The Devil May Cry series has developed a strong fanbase and respectable sales numbers over the years, but for Capcom's global head of production, Keiji Inafune, that's not enough. For the next iteration, Inafune and Capcom plan to further increase the game's appeal to Western audiences.

 

"Despite the franchise has some very loyal followers, their sales are not particularly high, especially overseas," Inafune told Spanish gaming site 3DJuegos. "For this reason, it is likely that in the fifth chapter will incorporate certain "Western touch" to make it more attractive to American and European players."

 

Capcom has yet to officially announce Devil May Cry 5, although rumors have tied the game to Heavenly Sword developer Ninja Theory.

He's basically saying we're going to have buff bald guys running around in DMC5.

Please, please, don't do it Capcom.

I hope they do not make the same mistake as DMC2... I swear that was just a huge Diesel ad with ZOMBIE Tanks and Heli's. and if they think making Dante or who ever the noob will be look and play like Gears of GRAY.. they better NOT!

so it's either going to be a first person shooter, a football Game or an action sand box game with lots of hookers to run over with your stolen car.... One thing is for sure, Dante is going to look like Ben Affleck.....

"Inafune and Capcom plan to further increase the game's appeal to Western audiences." ....and ruin the series by doing so (probably)

you guys are silly. you hear "western" and automatically go "FPS SPORTS." you dont even know what changes theyve made yet. what if theyre actually for the better? what if theyre adding some form of character customization? you never know.

dont complain before you've even seen the product yet.

westernization, usually means generalization. the things that appeal to the general public aren't as rewarding or appealing (usually) the hardcore.

take for instance MvC 3, its easier and much more "westernized", so that the general public I.e. S C R U B S buy it.

scrubs out weigh the hardcore. so they want some scrub money, its not about the gamers anymore.

I don't think MvC 3 is a very good example. It may appeal to a larger audience now that it has a really cool roster, but don't doubt the amount of skill it will take to play it competitively. I do, however, feel that this game will indeed be made for the casual audience and will appeal to people with the attention span of a five year-old.
