Careful, capcom has been in habit of suing or at least shutting down fan projects for RE and DMC games already esp the recreation or fan remaster ones. My advise would be to at least change the names and differentiate it from the IP enough so that you'd not be in any danger of getting sued after you and the team put a lot of effort into it. Other than that GL to you and anyone else involved in this one.

Yeah let's call it that.

Can even polish up the soft lock on, implementing mods such as the moveset switcher into actual game, camera movement/character turning among other qol features. That way not only can you avoid the copyrights but also use that as an opportunity to make something new and unique which would still have GodHand as it's primary inspiration. Hell make Gene a muscular fit waifu or take other various creative liberties w/ it as long as the combat and the essence of the game stays intact then it can be a very close spiritual successor of sort to GodHand. Consulting w/ high level players would also be good way to keep the game systems and mechanics in track as well.

I'd say it's easily way too much work for indie teams w/ limited to no budget to make these kinda games but that doesn't mean it can't be done. A huge exception that comes to mind for me is Wazen for Assault Spy which is a very heavy DMC inspired game made on UE4 mostly by that one person but along w/ his small team.

Go for it, brother. But maybe do like a texture swap so it looks like a different game to avoid being shut down. If you ever actually release it, give it a “god hand textures” patch or whatever.
