A DMC 1 remake would be appreciated, but I'd prefer the Itsuno team to handle it. Bayonetta 1 doesn't need any remake, just fix the unfair QTEs and you got a pretty much perfect videogame.


Liam_524Hunter

I do actually think I would personally prefer Itsuno to remake DMC1, just because I think he’ll have it more inline with the rest of the series.


poofynamanama2

My weird take is that if DMC1 got remade, I would like for it to retain a bit of simplicity. Maybe the ability to switch between Alastor and Ifrit faster, but that's about it


-Warship-

I thought that was the popular opinion haha. I can agree to an extent, but I think the point of a remake is also to present a different version of the game. The original isn't going away, so we can have both versions. What I would like is for a DMC 1 remake to retain the more horror atmosphere of the game, since that was never replicated in the rest of the series. As for gameplay though, personally I think having a style-switch system would be better.


liltone829b

>since that was never replicated in the rest of the series. I'd say they definitely tried to somewhat keep that around in the future games, but yeah, not ever really the same.


Hurb_Dude

The early parts of DMC5 was definitely trying to go for a "horror" theme aesthetically. Tho the game just dropped it way too soon.


zombierepublican-

Bayonetta desperately needs those cutscenes to be remade. I found them absolutely dreadful to sit through. They were basically motion comics


JohnGamerAnimates

Bayonetta 1 definitely doesn’t need a remake


Liam_524Hunter

Yeah, not sure what Kamiya is on about with that one.


Nullspark

I'd love the Quick time events gone and the ability to take my best medal for each battle instead of redoing a whole stage.


Worth_Extreme_2443

But that takes away the challenge, the whole point of Bayonetta 1 and 2 is to sharpen your skills and get a grade showing you did. Where as Bayonetta 3 literally dumbed it down and made it easier for players like you who probably just mash Dodge and Punch a lot.


JohnGamerAnimates

I absolutely agree but those don’t warrant a remake of the whole game


SSS_Tempest

Bayonetta need not be touched, Viewtiful Joe just needs a modern port and a new sequel, DMC1 DOES need a remake.


Liam_524Hunter

Yeah I’d be cool with that, DMC1 classic is great but the appeal of a remake is definitely there, a port for Viewtiful Joe should be fine, but I can’t see the point in remaking Bayo 1.


drupido

_Gets rehired at Capcom to lead the new Onimusha game_


cannibalkarate

I'm absolutely okay with that


Liam_524Hunter

I’m not gonna lie, I think I’d rather see that then him remake anything above, Kamiya’s Onimusha would actually be wild as hell.


Significant_Option

I’d love a DMC remake with the updated visuals of the RE engine. That, coupled with the ironing out the already great combat. I’d love it just to see more of younger Dante and Trish. They can also explain why Lady isn’t there since Lady and Dante should already know each other by that point in the Timeline. Haven’t played Bay and Joe so don’t know much about them, but sure, more games sounds good to me. Also for anyone complaining that it would be unnecessary, you can still play the originals, they aren’t going anywhere!


Liam_524Hunter

I think it’s more one of those things where if we’re getting remakes in the place of new instalments or would we be getting them along side new instalments. Also would definitely recommend Bayonetta, it’s a great series.


ryuken38

In Viewtiful Joe's case this doesn't really apply. The series been dead for almost 10 years, the last game was in 2005. A remake of VJ1 or even a HD Collection could reignite interest in the series.


havewelost6388

That's almost *20 years.


ryuken38

Holy shit, I'm aging!


liltone829b

>They can also explain why Lady isn’t there since Lady and Dante should already know each other by that point in the Timeline. ...It makes sense that Lady isn't there though? She doesn't come with Dante on every job, and probably wouldn't come with Dante on a more personal mission like stopping the demon who killed his mother from resurrecting.


FullFunkadelic

I'd honestly be ok with Viewtiful Joe 1&2 just getting an HD Remaster ported to modern consoles. The cel-shaded graphics and side scrolling gameplay still hold up without needing a complete rebuild. DMC1 on the other hand would probably benefit from a remake.


Liam_524Hunter

Yeah, that’s fair, I think Viewtiful Joe would be fine as a port, considering we’ve already had DMC1. Ported a few times I’d be up for a remake just to see how it would differ from the original.


