What makes DMC5 such an enduring classic?

>>725161251 (OP)
Reminder that Keiji Inafune wasn't happy with the sales of DMC4, blocked DMC4: Special Edition, and pushed for an outside Western company to make the sequel. The disaster that was DmC led to the series being put on ice for about a decade.

peak of the genre and basically the best finale a long running franchise could ever hope for, it's so good it retroactively makes the older games even better, the amount of love and care that went into it is insane and I wish DD2 could have gotten the same treatment

He was also the producer on Yaiba Ninja Gaiden Z and put that franchise on ice for a decade too

>>725161554
To be fair, DMC4 was too japanese. There's a reason 5 is the best-selling DMC by an extreme longshot.

>>725161554
I've heard about him being responsible for DmC specifically, but the DMC4 stuff is new to me. I thought that was the president of Capcom's idiot son thinking 2 platforms = 200% sales!

DMC4s more colorful anime'like visuals were partly due to Vergil's popularity. In the DMC artbook the devs actually talk about how worried they were westerners wouldnt like Vergil due to being too weeb. And they were shocked by how beloved he was

I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING

capcom management is full of total fucking retards

Funding DMC6 too expensive, have 10 new Resident Evils, please understand..

>>725163805
more like ruin monster hunter have a new resident evil with a girl boss and lets remake re 1 again or some shit
god I hate them

Itsuno fucked it all up with his arrogance of getting another shot at his shitty idea guy game. Devil May Cry should be one of the easiest AAA games to make among them all since it's so extremely classic and limited in scope, yet they rather invest in unsustainable meme games.

>>725164664
Itsuno didn't just want to make DMC games for the rest of his life.

>>725164664
By that logic, Dino Crisis shouldn't come back, because Resident Evil exists. All old IPs should be allowed another chance, and that includes Dragon's Dogma.

>>725164975
Now he will never make another game in his life or one last career ruining meme game like Itagaki.
>>725165053
My logic suggests making sustainable games with reasonable expectations. Something Dragon's Dogma never was. It was always a meme dream idea guy game. Dino Crisis actually plays completely to the strength of Capcom in every single way as obviously being very rooted in Resident Evil to begin with but also in dinosaurs and big monsters which Capcom also excels at.
