Devil May Cry: 2015?

Capcom, the folks that have so kindly supplied us with so much demon slaying action, have plans on a 2015 release of the newest addition to the Devil May Cry series.

While Capcom has not officially released a new addition to the franchise we have all grown to love, however back in 2012 Capcom revealed that they wanted to keep the time between their major titles to around 2.5 years.  This would put Dante's antics to occur sometime around 2015 or 2016, due to outsourcing game development, with DMC: Devil May Cry running on the Unreal Engine that many 2012 and 2013 releases ran on.

Virgil cannot prevent how badly fans would love to control Dante in a more complex world with even more fluid controls, gameplay and graphics.  With modern technology it would not be strange to imagine any sequel to have some sort of massive online experience.  The PS4 could alter the way we see and play Devil May Cry games, however, Capcom has a feel to their games that fans crave.  If Capcom was to make any possible sequel too different they could risk the fate of the entire franchise.

Personally, I have my fingers crossed for any chance to run around as Dante.  There is something about smashing demons with Arbiter or shooting them to oblivion with Ebony and Ivory.  With releases like WatchDogs and Theif changing the scope of modern games, the comfortable and familiarity of Capcom and their franchises such as Resident Evil and Devil May Cry will be there for gamers of all kinds to relax and obliterate demons and zombies like we have for years.

Persona 5: E3 2014

Persona

Atlus, the brain behind the Persona games PlayStation users have been playing for years, is on the E3 2014 roleplaying game booth list.  Atlus has revealed Persona 5 to release sometime in 2015 for PS3 users.  No doubt a release for the new PS4 system was considered but probably postponed or ditched due to publishing costs or such things.  Atlus could be waiting to reveal the game on PS4 during the conference, but with their release of other games with Nintendo it could go either way.

Anime Fans

No matter how graphics systems develop and engines change the way people experience games, there will always be a following of gamers who hold plot and clever progression above all else.  Atlus has done well to provide a decent amount of choice and variety in the Persona franchise, Persona 5 does not look to disappoint.

Atlus normally offers several different plot lines to unfold depending on your interactions in the game.  After viewing the teaser I have no doubt that the story for Persona 5 will offer a plethora of freedom.

Vendetta

The teaser that can be found here, if you didn't see it earlier, shows an almost Guy Fox feel to it.  The darker themes of the franchise matches the teaser well and I believe fans will see it and be thrilled.  The mysterious web page and almost Anonymousesque video leaves fans to imagine the possibilities Atlus could reveal at the E3 conference.  It also shows how the developers are incorporating concepts of choice and freedom, the very things that make RPGs so appealing to gamers, and implementing them as key concepts in the story.

We know that Atlus will be at E3 and we can assume that at least one of its booths will be devoted to its head franchise.  Tell me in comments what you want to see Atlus present at E3 2014 this June.
