Ninja Theory boss Tameem Antoniades has said that DmC Devil May Cry’s new look for Dante is “all about cool” and that the previous Dante design we’ve come to know and love just “isn’t cool anymore”.

Yes, because the new Dante is so much cooler >_>

I'm pretty sure that DMC4 Dante was among his cooler incarnations, and one of the cooler videogame protagonists in general.

THat's just me though. Maybe I'm wrong.

Only reason this new Dante is "cool" is because he is the director's [Top Spin] self-insert.

What a ponce.

This jerkass still looks more like that [dark hold] from Twilight, though.  Which is even more reason to hate it.

Let's boycott the hell out of this game and see what happens.

Commander Shepard: *stares blankly at a video of scantily clad asari dancers* ...What kind of hotel is this?
Liara T'Soni: It is a luxury resort with an... exotic edge.  Azure is slang for a part of the asari body in some places on Illium.
Shepard: Where?
Liara: The lower reaches, near the bottom.
Shepard: I meant, "where on the asari body?"
Liara: So did I.

The Dante That Almost Was

Quote
Perhaps surprisingly, it was a departure driven by the people at Capcom who birthed the Devil May Cry series.

Jones said when he was first approached by Capcom Japan, he was told that the U.S. offices of Capcom were being given stewardship of the series because the developers wanted a "western-oriented title."

A western-oriented title, eh? Gee, I wonder who would have pushed for that...

...Was that guy talking about DMC's Dante? Because if he tried to improve that one, he failed miserably...
And the makers greenlighted it? Really?

I don't see anything wrong about this new Dante. All I care is what's the new thing in gameplay and I hope that it will surpasses Bayonetta.



Come on, I can handle them both bishie hero and tough-guy space marine.

Eurogamer: Let's be absolutely clear – is this a different Dante, or the same one we know and love?

Alex Jones: We're not going to be definitive about a lot tonight, but one thing that we can be definitive about is that this is the same Dante - just younger. We're looking at a retelling of his origin story.

Eurogamer: You're sure you can't give us anything specific on the hair? It's a burning fan issue.

Tameem Antoniades: Well, if you look closely in the trailer, you can see he has a white patch.

From what I've read, it seems like we need to blame Capcom and their recent desire to completely [parasitic bomb] up everything. Ninja Theory is just the sacrificial lamb.

seeing as the other games they made were supposed to be action games with a crappy combo system i really doubt they can even barely make a DMC working combat system

Methinks that Inafking is doing this because of the zeitgeist. After all, Americans love things like God Of War-ish action games, Gears Of Wars/Halo-esque first-person shooters and MMOs these days, amirite? 8D

Of course, this isn't the first time that Capcom tries to appeal to Americans (*cough*Megaman1boxart*cough*). -_-

What.

I recall seeing a totally different interview - not so long ago - where some Capcom representative said that the new DmC is set in an alternate universe from the original DMC, a decision sparked by the massive "negative feedback" on the new DmC.

Edit: No luck finding the interview again; but the Devil May Cry wiki has the same claims.
http://devilmaycry.wikia.com/wiki/DmC

Quote
As initial fan reaction to the teaser has been quite negative, Capcom issued a statement clarifying that this game takes place in a different universe, as it is being developed by a different developer from previous titles of the franchise, and will not affect any story elements already established by the classic series.

"Western audiences" is the new cool 'demographic' to cater to now that "casuals" has lost its steam.
