DmC Devil May Cry is a reboot of the series from developer Ninja Theory, featuring a redesigned Dante and a new take on the franchise's fiction.
Ninja Theory Is Definitely Developing A New Devil May Cry
yeah he just looks like a total wuss
like a whiney brat who is only tough and cool because they made him that way because its not real lol, just like the wimps in twilight.
Oh wow, I feel kinda bad about laughing so hard when I first saw this new Dante.
He looks like some one upset him and now the poor boy is sulking, aaaaaw.
Well at least he will make a cute little prison bitch for someone.
what the hell is this crap. as i opened this topic i was thinking "i hope the main character is dante this time", not unlike the complaints when you played raiden instead of snake in mgs2. but. this. is. NOT. what i had in mind. way to kill a good franchise. the character looks like he belongs in my chemical romance. why would they agree to this? the series was good and had an interesting story between the two brothers. reinventing a series like this is usually for when the series has gone down the toilet and i certainly beg to differ in dmc's case. if this is happening in another universe (which it looks pretty clear cut it is) im really not interested.
edit: furthermore the recent soundtracks by tetsuya shibata are among my favorites for a video game. i presume he wont be working on the series anymore either. everything i was interested in with the series has been stripped apparently. they are apparently doing this to increase sales in western regions. well, as a western fan, they have reduced my interest in this title. how do they expect to get more people to buy it if people who were already interested in the series now aren't (speaking for myself of course).
Holy Crap. I'm digging the hell out of this new Dante. You all call it Twilight, I'm calling it Sid Vicious.
Also, really liking the whole heroin-addict thing he's got going on. Dante's always been a prick, only now he actually looks like one, and not weeaboo fap material.
I can see why people can be up set, but this is a reboot. If this was the original Dante it would not be much of a Reboot at all.

This new Dante looks like he stepped out of the 70's London Punk scene. He does not look emo, or like a hipster. The fact that you would even use those labels shows how fucking ignorant you really are. The meth-head thing I will give you, but how is that a slight considering the attitude of this character and the context we see him in? Everything I've heard about this game so far has been interesting, and this is the first time I've been interested in a DMC title since DMC 3.
I'm not that much of a DMC fan but, even I have to raise a red flag when it comes to Dante's new look.

First time in a long time I've had any interest in DMC.
How is that terrible? Because they changed his looks? He suddenly dosen't have white hair (which looks to be growing in btw) and now everyone is bawwing? Give the game a chance, you've seen ONE trailer, he spoke 4 words, only 4... you can't say his charisma is gone because you haven't gotten a feel for him as a character! Just because the looks have changed does not mean they have changed his personality." Terrible...why they want kill one of the most carismatic character of the videogames industry? -.- "
Also, hello new poster.
Thanks for the welcome^^, i'm italian so sorry if i mispell some words or phrase >_<" @Alexisfire said:

I really don't like this "new" Dante because is younger, and because the whole game is a reboot, the character can't have the same personality because it wouldn't fit in someone with less experience.
Probably it will be a good game, but they shouldn't call it Devil May Cry, call it "NewNameHere" and it's ok....but this isn't Dante, this is someone else.

I do see what your saying, had they went and did this as a game as a new character, heck even Dante's son (which i would only fully support with Bayonetta XD) i think people would be more accepting. Right now everyone feels that their character is gone that they grew up with, (which he's not, tis a reboot, and reboots can capture the same cocky attitude Dante had of previous, it wouldn't change things.) in the end this game is a shot in the dark and nothing to do with the former history.
We could even see a new version of Virgil and Trish or Lady even, I'd like to see this to the end, and if it's a good game, awesome, they can do this type while the regualr team does something with the DMC that has nothing changed.
We have zombie spiderman, we have alternate histories for the ninja turtles, iron man, with characters nothing is set in stone, all it takes is some money and an idea and it's off the the races.
Any actual fan of punk from that era would gag at this monstrosity being given that label." @Curufinwe: First of all, get cultured, son.

" I've never played a Devil May Cry game, but this character just looks like he was designed for fat goth chicks to get moist over, when they don't have a copy of The Crow on hand. Also, why was Batman narrating the trailer? "And so the Origional Dante wasn't designed for Otaku to get moist over? He was a BISHI a Bishonen character, a pretty anime boy and all of giantbomb whom loves to the the :
"Anime is for Jerks" Line are getting their panties in a twist of the change?
If anything Giantbomb, please be consistent on your 'hate' for anime. Because that was all Dante was, an anime character, flawless, and undamaged.
" @Branthog said:Yes, the old Dante was clearly an anime character, but the new one is about as far from anime as I can imagine. Like I said, it looks like a design intended to appeal solely to girls who lust after a mix of The Crow mixed with a whole lot of Twilight characters mixed with a bit of Burnside bridge Portland meth addict street kid. (I've seen others compare him to the style of the original punk movement and I just don't see it -- anymore than any other modern alternative culture is inspired by the punk/goth scene of the 70s)."

I didn't really care for the original one, either, which is perhaps part of why I never played it. But why go from bad, to worse?

I don't see how this is worse, if anything this is a step up.

So... them having the same hair means he wanted to re-create himself huh? White skinny guy with the same hair and suddenly "OMG TWINZ?!!!" come on..
" @Branthog: Are you disliking this because it's far from anime now? I thought the giant bomb thing to do was reject anime and now everyone is trying to embrace old Bishi dante like they had all alone. No one liked his old design, it was just something they had to deal with to play a game with a hit and miss story.No, I don't care if it is or isn't anime styled. I just have a strong distaste for things that seem extremely pandering -- to the wrong audience. It's like finding out that the next James Bond is going to be played by one of the guys from that Twilight shit.

Also, look closer. The images of the two are far more similar than just their hair. Smack the other guy around a bit until he's bruised up and he'd look identical. They have the same gaunt emaciated look and that whole "I'm a boy, but I throw up my cupcakes in the men's room after dinner, so I can still fit into my tiny leather pants" thing going on. They even have similar facial features.
But again, it's mostly just the gross sense I get of extreme pandering here.
You another person that brings up Twilight when Twilight didn't suddenly invent this style, coming from a person who has watched the movies and read the books this is NOTHING LIKE TWILIGHT. They aren't going fro the wrong audience, you just like the old design and the old cruddy story that was hit and miss at most.
I get that everyone is upset. I get that, I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I don't but this has NOTHING to do with the other DMC's, this is a reinvention, a start over on what NT thinks Dante would look like and how the story should have gone. And good god I hope they improve the story because it's.. it's not good.
As far as compairing people, you doing that because your upset. Everyone is looking for a reason to hate this game (before playing it and before it comes OUT mind you) and this is what they are grabbing at. And the Twilight shit.
70's punk, when i look at this Dante I see Billy Idol, if he gave a damn sneer like he did I'd squeal cause Billy Idol is the shit. Especially if that white hair is growing in like I think it is. <3
I hope this game fails in the western market as well as the Japanese market, so that Capcom will realize what a huge mistake they are making and go back to the original Dante and story and characters etc.
If Capcom really needed games that can reach out to the western market so much, there's no need to reboot this existing franchise. Why not just make a completely new game? You'll have more franchises, more games to sell to East and Western markets, and therefore more money.
