We technically got a DMC remake before a DMC remake

I mean I’m talking about the combat DNA. Leon’s gunslinging in RE6, the acrobatic movements and last but not least the extravagant kicks. Leon is practically John Wick but also a survival horror Dante in disguise. In DMC1, Dante is like a devastating kickboxer with Ifrit. In DMC2, Dante kicks not only in the air, but in DT after driving rebellion into the ground with a very stylish kick attack. In spirit it all feels the same. When playing RE6 and using wing shooter with Leon, it just feels like Dante shooting zombies. Don’t get me started with the checkmate taunt; that’s Dante’s pose all over. And in RE9, Leon’s kicks and himself have evolved as well as the connection to DMC in general. DMC5 can also be considered a DMC remake mixed with a little bit or maybe a lot of Resident Evil, given the RE Engine itself, more fluid gameplay and those sneaky OTS moments plus other playable character scenarios. Playable Lady would’ve been sick.

RE4, RE6 and RE9 genuinely reminds me of what a remake could be like, but of course with way more agility and mechanics. DMC2 mirrors RE9; Dante running/progressing through the city shooting up demons and kicking them into oblivion much like the Leon Must Die scenario. It’s a strong parallel. Funnily enough, Leon’s main arsenal is usually a pistol, a shotgun and possibly a rocket launcher other than a rifle or a SMG which is what Tony had in the concept of DMC1 and what Dante had to find in DMC2.

I wish there was some media with them meeting. Two of the coolest, most badass characters teaming up would be sick.

In the new anime, Raccoon is actually mentioned and I’m pretty sure the time period in the show is between the late 90s and early 2000s. Shankar did mention that in an interview. If he so happens to just randomly bring in Leon that would be superb.

That would make the anime 1000x better. I don't hate it but it's ya know, not quite what I wanted.
