Well, it really looks like those rumors that were pointing to Ninja Theory (Heavenly Sword, Enslaved) making DMC5 are slowly, but surely, coming to a head.

Quote from: Wolf Akela on GAF

Ninja Theory bragged about a top-secret project.

GameInformer posts it as a rumor (a good number of their rumors became true).

Capcom's Facebook page says they'll announce 4 new games at TGS.

Ninja Theory just said they'll reveal a new game at TGS.

Inafune said DMC5 is going to have a "western touch".

Capcom was and is outsourcing to western devs.

DMC4 is over 2 years old.

Just put those things together. I'd be very surprised if the announcement wasn't about DMC5.

We even got what seems to be copyright information now:

I dunno what would possess Capcom to do such a thing like this, but unless Ninja Theory gets to have access to MT Framework (which was the same engine that DMC4 is based on)? I'm not exactly holding high hopes for this project. The mere mention of UE and sub-30 FPS will be enough to send me running for the hills!

I'm hoping for the best.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to witness history in the making. Tread lightly or be prepared to defend your ground.

Ben, why aren't you posting that Kojima's going to announce my "you know what" yet?

I would if I could. It's sounding like more and more like he's just getting a little bit of a jolly out of trolling us with what we want to see, but he and his team are "too busy to make a sequel" at this time.

SOME DAY!

You know... although Journey to the West looks cool, Kung Fu Chaos and Heavenly Sword failed to make a big splash. Why's everyone so excited about this?

I'm not. I'm expecting a downer but remain optimistic. As it stands, this is still just a rumor.

That's the thing! We're NOT excited. We're basically expecting a fairly mediocre developer to be the ruination of a brand that, by and large, has delivered on basically solid games (DMC2 and the issues with DMC4 not-withstanding).

It's not even like the case with CV: LoS, where the outsourced Western developer may have a chance to do more to clean up after the "mess" that the in-house development made.

Ah.

What's CV: LoS?

Ah. Still, although Ninja Theory didn't make big splashes, their last two games were solid, at least (Kung Fu Chaos was pretty damn fun) and their upcoming game seems really, really good so far (escaping the usual brown-ish war games and giving us a game full of color and greenery, but still tons of good ol' western-style action? Awesome).

So I think them giving us a new DMC game would be interesting, to say the least. They would have to keep the gameplay mode and not change it like DMC2 did, but still...

What's funny about the DMC4 issues, is that the solid game WAS THERE. Inside the damn disc. They'd just had to take out "no-new-weapons-dramatic-clone" and give us Dante back for the full game, plus funnier story. There are a few bosses I'd really like to have played with Dante.

lol thread title change.

5:55 They are making a new Devil May Cry -- called "DMC"
5:55 The game shows a young man changed up in what looks like is a mental institution
5:56 a voice asks
5:56 What is your name over and over again
5:56 the same guy, cleaned up and wearing a spiffy Devil May Cry suit
5:57 is smoking a cigarette, which he puts out on a baddie's face
5:57 he fires dual pistols, spins and shoot
5:57 bad ass
5:57 the voice asks again: "what is your name?"
5:58 back to the young man chained up -- a robotic sphere with a glowing red eye looks at him
5:58 and the young man, cleaned up and cool, is taking down baddies
5:58 and the voice says "I'm going to ask you again, what is your name?"
5:59 and the young man goes "My name is Dante" and then jumps through the air
5:59 "DMC" flashes on the screen
5:59 the trailer obviously shows a younger -- maybe more rebellious dante
6:00 the game is being developed by ninja theory
