To the pissed off DMC fans...

[Josh Kurber]

Besides, I wanted to see a DMC 5 that either takes places after 2 or 4. Seriously. Either clip off that cliffhanger or continue on with the bit where Dante, Trish and Lady blast throught the door ready to kick ass.

I am with you on that one. I've been wondering who the hell was riding the motorcycle in DMC2. It COULD have been Dante, since the games were pretty corny... but then again, it was said the portal closed and he couldn't get out, ever. I mean, Vergil only got out with the help of Mundus.

I see an easy way to fix that too. Something really bad happens. Trish contacts Nero to help get Dante and save the world. You spend the first four or five missions as Nero going to X place to use Yamato to open a gate to hell. During this time you get all the little tutorial stuff out of the way and maybe learn something about his past. Then, for the next five to ten missions, you are Dante in hell. You have to make your way to the gateway Nero opened. Then, the last five to ten mission could be Dante beating the hell out of whatever big bad happens to be threatening the world.
I spent no more than five minutes coming up with this, and honestly I like it.

You know, I do too. But I more expected for the ending of Devil May Cry series to be epic. Main characters dying off in a big war against some of the biggest baddies Dante has fought, like Mundus returning, along with Mundus' father, since Mundus was known as the PRINCE of Darkness, or so I heard in the first game. And all of the Demons pissed off at Sparda return at once to wreak havoc. I expect Nero to have been sneak attacked, thinking he and Kyrie finally found peace, and then Lady would be overwhelmed and killed, of course. Lucia and Trish would die off in some other ways, maybe being taken prisoner, and Dante actually gets HURT for once, instead of God moding everything. I mean, how many times has he been stabbed in the chest? -.-

EDIT: And in the end he gives his life to seal the Demons away once more, just like his father had done, except the seal is more powerful, since he has surpassed his father.

Well... Dante has stupid fast healing powers. The fight between him and Deadpool may be the best example I can give of a fight that would never end.
I'm not sure how much I like everyone dying. I mean Kyrie and Lucia can push up as many daisies as they want to, but the rest had better stay.
Wow that sounds really bad seeing as how that was half of the females in the game.
I think the ending would be better with all the heroes together and Dante getting closure, finally accepting his demon-half. Maybe after fighting Vergil one last time in hell.

I think Vergil accepted his weakness after losing to Dante, and would join a three-way co op with Dante and Nero. Except, Nero wouldn't be able to use DT without Yamato, and I doubt Vergil will accept giving it up to Nero (who may or may not be his son. Remember: half-demons age differently then humans. No one knows Vergil's or Dante's true age.)

I heard somewhere that Dante was supposed to be eighty or something as of DMC 4. I'm sure Vergil had plenty of time to have a kid and send him off to an orphanage before his big plans.

Maybe an illegitimate child? Had sex with one of the random people in that town before leaving? I doubt he would have cared enough to drop his kid off at the door of a church of Sparda. Vergil so doesn't seem the type. To be honest, he seems too into his rivalry with Dante and his hatred of his father to even have sex, y'know?

I looked it up. One of the creators is quoted as saying Dante was 19 in DMC 3 and 28 in DMC (29 in DMC 4 (that guy that told me otherwise was way off)).
Maybe Nero is the reincarnation of Sparda or something. He may have been born the exact moment Sparda died or something and thus blah blah blah. I don't know. Speaking of people dying, in the same quote, its stated that Dante was eight when his mo died.

 

[JWAN]

What a pissed-off DMC may look like

HAHAHAAHAHAHA

Jesus thats EXACTLY what I thought of.
--
anyway, its not the first reworked game and Im sure if they make the story count and the game fluid it will do fine. I remember when they reworked sonic in the mid 90's, everyone FLIPPED but he had a few good years.

Hmmm... I swear I saw one of the creators being quoted as saying that Nero was Vergil's son... I may have seen something differently. I don't know, Nero is the most mysterious character out of the entire series, mostly because they gave him no friggin' background and made his arm and his past an entire secret. Especially the part where he tells Kyrie to run, except the fact being that THAT was the day he got his arm changed. I doubt it was the day his hair changed to white and he gained new blood too...

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

I said this before and i will be saying this again. That guy is NOT Dante and everything else is NOT what DMC is all about. This is not Devil May Cry.

According to the DMC wiki, Nero was hinted at being Vergil's son in the DMC 4 novel and confirmed by a Capcom employee at an event in 2009. So yes, he's Vergil's kid.

EDIT: That explains his blue Devil Trigger and whatnot.

 

[Hiphophippo]

There are two things I really like about it.

1-Online rage over it
2-The terrible dissonance over his raspy, run of the mill anti hero voice and his appearance.

