It's actually good that everybody turns down their hopes for this game, for it's the only tway that it'll be able to surprise them. No matter how good a game is, people will always, ALWAYS bitch about how the original was miles better. So, it doesn't matter if it had been a carbon copy of DMC1 or not.  
 
Why? Because people will always bitch.

But many people prefer the third game, including myself.

I didn't enjoy the combat in Ninja Theory's previous games and I don't particularly like the design/atmosphere of what they've shown of DMC so far, whereas I absolutely love the mood of several of the previous games and prefer the combat over any others in the genre.

Is it wrong to be a bit annoyed by the way they're handling the game?

It give me hope. It's like watching a child learning to walk.

With each subsequent trailer, it appears that it's slowly moving toward something substantial and appropriate.

That being said it still needs a ton of work, and it's "Work in Progress" annotation, cannot be overstated here. The fluidity of the animations, by comparison to previous games is still not there yet. They don't look like "combo's", they look like static attacks beginning and ending. There's no flow yet. I'm still concerned regarding if the Unreal engine was a smart choice for Devil May Cry. There's also a lack of enemies on-screen in comparison to previous games.

But again, this is all work in-progress. I'm happy the gameplay looks to be more akin to Devil May Cry. For a moment there, I was concerned Ninja Theory would take the combat the route of Heavenly Sword or Enslaved. Both game's combat mechanics have no business being in a Devil May Cry game.

I guess the next issue now, will be trying to sell me on this heroin stricken homeless junkie as a viable replacement concerning a character that most people like, because he's specifically not a dark brooding individual.

I want to like this game, hope these guys can pull it off, but I'm not sold at all yet.

I miss the old Dante. He was so badass. Seriously, I WANT THE ENDING TO DMC 2 already. Friken cliffhanger that will never be answered.

Looks ace. And common guys, give the game a chance. Only because they're doing something different with the character design doesn't mean it's gonna be a bad game.

As someone who has never played a DMC game, and has loved all Ninja Theory games, this looks pretty kick ass.

While a lot of complaints people have about games are just a hair away from pure stupidity, I have to say....the term 'bitching' used towards legitimate gripes people have with a game's design aesthetic, combat system, or portrayal of a main character is really a silly term to use. I don't particularly like the gameplay shown here. I didn't like DMC4, and I'm not that arsed going back to the series that has had, at best, a 50-50 success rate. I can understand why people don't like the game in the hands of Ninja Theory, and I can also understand why some people would like to see a more Bayonetta-esque game come out of this title...because let's face it, given the previous DMC title, Bayonetta was everything that game was not, and I do love Bayonetta...in fact it was really more of a DMC game than 4. 
 
People disliking the design is actually pretty important. I never played FF9, mostly because the game art just didn't appeal to me, but apparently I missed out. But the weird art design, completely backtracking on previous FF titles, rubbed me the wrong way. And just like that, from something you could view as trivial, but many people would view with agreement, Square lost a few customers. It might not be a lot, but it must have been enough, as the very next big FF game was back to realistic looking characters. What I'm saying is, people disliking the look of a game is never good, I can look at some games and love every aspect of it, and that game will draw me, appealing to me in such a way that I'll have a vested interest in it from day one. DMC, no matter how it turns out, will not be on my purchase list, because it doesn't draw me in. It's taking its place along side AC: Revelations, and a few other titles.

Never played a DMC game before so I won't comment on the character redesign/reboot. I guess this looks pretty cool?

Devil May Cry is dead to me unless they have Hideki Kamiya make the game again. Ninja Theory is full of assholes that disrespect people who are angry with the game design choices. Dante has the stupid hair style of their creative director Tameem Antoniades, such dicks.

This is beginning to look like the Max Payne kungfu mod.

Combat looks great. Character design does not.
