Hey, who's this guy...? Oh, it's fucking DANTE. What do you reckon about the re-design?

Capcom: "The next Devil May Cry will have more of a western touch, and is being developed by Ninja Theory."


ABOVE: Dante from Devil May Cry in his younger years (younger than in DMC3)

Yeah... He totally does have a "Western" influence. I guess...

It seems loads of people hate it, but what do you think of this "new" Dante, Escapist? It kind of pisses me off how they pretty much completely scrapped the old look we all know and love, but it should work out. He seems to still remain cool while being a bit emo looking. I hope he is still extremely badass, and is still funny and cool. Not serious and subdued.


"Problem, gamers?"

EDIT: After having time to reflect, I'm coming around to the idea. And guys, the hair colour makes sense, trust me.

White hair is a demonic trait, but he didn't always have it due to being half-human. However, in the trailer, you can see the white coming through. You can even see it in the picture!

Also, he is wearing a vest (not shirtless), and I don't see a problem with him smoking.

EDIT 2: I guess the reason he is beat up because he's in a police lineup. I reckon he doesn't have Wolvie-style healing yet because his demon powers haven't come full swing at his young age (17, 18?). Hence his not-so-demonic hair.

EDIT 3: Dudes/Lady-Dudes, we don't exactly know his personality yet, so don't jump the gun. But the trailer starts with him casually smoking and proceeding to stub it out on a demon's face; then it ends with him just chilling out on top of a really tall building. What we know of "DmC" Dante so far is:

-Young, around 17 years old.
-In a Young Offenders Rehab Center. (Looks like a bad place)
-Demon powers not fully developed?
-Seems to be very rebellious
-Voice is more "brutal" but not raspy
-Smokes
-His name is Dante

Important EDIT:

Team Ninja made Metroid Other M, Ninja Gaiden and Dead Or Alive.

Ninja Theory made Heavenly Sword, as well DmC (this) and the looking-good, upcoming Enslaved: Journey To The West.


Full picture


Check out the silver in his hair, and the overall redness of the coat. Oh, and that big fucking scythe, too.


Pictured: Pew Pew Pew


Looks like someone has been checking out some Assassin's Creed 2 screens!


He's super cereal about blowing off demon's heads.


Look at them guns.


Just chilling on a gargoyle. No problem.

Holy crap you guys! This thread really took off, and it was just a picture of the new Dante! I even got the "On Fire" badge for having a thread with over 10,000 views. So, I guess, thank you, Escapist.

And depending on your outlook, I'm either sorry to be the bearer of bad news or glad to have provided you with this news!

That is in no way shape or form Dante. No matter how anyone tries to justify that is not Dante and i refuse to accept any explanations.

Looks more like Morrigan from Dragon Age, than it does Dante. I am not amused.

Anybody who knows absolutely anything about Dante knows his white hair is his most characteristic feature. Why on earth would you remove that?

Seriously? I'm sat here trying to think of a reason and nothing springs to mind. You wouldn't suddenly make Sonic green or make Lara Croft an A-cup.

I'm going to send them an angry email!

Eugh, jesus. It's a remake, it's not supposed to look like the white haired guy. Same name, same characters but I'm pretty sure this is a new story. A story outside the accepted DMC storyline.

Well I'll be honest I'm not too fussed what Dante looks like, as look as I can kick as with him. And if for some reason Dante is unavailable as long as they give us someone cool like Nero

He no longer has a red jacket. It is now a red and black, hooded jacket. He also has a more raspy voice, and he smokes. He seems to be a bit less playful too.

EDIT: But, er, I dunno, it could work out. Hell, it's a more valid argument than "Sonic's eyes are green now".

As I said in the other thread, he looks like Lisbeth Salander from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I hate the re-design. He just looks stupid and arrogant.
Wasn't that the point of the old Dante?

A horrid, horrid atrocity.

He looks like someone else entirely!

Changing the look is fine, but this looks like a different fucking person!
