If I were to be frank, I don't want both. And a lot of DmC fans would tell you they would want DmC and not the other. I know there are fans out there who like both but even they have a strong preference for one over the other.
There's no reason for alternating between two very different worlds, characters, tones, and what have you that all share the same name coexisting under the same banner in what people love to remind us is a niche genre. The fact of the matter is it was always going to be one or the other, I'm just happy the one I wanted won out in the end.
Sorry, DmC fans, hopefully you get a spiritual successor or something down the line.
Most DmC fans see V as clearly being a the spiritual successor. Even Nero, say what you will about his basic design for a sequel being hashed out after DMC4, seems to look and act much closer to DmC Dante than would be expected from 'here's Nero in a sequel'.
