The hype level for DMC5 seems so low. What gives?

DMC3 was a good game without Vergil and the Special Edition made it better. DMC4 was not.
I've only played the first DMC way back in the day and never bothered with the series after that. But after seeing some clips of DMC5, I'm definitely picking it up after RE2 and Sekiro.
I feel the same way. Nero never grew on me, I just can't start to like him. I tolerate him at best. His scenes so far in DMC5 make me a bit aggressive. And him being Vergil's son gave me the final blow. It's so wrong in many ways.
Dante's story wasn't finished, there was no need for Nero (storywise) to be put in there. Why not let Dante go wild on the order cause he found out they experimented with his brother's corpse and sword? Why not find a (good) way to bring Vergil back?
A DMC game where you play Vergil and Dante working together and mocking each other will always be my unfulfilled dream. :O
It all feels like he will not even be playable in a DMC6 game, with Nero and V taking over. And that really saddens me.
It's gonna be top five for ResetEra most anticipated games of 2019
OP pass me that shit you smokin

I honestly don't mean this to sound snarky, but I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. I feel like it is. (Edit: I got got.)
Also yeah, seems like hype is higher than its ever been for the series? Maybe just it's just because I wasn't involved in messages boards, etc. when 4 came out but I've been thrilled with how much press and positive reception every 5 related has been getting.
There's a lot of hype for DMCV. Just check out the amount of views the trailers have. It just looks really stylish and catchy. The graphics are really good and the music is pumping.
If anything the hype levels for Sekiro seem low. Trailer views arent as high and Ghost of Tsushima + Nioh 2 are also right there for shinobi action.
Id say lets wait till TGA for new trailers to gauge what hype is like.

When 4 was coming out, we had Ninja Gaiden 2 on the horizon. Ultimately maybe a little disappointing, but DMC4 felt like the under dog in a way. I think Bayo 3 will probably be better than V, but it's been long enough that nothing is holding back the hype at this point.
I mean, it isn't coming til March. CAPCOM hasn't really kicked in with the marketing boost.
We're in Smash, Kingdom Hearts 3 and Resident Evil 2 mode right now.
Late-January, early February it'll be full on Sekiro, DMC 5 and Metro hype mode.

This has got to be a joke thread? If not then you haven't been paying attention, OP.
I'd even say that the hype level for this game has overflowed too much, I'm worried that a lot of people will be disappointed with it.

The two situations arent really comparable. DMC4 was rushed out incomplete. DMCV got 4+ years of dev time and it shows. With a AAA budget the game looks like a stunner.
On the other hand while Bayonetta 2 was great, it didnt really push the formula forward and was even a regression from 1 in many ways. Not to mention on Switch hardware, Bayonetta 3 will look only marginally better than its 5 year old predecessor.
Im picking up both since we get so few stylish action games but Bayonetta 3 has her work cut out for her and will inevitably be compared to DMCV when it does get shown off.
But we didn't know 4 was rushed at the time, and it certainly looked fantastic at the time. That first area which was featured in the demo looked beautiful at the time. It was by far the best looking game in its genre, as we'd only really had NG Sigma, and it looked better than NG2 anyway. But it felt like the under dog to me, because NGB had really dethroned DMC3 for a lot of people, so a lot of the hype was with NG2. But given Bayo 3 hasn't been shown, and it's been much longer since DMC4 than it has Bayo 2, I think it feels like DMCV is kind of on its own within that genre right now. Regardless of which will ultimately be the better game.
Yep, and when that happens we'll all be waiting for your post about how he's not Vergil lamenting more and more how Nero is a bad character, etc.
Well, maybe is the years ending, or maybe is that massive games like kh3 and re2 are also just around the corner. I for sure am more interested on the later ones.
this is normal, only a few games a year can live day after day hype without new info being thrown around.
A lot of what you said is true. DMC4 was definitely a good looking game at the time, the MT Framework engine was really good at that (just like the RE engine looks so good this gen). Ninja Gaiden 2 also had more impressive showings with all the new weapons being added, dismemberment, and enemy finishers while DMC4 was mostly hey look new character and a mysterious conspiracy. No one knew DMC4 was rushed or incomplete until we had to backtrack with Dante. Might be why Itsuno emphasized the 4 year dev time for DMCV as an indirect reassurance for people it isn't being rushed.
Despite the rough edges I really enjoyed Ninja Gaiden 2s balls to the wall action and the weapon variety. Its a shame the series ended up where it is. Maybe Team Ninja can use the lessons learned with Nioh to bring Ninja Gaiden back in a big way.
But when you look at the gameplay. It actually really is. o:
Gotta disagree with this, I would say RE2 and DMCV are currently the most hyped games on the horizon.
A long awaited sequel that is not getting any hype is Ace Combat 7

Noise from who? DmC was not any kind of mainstream hit, and the core fan base of the franchise overwhelmingly favors DMC.
Well that's just weird. I want the best for both but I still would put all my money on RE2 outselling DMC5 by a big margin.
Anyway DMC5 should be a game of the generation worthy game, maybe the best hack and slash action game ever made. Hype is at maximum.
Its fine, dmc 5 has been very hyped these months. Its just been announced recently and gonna be the best selling dmc game preorders are pretty good.
The thing with the song was dumb
if anything the problem is Capcom's mismanagement of the series the last one was Ninja Theory divisive DmC game reboot
