I am ecstatic for the new DMC. The only games that really made sense @ all were DMC 3-1 before the storyline within other canons conflicted with each other and the whole she-bang.
This game could be the restart of the series in it's own little world. 'Old' Dante was beginning to feel too invincable, this one feels more human...the human he vowed to be without using any demonic powers since he hates demons. It's evident he doesn't have any healing powers right now, but he still has superhuman ablilities. I can't wait for more details to be released.
BTW, I'm also thinking they made Dante younger to try and capture a more younger and vigorous audiance. I'm sure the company thought fans could relate to the bad-boy better if it's aimed for older teens/young adults. I see no wrong in this...a lot of people hate how they changed Dante but I believe this is an over-looked fact.
