Best thing I've read the whole day. Thank you.
Pay it forward.

Know what I hate? Fans of things.

If it was up to fans, nothing would ever change or develop in any significant way. everything that ever existed would stay exactly the way it originally was.

I want this game to do SO well that no one even remembers the 4 games that came before it.

Also, your hero? the one who's "wise-cracking" and "funny" and "badass"? He's actually pretty poorly written and lazily voice acted consistently.

And for all the talk about him being "emo," most of you (not all) are giving the impression that you are whiny bitches.

And he looks younger, not really more effeminate. Of course he's going to look like that if he's younger. And I really can't understand how this picture is any more effeminate than in other DMC games. It's just Japanese game design.

I haven't played any of the Devil May Cry's except for parts of DMC4 and I disliked it. This does look interesting, but it's not that big of a blip on my radar.

Eh, I don't think they're my type of games anyway, I prefer God of War combat to Devil May Cry's (at least I do compared to the DMC4 gameplay). I'm not in any real hurry to play the previous ones (Unless Sony makes a collection...)

Never played the game, but I did watch the anime (fun, but awful). And I have say... whuh? Sooo, Dante... Um... I understand that your childhood certainly was grim... I guess the reason why you changed into the hot-headed showoff in DMC3 was because no one like you as an emo kid.

Why is everyone freaking out about this? They're still the same emo young adult, the only differences being hair color and realism level. Honestly, Dante was never supposed to be the most liked character, just a demonic angst-filled kid.

That's amusing. Silly emo kids. :p

Anyway - that pic of the new "Dante". Though I can still see Dante in there...somewhere, I'm not really liking it right now. It may just be a shock of the new though, give it time.

I do find this whole "appeal to western audiences" thing they have going on. While you can see the reason behind it, personally the reason I sometimes like games and characters like this is because, well, they don't loook western. After all, we've got western games for that sort of thing.

I like it (if its a reboot)
If the game is a reboot of DMC it could work, I don't hate the look but theres no way that he grows into Dante as we know him. But if they are reinventing Dante I think a new look is a good thing. he seems to have an attitude that matches the old Dante, but how much do you wanna bet that this game get shit about the smoking.

My first DMC game was the third one and I LOVED IT. Played some of the fourth and most of the first game. "just so people know where I'm coming from"


-I was very shocked to see the new design, and the trailer has be a little tweaked as well. HOWEVER, it looks like they are trying to give him a more "punk rock" kind of feel, which would actually couple nicely with the game play you want in a DMC game. I'm not going to shun this game, though I will be somewhat cautious of it. As much as I loved what I'd played of DMC, I'm pretty sure the general consensus of the 4th one was somewhat "meh". The new art direction "again, urban punk rock what have you" could actually work pretty well. We will just have to wait and see. For those who haven't seen the trailer, check it out as this image from the OP is somewhat BEGGING for fan bombardment, I really don't see why they chose to use it.
