Dante looks less and less like a demon every day. Shouldn't he have horns by now? Why does anybody even care about the DMC series anyway? Bayonetta kicked it into gaming oblivion by just being released.
Someone from Capcom just posted on their forums that his appearance has something to do with the story.
Erm, how? Is his hair gonna bleach itself magically as we play the game? I have a feeling that it's something as "complex" as him deciding to change his life just because he was in that asylum; which makes me want to facepalm. I so wish this turns out to be just a crackhead and not Dante.

Thoughts go as follows.
The character design is fine in and of itself, but a chainsmoking black-haired delinquent really doesn't feel like Dante at all. It would almost be better to have this kid be a completely different character. There have to be more then a handful people in that world of theirs that spend their time beating the crap out of unholy abominations, so a troubled kid walking around claiming to be the fabled son of sparda isn't a stretch at all, really.
The action looks fine for the time being. The game has a more gritty look to it but it doesn't seem to have lost the over-the-top charm we know and love. So all told, I'm cautiously optimistic here.

I guess even Devil May Cry when. . .
Seriously, this is so unneeded. Did anyone else get extremely irritated when the characters mentioned the name of the freaking game 12 times in every cut scene?

this isn't devil may cry, it has nothing in common with DMC. if i had watched the trailer without sound i would have had no reason to think it was a DMC game. if this ends up being a god of war clone I'm going to be so pissed. the DMC games have always been one of my favorite series, i even like DMC 2 for fucks sake!
goddamnit, change his hair back to silver and i'll give it a chance, it was the only thing about his appearance that gave you an inkling that he wasn't all human.

I feel your pain mate, but sometimes we have to learn move on (melodramatic, I know), I don't know if you liked DMC4 (I liked it) but I think we can all admit the formula was starting to get pretty old, not only gameplay but story-wise.Kungfu_Teddybear said:
And for those who's only real complaint the color of his hair, check the trailer again... see that reflection on the top of his head? What if it's not a reflection, but maybe growing white hair?
At first I thought it was just a reflection (and maybe it is) but notice how this reflection stays in the same spot of his head in every scene, even when there's not supposed to be there...
They obviously know the key elements of his appearance: red coat(more like red jacket in this case), guns, and ancient demonic superpowers. Why wouldn't they remember the hair? I'm just throwing this out there but it seems to me that they're trying to tease us with it as a publicity stunt.
It certainly took a big chunk of my time today, discussing about it. xD
aside from the terrible new dante character design, this looks like it could work.
the combat is certainly varied and over the top, like one would expect from the series. at one point he was punching things, then he had a sword, then it turned into the whipfist from prototype and picked up a car..... yeah, pretty crazy stuff. guess well just have to wait.

I have to get my word in here!!
Something tells me that; that is not Dante... As in to say it's not really Dante but, some overpowered nutjob who thinks himself some sorta badass GOD (as is the Dante we knew).
But maybe the whole reboot thing debunks my lil' ol' theory ):
still looking forward to this... Not excited. but little excites me when it comes to something as un-informative as teasers are~

I'm guessing it's a younger Dante. He doesn't want people to know he's Sparda's son so he dyed his hair white. Trying to "fit in" I guess. Dante can always give up smoking too.
If this game is done right and shows Dante's rise from scrawny little ***** to the king of badassery he is in DMC3 then I'm completely on board. By the end of the game he should have his coat, have Rebellion and be sporting his white hair. Only then will I even remotely call this a great character choice for Dante.

To be fair though, they did change it back to the bald guy, from what ive seen (Not a ps3 gamer, so dont keep up on it)Jack and Calumon said:
OT: No, no no, no no no no no, this shit will not fly. If thats Dante (THe video on Kotaku wasent working) then im done, from what i could see from the screen shots, some random dude just came in, stole bits from Dante and Nero's cloths, and bolted out of the office, and if thats the plot for 5 im going to shoot someone.
See what we just did there? We made a good DMC game (in concept) without taking artistic or stylistic liberties with the material. Why was that so hard for them to do?Eduku said:
I'm expecting an inFAMOUS style flip flop, because no one will like this.
