Happy now?

No? lol
It says purportedly reported as a reboot... as in its a assumed its a reboot. Once again thats not Capcom explicitly saying its a reboot is it?
*Sigh* What is the fucking point of arguing with you? If people were assuming that it was a reboot, but it wasn't Ninja Theory or Capcom would come out and say "No no, it's a sequel." or "No, it's not Dante" or all of that crap. They wouldn't leave the world guessing like that. There is nothing worse then being left in the dark.Kurai Angelo said:
If people already assume it's a reboot and are correct, then there isn't really any reason to give an announcement. Look at Valve's E3 announcement, people were assuming that it was an Episode 3 thing, they were wrong and Valve told them flat out.
On an off-topic note, Wikipedia has even listed DmC as a Reboot. They don't add things or allow things to be edited without a trustworthy refrence, so I would assume it's safe to say that, "Yes, it is a Reboot." Please, enough with the denial. You have nothing to back up your theory and the only you're doing now is completely ignoring anything we say.
Ok, I'm just taking this from Ninja Theory's own website but here it goes:
"The next instalment of the multi-million selling Devil May Cry? franchise, DmC sees Capcom collaborating with UK based Ninja Theory to explore new frontiers for the series. DmC is in development for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®3.
From its debut on PlayStation 2 in 2001, the Devil May Cry series has been synonymous with stylish action, rewarding combat and a brash, smart-talking protagonist. This ?Devil May Cry DNA? remains but is now injected with a dark and brutal gameplay that promises to redefine the franchise. Set against a contemporary backdrop, DmC will depict a duplicitous world where nothing is ever as it seems and the line between good and evil is constantly blurred. Spurred into action by the promises of a trusted relation, Dante bursts into this world intent on revenge at any cost. DmCwill retain the series? signature mix of sword and gunplay but add additional weapons, all new powers and a revitalised gameplay system as players encounter the game?s devilish mix of enemies and navigate the rich, interactive environment. A true collaboration, DmCsees the team at Ninja Theory joined by key staff from Capcom?s R&D division. Creative direction for the title will be undertaken by Ninja Theory?s Tameem Antoniades and overseen by Hedeaki Itsuno, who has worked on all previous titles in the series. DmC is being co-produced by Capcom?s Japanese and North American development operations."
Nowhere does it say they are rebooting the franchise, but again, most of it is just filler text, so take of that what you will. So far though, I'm counting it as a pre-prequel

No I'm ignoring what YOU say. The point of this thread was to be about alternate theories, not jumping on the bandwagon. Why shouldnt I question what evryone thinks? Why shouldnt I question an ambiguos trailer? Why should a dev spoon feed you all the information about a game straight away? You cite examples where devs do but I could cite examples where they dont. Look at Dragon Age 2, there are loads of ideas aboiut who the main character is in realation to the wider world and Bioware are keeping their cards close to their chest on his whole identity. And ffs the trailors only been around a short time, if it is Capcoms intention to create speculation theyre not going to dispell it after a fucking week are they?maddawg IAJI said:
My point is people are taking at as just that... Theres a man called Dante with a gun and a sword therefore he must be the same person. Why should he?Eduku said:
I'm not going to say anything about the quality of the character (frankly, I didn't care about the original Dante at all, so...) or the game.
That said, I will say that the OP is wrong, and this is the same Dante redesigned/rebooted or what have you. I'm completely 100% sure on this. Willing to bet $1000 sure.
Going from the trailer alone and combining that with OP thinking, we could also say, "It only says DMC at the end! It probably doesn't even mean Devil May Cry. It's probably Don't Make Cake, the reboot of Portal." But it's not. It's Devil May Cry, and it's Dante.

Havnt seen that... but lol fair fucking play to him. I wouldTOGSolid said:No, it's because of this:SageRuffin said:
The project lead inserted himself into the game.
Thats just twisting my logic. Its quite obviously a devil may cry game... I think ive backed up my theory quite well. Can you back up the fact that youre 100% sure its the original Dante? No you cant. Capcom haven't confirmed it. Hence why these are all theories.tiredinnuendo said:
They will if they will lose money over it. There are a lot of people who are on the fence about the game just based on the idea of this being the new Dante. In the video game industry, a lot of the sales pass on by word of mouth. I say game A is really good, but game B is really bad. Which will you buy?Kurai Angelo said:
The developers aim is to get as many sales on Opening day as possible. Anything afterward will be by word of mouth. If you make a bad triple A game and you only sell a few thousand copies, do you think those who disliked your game will turn to their friends and recommend it? Especially if they're big DMC fans.
What you're doing isn't questioning what everyone else is thinking. It's denial. We have evidence to back our arguments up, granted it isn't much, but it is more then you have to support yours. But when Kotaku and Game Informer and even the Escapist itself says "It's probably a Reboot." then you don't think Capcom may be worried that people may have the wrong idea of the plot or of the direction of the game? There is not releasing a lot of info at once and leaving room for speculation by the fanbase and then there is leaving people with false information.
The latter wouldn't be supported to well and face it, this looks NOTHING like Devil May Cry. If they were to make a sequel to anything, they wouldn't be changing the art design of it, the main character or any major stuff like that.
You don't call ODST a sequel to Halo 3 do you?
We can play the put up or shut up game if you want.Kurai Angelo said:
I have $1000 that says it's the original Dante. If he turns out not to be, we'll work out a payment method via PM's (Paypal, mailed check, whatever). To take this bet, all you have to do is promise to pay me $100 when he does turn out to be the same Dante. That's right. I'm giving you ten to one odds. Want in?
