I'm bundling these two titles since they came out pretty near each other and only a few years after Resident Evil 2 and 3 which have famously (and maybe infamously) received reboots (remakes).

I'd love to see them do something similar with Onimusha and even Devil May Cry.

I know that Onimusha has received a remaster recently and Devil May Cry kind has been rebooted already (just not in the same vein as RE2/3).

I like Capcom going back to work on some of these older games/franchises, especially when you think about companies like Konami who couldn't be bothered.

Why reboot DMC exactly? last time they did that we got DmC.......no thank you.

 

[Elios83]

Capcom's leak stated that a new Onimusha is in the works and was scheduled for 2022.
Who knows if that's still accurate but killing the series after the PS2 games was a stupid decision.
Now we have seen many games with feudal Japan being a success (Ghost of Tsushima, Nioh series, Sekiro) so it's probably easier for them to justify an other try.

 

[TrueLegend]

Just Remake Original Devil May Cry.

I like a lot DmC.

Their story and the characters are great.

 

[Danjin44]

I like a lot DmC.

Their story and the characters are great.

To me it was nothing more than ugly cousin of actual DMC, but thats just my opinion.

 

[Pejo]

Over my cold dead Power Stone and Breath of Fire.

Actually is my second Best game from Ninja Theory.

I like the casting, acting voice.

 

[[Sigma]]

So you mean remakes of the originals.

 

[Icymanipulator]

DMC doesn’t need a reboot, the last game was dope.

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

No, that's a FACT.

.

Is not a bad game. I play it free in PS plus.

 

[Perrott]

Remake Onimusha 3: Demon Siege you cowards!

 

[G-Bus]

Was never into DmC but I did like onimusha. Beat the first and third I believe.

Hopefully that rumor of them bringing it back is true. Not sure if I'd like a remake of the original or a complete reboot of them/4th installment.

DMC needs a plot reboot but keep the same characters and general style so the games can focus on Dante again.

New artstyle should be in between DMC5 and previous games. DMC5 looks too realistic and just makes the combat look less over-the-top, though its graphics were impressive.

Revamp the combat, DMC4 perfected the current style and frankly DMC5 showed that adding more weapons on top of it won’t really feel very fresh. The focus should be on making the combat more stylish and cinematic without losing too much depth. The hyper-realistic characters models in DMC5 combined with jump-canceling just seems conflicting and outdated. Let players be more like Dante in cutscenes and less like a PS2 action game character.

Have a semi-open world structure where there are linear levels for the main plot but also cool arenas around the map to fight enemies instead of the tired and cramped bloody palace formula.

Us DMC fans are obviously afraid of the word “reboot” since the last one almost killed the franchise and was absolutely an insult to the fanbase, but in reality a reboot is exactly what the franchise needs.

 

[paolo11]

Reboot Onimusha only. Leave DMC alone

 

[Bigfroth]

Reboot DINO Crisis !!! or remaster the first 2.

 

[Javthusiast]

DMC needs no reboot. Last games was also super successful.

Onimusha needs one though. Bring that franchise back.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

Wonder if mods should change the title. "Reboot" is a different thing from "Remake."

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Uhh DMC5 was very popular, and the ending of it pretty much acted as a "passing of the torch".
Also there's no need to reboot Onimusha either, it's pretty much the perfect franchise to keep telling different stories, with different characters with.

I guess they could "reboot" onimusha, by remaking it RE2/3 style, but there's no need, just make a new game.
Not a fan of reboots in general, because they are always headed by a bunch of stuck up creatives that feel they need to leave their mark on it, so it turns into a mess completely different from the original, just "because".
Remakes are the way to go.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Onimusha and Dino Crisis yes. Remake, Reboot, whatever.

DMC not so much. I wouldnt hate the idea of a trilogy remake though, 1 and 3 were great but 1 was a classic and was awesomely new. But nothing like how I want a Onimusha and Dino Crisis game.

Also give us a new power stone game

 

[Aion002]

I rather get an Onimusha sequel...

New characters in a different era, referencing the events of the first games.

Imagine a Onimusha game set during the Meiji Restoration?

 

[Atrus]

Onimusha has gone on for quite awhile without a game so they could reboot that.

Give us something like the intro to Onimusha 3 but real-time in a Ghosts of Tsushima meets Elden Ring kind of way.

 

[Stamps1646]

Onimusha Remastered was such a poor attempt for Capcom to get people excited for this series, especially people that have never played the game.
The original game had so many buggy issues and that carried over to the Remastered version.

I agree with Onimusha on a reboot.
Its one of my favorite Capcom series and would love to see new ones in the future.

 

[NahaNago]

I'd like a reboot of the onimusha series or just a new game in that series period. For Devil May Cry I wouldn't mind it being a continuation of the series. I didn't quite like the look of older man Dante though. I've really wanted a prequel to the series. Like you hear so much about Dante's dad and how powerful he was so I'd like several games starring him.

 

[Valt7786]

Onimusha reboot/remake for sure.
DMC doesn't need one, just do DMC 6.

No. Just give us DMC 6 and Onimusha 5. No reason to retread the same material again.

 

[Camreezie]

Sparda prequel for DMC would be cool. Does it make enough money for them to warrant the resident evil treatment or a remake and a new entry alternating though?

 

[16bitwarzvet]

I would take a reboot of Onimusha but I really want a remake of Breath of Fire 2!!

 

[plasmawave]

How dare you not include Dino Crisis in there.

 

[DevilMayFlyForAWhiteGuy]

Just Remake Original Devil May Cry.

And while they’re at it remake 2 into an actual good game. Lucia is too waifu-tier to be stuck in it.

 

[lh032]

How about dino crisis or megaman legends 3 instead?

 

[STARSBarry]

How about dino crisis or megaman legends 3 instead?

The latter is never going to happen, Capcom went well out of there way a decade ago to actively piss off the legends fanbase.

They haven't even released a "collection" unlike literally any other Megaman game.

 

[Sub_Level]

Onimusha sure. That series hasn't been around in a long time. A reboot would be an easier sell in this market than a sequel.

Devil May Cry absolutely not. Itsuno is just in his 50s and the voice actors are all still young. There is also no story or gameplay justification for why a reboot is needed.

 

[Raonak]

stop trying to reboot DMC please, just make a DMC6 that picks up where 5 left off or just do a sparda prequel with a vastly different combat engine if you're really wanting to change up the series

Dino Crisis... now that's a game that needs a reboot.

 

[AutumnLeaves]

Just Remake Original Devil May Cry.

Best DMC in my view. The atmosphere is insane.

And Onimusha, for the love of god, give us a HD version of the second and third and fourth at least!!
