DMC

Soooo
New Devil May Cry.
Everyone's hating on Dante's new looks, but I don't care, he looks pretty cool.
Gameplay looks awesome.

Personally I kinda loathe it.

It's pretty much the complete anti-thesis to the original DMC.

"Oh, let's screw over Dante's personality and completely WRECK the gameplay of the games all so Tameem can have his spiritual successor to Heavenly Sword!"

I hate Ninja Theory so much.

Even though I never played the DMC series I didn't like how Dante looked when they first showed him. The new trailer makes things seem better though.

Well from the trailers he seems to have the same personality, he just got an extreme makeover.
'Sides, Dante has been in 4 games + both MvC3's. It's probably time to retire.

Not really a good reason to change him.

And no, he doesn't have the same personality. Biggest example I can remember is when in one trailer, an enemy is pretty much dead and is crawling away and new Dante walks up to it and slaughters it, laughing to himself or some crap.

Old Dante couldn't care less. He was all about being an aloof a****** and stylin' on people. New Dante is a sadistic "oh im so dark and edgy" character.

He has teenage angst. I wouldn't call it THAT odd for him to be sadistic.

I've been thinking of getting into Devil May Cry, and while I could easily get the HD Collection, this game doesn't look so bad. The combat style also looks a bit fun.

Never mind, Dante's new looks is also amazing , i just like it....

Which is a stupid character trait.

But ignoring all of my character gripes, the gameplay is crap too.

Only 4 enemies on screen at once and it runs at 30fps.

DMC 4 ran at 60.

While I think they shouldn't have named him Dante and made him a new character, Capcom isn't gonna listen. They're master trolls.

I think this is the Dante we all know and love, and the makeover is to show what he was like before. Hes still got the same personality, but hes a little crazier. I remember in one of the gameplay trailers, he pulled the Devil Trigger and his hair turned white. So this is our Dante, but before his demon blood really began to manifest itself and give him the physical appearance of a demon and this game covers that part of his life.

At least that's what I think.

Do you REALLY think the final product will be like that?

Depending on how the game is, it isn't bad for him to be Dante. This is his past and what he was like before he became a badass. Cause remember people don't start out as a badasses.

And you are 100% correct. This is a much younger Dante so this one and the one people love shouldn't be the same.

It's already been confirmed to be like that, actually.

Ninja Theory just wants to make a spiritual successor to Heavenly Sword or whatever. That's what this is like. Not DMC.

It's already confirmed to be non-canon (thank god) because they re-wrote so many things. Even if this was Dante when he was younger, they retconned so many things it makes no sense.

Ok, this I didn't know.

So yea, the game is more or less pointless then isn't it?

Yup.

It's a watered down DMC that's more like God of War/Heavenly Sword in playstyle and looks nice.

Dunno why we received a reboot and not DMC 5.

Well, if this really isn't canon then this isn't a reboot. Just a game using the DMC name.

Well, if it sells well enough, Capcom's gonna continue the series under this title as opposed to the originals.

So it can reboot the series if enough people purchase it.

Where it's standing right now though, it's more of a spin-off.

Ok, but it still wouldn't reboot the series. Assuming they continue the young Dante story it would all fall in line with the canon of the first 4 games.
