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

At least Europeans can't say that "Americans fucked up another classic series again!" For an example, see "Silent Hill: Homecoming."

gah...rage... oh so much rage... I get that it's a different Dante and all but really, calling him Dante makes about as much sense as calling him Jeff, Jeff could be half demon just as easily and perhaps people would be slightly more accepting of his smoking, emo ****** of a self

Hey everyone i dont know if this was already posted, but go to the trailer and pause at 0:59. His white hair is growing in, for whatever reason.

The game is most likely about him becoming the dante everyone is familiar with(or maybe his son), i dont like his hair but the rest is fine for me(although not really into dmc). I'm guessing by the end of the game he will resemble the normal dante.
Although it did bother me when they changed cole from infamous, infamous 2 is a direct sequel, it made no sense to change him.

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.
Holy shit, he does!!!! I didn't even realize that. Good call there, Fargo ^-^

Still, I think this look is ridiculous. It doesn't work with Dante's character. I mean, the clothes and basic appearance is right, but the hair is what pisses me off the most. He's got white hair. That's the mark of a demon. That's what makes him notable.

Though I'm mainly mad that they're going to do another goddamn prequel. I want to know what happened to him at the end of 2. Everything since then has been prequels in one way or another.

Dante's son?
Sure.

Dante's younger self?
No!
I hope you're right. This is too much of a retcon to hold, and there is no more of Dante's backstory to tell unless we really want to know what life was like for him while he was just hunting demons for money.
I could go for that. Ha, maybe Dante was egotistical enough to name his son after himself. This could be one of those spin-offs which take place way in the future after the main series. They haven't numbered this DMC, for one thing.

I actually like it, apart from the hairstyle. Change back to the long white hair, or even just make the current hair longer and scruff it up a bit, and it'd be an awesome design.

He reminds me of Edward Norton in Fight Club.
Like this?

Since when has the numbering ever mattered in DMC? So far the order goes 3 then 1 then 4 then 2. WTF?

I hate it, it feels like the developer is aiming for the pop market emo teenage vampire crowd and i hate that.

I have no idea why they've done this, i have no faith in ninja theory, capcom is the only company i've seen who can deliver the level of polish dmc deserves.

He looks a bit less femme, a bit less like anime fangirl-service, and a bit more butch. The problem in this is, he doesn't look butch enough. Here's hoping that with a bit more work, they can finally get Dante out of creepy androgyny territory.

It's funny how everyone calling him emo and yet you are the one who are crying and bitching.
He's NOT an emo.

It's not necessarily that he is emo, so much as he happens to look the part.

To confirm whether or not he's emo, we'd have to know about his personality, and all we know about that at this point is that (1)he's no longer magnificently arrogant, and (2)he's trying too hard to be cool. Actually, we only know the first part. The second is speculation.

Accordingly, this isn't canon, it's a remake.
Provided this is true, I'm fairly irritated because there is no reason for a remake of this series and should have just done a true sequel to DMC 2. The looks is somewhat stupid but his hair does change in it so there isn't 'no white hair.' thing going.

I also don't think Dante's emo. Well, no moreso than Kratos or Cloud.
I think he's more of that annoying angst-filled teen.

As long as they keep his humorous cocky badass self, i can deal with the shitty character design.

Wow, what? Seriously? Have they hired blind people to create the new character? I'm sorry but that is plain ridiculous, he should have at least kept the stylish white hair, it was a signature of his. Then they could of "Westernised" the face slightly and gotten away with it. But this? NO.

This looks like a really bad cosplayer who got in a drunken fight D=.

I don't like his silhouette, his clothes, hair plus he comes off as a smoking advertisement, it just doesn't add anything to his character. I'm not sure who they are aiming at because I doubt he appeals to younger fans either.

Apart he looks really clumsy in the gun play parts of the preview, Tentacle sword action looks really unconvincing even though it's totally scripted atm.

Very meh.

what's the problem here

I like his new style, fits the age he's supposed to represent, right?
