Hideki Kamiya Wants To Do Devil May Cry Remake
The gaming world is abuzz with the possibility of a Devil May Cry remake, as its original director, Hideki Kamiya, has expressed keen interest in bringing this classic back to life. In an era where remakes of iconic games like Final Fantasy VII, Silent Hill 2, and Resident Evil 4 are becoming more common, fans are thrilled at the prospect of revisiting the beloved action-adventure title with modern twists.
Devil May Cry Remake Will Not Be Made Like 24 Years Ago
In a recent video on his YouTube channel dated May 8, Kamiya responded to fan inquiries about potential remakes and sequels. When asked about his vision for a Devil May Cry remake, he enthusiastically stated, "A remake like that, well, I would like to do that." This has sparked excitement and speculation among fans about what a modern take on the game could look like.
First Released 2001
Devil May Cry first hit the shelves in 2001, initially conceived as Resident Evil 4. However, the game evolved significantly from its original concept, leading Capcom to launch it as a standalone title. Reflecting on its creation nearly 25 years later, Kamiya revealed a personal story behind the game's inception. He shared that after a heartbreaking breakup in 2000, he channeled his emotions into the game's development, which ultimately shaped Devil May Cry.
Kamiya admits he doesn't replay his games post-launch, including Devil May Cry. Yet, when he occasionally views gameplay clips, he recognizes the game's age and its 24-year-old design. Should a remake materialize, Kamiya is clear about his approach: he would construct it entirely from the ground up, leveraging current technology and modern game design principles.
While the idea of a Devil May Cry remake is currently more of a dream than a plan, Kamiya remains open to the possibility. He stated, "But if the time comes— I’ll come up with something. That’s what I do." Additionally, Kamiya's interest isn't limited to Devil May Cry; he also mentioned a desire to remake Viewtiful Joe. With these insights, fans of Kamiya's work are now eagerly anticipating the potential revival of these cherished games in the form of remakes.