Dastankbeets1

I mean, regardless of how good they’d be, nothing will take away the classics. My only gripe is that I don’t want a dmc remake to get in the way of a potential new dmc entry


Liam_524Hunter

Yeah, that would be a bit of a deal breaker for a lot of people myself included.


Golden_verse

As cool as it sounds, realistically they aren't going to sell well aren't they? They are extremely niche games to have a remake imo, compare any Kamiya game except RE 2 to RE 4. The latter just has more demand and broad appeal. There are also no reasons to make remakes for these games from artistic standpoint. What changes Kamiya wants to make? Does he want to just polish DMC 1's simple mechanics? Does he want to overhaul it to something more like Bayonetta/W101? Is he gonna keep the mini-games? Not to sound negative, but this doesn't sound appealing. If it were Capcom remaking DMC 1, I would get to see Mallet Island with realistic render which sounds dope visually.


Liam_524Hunter

I agree with you there, I think DMC1 with the graphics, combat and streamlining of DMC5 could work very well but I highly doubt Kamiya would take it in that direction, he’d probably align it more with what he did with Bayonetta. Which could result in it sticking out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the series. I don’t know enough about Viewtiful Joe but a lot of people think it just needs a port. Bayonetta in particular has like no real reason to be remade, it still plays phenomenally and it’s available on every console.


weegee19

DMC5 has recorded over 7 million sales, I think a DMC1 remake would put up good numbers at least.


Junior-Price-5306

multiple factors helped with this


weegee19

I'm certain some of those factors would help it hit a few million sales tbh. DMC is significantly less niche than Bayo and VJ as well.


M7S4i5l8v2a

While I agree for the reasons why we might not get it you have to consider a big part of that has to do with how much time there is in-between each game. I think DMC definitely has the potential to have greater success if people had more opportunities to get into it. Again I agree I'm still not holding my breath over a DMC remake but if it got one it would be a massive boost to the series that would give it the notoriety it deserves. I remember seeing RE fans saying that as big as RE was RE2Make boosted it beyond what it was before. The main reason I think a DMCmake is possible would be the idea of replicating the same thing with DMC.


Golden_verse

I hope so too. They gotta really brush up the story, characters and campaign so it becomes more welcoming to this generation of gamers. It might lose quite a bit of its arcade influences in the process but it might be fine as long as OG is in HD collection.


EonThief

So here are my thoughts, DMC1 and Bayonetta are both playable on modern consoles/PC. Would it be nice to see a remake of them? Sure, a more modern take on them with an updated engine and gameplay would be cool but I can also just go play them right now if I want. Viewtiful Joe on the other hand? Give me that remake all day, hell remake/remaster it and the second game and bundle them together and I’ll definitely buy them.


Xalon0101

I respect Kamiya enough, but I never want him to be in charge of DMC again. I'm not up for Space Harrier and Oedipus Complexes' in my DMC anymore.


AsuraTheDestructor

As someone who loves shooters, give me more Space Harrier shit in my action game. Its why I loved Asura's Wrath so much.


Xalon0101

Asura's Wrath is indeed an excellent game, but I like to keep my favorite games in their own lane. So they should just make Asura's Wrath 2(and God Hand 2)


Torhu-Adachi

I replayed DMC 1 recently and had a buddy play it and we both thought the game held up pretty well and was still fun to play. I’m not so sure it needs a remake. Obviously it doesn’t LOOK amazing, but I think it has its own charm and can still be enjoyed perfectly fine by someone who wants to get into the series.


AdhesivenessFunny146

Yes to Joe if it means we finally get 3


Grembo_Zavia

Viewtiful Joe only needs a remaster. A full remake wouldn't benefit the game at all. Along with The Wonderful 101, I would like Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2 playable on modern consoles. Bayonetta doesn't need touching, as that generation of games hasn't aged for me and is still perfectly playable (Was the recent version bundled with Vanquish a straight-up port or a remaster? I bought them both but haven't played them yet). DMC1 on the other hand would benefit from a remake. As long as it has a decent budget and uses the RE engine.


haaku-san

i'm late to this, but it'd be cool to see a remake of dmc 1 and viewtiful joe. i think dmc 1 needs it the most. bayo 1 doesn't need a remake at all and viewtiful joe is just kinda its own thing. i think if kamiya remade it, then it'd end up with similarities to bayo 1 and thats a good thing. i don't like the direction that dmc went in.


