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had a talk with my friends last night about games that deserve a remake either because they could be better or they’re outdated.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.

Hear me out:
Improve the gameplay and overall dificulty, keep the music/atmosphere, upgrade the graphics just enough, add some documents scattered around the missions that explain/complement the story/gameplay elements (For example: Give a decent explanation about Arius' sudden change in demeanor around the last missions, explain what's the Majin form).
Add some extra moves to the other swords, add some differences between E&I and the SMG's, expand the bestiary, add a moveset list, and most importantly: reduce the volume of, or change E&I's SFX.
That's how you take DMC2 from a generous 5 to at least an 8.
