Well you know the problem isn't that. The problem is the fans who never played the original Devil May Cry game, who thought DMC4 was representative of the series. Which it wasn't.
DMC4 was actually designed to be an imitation of Hollywood movies, which Capcom admitted at the time. Hence why the story was overly camp, and not very good. Capcom were imitating something they didn't understand.
In terms of the reboot, it was the best game since the original game. DMC1 really was a masterpeice for its time, in no small part because it came from the survivial horror elements that formed the Resident Evil games. Capcom never really captured the melanchoic feel of the original game and the original character. Ninja Theory's reboot was truely a great game, but it was still in the shadow of the previous games, Ninja Theory didn't fully embrace the term reboot. Thats why the game wasn't perfect, but it was a lot better than the games Capcom made themselves, like DMC4 which was very far away from the original game.
