DMC 5 + Dante's new look

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

Unless this is tied to the Dante from the past DMC tiles, storyline wise its gonna throw of ppl off. If this is Dante in his younger years then maybe we can get some deeper history on him or if this is his son and he came out to be emo and got caught but some Area 51 people somehow.

AAHHH yeah hmm maybe this could like a Dante jr. hmmm dante and trish type thang went down and pops out a kid. i should have thought of that concept. good one.

and if you read the comics rather than just going by whats seen in the previous games, many of you would have a slightly different view on this.

Don't they have a darker tone to them? I only saw a view page's of the 1st DMC3 one.

this would be an extremely happy news to me if the title was "new action game from the creators of heavenly sword", hs is one of the best games ive enjoyed and this trailer shows some great designed enemies, some good animation and a story that may open more posibilites than the half-demon premise. BUT GOD DAMMIT WHY DEVIL MAY CRY AND WHY DANTE... some random hero and some random name and im sold... they better make a damn good game now.

[The Question]

His hair is whitening, is this supposed to be a prequel?

No its supposed to be fap material for ugly tween girls. real talk

*Watches Trailer*
Hmm, who's the new guy? He looks......whatever its DMC!!!
*keeps watching*
Neat, kinda reminds me of Heavenly Swords' gameplay and the setting is futuristic.....but its DMC!!!
*New guy calls himself Dante, and trailer ends*
But Dante has white hair and is laid back, and not em-ITS DMC?!?!

This thread, you all made this worst than it is.
This is teenage dante, perhaps before he became the dante we all know and love and again, if you read any of the actual dmc comics, dante did not start out with having white hair nor was the cocky person we are used to.

This game is supposed to lead up to the current dante(s) we know.

Give it a chance, damn y'all are nothing but freakin' headaches.
And I thought the MK vs DC debut was bad........

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

i agree fully

you got a lil point there about if this was a new game coming out and not being dante and dmc, but wait a sec... you do know what will happen anyway if it wasnt dmc or dante? it would just get labled...another devil may cry clone! just like the now infamous games being called GOW clones! .  Tisk tisk tisk SMH.  Well i Like the new approach and i wanna see some more. dmc clone or whatever. It looks really cool in trailer so all i wanna see to confirm my buy is some gameplay. then i am sold!

I love how everyone assumes they are going to change this, expecting the same DMC games as before. Have you read any of thew news, check out who is actually working on this project xD
I've followed DMC from the start, liked all the games, even 4 despite making your fight the games few bosses over and over and over. But if you freak out at every change, then things get boring when they stay the same. The only complaint I have about the new look is that he looks incredibly Emo, the western look is fine but he looks like he was bashing his face against the wall from boredom.
That aside, I really like the look of the game mechanics.

the very little evidence we have so far from a couple of official comments, the design and the actual dialogue in that short trailer points to a series reboot more than a pre-prequel id say.

i have faith in ninja theory but cmon man you cant blame me for having a hard time getting over my extreme fanboyism for dante, well that and how much ive slowly come to despise the emo trend we are going trough.

dunno if you liked the comics plot, if this is indeed a pre-prequel i hope they turn their head towards the early mangas instead, black hair could als obe a way of getting away from the demihuman story to the biological experiment story (given the trailer dialogue and the japanese culture) but the fact that the red coat remains makes this assumption iffy as well. Or the hair is simply to make it clear that this is not dante the son of sparda and we are getting way to ahead of ourselves (my money is on this one).

and hey heres a bit of hope for us fanboys even if this game truly crashes to the ground (doubt it given the develper) a reboot is also a safe way to try something new on a series without compromising the original saga too much, if it sticks they keep at it, if not they just relase dmc5 with good ol dante and forget about dark-dante. Look at prince of persia, thats exactly what happened.

Thats the problem right there. Fanboys takes things way too seriously without any thought. Just open their mouths without thinking at all.

So they're doing a back story for him? Hmm... not a bad idea.

[Warcueid]

@Syn, I don't hate the new look, and I don't necessarily like it. It doesn't mean I'll hate the game. My post really was a reaction to a game that I was expecting something else from. I thought this would be DMC 5, instead I get a completely different Dante, and I don't even know if its a prequel or reboot. I honestly wouldn't mind if it was a prequel, but a reboot?Why?

After all that, my epectations now is that this game WILL be fun. Heavenly Sword imo, was one of the best games I've ever played. Great visual, amazing gameplay, a great story, and what really sealed it for me was: Finally seeing a game where not only the developers loved their product, but so did the voice actors. Holy crap were they more than awesome at it....but thats for another topic. (i'd like Heavenly Sword 2 please)

[DEMONKAI]

hell im still gonna buy it anyway but ill just have to deal with the visuals. im sure the gameplay and style just may get my mind off that. Pretty much like how i wasnt too into Nero but as time went on in the game and i got used his cool powers and snatching enemies out the sky n beatin em to death i totally forgot about Dante in some way. It ended up me liking Nero and me now acknowledging a new and cool character. hopefully as a fan boy (admittingly) This version of Dante has the same effect And me disliking it like DMC2

again great design but i just dont like that its supposed to be Dante

"will it be fun" is the more important thing in the end

enough dmc5 start browsing asuras wrath mister...

  im with u on that sh*t!

[Demon King EX]

yo dante may be stupid looking now but he has some sweet moves in the game hahaa

[ATiC3]

 

He sure has the right moves, but his look is so wrong!

[Rage]

it look good but......


but really im just waiting for the official word b4 i  pass judgment.

[Swiziga]

so he doesn't have rapid regeneration anymore? he's all bruised. im not excited about this reboot especially when it comes to the character design but like some people have said we just have to give it a chance and wait for release to really decide if it was a good idea or not since the trailer looked awesome aside from his new look. the problem i have is bringing all the new stuff to dmc jut to throw  it away. i mean they made dmc4 with nero who brought up so many questions with his unexplained connection to vergil's yamato, resemblance to dante/vergil, and the devil bringer. instead of answering the questions they just get rid of it to make a new franchise?

[vyn]

true, i didnt like neros persona too much (although his gameplay was damn fun, much more simple than dante too) but he actually had more potential story-wise than dante, hell nero would make a great of a villian if that girl of his got killed or something since he is so fragile and kept on the good side only by love, unlike dantes true sense of duty. But if this reboot is succesful we will probably never know and will have to settle for semi-cameo novels mangas or comics.

i hope the girls are kept as hot as in the previous games at least.

also just to clear things a bit here are two quotes

Keiji Inafune for: "DMC has very faithful fans yet its sales are not especially high, even less outside of japan so the fifth installment will more likely involve western touches to make it more appealing for american and european gamers"

Ninja Theory director: "DmC will be a reset, a reimagination of the saga"

This is being developed by Ninja theory, Capcom USA, and Hideaki Itsuno (director of dmc4) representing capcom japan. Its official name so far is DmC.

[ClubSyN-X-TReME]

i mean they made dmc4 with nero who brought up so many questions with his unexplained connection to vergil's yamato, resemblance to dante/vergil, and the devil bringer.

........

Still you people People really dont know anything but are quick to open your mouth and so quickly to pass judgement.......
Play the game and/or read the comics and you will find out that Nero is actually Virgil's son.

This is becoming extremely sad..

I don't bother with game based comics/ova's. Just like the Sonic games I only render the DMC games canon. This reboot completely misses the idea of Dante, so in other words... 

[O Ilusionista]

Man, Capcom is starting to be freak.

The new DMC is a Twilight version of DMC, hehehe.

Man, that Dante is so...emo.
