Still in the last 10 years they released a collection and a reboot. Also we had entries on previous gen, so it wasn't totally unexpected to see one this gen.

The reboot failing after the original DMC4 fell short of sales expectations is the reason why people weren't sure when we'd ever see DMC again. And in what form.

I don't think you have to expect a game to never ever appear again to be genuinely surprised when it finally does, because we can go dozens of years without them seeing the light of day.
Everyone knew that Square Enix would make FF7 Remake at some point, but in spite of it being rumored almost every other E3, people were blown away when it was finally revealed.

12 years ago in 2006 we got Megaman X Collection.

Since then we've gotten yet another Megaman X Collection, before a Megaman X9. How many years should pass before I should stop being surprised that Megaman X9 doesn't get announced? And at what point should I be surprised when it finally does?

I know we will probably see Megaman X again some day. (Especially now that MM11 was announced.) But I don't know if it will be a watered down mobile game like Breath of Fire 6, or if I will have children and grandchildren when it happens, etc.

Because of what happened with DMC4 and DmC, we could have been looking at a period longer than 10 years to get a sequel to DMC4. And it could even have been yet another reboot attempt, or a drastic change in the art direction like Resident Evil 7. But no, this is a sequel to DMC4. Like the fans wanted.

Btw @bigtakilla here's the DMC5 theme "Devil Trigger" synced up to the DMC4 intro. Works surprisingly well.
