Hideki Kamiya Wants To Do Devil May Cry Remake
Devil May Cry Remake Will Not Be Made Like 24 Years Ago
The gaming industry has seen a surge in remakes of classic titles, with renowned games like Final Fantasy VII, Silent Hill 2, and Resident Evil 4 leading the charge. Now, the original Devil May Cry (DMC) could join this prestigious list, as its director, Hideki Kamiya, has expressed his interest in remaking it.
In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel on May 8, Kamiya engaged with fans by answering their questions about potential remakes and sequels. When specifically asked about ideas for a DMC remake, he enthusiastically stated, "A remake like that, well, I would like to do that."
First Released 2001
Originally conceived as Resident Evil 4, Devil May Cry was released in 2001 after a significant shift in its core concept, leading Capcom to launch it as a new franchise. As we approach the 25th anniversary of its release, Kamiya has shared the personal story behind the game's creation. He revealed that a painful breakup in 2000 left him in a state of depression, which fueled the creation of DMC. This emotional experience became a driving force behind the game's dark and intense atmosphere.
Kamiya admits that he rarely replays his own games post-release, and DMC is no exception. However, when he occasionally encounters gameplay clips, he is reminded of the game's age and its old-school design. If given the opportunity to remake DMC, Kamiya insists on building it from scratch, leveraging modern technology and contemporary game design principles.
While the idea of a DMC remake is not at the forefront of his mind, Kamiya remains open to the possibility. He mentioned that he only develops ideas when a project is confirmed, stating, "But if the time comes— I’ll come up with something. That’s what I do." Additionally, Kamiya has shown interest in remaking another of his creations, Viewtiful Joe, sparking hope among fans for the revival of these beloved titles in the near future.
