Within the past year, there has been a lot of negative feedback regarding Dante's new look, who the chosen developer was, as well as the whole atmosphere of the game. So, my fellow Escapist, I bring you here mainly to look for opinions regarding the current development of the soon to be newest addition to the Devil May Cry series.
With little to no footage regarding gameplay and design, we've thus discerned that Dante has a black short hairdo with tattered and ragged clothing, most likely considering is frail and weak appearance from being held captive, as shown by the original trailer. Recently from the E3 2011 trailer, we've also learned that Dante's hairdo will turn white whenever an ability, similar to Devil Trigger, is activated. Other noticeable things from the most recently trailer include a similar gamestyle from the previous games and the possible addition of some items which include his original sword, a larger two-handed axe, Cerberus(Icy nunchucks), a jagged shield of some-sort, and his two trademark firearms, Ebony and Ivory.
Although that this game may be a redesign, the recent footage shows many similarities to the original series, so it's quite possible that this game will be a mere mimic of Devil May Cry 3.
But, is this a bad thing necessarily?: I really do not think so in my defense. We've seen so little regarding the game's structure, story, character design, and plot. So how could we be so critical when we know so little about the development of this controversial title.
All biased opinions aside, I believe that most folks should at least look past the different character design, atmosphere, and qualities to give this game a fair chance. After all, this is a redesign, not the original, so there isn't much ground for comparison. So please, leave your thoughts, opinions, or suggestions regarding everything besides Dante's appearance since we already know where that will lead. I'm curious to see so.
