This but unironically
>>712619826
Kumyabe will do it. He was Itsuno's protege and was subtly hinting that they're working on the next game.

*drags balls across your face*

Twitter threads aren't news.

I love DMC but V is complete trash.

So that means we're getting a new DMC6, right?

>>712619740 (OP)
Great combat system, but the linear levels and the only 2 kind of stages (brown destroyed city and brown caves) really killed my vibe.

>>712620039
This. I constantly see it on sale.

>>712620071
No. Sales only matter when they happen when the game is at full price

>>712620049

Ok... so? It's Capcum, they're obviously still not satisfied with DMC series sales despite how many gorillions they sold. This is why they're shitting out MH and RE slop instead.

The last DMC game was 6 years ago. We're halfway to the DMC4 -> DMC5 time gap of 11 years.

>>712620039
Strong lifetime sales are still important. It shows the franchise is accruing many new fans and that people care about the franchise.
This means that DMC6 is likely to have even bigger launch sales than DMC5.

>>712620115
Fix your brightness and screen settings.

>>712619740 (OP)
Whoever made that game cover really needs to be fired.

>>712620246
Capcom had no idea DMC5 would be as big as it ended up being. It was literally a hail mary for the franchise. Capcom knows RE and MH will sell so they have several projects cooking like 5+ years in advance.

>>712619740 (OP)
Doesn't really matter much. DMC doesn't have the sales to be prioritized against another AAA project. Capcom can instead make another guaranteed large hit like Resident Evil or Monster Hunter or try to bet on a new franchise.

Not to mention all the goodwill DMC5 generated was used on Dragon's Dogma 2 and DD2 didn't generate any additional goodwill in return.

>>712620771
>all the goodwill DMC5 generated was used on Dragon's Dogma 2
Wrong, the fucking goodwill was excreted by pajeet fukboi and his shitflix fucking adaptation, which was officialy fucking approved by fucking Capcom

>>712621494
That they approved indian netflix slop already proves there was no goodwill and that they don't value the series.

If the next DMC had fullblown co-op it would do RE numbers, DMC5 is like a third of the entire franchise's sales

>>712621813
The game being designed with real fully integrated coop has the high potential to ruin the single player experience. DMC is one of the last classic big single player franchises left.

>>712621494
You speak like an imbecile.

>>712622017
M13 of DMC5 was really fun. I wouldn't mind a co-op Bloody Palace.
>Co-op BP is a timer-based BP.
>Single Player BP would be the 9999 floors BP from DMC3.

>>712621813
I'd love a co-op game but it sounds like a nightmare to balance the boss battles. But imagine passing an enemy to your partner back and forth instead of juggling them

it took dmc5 6 years to reach 10 mil copies sold (9mil sold at 5 dollars)
it took monster hunter a day to sell 500 billion copies at full price

>>712620317
>change brightness and screen settings
>repetitive destroyed city and cave change too
>turn into castles, jungles, artic, volcano, cathedral and fucking wallmart
>it's magic

Yeah you take too much drug, dude.

>GOW sells 10 million in a week at full price
>DMC sells 10 million over 6 years for $5 sales
Series will never be profitable, back to the cuck shed for the next ten years.

>>712622976
>9mil sold at 5 dollars
Wrong, DMC5 sold over 2 million at launch, almost 3 million in a couple of months and almost 4 million in about a year and a half

>>712623202
Ragnarok costs 200 million in development while DMC5 was somewhere around 25 million. So even if DMC5 made considerable less revenue the profit margins are still nice and the risk to make another game are relatively low.

Meanwhile Sony is getting internally killed by these huge ass super long development time ultra budget movie games because they are always super high risk and take ages to come out and each new installment takes even more budget.

>>712622017
>>712622913
Just bolt on co-op as an unlock for when you beat a difficulty and lock out scores saving. Also yes, co-op BP should be the focus if they're doing co-op. Custom BP too.

>>712623806
Not saying there are no good ways to do it but the chance they are going to make some RE5 type of fuckery or other extreme poor implementation that fucks up the core gameplay is pretty big.

>>712624001
I think remakes are what come first anyway, unfortunately. After that I expect character switching for single player and co-op although I'd like them to keep it single player.

Why is he so good at making Devil May Cry games, but so fucking dogshit at making Dragon's Dogma games?

How do you possibly wind up with a skillset that specific?

>>712624263
>Why is he so good at making Devil May Cry games
only dmc3 is good, dmc4 is okay and dmc5 is absolute trash

>>712624263
Because Capcom rushes games out for shareholders when they clearly need more time in the oven. It's not an Itsuno thing, it's a Capcom thing.
They do it with RE, they do it with MH, they do it with all their big games really.
The impact is not as noticeable on a game like DMC5 because it's a much smaller and more linear game.
Huge games like DD2 and MHWilds are very noticeably affected by this sort of release.

>>712624309
DMC5 is fantastic

>>712624263
>Why is he so good at making Devil May Cry games, but so fucking dogshit at making Dragon's Dogma games?

Because Itsuno's focus on polished gameplay translates extremely badly to ARPG's due to their focus on size and content. DMC is a linear focused action game, it can be made with a relatively small team and budget. I know DD2 was fucked when Itsuno said he wanted it to be Capcom's own GTAV in terms of ambition and interactivty. Its way too big of an undertaking. DD2 is a classic case of a game dev biting off more than they can chew

You're not thinking like a stockholder anon.

Doubt that stellar blade will ever reach those numbers.

>>712624682
Impact on DMC5 could be the linear level design and lack of Trish and Lady.

You guys are aware that Capcom has been saying this for almost a decade in their investor relations documents for investors that this is literally the reason why they're progressively more and more successful each year?

RE7 was the prime example of this, it underperformed on launch, but the reason it's considered so successful, is because it keeps selling at least 1 million each fiscal year since launch.

Discounts drive sales.
