New Devil May Cry announced

[ZeLunarian]

I have to get my word in here!!

Something tells me that; that is not Dante... As in to say it's not really Dante but, some overpowered nutjob who thinks himself some sorta badass GOD (as is the Dante we knew).

But maybe the whole reboot thing debunks my lil' ol' theory ):
still looking forward to this... Not excited. but little excites me when it comes to something as un-informative as teasers are~

I'm guessing it's a younger Dante. He doesn't want people to know he's Sparda's son so he dyed his hair white. Trying to "fit in" I guess. Dante can always give up smoking too.

If this game is done right and shows Dante's rise from scrawny little ***** to the king of badassery he is in DMC3 then I'm completely on board. By the end of the game he should have his coat, have Rebellion and be sporting his white hair. Only then will I even remotely call this a great character choice for Dante.

Are we gonna have another inFAMOUS thing here? It looks like we might.

Calumon: Wow, does he cry in the end?

To be fair though, they did change it back to the bald guy, from what ive seen (Not a ps3 gamer, so dont keep up on it)

OT: No, no no, no no no no no, this shit will not fly. If thats Dante (THe video on Kotaku wasent working) then im done, from what i could see from the screen shots, some random dude just came in, stole bits from Dante and Nero's cloths, and bolted out of the office, and if thats the plot for 5 im going to shoot someone.

Dante with black hair ..... THATS IT ARTIST/CREATOR KILLING TIME

he has white hair growing, you can see like a stain on top of his head

 

[Krajin]

You know what would make this game sweet? Take out whoever that guy (girl?) is and put ryu hayabusa in its place....that would make the game pre ordered in my books...hell id even go to midnight launch...

Well, Ninja Gaiden 3 got announced...

 

[ReSpawn]

...Dante...

...wank...

...I would have drank deeply.

Seriously... What?

(IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF CONTEXT. AMIRITE? ...Am I right? [small][small]Guys?[/small][/small])

I certainly laughed.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

ugh.....you could at least have given us vergil.

This. A series really needs a reboot because it's shit. All they had to do was take DMC 3, make Vergil the protagonist and change the story.

A DMC with Vergil as protagonist would be pretty awesome. It could follow the events of DMC 3, with Vergil in the demon world.

See what we just did there? We made a good DMC game (in concept) without taking artistic or stylistic liberties with the material. Why was that so hard for them to do?

I'm expecting an inFAMOUS style flip flop, because no one will like this.

 

[Flack]

Either have the young Dante, or the ruggedly handsome Dante from DMC4. Not what ever "that" is.

You thought he was ruggedly handsome too? The way his stubble was bla-I mean, uh, ya. What happened?

How could anyone not think he was ruggedly handsome! Like you said, the stubble, chiseled jawline, playful yet deadly attitude. =D

 

[shadow skill]

THAT IS NOT FUCKING DANTE!! THAT IS AN IMPOSTER!! seriously what the fuck has Capcom done?! the face looks nothing like Dante's, he's too thin, his voice isn't right and since when the fuck does Dante smoke? well done Capcom you have just given the Devil May Cry fans the biggest "fuck you" you possibly could by letting a different developer get near the DMC series . Yes if you couldn't tell i am pissed off about what they are doing.

Seriously the series does not need a reboot! Why can't they just make another one with Dante and Nero again seeing as at the end of DMC4 Nero asks Dante if he'll see him again and Dante just waves as if to say "see ya later" as if giving us a hint that Nero would be in the next one again. But no instead they completely reboot the series and make Dante look like an emo 16 year old.

Also what's the point in rebooting the series if there is still so much stuff unanswered like practically everything about Nero. You can't just jam a new character in a game and let us know almost nothing about him. There's still so much unanswered story from 4 to go off of! Who is Nero really? How did he gain his arm? Is he housing the soul of Dante's brother Virgil and that's why he managed to resurrect Yamato? Will Dante have to fight him again, or can they be a team against the demons? Isn't there enough there to at least start to continue the story with?

I was waiting and waiting for a new DMC to be announced and it has been and i was like YAY!! now i don't even want to know it exists.

They already explained that Nero was one of Dante's brothers, his right arm changed when he was younger. Nero says this during the cutscene where he activates his devil trigger. I still would have liked them to make Nero his own person that dressed and behaved differently from Dante. To me it felt like the team responsible for DMC4 was terrified hence Nero being as close to Dante as possible. I did feel like they had run out of ideas with DMC4, the Exceed system was pathetic and the Devil Bringer had to be one of the most underutilized mechanics I have ever had to deal with in a game. Dante's weapons were a case of been there and done that for the most part and the two new weapons were not all that interesting to use.

As someone who has been playing DMC since the first game I had to wonder how they were expecting to sell DMC5 in a world populated by the likes of Ninja Gaiden, God of War, and Bayonetta if they just kept doing what they have been doing since DMC 1 and 3. Someone made the point that DMC4 sold something like 2.5 million copies but that only sounds good when you ignore the fact that this game was released on three platforms. I think a reboot is justified just not this particular character design. Though I think everyone should be more concerned about the combat in this game.

 

[vanthebaron]

i would like to see tthis as 1 of 2 things. 1: dante pre-powers or 2: dante and lady's kid

 

[ShotgunSmoke]

Oh Dante, what have they done to you?

Well, at least he's smoking, that gives him some cool points. Still, nothing can justify the fact that he looks like

Lisbeth Salander from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

...I don't think it's that bad -.-
Looks interesting, actually.
And I'm a DMC fan, too.
