Can itsuno develop new DMC without capcom or capcom can develop DMC without itsuno ?
 
Or they could just make a Unity Engine game about a janitor shoveling cow manure. The same quality and content, for much cheaper.
Good idea this could be the never in a million years joke for the new game. An older Donte (2013) as a pretend janitor shoveling the manure on a skeleton that looks like Dante wearing his classic outfit (OG)

Or Dante and Vergil briefly transporting to the Reboot universe, Donte starting to swear at them, and Vergil slashing him in two without even bothering to look at him. Or just Donte using money as toilet paper and then asking where it all went.

Skibidi Toilet Dante
 
There's still chance for DMC, even though its small. Yusuke Hashimoto rejoined Capcom and he was one of Little Devil Team(a group who work for DMC 1) and also director of Bayonetta 2.

I guess if you really want a successor who knows DMC, him is probably a good choice, since he and Bingo did work together for Bayonetta 2.

Man you hate Donte quite a bit, what did he ever do to you?
 
Man kamiya and DMC don't mix anymore, someone who worked under him is not good enough

Do they still have good relations with "Ninja Theory"?
Kamiya wasn't involved with that. Capcom could bring back Ninja Theory and the reboot, and I guess they could light money on fire while they're at it. If I had to name a good "successor" to Kamiya and Itsuno, one person who comes to mind is Suda51, the one behind Killer is Dead and Lollipop Chainsaw.

Did they lose money on DmC (2013)? I recall it preforming "not badly" money wise (not what they wanted aka Call of Duty numbers, but still not bad on sales)

IIRC DmC was intended for 2M and barely did 800k or so.

They lost a ton of money there.

Now, what I was saying is that Kamiya style doesn't mix with how DMC evolved under Itsuno. Bringing him back or someone who worked with him spells failure to me.

In this case you need someone who worked under Itsuno and understand what makes DMC what it is.

Sounds right, and that actually includes the re-release if I'm not mistaken. At that time DMC1 had sold 2.1 million, DMC2 had sold 1.5, DMC3 had sold 1.3, and DMC4 had sold 2.8. The reboot which was supposed to surpass DMC4 and start a big new thing was a clear failure by DMC standards. DMC5 sold far higher than any of them at 8.4 million.

Maybe not lost money, but profit is a tough one. Technically you have to make back the production costs, the marketing and shipping costs, and everything else. Usually the budget they list is about half of the actual cost, meaning they have to make double the budget just to break even.

There are plenty of people who worked with Itsuno.

I actually agree Kamiya shouldn't take over.

Sales at the time in 2013:

DMC1: 2.1 million

DMC2: 1.5 million

DMC3: 1.3 million

DMC4: 2.8 million

Reboot: 800K

Capcom then performed a skewed test to prove the reboot's superiority by releasing DMC4 Special and Reboot Definitive at the same time, but skewed it by releasing Reboot both physically and digitally while DMC4 was only digital. A clearly corrupted test designed to give an excuse to continue their cheap rip-off of They Live and Matrix. DMC4 still sold better.