Whooo. And wait... DMC4 novel? Crap... I need to get that one... But now we come to the question... Vergil must've been... 10 when he had Nero... which makes no sense. Soooo... I think they screwed up their own story again.

Just like they said Vergil AND Dante's mother were killed by demons, yet Vergil was never killed.

Speaking of, I would like to know what happened between Vergil and Dante in the first place, to make Vergil go off on his own, and when, and what his true intents were. I know most were mentioned as him just wanting more power, but there could be more, since he was partly human, no matter how much he despised it.

EDIT: And yeah, I made that reference to many forums about this: His blood, the only one other than Dante to be able to wield and control/fix Yamato, the Devil Trigger, the name Nero (Nero Angelo). And funny because everything in DMC4 ended with Angelo. Well... the bosses did. Credo was considered Credo Angelo after transforming, I think, same with Sanctus.

 

[Lunar Templar]

i'm not thrilled about this 'new' version of Dante, but i can over look that, once its in front of me and i'm beating ass, so long as they don't fuck up the combat like they did the character design (the robot/alien/demon things look neat though)

Actually... Sanctus became Sanctus Diabolica.
As far as Vergil's quest for power goes, I think it was something about blaming his mother's death on her weakness. Her weakness being her humanity. Thus he seeks to become stronger to the point where he would deny his own humanity.
Dante on the other hand blamed the demons that attacked her. He then goes out of his way to kill as many demons as he can. Going as far as trying to deny his own demonic heritage.
It makes for a great yin-yang kinda thing.

 

[Moromillas]

I really don't get the complaining about Dante at all. Surely it must be some elaborate prank or something.

Fans don't like this protagonist, because his hair isn't white? Is it possible, that his hair was not always white... You're getting to find out more about Dante, what the hell is wrong with that. More character depth, more lore, more history... If Dante grew so old that his hair started to fall out, would you really say "Damn, well it just isn't Dante anymore"? what?

 

[Jkudo]

OH my god is like they make a metal gear and then forced you to play whit a anorexic-emo-kid instead of sna.... oh.. wait THEY ALREADY HAVE!! and everyone knows how that turned out, sure is theyr game, theyr rebootin spin-offing or whatever but that "dante" is hideous and this is coming from someone who actually half-liked Nero in DMC4 and i also like Heavenly Sword so i dont hate Ninja Theory all that much (technically speaking Heavenly Sword was quite remarkable, they must have done something right that they got not one but two big companies backing out theyr new projects and one of them givin them one of theyr biggest franchises to play with)

OMG ANOTHER PSYCHIC. Not only do you know what the new dmc will be like, but you already know how mgs rising turned out lol. After falling in love with mgs4, rising disappointed me at first, even though it looked cool it didn't seem mgs, but i withheld judgement after one trailer. Now i'm looking forward to rising.

1. Its a reboot. Not a prequel
2. Its established that Dante's hair was always white.
3. Its not just the hair. Its like having a Mega Man game, but instead of playing as Mega Man you are a computer program commanded by a small child on the internet... wait a minute... Capcom!!!

 

[Josh Kurber]

Besides, I wanted to see a DMC 5 that either takes places after 2 or 4. Seriously. Either clip off that cliffhanger or continue on with the bit where Dante, Trish and Lady blast throught the door ready to kick ass.

I am with you on that one. I've been wondering who the hell was riding the motorcycle in DMC2. It COULD have been Dante, since the games were pretty corny... but then again, it was said the portal closed and he couldn't get out, ever. I mean, Vergil only got out with the help of Mundus.

I see an easy way to fix that too. Something really bad happens. Trish contacts Nero to help get Dante and save the world. You spend the first four or five missions as Nero going to X place to use Yamato to open a gate to hell. During this time you get all the little tutorial stuff out of the way and maybe learn something about his past. Then, for the next five to ten missions, you are Dante in hell. You have to make your way to the gateway Nero opened. Then, the last five to ten mission could be Dante beating the hell out of whatever big bad happens to be threatening the world.
I spent no more than five minutes coming up with this, and honestly I like it.

You know, I do too. But I more expected for the ending of Devil May Cry series to be epic. Main characters dying off in a big war against some of the biggest baddies Dante has fought, like Mundus returning, along with Mundus' father, since Mundus was known as the PRINCE of Darkness, or so I heard in the first game. And all of the Demons pissed off at Sparda return at once to wreak havoc. I expect Nero to have been sneak attacked, thinking he and Kyrie finally found peace, and then Lady would be overwhelmed and killed, of course. Lucia and Trish would die off in some other ways, maybe being taken prisoner, and Dante actually gets HURT for once, instead of God moding everything. I mean, how many times has he been stabbed in the chest? -.-

EDIT: And in the end he gives his life to seal the Demons away once more, just like his father had done, except the seal is more powerful, since he has surpassed his father.

