Looks interesting, what they shoulda done is just start a new series of course, instead of rebooting the same one over and over. It'll probably be a good game, though alot of people will probably not like it just cuz the same reason that you have, it's not classic DMC so its not DMC.

This is probably the sanest thing to do. I will do my best... but somehow, whenever I'll hear something say "Devil May Cry" I'll be reminded of this.
I actually liked DMC4, despite all it's flaws. They were trying some new things there, didn't quite work out... I still don't see how they could've gone from there.
But yes. Wise words.
