Probably wasn't popular enough. I mean they did some interesting things but the changes to the backstory, world, as well as Dante and Vergil, were just not as satisfying as the original.

Nero again? I'm not surprised...hopefully, they'll have you playing as Dante as well, like in DMC4.

Honestly, I'd like to see some "spinoff" games featuring Vergil, and perhaps Sparda himself. My thought is that they should start by developing the Vergil-mode DMC3 into a fully separate game, with a parallel story from Vergil's POV of the events. We could have him going through the tower along a different (but occasionally intersecting) path, fighting a few new bosses, while reusing others (like Beowulf, the Gigapede or Jester), and actually fighting Dante rather than a red clone. A second game could feature Vergil's adventures in the Underworld, and eventual corruption into Nelo Angelo. As for a Sparda game, it would be a chance to explore who he was, what led him to decided to fight for humanity, and the actual sequence of the events that became his legend.
