TBH I'm not completely against a change in character design, but this current design looks lame. Since the DMC series has always been about style, lame character designs are not a good thing.

My money needs to take a break from you Capcom.

Wait...no one's going to complain that he looks emo or like Edward Cullen?

That's a good thing. You're all maturing.

by completely different You mean Gay?

the white hair and the arrogant attitude in the face of demons made me like dante. this new dante looks like a vampire, and vampires are lame. no one asked for dante to be remade. make dmc5 like dmc3se and rejuvenate the epic battle between virgil and dante.

...even if the Character wouldn't suck dig, this game will suck nonetheless, i can tell you that, cause of obvious reasons you should all know by now.

i like the new look ( i mean old look xD ) ... why u people saying he look like an emo ? .. it's just a hair !! and his face is the same !! u people making this like it's a big problem ... just don't act like that ! the game looks amazing ! i love it !! and just like what they said , this look was befor devil may cry 1 .... maybe i understand wrong xD , i dunno , but i like it :D .....

Repeating something over and over again doesn't make it true or anymore acceptable. They can keep on repeating this bull all they want, Donte sucks and they know it. Bring back Dante!

i dont hate the new dante you wanna know why??
THIS THING ISNT DANTE 1!!!1!!!

Thx for killing 1 of my fav. game franshise..

Once again, for the clueless non-fans.

It's not just the look of Dante that we take issue with. It is that a company, that has yet to prove themselves in the gameplay department is taking the helm. Shoddy framerate, auto-platforming, and shallow combat is unacceptable for a Devil May Cry title, and that is what we are all fearing with a Ninja Theory reboot.

I think Capcom knew without the original team of DMC they wouldn't be able to get the same feel or action so out of respect they took it a different direction.

Or maybe they just screwed the pooch and wanted to piss off DMC fans.

I personally wanted to see more Nero and Dante action. I loved DMC4.

im not happy,the gameplay will have to be amazing to buy me over!

"I will argue that any changes will bring about a knee-jerk reaction from fans," he said. "We know that; we knew that going into it. To be fair, I think some of the strategy here was to create that discussion and dialogue, and I think it drastically raises the visibility of the title versus if we had just done another Dante."

They basically did this for attention. The game is going to suck d++k so bad, they have so little faith in the IP or T that they only way they could get attention is to make this meth headed dips++t the hero of DmC. Amazing. Nathan Drake doesn't have to do that to sell a game, Marcus Fenix doesn't need to do that to sell a game, Bayonetta didn't need to do that to sell a game- so sad DmC.

Looks lame as hell.maybe I should stop posting because I no longer care about this game.

DMC is a game about its cool character... so they decided to change the character, because the series is still popular.

I don't understand. Dante better be pretty awesome in this "new" DMC, or all the fan rage is most certainly justified.

Keep his hair white, keep the same Voice actor, and then just build a better game around him. But a complete character change wasn't needed. I'll still give the game a chance because I'm a fan of the series, but I'm skeptical at this point.

Oh well, guess we'll have to look to Marvel Vs Capcom 3 for the true Dante.

I don't even care anymore. It's obvious Capcom doesn't care about their fans, and they're forgetting the reason why people bought their games in the first place. Trying so hard to appeal western demographics to the point where they're starting to lose sight of their identity.

That's not to say NT won't make a good game, but because they're using the Unreal engine it's most likely going to run at 30 fps. That's cool for a God of War game, but for an intense action game like DMC that's not going to cut it.

I'm not buying this game new whether it turns out to be good or not, because this series didn't need a reboot (it's only 9 years old). I rather purchase games made by Platinum Games, because they seem to be the only developers left making traditional Japanese games.

both dantes look gay but the old one is worse

Capcom says "Dante needed to be completely different." By what scale? By who's opinion? Did they do focus groups we are unaware of? Maybe a poll somewhere they can reference as to where this pressing need for a new Dante came from? Let's take a look at the definition of the word "need".

http://dictionary.reference...

