It's the same game just a different character model. I'm sure everyone will adjust and accept the new Dante out of necessity.

It doesn't really bother me that Capcom is making excuses for upsetting their fanbase. What bothers me is that they redesigned a very original, badass character into a boring, cliche, 'everyone does it' whino.
Take old Dante and you can't really compare him to other well-known characters.
Take new Neo, er, Dante and you can compare him to every other well-known character out there.

If only they would have made him fat with greasy hair and pimples then people could welcome a truly original design, but then it would have been far too liked.
I love this whole scene they have created and if their marketing idea is factual they won. Either way I found DMC to be far too pristine and Gackt-tastic for my taste and like the direct they are moving in.
I actually like the design. I actually want to play the game now. I would rather be a filthy, lame, emo kid than a saucy pretty boy because I like the dichotomy between someone who seems downtrodden kicking ass. The old Dante fit the showing "I'm so bad-ass" role too well and it was stagnant.
TL;DR version:
I like this new Dante because he isn't a fat nerd[sic: something actually original] or a showy white haired cock-tease.

Well then this obviously comes down simply to my own personal opinion of the guy and that I disagree with the majority of the fanj base for Dante.GamesB2 said:

Yeah I'm all one for opinion. I just wanted to correct you on the similarities between DMC and DMC3.etherlance said:
You're fully entitled to like DMC2 ^_^ Though the only good bit for me was using cheat codes to turn Lucia into Trish.
To tell the truth I only really liked that DMC because I think Dante's Devil trigger and Devil form were the best looking in that game.GamesB2 said:
I don't remember all of the devil trigger forms but I know I fairly disliked DMC2s...etherlance said:
I'm not sure of a favourite.
As much as I dislike Nero as a character I have to admit his Devil Trigger was badass...etherlance said:
Vergils soul indeed.

Genius. Good going, Capcom. You basically just convinced me, what with your wonderful consideration towards the DMC fans who dislike this change, not to buy your merry little prequel. But hey... look at it this way; you DID get me to come on here and talk about the game, so I guess you... win?
I don't think they are outright lying, I believe they wanted to generate "buzz." I do not believe, however, that they intended to open a portal to hell and unleash the vitriolic hate of a thousand tortured souls, much less commit the even greater offense of pissing off the fans.
Alienating your fanbase by fundamentally changing everything they like? Not a bright idea, Capcom.
