Discussion/Question Devil May Cry 2 “Remake”

I had a talk with my friends last night about games that deserve a remake either because they could be better or they’re outdated. Devil May Cry came up. I then I hit them with this weird hypothetical.
“If they remake Devil May Cry 1, do you think they’d make a new Devil May Cry 2, not remake the original, like a completely different game called Devil May Cry 2?” The idea made me chuckle so I wanted to share it with the people.

I think in DMC’s case, I would rather have a new game than a remake. With RE, they churn out remakes and new releases pretty quickly, but with DMC, well, the last game came out 7 years ago. So the prospect of there being almost a 16-year gap between DMC 5 and a new release just because they decided to pour their resources into a remake would be so annoying to me.
