The gameplay looks like DMC, which is good. But I'm still not digging Dante's look.

this game looks pretty not bad, glad they're sticking with the new version of Dante.

Though it looks like his hair goes all white for the anime kids at certain points.

So his Devil Trigger is he turns into original Dante? Watch, at the ending he'll just get "stuck" in that mode, then everyone can be happy.

Not sure how I feel about this, something about the art style just struck me the wrong way. Action still looked good and while I like the concept art of the new Dante I just don't think it has translated very well into in game graphics.

Edit: I'm digging the music

"Work in progress gameplay"

That just breathes confidence.

Edit: The hair cut bugs me. It's the shaved on the sides full on top look that I don't appreciate; it's like he was going to go for a Mohawk but chickened out half way.

I know i'm gonna get a torrent of shit for this but, I almost prefer this look to his old look. I mean at least he has a shirt on. Who wears a leather jacket without a shirt?

This looks... pretty bad, graphically.  Reallly uninteresting enemy design from what they showed, and the graphics on Dante himself just look plain bad no matter how you feel about the new look.  When is this being released, again?  Because they need at the least another year or so to make it look on par with a good PS2 game.

Totally expect a rattail with that hair cut. Flash to the end of phantom menace when they showed young anakin with the obi wan hair style.

Don't like the look of the game at all. The teaser trailer that was first released for this looked infinitely more interesting. I hope they didn't back down on the style or anything just because of stupid ass fanboys that will never be satisfied.

don't mind that he doesn't have white hair, but I'm not digging the sloppy looking side shave/messed up mohawk thing he's got going on. I'm wondering if there is gonna be any of the Ninja Theory performance capture magic involved in this... maybe Andy Serkis will show up somewhere?

Work in Progress? Thank god for that because it certainly looks that way. Graphics look washed out, the environments have that same icky blandess from DMC2 and the overall hackin' n slashin' doesn't look as fluid as DMC4--nor as powerful. And though I've got little against the new Dante look, did they have to make him almost Ethiopian skinny? His character model in general resembles a small action figure. 
 
Still, some great music at least.

Don't know if it the graphics or maybe it has to do with it being a trailer and not real time gameplay, but the whole thing looks off. 
 
Like the sounds don't go with the attacks. Anyways, at least they found a common ground with his look, the white hair DT is kinda ok.

Haha. I think maybe it's just his hair that turns white? 
 
He has awful hair though. Not fabulous at all.

Awful, just sooo fucking awful.Honestly it's a real disgrace to Devil May Cry series. At least seems like every real fan thinks the same.
DMC4 who was finished in late 2007 with MT Framework engine in 60 fps,looks hundred times better than this pile of dog shit of UE3 with barely 30 stable fps.
Seems like Capcom are just idiots who don't understand that you can't give established franshise to ''shitty'' western developers, who don't know how to do great action games.They just can't learn enough from past mistakes.
From one of the biggest backlash to Capcom in TGS 2010,this travesty just repeats itself.
I hope to God that there's DMC5 after this game bombs hard,if not you can already say R.I.P.

What if they put a leather strap over his nipples? Would you be into it then?

Not a big fan of the series but have to admit that Dante in this looks rather generic & unimaginative.

Seeing as I don't spend too much time staring at Dante's face, I'm not too worried. The only problem might be with the cutscenes - can this portrayal of Dante match up to the ridiculousness I've come to expect? Can't wait to play this game.

Why is everyone trashing this game?  O.O 
It looks hella Devil May Cry and the graphical changes like the world being washed out and then coming into more vivid color look pretty interesting. 
Fuck, people.  They made him have white hair, what more do you want?!

Was hoping Ninja Theory of all developers would smoothen out the animation.  I guess the erratic DMC combat doesn't really lend itself to smooth animation, but it still looks quite jerky.

Fuck this game and the movie they are basing on it.

Seriously.

I want good old Dante back and the movie to have good old cocky, fun loving Dante.
