You know, I'm gonna act mature and give this a chance. Unless Capcom decides to totally forgo the original storyline (which I doubt since they said years ago they wouldn't even cut 2 off the timeline) then we may be in trouble if this new Dante does suck.

I'm with you. I'm so not digging this D***te's(until I play the game and know for sure what's going on for sure I refuse to call this guy by that name) but I'm gonna act mature and give this a chance too.

Same here, I hate the new look of Dante more then anything, with the Black hair and gothic look, But im willing to Try the game out once it comes to US. just hope its not a bad Game with bad Controls

I also agree. I loath this new look for Dante, but the gameplay of the game itself did look like the DMC we know and love. We can only hope that the character will as well by the end...

Actually in a 1up article Ninja Theory showed a shocking amount of arrogance, dismissing the other games as "uncool" and the Head Dev-look alike matter being incidental. Sure it is... and I have bridge in Brooklyn for sale.

Sure, a bunch of DMC's content was impractical (we can disagree about a lot of things), but hell, they were MADE to be cool. That's how the Head-Dev of DMC does his job and get his money's worth. But to make this game out of arrogance is just bullshit.

I just read the article... would rage again, thank you. It looks like the "real" Dante hunting down the "fake" Dante theory isn't gonna turn out to be true... oh well. This might be the end of the old Dante we know and love, but I'd still like to see how the new game will turn out. Granted, I thought Heavenly Sword was ****, so my hopes aren't too high to begin with.

LOL! Depends, are you a gameplay fan or just a story/character/mythos etc fan...there's a difference..
What I've seen from this fallout is that some DMC fans are fans for JUST for the gameplay, others are fans in DMC because they genuinely really LOVE the story, characters, gameplay and the mythos.
All the people who are violently upset at the changes are usually the ones that are invested in the story, characters, gameplay, mythos of DMC and would like to see more to expound on that already established and UNTAPPED world. Then there's the fans that just love the gameplay, those folks aren't very affected by the jarring change because as long as the gameplay is improved/solid, they could put a monkey as Dante and would be just fine.
Then there's the fans that own only 360s, have only played DMC4 and have absolutely NO problem with DmC..
As long as it's not rammed into the continuity like a sideway dildo, I don't care if the game rocks or blows. I'll admit the new looks is pretty weird, though it's not completely terrible (hair color and style does have a rather amazing way of making one's appearance change in surprising ways). But as I said, long as Capcom doesn't totally ditch the original storyline (and I swear they said they wouldn't after the disaster that was 2) maybe we'll see Dante's true return soon.
I thought Capcom already stated this is not in the continuity and is taking place in an alternate universe? Well, either way. FUCK THE UNION JACK!! Does Dante sound British? I think not you arrogant bastards with sideways logs jammed up your damn holes. Ugh!! I wish Capcom had hung on to DMC5 and made it themselves instead of passing it off to fucking Ninja Theory and their faggotry. They literally took a dump and named it "Dante" to make money. Fuck the corporates!
This "new" dante well never fly. never. as one of the most popular characters in recent times, people won't allow it. With multiple games, an anime and soon to be appearing in marvel vs capcom 3, the "original" dante just won't go away. there is a reason why this shit is called DMC, just in case they want to fall back and make a true devil may cry 5. that or we were all royally trolled and this new guy isn't really dante.

I got my fingers crossed on that. I'm also hoping that bad feeling I got doesn't come true. In which if this really is the "before" of the series and Dante looks like that... well... Vergil... his twin... oh god I don't want to think about that...!

I think Capcom's consider that plan now, seeing how bad the reaction was. They went and basically put it in its own universe, something they weren't willing to do with previous black sheep DMC2 (which now looks MUCH Better in comparison to this) I think they might have to go kissing Platium (company with the original DMC creators) games' behind for DMC5.
Also DMC generally did quite well in the west, the only hicups being A) DMC2 and B) The rush job that was DMC4, but even those sold pretty well here.
I see nothing emo about this hero. He wears a coat like dante. Has a cool badass attitude like dante. And pretty much acts like dante. BUT because he has a diffrent hair color and style this must be the polar opposite of dante?

This. You can't just take a character established through mutliple franchises, fundamentally change him and then expect to get away with it without the fanbase acting up. It's like putting Spiderman in green tights, or having Batman use machine guns, rocket launchers and mustard gas. Shit like that doesn't fly, people will always protest.

Um, Bats did use guns back in the early days. But your point is still valid, it's just bizarre that they're trying to change an established character when it hasn't even been 10 years yet. Also, the lead guy who said the original Dante would be laughed at is an idiot. Seriously? The original Dante only skirted on the bishounen line, he was still cool and handsome looking, like D. And well, both of them could kick this new guy's ass from two ways to sunday.

Hold on, Capcom flat out told Ninja Theory to redesign Dante that would make the DMC fans angry. Ninja Theory even presented their concept art of Dante sort of looking like the old Dante but Capcom rejected it.
