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

[Tony2077]

<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.

i agree with this but the game may still be fun so I'll wait to pass judgment on the whole game

Devil May Cry: Zombie Apocalypse

I'm less pissed by the change, than I am about the fact that 'more Western' seems to equal hood rat. Way to stereotype Western youth.

But on the note of the acutal change, it might work as long as there's decent explanation given. Sure it doesn't look like Dante, but seeing as Dante and Leon Kennedy both share a brain now, it might be interesting to see if this edition of Dante pulls him away from his human, zombie slaying brother.

 

[TheGreenManalishi]

The hell? That ain't Dante, he had a cool white mod cut with a fringe. This new chick looks nothing like him.

 

[theSovietConnection]

Wow, that is quite the change. Never really got into the Devil May Cry series though.

[sub]Am I the only one who thought "zombie" at first glance?[/sub]

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

looks like a chick with short hair

 

[Woodsey]

That still looks like a very Japenese-y design, just not the same one as before. Not really sure what the western influence is supposed to be.

 

[JacobPlackett]

Wow, he looks even more like a female than the last one

 

[Casual Shinji]

This is gunna be him by the next game

I would take that goth kid with the afro over the new Dante any ol' day of the week.

Seriously, that's not a bad idea.

SALAMANDERJOE THEORY IN-COMING!! [sub]I am generally right 76% of the time...[/sub]

I have a theory. This is Dante before Devil May Cry 3, where Ninja Theory has set the story, BEFORE his demonic powers all come into play via his Rebellion sword. This is the reason why he is beaten up, has no white hair present and arrested by the police. The story is also set around his mother's death, him going out against them naughty naughty demons, getting his original sword nd pissing off Virgil somehow. End of theory.

EDIT: Ooooooooor.......its Dante's son.

 

[RanD00M]

Now I have only played the first Devil May Cry. But I do own the fourth one. But even I can tell you that that is in no way nor form Dante. That's just some asshole in prison.

 

[Sylveria]

Well it was a nice series while it lasted. Guess I'll just have to enjoy 1, 3 and 4 for the rest of time. Maybe Bayonetta 2 will come out and dull the pain.

I'm sorry sir, your name is not Dante. Your name is Keith Richards circa 1965. You require more electrical shock treatment.

Okay.. as crazy as this theory sounds.. it could work if like maybe 2 hours in something happens that makes him start looking like the Dante we known and love. As it is, him looking like some strung out heroine addict is going to alienate western and Asian players.

 

[Ulquiorra4sama]

Hm... I just noticed i'm just about as tall as Dante.

OT: I was never much for the DMC series, but i do know that Dante is supposed to have white hair. If i hadn't seen this then i wouldn't be able to recognize his Dante-ism at all. (Yeah, i know that's not a real word, so what?)

True, but you just know they're gunna make him one of the preppy douche bag vampires instead.

No seriously, having that kid in his own game where he slays demons would be awesome. And everytime he kills one he'll speak in his nasally goth voice and say, "conformist" or "You just don't know what real pain is".

Somebody needs to make this game.

 

[Tony2077]

sorry fanbase we don't like you anymore we want a new smaller one

 

[Krajin]

Looks like they are doin to dante what they did to james bond when they casted daniel craig...that sucks.

 

[hurfdurp]

Despite having absolutely no allegiance to the original Dante, this looks pretty horrible. I would be upset if he was a character I cared about.
