Devil May Cry creator Hideki Kamiya hasn’t been involved with the iconic action series since the 2001 original, but that hasn’t kept him from talking about the series. A few months ago he offered up his thoughts on Devil May Cry‘s third and fourth entries, and now he went to social media to talk about what he’d like to see in the heavily rumored Devil May Cry 5. Unlike many fans that are clamoring for a return to the classic style, Kamiya wants to see something different from past entries.
“I’m just throwing some ideas out there, but I think it’s about time DMC got a game design revision,” wrote Kamiya on Twitter. “Looking at current global trends and the amazing graphics in recent Capcom games, the next DMC game could do with a full model change, like the new God of War.” Kamiya finished off his musing with one possible idea. “Instead of being an anime-style hack ‘n’ slash, maybe Capcom will turn DMC5 into a realistic, cinematic action game"”

Instead of being an anime-style hack 'n' slash, maybe Capcom will turn DMC5 into a realistic, cinematic act...