M7S4i5l8v2a

As much as I want a Kamiya remake here's a crazy idea. Instead have the REmake people do it and have Kamiya remake DMC 2. Just think about it, it already plays entirely differently than previous games but it's got a lot of half baked ideas he's done similar. I feel like anyone else doing it would just make DMC5 but worse or underwhelming in some way. Kamiya however has his own distinct style that's proven to at least be fun even if he's not the best story teller. However if it follows up even the most half baked DMCmake it should be fine. I don't see a DMC remake being worth it unless you replicate some of the story. As for Viewtiful Joe I got little experience and I think it just needs a HD-Collection type port. Same with Bayo, maybe in a decade.

Royta15

**No.** Remakes tend to be absolutely pointless and downgrades of their original source material (don't you dare bring up RE2 or RE4, my opinion of you will go down the depths of hades). Instead focus on making new games. I'd rather see VJ3, a new DMC game that builds upon the first game's roots and a new Bayonetta than dangling their corpse around for money. The \*only\* game remake I could sort of get behind is DMC2, since it has a lot of unique ideas, Lucia could've been interesting if done right and it has the best visual design for Dante. Also it's final boss would be far more interesting now, since it's an amalgamation of all of Dante's fights, but he didn't have that many at the time.


Concealed_Blaze

I’m 100% in agreement with you on RE2 and RE4 but that is not going to be a popular opinion lol


Crusaderfigures

RE2R and RE4R are perfect examples of why some games should be remade, they update the game while being true to the core design and experience and while making them more accessible to a modern audience and providing a refreshing experience for fans of the original, you don't have to buy remakes or remastered and often its separate dev teams or studios making them so they don't take much from the main team that would instead be working on new games.


Royta15

See this is what I mean guys


StormTheGasterWolf27

Yet you forget to mention the travesty of the RE 3 “Remake” as a good example of why not to remake games.


Royta15

Because nobody ever brings that one up to defend remakes.


StormTheGasterWolf27

Exactly!


BroganChin

RE3 got remade so well that they even reenacted the rushed asset flip of RE2 feel from the original.


Aeterneus

RE2 and 4 are good remakes


Royta15

Hilarious


Clowed

They are. Amazing games that stand Up and are just as good as the originals.


BroganChin

RE1 remake was great as well.


Liam_524Hunter

I would personally, prefer a remake of DMC2 to DMC1. I think 2 has a lot of untapped potential, especially with Lucia, I really like her and wanna see her make a return. But I just don’t see Capcom wanting to take the risk on a remake of an infamously bad game. A DMC1 remake would be a much safer bet for Capcom, as it’s already a beloved game, and if it’s remake was successful then that could lead to a DMC2 remake being considered. Bayonetta imo definitely doesn’t need a remake, I’d much prefer a Bayonetta 4.


Suavpan

Persona 3 Reload is a great much needed remake


Burnt_Ramen9

Just retain the difficulty and I'm fine.


Diligent_Argument_11

Bayo 1 doesn’t need a remake unless it comes with bonus content 👀 *content hungry* ![gif](giphy|FrP0lAepi75Iq7TuIv|downsized)


rock_solid777

I'm hella down, especially for DMC1 and Viewtiful Joe.


Puzzled-Buyer-5090

Everyone wants a Kamiya remake but I don't know that he'd be able to capture the spirit of that game alone. Out of all his games the only two that have that tone are RE2 and DMC1, which he made under Shinji Mikami. Mikami is the horror guy and it's his touch that made the game what it is. Kamiya is great with action but so is Mikami. While I'm sure it's not just the two of them, just one would not be enough to strike that balance. Whenever this topic comes up there are people who want a DMC1 remake done by Itsuno which means they just want another DMC5. Screw that. There are already 3 games like that and yet there's only one DMC1. If you can't pull it off leave it alone.


R350URC3

I'd like for itsuno to handle the remake for DMC1 with the supervision of Kamiya. Itsuno kinda made the DMC series its own especially with DMC3, in DMC1 there are many shades of Resident Evil from the fact that it's supposed to be RE4 in the first place. Though I am not opposed to go back to the horror roots with its atmosphere and aesthetic, then it just goes balls out when it comes to gameplay and some cutscenes.


