The hype level for DMC5 seems so low. What gives?
- Thread starter Angst
- Start date
I think it's really obvious that people really wanted DmC 2 instead of 5. So the hype just isn't gonna be all that strong as it could've been due to that.
Hype on era is through the roof. but mainstream i dont know. i guess we wont know until it launches.
what?
Unless you are a Capcom higherup upset that DMC isn't doing Call of Duty numbers like with DMC4

You want a thread making machine for DMC? Because we already have someone like that for other topics on here.
The game's press might not be hyped, but that's because the game is not something they can look good at all the time and because Capcom itself is putting out promo material through streams instead of their websites.
It's hype levels seem about as high as is possible for a character action game. Every thread about it is largely full of people orgasming over every gif. I mean, it's never going to get to like Red Dead hype levels, but that's more a genre constraint than anything else.
That depends on how big you thought it was. Best selling one sold 3 million which is pretty good.
This is what I've been thinking myself, too. I actually pre-ordered the expensive edition and I've barely ever cared about DMC before. The game looks phenomenal and I cannot wait to have it in my hands.
I think the hype is quite strong for DMC5. In fact, I doubt there's any 2019 game as hyped right now except for maybe Resident Evil 2.
I feel quite optimistic about DMC5 even though I'm at the end of DMC4 and played through the HD Trilogy this summer for the first time and it's not a great series at all. Looks like DMC5 will raise the bar considerably.

wat? The theme song alone has over 15 million views on youtube. NOt that that is an indicator of sales, but people lost their shit with this game. I expect it to sell significantly more than any previous DMC before it
Speak for yourself, I couldn't be more hyped OP, though I am a longtime fan. Though it seems like this DMC is getting a lot of mainstream recognition
In line with the multiple "what?"'s, it is very difficult to have missed the +25-page threads of people just discussing the DMC 5 reveal and information, and that's all after the last E3. There were threads, before that, that reached hundreds of pages of people speculating and discussing leaks. I have no idea how could anyone have missed that.
There's an argument to be made about DMC being mainstream or not, but I can assure you it is one of the most talked-about games in this message board, thanks to a very passionate and dedicated fanbase.
DMC threads are even notoriously known for going off the rails, most of the time because of DMC vs. DmC discussions.
DMC 5 was one of the most talked about games coming out of E3.
I really think it is the opposite. People were really happy, and relieved to some degree, that Capcom decided to revert back to the original series.
Yup.

Uh, no.
I've been playing the series for the first time because of the hype generated by the trailers.

Gonna be a bit less snarky...
We are between news right now, nothing much to discuss or whip ourselves into frenzy over. Wait for the next trailer and watch threads blow up