Well... Dante has stupid fast healing powers. The fight between him and Deadpool may be the best example I can give of a fight that would never end.
I'm not sure how much I like everyone dying. I mean Kyrie and Lucia can push up as many daisies as they want to, but the rest had better stay.
Wow that sounds really bad seeing as how that was half of the females in the game.
I think the ending would be better with all the heroes together and Dante getting closure, finally accepting his demon-half. Maybe after fighting Vergil one last time in hell.

I think Vergil accepted his weakness after losing to Dante, and would join a three-way co op with Dante and Nero. Except, Nero wouldn't be able to use DT without Yamato, and I doubt Vergil will accept giving it up to Nero (who may or may not be his son. Remember: half-demons age differently then humans. No one knows Vergil's or Dante's true age.)

I heard somewhere that Dante was supposed to be eighty or something as of DMC 4. I'm sure Vergil had plenty of time to have a kid and send him off to an orphanage before his big plans.

Maybe an illegitimate child? Had sex with one of the random people in that town before leaving? I doubt he would have cared enough to drop his kid off at the door of a church of Sparda. Vergil so doesn't seem the type. To be honest, he seems too into his rivalry with Dante and his hatred of his father to even have sex, y'know?

I looked it up. One of the creators is quoted as saying Dante was 19 in DMC 3 and 28 in DMC (29 in DMC 4 (that guy that told me otherwise was way off)).
Maybe Nero is the reincarnation of Sparda or something. He may have been born the exact moment Sparda died or something and thus blah blah blah. I don't know. Speaking of people dying, in the same quote, its stated that Dante was eight when his mo died.

Hmmm... I swear I saw one of the creators being quoted as saying that Nero was Vergil's son... I may have seen something differently. I don't know, Nero is the most mysterious character out of the entire series, mostly because they gave him no friggin' background and made his arm and his past an entire secret. Especially the part where he tells Kyrie to run, except the fact being that THAT was the day he got his arm changed. I doubt it was the day his hair changed to white and he gained new blood too...

According to the DMC wiki, Nero was hinted at being Vergil's son in the DMC 4 novel and confirmed by a Capcom employee at an event in 2009. So yes, he's Vergil's kid.

Whooo. And wait... DMC4 novel? Crap... I need to get that one... But now we come to the question... Vergil must've been... 10 when he had Nero... which makes no sense. Soooo... I think they screwed up their own story again.

Just like they said Vergil AND Dante's mother were killed by demons, yet Vergil was never killed.

Speaking of, I would like to know what happened between Vergil and Dante in the first place, to make Vergil go off on his own, and when, and what his true intents were. I know most were mentioned as him just wanting more power, but there could be more, since he was partly human, no matter how much he despised it.

EDIT: And yeah, I made that reference to many forums about this: His blood, the only one other than Dante to be able to wield and control/fix Yamato, the Devil Trigger, the name Nero (Nero Angelo). And funny because everything in DMC4 ended with Angelo. Well... the bosses did. Credo was considered Credo Angelo after transforming, I think, same with Sanctus.

Actually... Sanctus became Sanctus Diabolus.
As far as Vergil's quest for power goes, I think it was something about blaming his mother's death on her weakness. Her weakness being her humanity. Thus he seeks to become stronger to the point where he would deny his own humanity.
Dante on the other hand blamed the demons that attacked her. He then goes out of his way to kill as many demons as he can. Going as far as trying to deny his own demonic heritage.
It makes for a great yin-yang kinda thing.

It does, but even Vergil wouldn't kill Dante, and not just because Dante was the superior. He did still have a human side, and I think, just as Dante felt love for his more-demon brother (sort of), Vergil must have felt a little love for his more-human brother, since they WERE still related. Vergil wasn't completely heartless.

And when I say "more-Demon/more-Human" I mean the blood they choose to accept most, ya know? I mean, he clung to his mother's amulet tightly, showing he at least held something from his mother close to his heart. I doubt it was just because of his want of Sparda's sword.

Though this may all be because I'm a big "Good side in all" kind of person, albeit quite pessimistic.

I would love to have more BOOKS that give detailed backgrounds to both Vergil and Nero, but I wouldn't want them to have their own crappy spin-off games. Those never work. Look at Shadow the Hedgehog's game... I loved him in Sonic Adventure 2, but hated his game.

What makes a person emo? You can tell he's emo by the way he said "Dante"? I say withhold judgement. I can understand some anger, but really i think its because fans got use to dante, his character design is nothing special. Also if he looks scrawny it's probably because he is probably only 18 and if that is the same dante then it's probably about him becoming the person from the other games, or if its a complete reboot why the anger? Because they decided to do a game different? wait...and play....or ignore it.

fair point, though I suppose the Metroid fans could tell sympathize with us a bit here
