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

Wow, so instead of just making a new character, with new abilities and a unknown story they are just redoing DMC3. Well lets face it last time they tried to make a new character they just made Dante again.

Still the new style might be interesting but the fanboys wont like it.

Its not Dante...

But its not the first time they've used a different character in a DMC game, either (even if DMC4's protagonist was virtually identical to Dante...)

I think they're main mistake was in giving him Dante's name - if it was someone else, but still a DMC game, I think that would have been better.

Dante's 6'2"? Yes, I actually noticed the height. Also, isn't Dante supposed to have white hair? And be wearing something closer to a red trench coat? Y'know, the classic image that even someone who's never played a Devil May Cry game recognizes?

Oh hey, a video game with a lesbian protagonist. That's pretty c- What do you mean that's Dante?

Seriously, I don't hate it because it changes the look. I hate it because it looks awful. The supposedly male character looks way too much like a female inmate. I haven't played any of the Devil May Cry games, but I hope he's not supposed to be the emo girly man this picture makes him look like.
That first line really made me giggle xD

OT: I don't really play Devil May Cry much, but even I recognise Dante when I see him around the internet.
I really think they should've kept the white hair at least. :/ He looks nothing like Dante, at all.
Might as well be a brand new character from a completely different game. >_>

What? Where's Dante? Is he behind that rather tall Edward Cullen cos-player? Maybe he's the one taking the picture. Is this the new DMC girl? Because I'm okay with that, really.

You freaking ninja, I was just about to make a "new Dante" thread.

The original Dante looked stupid, but it was this campy J-rock image that just worked. This new Dante looks like Hilary Swank.

I bet he cuts himself in the bathroom, and cries in his pillow every night because none of the girls at Limbo High even know he EXISTS, despite his edgy male make-up! Then he listens to that My Chemical Romance song that is TOTALLY ABOUT HIM and lets his window open so the girl next door can listen and realize he's totally cool. Someday she'll dump that prick Adam and realize he's nothing more than a bully, and come running to his open arms, because he's sensitive, not like Adam, that jock bully. Maybe he'll even show her the song lyrics that he wrote about them meeting in Hell and then breaking free because of the strength of their love. Shit, that's totally going on Facebook.

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?
Personality wise, yes. But at least his design didn't make me want to punch him in the face.
I always thought his design was abit generic, especially when compared to most anime characters with a dark past:
Red coat
Big sword
White hair
Prick
:Then Nero went and wrapped it all up with that Bionic arm. Although this new look proberly wont lead to anything interesting at least their trying with this one.

Huh, I guess you're right. Me, I just miss his old bishonen design.

Well guess what game I'm shunning before it's release. Reboots are a stupid idea for games and I hope this new DMC flops to show them what fans want.

Wow, they really went all out on the emo look, the purple on his eyes that I assume to be bruises by the battered look of the rest of his face looks far more like eyeshadow than anything else.

I don't actually play the Devil May Cry games[footnote]Well I played the first one but that was a very long time ago.[/footnote] so this doesn't really affect me if they keep it but I think they should really consider a different look.

<color=red>What the fuck. Is that. Shit.

That isn't Dante. That can't be Dante. This has to be a joke. If not, I suggest we Devil May Cry fans stream some mail to Ninja Theory and tell them to redesign. Sucker Punch did it for Infamous 2, so we should try to get Ninja Theory to do the same. This is goddamn horrible.
