So I've checked a few threads. But I still feel like creating a thread of my own to express my frustration.
So they've started working on a reboot. Dante looks like an emo dikhead, smokes cigarettes, completely lacks taste in clothes, has a lasso-like excuse for a sword, and a memory of a tortured drug-addict.
Where's the demonic white hair? Where's the spanish slash arrogant slash cool attitude? Where's the PIZZA for god's sake?!
Now, first of all, Devil May Cry isn't mainly about Dante. DMC is a universe with it's own story, characters, environment, and most importantly, aura!
As I'll probably quote someone on this forum, "Dante is Dante". And, indeed, no matter how absurdly oldschool he may seem, he's still the arrogant arsehole from hell we all know and love.
Now, back in the old days (old days = dmc1-4), the compilation of the game's art style, heavenly/hellish soundtrack, magnificent world architecture, interrelated stories and characters was what let DMC become DMC.
The Devil May Cry title solely belongs to Sparda, Dante, Nero, Vergil, Trish, Lady, Bigass Sword, Yamato, and Pizza!
If you want to create a completely different game, then give it a different title. I really don't fancy halfassed marketing tricks of attracting attention to new products just by slapping them with popular trademarks.
And, even if it's too early to speculate or jump to conclusions, I'm still expressing my opinion that's solely formed by the teaser video itself.
So if there's really no reason for worry, given the chance that the game won't live up to its presentation, all I've left to say is: Either capcom seriously fked up with their announcement teaser video, or they simply fked up... entirely.