A need is a requirement, necessary duty, or obligation. Well, there is no requirement anywhere that states Dante had to be changed. DMC 3 was an excellent game, and Crapcom decided to go with a NEW wannabe Dante character in DMC4. Likely due to the stigma of DMC 2. I would wager that this is what it's all about. Capcom lacks the literary skill to create a story to continue the DMC timeline passed DMC 2 because of how it ended, so they decided it'd be easier to start over.

How is it a necessary duty to change Dante? If the change didn't come about, who would suffer for not performing their "necessary duty"? Who would be the victim? None of the fans would be that's for sure. We had no problem with the original Dante character in any way, shape or form. So, who would be hurt by keeping old Dante?

To whom is there an obligation that necessitates changing Dante? As a company that develops and publishes games, Capcom's ONLY obligation is to the fans who pay their salaries by buying their products. We pay your bills, so we are who you are obliged to satisfy. Not yourselves, not your egos (I'm looking at you NT and specifically Tameem Antoniades), us.

So, I ask Capcom this question... From where did this "need" to change Dante arise? Because I don't think it's a stretch for me to say that, for us real fans, that is a load of horse manure.

Maybe Dante needs to be gey just so he can have a badass return to form.

Kinda like how the game went from the super lame DMC2 to the super badass DMC3

The only DMC I played was DMC4 and thought it was meh were the other actually that good to provoke the kind of loyalty from fans that I'm seeing. Because to me, the original Dante has a emo hair thing going on too, he just wasn't on heroin. Would appreciate discourse not blind disagrees.

Capcom: Don't you understand? We need to ruin our games for our fans so we can cater to an audience that doesn't care about them in the first place!

So by being different they mean make him look like some sort of cross between a punk and an emo? He had an over the top ultra cool look in the previous DMC games which worked well, why try to fix what isn't broken?

We know this story about dante history
but why u make him an emo project ?

there no sense black to white hair

so I expect an redicolous story that in the end he become who we knew

how and why? just watch cutscenes in youtube

devil may cry from 4 it not about dante about capcom genuis brains!!!!!

and they want sells without listen to fans loooooool

there nothing good on capcom expect old games become now something else'

like resident evil it was horror and action now treasure and action

megaman x we missed him

devil may cry Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

They fucked him up, they know it. Their arrogance isn't letting them see that.

Although, after this Devil May Cry, it's most likely the Original Dante will return, NTs games have always been alright, never been special. So it's most likely the same would be with this DMC. and hopefully Capcom brings back his original look afterwards.

Will fail it doesn't raise the bar like Bayonetta did. Given Dante a new image wont save the game.

I'm afraid Capcom may end up like Akklaim (if you guys can remember them). I'm not quite sure the direction they're going with the titles but ti's not good. I use the love this company but they completely drop the ball this generation.

Wow, we've been waiting all this time for Capcom's response to the public outcry, and THIS IS IT?? It couldn't have been worse: "Dante needed to be completely different"... ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??

Capcom are idiots. They've gone way downhill this gen and they don't seem to understand why? They need to do some serious introspection... And some serious restructuring, because some people making decisions have made ALL THE WRONG ONES. Seriously, to take one of the best developers and turn it into one of the worst, in a single generation, is beyond idiotic.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooo another dante news , please tell me this is a nightmare , pleaseeeeeeee!!!! ARRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG

i know that this game will be better than dmc2

as a loyal devil may cry fan and a dante fan, why whould they just reboot a series that doesn't need it all they had to do is make DMc5 add virgil and some new gameplay elements and boom capcom would have made hundreds of millions but instead the re-design Dante and make him look like a brit pansy junkie that thinks hes cool because he smokes
the only game i look forward from capcom is MVc3

fuck you ninja theory and capcom, this game is for us , not for you...fuck dont mess with series anymore, my english but i dont care

Looks like the Devil will Cry after all. I don't understand the need to remake the main character in a series that was largely respected for its main character.

No one ever talked up DMC by saying "Lucia sure was badass in DMC2", or "I loved fighting that lava spider boss over and over and over... wow DMC was awesome for that reason". Also, no one ever said "DMC sucks, because Dante was really uncool, and they should make him emo instead to make him cooler".

Because all of the fans have been complaining about his old look, right Capcom? /s

He needed to be different, not look like a douche.

Lol nice...
