I'm starting to think that they made this game to get the casual gamers in the series. And if you think about it.. Once they announce DMC5, Both of the pro and casual gamers will be looking forward it.

And that's a good thing, isn't it ?

Sure, its just that announcing DMC5 is extremely unlikely.

Why would Capcom want DMC5 to compete with DmC? They are already investing a comic and a movie to DmC.

You never had to do advanced combos at any point in any DMC. You never had to jump cancel.

You are implying that DmC requires you to jump cancel. Please tell me where DmC requires you to jump cancel.

If this is not what you are implying, please clarify and explain why you felt it was necessary to point out that DMC doesn't require you to jump cancel if it is not relevant to your point.

I didn't say jump cancels are required in DmC. I was saying they were never necessary in the old games like the other guy implied.

But, ultimately, the franchise needs that new blood to be interested in future games and stay for the long term. Many of you will argue that the "casuals" picking this game up won't stay on board, but who's to say? Capcom has to widen out and develop new blood if they want to see DMC continue on and be profitable, especially with the industry changing the way it is.

I am fine with reaching out to casuals, the problem is when they do it at the expense of the established fans.

So the point of this game was to bring new players to the series?

I think the point was to try to capture the magic of DMC1. Everything about that game was top notch. The combat was actually one of that game's weak points but it didn't matter because everything else about the game made it a joy to go through. Every aspect of it was very well-designed. The presentation was it's strongest point. I feel that while the later games may have made combat deeper, they lost much of what made the original DMC so great. I feel like they went to a western developer because we were the ones who liked the game the most. America and Europe are the largest consumers of DMC. NT experienced the games as players and they were part of the group that DMC was most well-received. I think they have a better understanding of what made DMC good than Itsuno did. I think that's why NT is an acceptable choice. While their games may not have the deepest combat, they're one of the few companies who can make a game that keeps you moving along on presentation alone. DMC was about getting from point A to point B, not combat. Everything about the design made you want to keep playing to see what happens next. DMC1 is still the most critically acclaimed DMC and I think Capcom wanted to get back to that status or at least try.
