DMC Questions Anon here!

After the success of the female-led spinoff Capcom decided another one should be made (I wish) and have once again asked you to helm it. Who do you want to lead this time? What plot would this game follow?

(While writing this I decided I should specify it doesn't need to follow up on the previous one, unless that's where your mind is headed, of course.)

(sorry for being less active with the asks)

Listen, listen, I don't have strong opinions about the first Ladies Spinoff game, but the second? Has to be Lucia's. She proved herself to be a very capable protagonist, plus her devil abilities and design are very distinct from the main series, and that's a good way to explore some weirder-mechanics for the series.

Personally, I'd like to have 1, just one, with good parkour, or, at least a smooth one. Parkour in dmc5 makes me want to tear my hair out because of the camera, and the moveset is Not optimised for it. Darksiders 2 would be the best comparison here - that game features some awesome, if not very challenging, parkour sections! Timed ones are bad, but the general room-to-dungeon-room parkour is nice. It would also fit Lucia's theme better I think, since DMC2 introduced wall-running and jumping.

At least, give us more mobility options and more level verticality, just that would be great. And Lucia. I need more Lucia.

#as you can see #my thirst for more darksiders is forever and very real #its also genuinely a very fun genre mashup and a very good game series #even genesis with top down perspective has some light but fun parkour #in one level there are two linked portals in the floor which run on portal the game logic #so you fall down one portal and get thrown into the air through another and the momentum of your exit steadily multiplies #the portals also make a funny sound #so there is a coin you can collect riiiight below the ceiling of the level and to get it you have to fall up and down these portals for #a few seconds #best thing is you dont See the coin you only notice it after you start getting thrown into the air #its a very fun in-game swings #also other jumping sections are done nicely in genesis #but darksiders 2 is obv the king there #darksiders 3 had some fun stuff tho where you transform into a gravity ball and roll around on the ceiling that was delightfully weird #anyway anything that improves the level traversal in dmc is welcome in my book #dmc questions anon #dmc #lucia my underappreciated #dmc lucia