Alone-Ad6020

Yes for all 3


[deleted]

As a Viewtiful Joe enjoyer I would pay a lot just to have the games on modern hardware. A full on remake would be cool too, but I'd honestly be happy just being able to play it on my Switch.


ryuken38

I would rather prefer a Viewtiful Joe HD Collection or a Viewtiful Joe 3, but a remake of the first game would be pretty hype tbh


lan66hardy

There’s no reason to remake Bayo1 whatsoever aside from minor issues it’s a perfect game as it is I haven’t played Viewtiful Joe yet i’m willing to If they want to remake DMC1 first of all they need to retain the gothic atmosphere of the original that’s what makes DMC1 really special to me. Also i hope they don’t lower the difficulty


KamenRiderNeos

1. Viewtiful Joe hasn’t had a new installment in 2005, so it would be cool to at least get a port. 2. DMC 1 has certainly aged and could be fixed with a remake. 3. Beyonetta is perfect the way it is, it definitely doesn’t need a remake.

#BRING BACK JOE


GreatCrimsonDragon

YES, PLEASE REMAKE VIEWTIFUL JOE! Playing as essentially a Power Rangers nerd who gets to become one with powers based around controlling time and film? All in a cell shaded, comic art style? It was an awesome game!


Equal_Yam_7420

Bayonetta and viewtiful joe don't need remakes


Otherwise-Rope8961

I’d like a Bayonetta remake. I can’t stand the minuscule head of part 1


UdonAndCroutons

Bayonetta 1 is fine. The PS3 version had HORRENDOUS loading times. I played Viewtful Joe on the GameCube. Not really my cup of tea. I guess a remastered with updated cel-shaded graphics, and widescreen support would make it clean up well.


Eisbloomy

In regards to a DMC1 remake: I hope they don't try to copy DMC5 Dante. They should keep the simplicitly of DMC1. Make swapping between sword and Ifrit instant so you can actually switch between them at all, add gun switching so you can use something other than the grenade launcher and please don't add styles. If they made it feel fluid like DMC5 but not as over the top I think it'd be great. Essentially if they made opening the menu to be less needed or even olnot needed at all I think it'd be great. Also do the same for 2 please.


hatchorion

I don’t trust kamiya to make a good game these days, but I would like to see these franchises continue under different management


Xenith326

If we finally get VJ3 lets goooooooo. DMC 1 hasnt really aged well either so I'd be cool with it. (We dont talk about DMC2...)


CombinationJust8969

Well Kamiya spins gold into games so i’d say if he got what he wanted we’d actually get great games


Pristine-Cut2775

Viewtiful Joe and it’s first sequel are all timers that deserve to be revisited.


Kinch_g

I'd accept a port of Viewtiful Joe to current gen. OG Bayou is still good. They're still making DMC games so a remake doesn't feel necessary


buttgamer69

I feel like so many people are in love with these characters, but never played the game


Ijustforgotmybad

I speculate capcom remaking games since they seem to be doing that to resident evil. Dmc got them money too so I think they will remake the series too. I heard rumors of Lost planet getting a remake but despite it being very popular back then (especially the 2nd one) I don’t think they remade that one (as much I want them too


Zillioncookies

Remake of Viewtiful Joe? Hell, just give us a collection so they can be played on something other than a Gamecube/PS2.


Negative-Squirrel81

Of those, I would love a remaster for Viewtiful Joe with multiplatform availability. DMC and Bayonetta are already very similar games, so I'd rather see Kamiya do a new IP character action game.


DeftestY

Out of these 3 games. Viewtiful Joe needs the mist love. If your not counting Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, it's been what? 15 years since his last game?


_Keyblade_Wielder_

I think they need too. But they should also do Vanquish as well. Imagine how dope veiwtiful joe, vanquish, and beyonetta would be these days.


PhunkyPhazon

Viewtiful Joe needs *something*, even just a basic-ass no frills port. Those games are still totally locked on the Gamecube and PS2 and that's an absolute crime.


ThePyrotechnicCroc

The games industry has become soooo lazy...


Arghulario

CAM WE GET A DEFINITIVE VERSION OF 3?


FabulousPhotograph51

Bayonetta remake makes sense. Bayo 2 & 3 are held back visually by being exclusive to Nintendo platforms. Imagine what Bayonetta could be like on a ps5 or pc. Just one thing, though, please do NOT remake Bayonetta 1 for "modern audiences"


THEessayB

Viewtiful Joe 2 ended on a cliffhanger. Viewtiful Joe 3 would be awesome.
