My only concern about this is that Ninja Theory is making it, after Heavenly Sword I am gonna be cautious about anything that they're involved with. 
 
If Enslaved turns out well, I might be more positive towards this.

I never liked the old Dante all too much. This guy either, but the whole ''dude is fucking nuts or something'' thing is a little better than the old stereotype. As long as they make the game fun, and interesting enough, I think it seems okay.
 
Though, would have been best to see Virgil in his younger years.

Nope. I'm guessing we'll be in the minority though for the following 4 pages.

I'm all for ninja theory doing the game, but it's the Character design I don't care for, that killed it for me. Will it be a good game? Sure, why not. Will I play it? Nope.

I'm fucking heartbroken that they changed the look of Dante, that's such a huge bummer & it kinda seems like just changing something for the sake of it. Everything else looked pretty cool though, that was definitely some DMC craziness going on, cool enemy designs, the combat looked appropriately flashy.
 
A little concerned with the weird aslyum stuff though, really hoping that they don't do that Buffy thing where they propose that Dante's criminally insane & it's all in his head.
 
I love DMC & will remain open minded & positive about this but I'd always hoped that by now they'd have made a game purely about Sparda, Dante's father. The plot of every game so far has revolved around his actions in some way & pretty much all we know about him is that he was a demon who fought other demons.

Whatever this game turns out like, Ninja Theory have my eternal respect for quoting DAVID FUCKING HUME in their trailer.

I'm interested, but I didn't like how he shot the Ebony and Ivory. It was so slow... so, not DMC like.

Don't really understand why they made dante smoke, when the first game was made hideki clearly stated that he wanted to have a cool non-smoking character didn't he?

You guys weren't. The trailer is incredibly captivating & well made, I'll just be curious to see what Ninja Theory has included to warrant this being another title in the DMC franchise as opposed to just another character action game.

Warrant? Capcom loves outsourcing almost all their console games to Western developers these days. That's all there is to it.

The brief action bits look fine, but I do not like the Dante design. I hope the story reveals that it's a clone/imposter. Even if that's stupid, it's preferable to this being Dante.

You're probably right, but as a fan of the franchise I'm still going to keep an open mind about all of this before writing it off completely. If I get a great Devil May Cry out of it all then it won't have mattered.

I don't Understand the hate for this game so far. It looks like the logical progression for the style that the DMC games have always gone for.

Reboot. I don't think it has anything to do with the current series.

I was a fan of this series for a while, but I kind of think they should just let it die already.  At least go 3-4 years without touching the property or something...this trailer did nothing but distance me more from the series.

If Ninja Theory can continue the cinematic and animation mastery I've seen so far in Enslaved, I'll be interested. Not that I wasn't in the first place. :)

There is a white patch on the top of Dante's head, so it's not all the way black and I'm sure they will explain it
 
But I like the change, DMC games just got stale, 3 was cool, but 4 was was meh at best, and i think if there was any series that needed a kick in the ass to get going, DMC would be at the top of my list (with RE being a close second)

I liked it. I enjoyed the original DMC games, despite never expecting to. This at least looks like it's filled with plenty of promise.

I understand they're trying to make him look young. The dark hair maybe turning white over the coarse of the game might make sense, but his face....doesn't look like Dante at all.

I don't know about Ninja Theory handling a new DMC. After the combat in Heavenly Sword I'm kind of worried about the gameplay. 
 
Edit: After reading the comments the new style looks cool, and Dante as a character looks cool. I always suspected him as a hipster in his younger day. DMC3 he's not that far off.

Thanks for pointing that out, somehow I didn't even notice the white on his head.  I hate this less now, but his look is still kinda lame compared to the other Dante.  Hopefully he gets some of his signature swords.  (Edit:  Also, HIS FACE.  That is probably the worst part, there's no resemblance.)  Also... wasn't DMC3 "young Dante" as well?  He looked 20ish in that... Is this Dante going to be like 14?

You know if you read the other info about it he's breaking out of Psych Asylum, Seems like it would fit the situation they are going for, I don't see many UFC guys in Psych Asylum's unless your Arkham Asylum.
