Reading these comments makes me realize that people just throw around these style qualifiers without any understanding whatsoever.  Twilight Dante?  Emo dante?  Guys, he fits neither of those descriptors what so ever.  I suppose the "hipster" assignment is SLIGHTLY closer to the truth but still light years away.

What capcom really needs to do with the series is just scrap the whole new Dante thing, and have you play as Darryl McDaniels.

Yeah except for Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy, I can't think of any other games that put 5 in their title anymore? Looks like its trendy to name your sequel the name of the original franchise. Prince of Persia, Need for Speed, Mortal Kombat, and now this. Really stupid, but I guess it makes sense from a marketing perspective. "
 
 
I don't think this is the 5th game in the series but a reboot, hence forth no number on the end. Its like dante begins more so than devil may cry 5

Of course. Dante is considered badass because the character is very self-conscious and embraces the whole ridiculousness of having an over-the-top design and mannerisms, barely on the edge of being narmy. He's a Goddamn ham and everyone, including him, knows that. I mean, look at this:

  

That's why many people didn't like Nero - he's "edgy" and pretentious instead of a ridiculous over-actor. The new Dante gives the same impression from what we saw.

Also, his design in DMC4 gives a much more Chandleresque-asshole vibe, they should have sticked with that.

The music is from a band called Kap Bambino. Probably. I still can't nail down what song, unfortunately.

" I actually am OK with this. It's still definitely DMC, and there's no indication that Dante's cocky ass personality won't be intact (quite the opposite, in fact!). A redesign/reboot doesn't offend me, Dante is Dante is Dante, he has two guns and a sword. Now let me do incredibly stylish shit. "
exactly. people need to calm down. haha. im looking forward to this.

I am a DMC fan-boy. I really like bayonetta also. I am just getting that out of the road first. 
 
The fighting style is similar to the Dante I know and have a man-crush on.  
The hair is strange to me as Dante, Virgil and Nero having some demon power all had white hair. This led me to believe that they had always had white hair.  (The way it is cut makes him look opaque)
I don't get the smoking ( I am an Ex-smoker ) 
I do like the look of the city and the general mise-en-scene of the trailer. 
I will need to see more information about this game before I will commit to buying this new iteration. If this turns out to be a reboot on the franchise and not just a new one set in the time line. I will need even more convincing, as I would just think that some kind of underhanded skulduggery is going on.

I mean, sure.  It's awful.  But so is Dante's regular design. 
 
It's some warped, ridiculous looking character that only Japanese people could think is in any way cool.

The game itself looks like an ok action game to me.
What i don't get is why they had to name it DMC. It's got nothing to do with it.

Trailer has me more intrigued than a simple screenshot of New Dante did.  
 
If it's Ninja Theory, though... who will Andy Serkis play?

First reaction: DIFFERENT!!!11
Second reaction after digesting it some: .......I like the music. And more punk! Dante could be okay. But I still don't trust you that much >.>

He does look very different, but we'll have to see more about his personality first. Side this said.....nothing. Thus I laugh at the emo comments, though that laughing may bite me in the butt

I'm interested. I hope they're holding back how over the top the cutscenes are though because that looked really tame; especially after working my way through Devil May Cry 4, where every battle cutscene is like a Crank movie in how insane it gets. I've always kind of loved that about the series haha.

I am sooo lost. I thought the series was a fantasy type game on some other planet or something.  I don't know what to make of it, now that it looks modern world now.
