness) | Nero ("good")
That second MLG video on the last page had me cracking up.
That sounds like a great game. The current trends in games are not for me.
I remain of the opinion that short, gorgeous, playable recaps of the DMC3/DMC1/DMC4 would be a brilliant addition to DMC5.
Good way to shoehorn in retro boss/equipment unlocks, too.

Shotgun, son ! Shoot it like twice point blank and you're done :D
Oh you...
Knowing what Capcom did with Resi 7, i'm even more inclined to believe that's gonna be the case.
I actually beat DmC for the first time earlier today. I think the controls are fine in general, but there's two things which bugged me a lot:
- I felt it was nearly impossible to target specific enemies in a group. Countless times I tried to grapple the one enemy with a shield, and I had to repeat the process of "Nope, not that one." until Dante actually targeted the enemy I wanted.
- Please don't make me double tap the analog stick for a special move. Stinger is such a basic, vital move to use in a DMC game, but I rarely used it in DmC as I hated the input of double tapping the stick in a direction.
Between the two styles, I think I'd prefer the lock-on system from other DMC games, but I do think they need to do some tweaks to the controls from DMC4 to make it feel less fiddly.
you're thinking this
i'm talking about the stronger version:
Shotgun hardly does anything against him.
Oh yeah, I was thinking about the first one ! By the way, it's two shots for each one of them.
But isn't the shotgun still effective against the second version ? I need a replay... Maybe next year :)
Or you can just Roll Cancel Spam DT'd Grenades at griffon and obliterate him. E&I will do very little unless youre on Normal mode.
Honestly i find playing Nero to be ok on my hands , most likely because theyve gotten used to it , though i agree 5 buttons is mad. But if Capcom dont change it up i'll be ok , it'll suck for newcomers though.
DT'd helm breakers are your friend. Keep your lock on when they do the corkscrew and Dante will show you which way theyre coming from. Just gotta know when to be aggressive and when to back off , theyre tough , especially on DMD.
I agree with this. If anyone needs to show up in full Riker face, it's Vergil. Dante needs to be bachelor scruffy, Vergil needs to be authority beard.
The best enemy throughout all of DMCHey guys lets talk more about iconic DMC2 enemies like... infested tank
/s
Hey guys lets talk more about iconic DMC2 enemies like... infested tank
Still had the best DT though.....
Well, I'm on my first playthrough of the game :)
But yeah, I stay DT'd all the time (and just mashing E&I is enough to refill DT really fast in that fight for some reason).
Been brought up before but if I was Capcom I would go ahead and say DMCV is in development now whether it is or not. The fans care!
Ah then pay no attention to me and play it your way. You can worry about efficiency and all that jazz later.
Dante is a guy with white hair and a long red coat. If they give him a long beard, I hope you are all ready for Santa Claus meme for the next five year.
Don't forget the infested helicopter iconic boss!Hey guys lets talk more about iconic DMC2 enemies like... infested tank
I gave up DMC2 during this boss fight.
