    I hope this shuts up the people who are blasting off at Ninja Theory for taking it and "ruining" it. haha

    dope trailer. 
     
    never played a dmc game because they look boring, but i'm one to fall for slick cg trailers that have nothing to do with gameplay. smart, right?

    It looks like they're turning it into another God of War clone.  Shit.  I always preferred the way DMC (used to) and Bayonetta does the genre.  I mean really I prefer the Ninja Gaiden way of doing things, but no one else has really done a good job of recreating that.

    Dante has always looked like a twat and acted like a twat.. Now he's just a skinny twat with dark hair, yea i can totally see why DMC fans are so pissed about this. 
     
    Devil May Cry hasn't been good since the first game, and even that one doesn't hold up very well today.

    I don't care for the new Dante design, just like I didn't care for the redesigned Rad Spencer. That being said, I think the concerns beyond the new look are valid. Ninja Theory's games are story driven, while Devil May Cry and Bayonetta focused more on gameplay. In fact, Ninja Theory apparently thinks story is the most important part of the gaming experience. So we have two different teams with different philosophies, and people wonder why fans are skeptical?

    i have loved DMC since the get go..and I love the new look and feel..after playing DMC4 I just felt like the game was sooooooo stale. Repetitive franchise is not the way to a great game *cough* Dynasty Warriors *cough*

    It's a good thing fans have mastered the act of denial already.
    But hey if they put it out on the PC maybe somebody can put regular dante in there, would you be happy then?

    Just because capcom said "go crazy" doesn't mean you can get away with creating crap...
    Ninja Theory have been given crative leisure and that means they still carry the responsibility.
     
    Ninja Theory have been making mashy games, who knows if they have what it takes to break out of that.
    After all, the technicality is what DMC is known for and if you don't want that then you don't play DMC.

    I like the new re-design, in-fact it's made me more interested in the game than it would've if they  had of kept the old one.

    @HitmanAgent47:  In the end you can't call a game crap for scores on a gamer-ranking. Play it for yourself. Then draw your own conclusion, simple. it's called having a mind of your own and not being a sheep. We've only seen one Trailer, and i'm sorry your closed minded, but I myself would rather think positive. If it's shit, then we can say it's shit once we get our hands on a demo / see more footage. As someone said before on here NT isn't a big company and if they have someone who looks like the look they were going after convenient, they would use them to get it done and save on costs. It's called being smart with your money. You can use it for better things than on the character creation.

    That's cool and all brad but this is old news and granted capcom usa did want this crazy version of dante. But my problem is why does this dante look like the main guy in ninja thoery. Also i think his comment about what was cool 10 years ago is not cool now really did not help to win over fans. All i can say is i will wait for gameplay but i can't say i'm looking forward to it.  
     
    Also lets call this for what it is a big F*** you to fans and a warm welcome to potental new fans!

    I really like the new design, and I really don't want to see the same character dragged out through yet another game full of pizza kicking one liners.  I still liked old Dante, but I also thought the series was getting pretty stale with DMC4.   Anybody know the song they used in the trailer, btw?
     
    Also it's absolutely hilarious to me to see how butthurt people like HitmanAgent47 are getting over this.  A game company is changing something about a game I like?  TIME TO SPERG THE HELL OUT ON THE INTERNET ABOUT IT

    This game will probably be out next year if not later which would make it ten years since the very first title. So I guess a reboot isn't too bad of an idea. Let's just hope the voice acting is up to par. Anyone remember the lousy dialog from the first game?

    he looks like a little bitch. thats it. too small, too skinny, too emo, too much like the leader of ninja theory which is weird as hell, and uh...yeah. he needs to be a slick lookin dude i get that, but a big and badass and most imporantly he needs to look like he can totally handle those big ass guns, unlike this new guy who looks like he is totally outweighed by them. the new guy looks like something out of Final Fantasy VII. that little guy holding a giant sword never looked right but it was cool in its own right. here is different. he needs to look more like Clint Eastwood, not literally, but more tough and strong. otherwise those guns just look ridiculous in his hands.

    well it's understandable i can't say on hitman actions but its rare that early reboots work, half the reason of it is the same fans don't support it. The other half is it does not improve the game in a big way. I think you would get the same reaction if bungie tried to pull a fast one and turn halo reach into a different game and try to call it  a halo game. But i will try my best to hold judgement until we see gameplay but gameplay has never been ninja theory good points in a game. It's more in line with allowing  SquareEnix to make the next ninja gaiden game.

    I don't consider myself a hardcore fan but I am actually against the redesign of Dante. I was shocked when I first saw the trailer and I'm not sure if I'd grow to like it.

    I don't give a crap about the redesign, I'm worried the combat. Both HS and Enslaved have horribly boring and simplest combat. DMC's appeal is in it's combo and system and nothing NT has done shows that they can pull it off.

    If this were like Final fantasy you wouldn't be able to tell if Dante was a girl or a boy with that pretty face.. but then again the first dante you would toss a long haired wig on and say was a lady XD (cept DMC4 Dante, now that looked like a guy)
     
    And the VO I thought sounded more like Steven J Blum.. but that's just me XP

    So I was actually right, they are literally just using the name to sell a game in a similar vein... Nice... Fuck heads. It's a pity that these guys are stuck working someone else's IP when they are so capable of creating unique games.

    It's just weird to me that people are getting so upset about Devil May Cry...I was not aware the series had such rabid fans.  I could certainly understand the reaction if, say, Nintendo handed over the reins of the Zelda franchise to, say, Bioware or something.  But Devil May Cry?   
     
    Either way, this whole argument is pretty moot because the damn game hasn't even been released yet.

    ok so its teenage dante, smokes, has emo hair, hes a bit more of  punk then a cocky bastard... makes sense, i don't hate it, i think the people who are really complaining about this are the ones who never played a lot of DMC, but claim to to sound cool.... much like with a lot of things like this.

    I couldn't care less by them wanting to change his design. But I don't really like the look of their redesign at all. There is a difference between being a fanboy and just not liking their final decision. 
     
    It would have been awesome if they released several redesigns and let the fan base vote. But hey ninja theory are talented developers and I have faith in the game they will make, bad main character design or not.

    I'm relatively indifferent to the design, and more curious to how the game will play.  Given that it's Ninja Theory, who has a pretty decent track record so far in my book, I'm pretty excited for it actually.

    I'm really digging the new Dante and after playing Enslaved I'm really looking forward to this DMC with there art style and story telling with those who did the combat for either DMC 3 or 4 backing them on how to do the combat then I'm alright and its kinda funny saying that this Dante should be in Twilight while Dante 1 and 3 would be more of a match for it.

    If the game's good, I'm all for enjoying the game while I hate Dante. Or, maybe they'll get his character down, so I won't even have to hate him. I'll just have to wait to say any more than that.

    @HitmanAgent47: they want to appeal more to the west. Everyone about the graphics and the tone is pretty decent, just the character model itself is terrible. If its a western they're going for, they need to make him look like Clint Eastwood (not literally, but just stronger and tougher looking) and not the pansy wannabe that followed him around in Unforgiven.
