don't worry DmC sold like shit so if they make a new game it'll be a classic one

If nothing comes of this at E3 I'm going to be so disappointed.

>What was Capcom thinking

They weren't, just like when they essentially Rebooted Lost Planet with the story driven prequel

Don't they normally show stuff at TGS instead?

RE7 got announced at E3. I'd assume DMC5 would too considering they're way more popular in the west. 4 didn't even get Japanese voice acting until the special edition.

That's true, always found it weird it never got Jap voices till 2015

Man I just want a good DMC game with fucking Dante, it's been almost a god damn decade since DMC 4s initial release

>DmC sold like shit
Not exactly
capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/million.html

Anything below 2M in the first year is a failure by Capcom's own standards.

>expecting Capcom to think rationally

C'mon, why kid yourself

>Devil May Cry 2 and 3 were failures
Something about that doesn't seem right

It sold less than the HD collection and DMC4SE.

Why? dmc2 is trash all around and dmc3 wasn't a commercial success, which is the only kind of success that matters.

>Don't they normally show stuff at TGS instead?

TGS is fucking dead for bigger games dude, when was the last time you remember a AAA game getting announced there?

There's a different standard for HD vs non HD titles considering how much more expensive HD ones are to make.

Wrong.
Devil May Cry HD Collection sold 1.1 million copies and DMC4SE didn't even sell a million.

>It sold less than the HD collection and DMC4SE.

Dude, all you had to do was open the link and you'd find out that's not the case.

DmC might have underperformed but what you said right now is just straight up wrong.

capcom felt into licencing your games to western devs meme.

they thought for some years (2005-2011) they were inferior to west game makers while they werent but they were if they thought this .

many japan devs/franchises died during this meme era

>MH4 and MH4U both sold 4.1 million copies
Interesting

>like wtf capcom was thinking

If you want an actual serious answer, here it is.

There are multiple factors involved into why DmC happened, trying to get "western appeal" only being one of them. The director itsuno had been making DMC2, 3 and 4 back-to-back; he was burnt out and wanted to do something else, that something else being Dragon's Dogma. The third and final reason why DmC happened is also most likely because of Resident Evil 6, it was an absolutely massive production and ate up almost all of Capcom's internal staff. Which is why so many games got outsourced around the time RE6 was in development.

>sf5 sold same as resident evil remasters

>mfw started playing dmc3 for the first time this week

Okay, I was wrong so I looked more into it. The HD collection sold better on consoles than DmC did excluding PC sales and DMC4SE outsold DmC: DE

It has to be a new DMC.

After Monster Hunter, DMC is quite literally Capcom's best selling franchise per game. It only has 5 different installments and yet 15 million sales.

I thought Resident Evil and Street Fighter sell better too?

SF and RE have overall more sales but they also have more games. RE is about the same sales per game as DMC, and SF is actually way less.

If you think about it like this you realize why games like Megaman are now dead. Very high franchise sales, but average per game Megaman sales are actually quite low.

This is the same Capcom that refuses to make a new entry in a series that consistently placed in the top 5 of the sales charts back in the day because rereleases 20 years later didn't sell well.

Darkstalkers was big in arcades but it never succeeded in finding its footing at home.

Not a single game ever broke a million sales. Darkstalkers isn't as popular as you think it is.

Arcades were the primary market for fighting games back then, consoles were a bonus. The devs of the time have said this.
>Darkstalkers isn't as popular as you think it is.
>top 5 3 games in a row
>not popular

>Arcades were the primary market for fighting games back then, consoles were a bonus. The devs of the time have said this.

Yeah, and look at the status of Arcades now.

The sad reality is that games like Street Fighter managed the jump to home systems, Darkstalkers simply didn't.

Don't be obtuse. The point is that Darkstalkers was in fact a popular game that made lots of money. The fact that the market shifted from arcades to consoles in the 20 years since they even touched the series doesn't mean much. The players that would have played it in arcades 20 years ago would play it on consoles now.

Doesn't really change the fact that stuff like REmake remaster and DMC4SE sold well, while Resurrection didn't.

This whole argument that Resurrection didn't sell because it wasn't a true sequel doesn't hold much water when other re-releases did sell.

>tfw the pachinko machine has a shit ton of newly recorded cutscenes with new voice acting and animation
>interactions between characters we never really got in the main game (dante has a fight with credo, trish and dante have a bunch of cutscenes that seem to just be them walking along and talking)
>we'll never actually see them properly

I don't know. It's my favourite DMC in the series.

Marvel VS Capcom Origins didn't sell well either. But people always seem to forget that because it goes against their anti-Darkstalkers narrative.

>Capcom are one of the few big old devs that still release a damn good game every once in a blue moon
>they are also some of the worst when it comes to withholding good series from it's fans

It hurts. Like I couldn't really give a crap if we ever get a new KOTOR or Jade Empire from Bioware since they only make shit games these days. But Capcom has so many fucking good games it and just hurts knowing when they aren't doing anything with them.
>tfw Sengoku Basara 3 was one of my favorite games last gen
>no English version, fuck you
>tfw Dragon's Dogma might be one of my favorite games of all time
>so sequel fuck you, only jap mmo
>Resident Evil is a mixed bag
>Dino Crisis is dead

eventually selling more than 2 million after being discounted from hell to back means jack shit.

Capcom wanted to cash in on the meme generation

>anti-Darkstalkers narrative.

Drop the fucking victim attitude. MvC:O was riding off the success of MvC3 and was also pulled quickly afterwards due to legal reasons.

MvC is just a way bigger franchise that DS. Darkstalkers was a franchise from when fighting games were super popular and we got a bunch of crazy shit, tons of fighters died with the slow death of arcades.

I will never get over this LP2 was great with 4 player co-op but hey lets dump the game with a shitty dev team who thinks removing the best feature of the last game is a good idea.
