*sigh* take this as you will... but i'm not even going to bother. Youre detracting from the point of this.Arkhangelsk said:
So he says his name's Dante and you all just assume...

It's probably a prequel or some other universe... I haven't played the DMC games so I don't know. Notice how it didn't say Devil May Cry? It said DMC which means it could pull something out of it's pocket you weren't expecting.
Right now, any theory is just as correct as each other.
'J' you can't go devil's advocate so you can win the argument. You're saying it is Devil May Cry and the original Dante and later on you're saying are you sure it's Devil May Cry? I see where you're argument is coming from "You can't say it's not Devil May Cry without proving it is"Kurai Angelo said:

Oddly enough Kotaku, Game Informer and the Escapist aren't all knowing entitues theyre actually just made of regular people! Regular people who are required to report on the current status of games from their own perspective, whatever that may be. Just because they say it, it doesnt mean its a fact.maddawg IAJI said:
You say they wouldnt change the main character of the series? One word.... NERO.
You say they wouldnt change the art design? The angel inspired demons of DMC4 are a far cry from the bloody marionettes of the first game.
No, you're assuming it's Devil May Cry because it says DMC. Why shouldn't we criticize that when you criticize that we think it's a reboot, because A)His name is Dante. B)He has the same outfit as the "old" Dante. C)The developers have mentioned an interest in going for a more western approach, and D)If it is a Devil May Cry 5, it would have a 5 at the end presumably.Kurai Angelo said:
Oh, and to add another point, why would the creator of the original Dante be disappointed in Ninja Theory's design if this wasn't the same Dante, but a different character. Why would he feel hurt if this was a character that wasn't relevant to his original idea?
DMC4 still had the original Dante, just as the presumed villain, and through the second half, you got to PLAY as him!Kurai Angelo said:
A)More than one person can have the same nameArkhangelsk said:
B)He quite clearly doesnt have the same outfit... Being red doesnt make it the same.
C)Uhhh so? Western approach = reboot?
D)Presumably it would... give me the law that says it must. New character, new series. Same game.
Were all my points taken separately for different games, they would be irrelevant. But take all together, it's a bit suspicious. And why would Kotaku and Escapist say it was a reboot if they weren't sure it was one, otherwise they'd later have to apologize for misleading their readers and giving false information.Kurai Angelo said:
Also, read my edited in part at post before.
1) Nero sees Dante as the Antagonist. Dante is still in the game, his motives have not change and he plays a major role in the game. The game keeps Dante as a main character.Kurai Angelo said:
2) That's a different enemy. Different games often have different enemies. Doom had flaming skull enemies known as Lost souls. Doom 3, also had a lost soul enemy, they share similarites, but they look nothing alike. Still, they share the same origin, the developers just decided on a different look given the technology they had in the early 00s. When I said artwork, I was more or less referring to the whole world they created.
3) Yes, they are not all knowing entities. But they are in fact rather big names in gaming news and are widely read. A lot of people read Kotaku, so what Kotaku says has a big affect on these people. If they have false information and it impacts sales negatively, do you think Capcom would let it slide?
I've never really been a fan of Devil May Cry, but I say let them mix it up a bit. We all complain about there being no new ideas in games, but when a series tries to go in a new direction, people *****. Did I ***** when Bioshock was not in Rapture anymore? No, because its in the sky now, and I thought it was nice to get a change in scenery.
Oh well, people just don't like change. I don't think he looks THAT bad. Don't know what's up with that necklace or the hair, but he looks pretty cool.

Dante original or new Dante, whatever the character looks fine. If the game is fun to play does it really matter what the character looks like? Again I ask, are you people this damn shallow?
I don?t play DMC, so I know nothing about the games or the characters. But, speaking to the nature of the OP, it makes sense to assume that this is the same Dante. Would it be cool if it were a child named after the hero, or maybe his namesake? Yes. Is it a likely scenario? No.
You're going to be looking at this guy and controlling him for anywhere up to 7-10 hours. If you were stuck on an island with someone for the rest of your life, would you pick a swimsuit model or a hobo? The personality of the character doesn't have to change, but when you have control on a way to make them look anyway you want, you'd aim to make them appeal to people. Not to mention that appearence can lead to jumps on how the character will act.EcksTeaSea said:
Just looking at Kratos and you can draw from his expression, his scars and his large blades, you can draw that he is a rather angry and brutal person. What do you think people can infer from looking at Dante?
Oh man. o__O'TOGSolid said:No, it's because of this:SageRuffin said:
The project lead inserted himself into the game.
Sorry to be off topic but this is driving me insane. Can someone PLEASE messo me telling how to make your own thread! I've been trying for ages and it's becoming a real headache. Thanks
Well, Occam's Razor states that the simplest answer is usually the right one. So yeah, there's probably a reason why all these fanboys are goin' off the chain. I don't care personally, but I still find it funny, myself.Kurai Angelo said:
They are trying to de anime/jrock the series which is silly because the theme worked its just level design, core mechanics and story need work...of coarse thats why we have not seen an Onimusha or Mega man on the consoles Capcom is very bad at refining a game for smoother 3rdPerson play control, Hell even Konami had to clone god of war for the CV series which only needed work on level design, core mechanics and story.... I think they are just unable to create solid 3rd person action games of games they have done a ton of 2D work with.Kurai Angelo said:
DMC would benefit from a proper behind the cam 3rd person view this would work well if level design is updated and scaled up a tad, then use that basic game setup to build a foundation for a "metroid prime" like Mega man game. IE a 3rdperson/1stperson with a simple auto lock button(which by default would be used to change target otherwise it would be off and you have to manually aim).It can be done but between over simplification and the inability to make a decent game for the series on the console, I dunno I doubt they will put 110% into it they always seem to put about 60% into it at best....
