After reading Vezilds thread, I remembered that Ninja Theory were trying to update this with more modern movies, and stuff, and really I don't know what to say besides screw that.

First of all, let me point out something, the only modern media I like is Friendship is Magic (one of the best shows ever) and maybe some Godzilla movies, other than that ninety percent of it sucks. Really in modern day media, they avoid fights and explain the antagonist origins, by having the protagonist run away, and that is what I have seen Dante do so far in the new trailers, he appears to be running away from the demons, and don't give me that, "they're trying to take him to limbo" crap, I mean its just limbo, man up, I'm going to be sent to Circle 7 (Violence, the damn robo-monkeys didn't see what hit em.) and I cannot wait, and when I say this is pretty much the problem with 2000s movies I mean it
Look at AVP:R (the highly dissapointing sequel to Alien Vs Predator)

in AVP:R, 90% of the movie is the humans running away from the Aliens and the Predator like a pack of whimps , and they waste 90% of the ammo trying to take down the predator (none of which effected him because he is a badass)

In the original Predator, we saw explosions, gunfire, and soldiers dying, before the Predator even showed up, in fact it was the same with Predator 2, both movies had firefights take place which attracted the Predator in. Back to Predator 1, it was mere minutes after the Predator appeared that Dutch (Arnold Swcharzennegger) was like " F*ck it, we saw it bleed, I'm sick of running, lets kill this bastard"

and a good bit of modern day movies are just TERRIBLE remakes of classic movies, like the upcoming Robocop remake (A movie that did not need to be remade, and the original will be better both story wise and it was more violent)

In fact the only modern day actor I enjoy is Ryan Reynolds, and that is because he is going to play Deadpool in the upcoming Deadpool movie, which he requested stay true to the comics.

Plus modern day also tries to implement factors into action movies , that shouldn't be in action movies, like implementing drama. I Don't wanna see Stallone tell his wife goodbye in Rambo, I like to see him do that in Rocky, but I watch Rambo to see him blow crap up.

The more you know : Modern day gave us Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber, the 80s gave us Guns N Roses and AC/DC

So I feel all and all, why would we need an update? It seems to me like its a blessing to love the original more
 
Well you could make the argument that DMC doesn't have to be updated as it doesnt take place in any specific time period.
DMC3 could be any particular time period today while what ever comes after is in its own alternate universe where demons are the norm.

I read your thing twice and i have no idea how your tangents relate to another. So please rewrite or restructure, making an outline would help.

Back in the good ol' 90s we had awesome movies like Batman and Robin, and now we have crap like The Dark Knight.

Sorry, but sometimes sarcasm puts things in perspective. Nothing personal, but I don't really see the point of that poll...

Simple, I'm just pointing out that modern media sucks. I am just listing facts

Back in the good ol nineties we had movies and cartoons like the original Ninja Turtles, and now we have a million Sh*tty out of character remakes. Back in the 80's we had Aliens, now we have Avatar, Back in the 90' and 80's we had Rocky, now we have a crappy remake of Karate Kid.
and now to finish you off

Do I have to remind you that in the 2010 trailer he stuck a lit cigarette in a demon's eye?
He also threw a car, A CAR, at a whole group of demons. And he's a coward?

Modern times also gave us The Dark Knight, The Joker didn't have a back story in that did he? He was just insane.

Music wise, I admit this generation is ****. It seems only good music in today's times has to be found in obscure places.

But this generation has nothing to do with DmC. The only thing being updated is style, which is now Punk-Rock. Gameplay wise, DmC will be identical to previous titles (with additions like the Stinger move and others). Ninja Theory just wants to show that there is a other perception of "cool" then our own.
 
Okay that Morgan Freeman post was funny :]

Also, I thought you were comparing Alien to Avatar: The Last Airbender.

But I still don't get it. Isn't all this a matter of opinion? Because comparing your least favorite aspect of now to your favorite aspect of yesteryear is a symptom of Golden Age Thinking...

They say here they are taking elements from modern movies, which will probably include that "Running away to find out about everything , end with big boom." aspect, only probably it won't end with a nuke like it usually does,
 
So you just flail on the basis of asumptions? How does that even contribute to your own thread?
No but if they are taking trends from modern day movies, that is one of the most common ones, and really there is high chance that the game takes place trying to escape the demons instead of fighting back for good examples

1. Dante being hunted throughout the majority of the game.
2. We even got a trailer called "The Escape" and at the beginning of "The Fight" he appeared to be trying to leave the city before the camera spotted him. This was the exact same goal in AVP:R, try to escape the city before something bad happens.
 
As i said before,one of the reasons why this game is happening is because of inafune saying about the movie crap whether DMC would work as a movie.It wouldn't work as a live-action but i'm sure it would work for a CGI film.

Not exactly- he was just walking down the street when the camera spotted him.
Plus he wasnt trying to leave the city when the escape happens. He was trying to avoid being crushed by a wall or something.

Plus are you advocating they send a 8 year old version of Dante who has no raining or knowledge of demons to go fight demons?

No, that's an opinion. The whole OP is full of opinion, not facts. And I disagree. I like alot of the modern media and I don't think it is full of people just running away from stuff. Back in the old days alot of the media was about a monster or alien or something that people run away from - just look at the horror movies. But to say all modern media sucks is just an opinion.

look, if you watch carefully in the trailer Dante's hair has white patches. so either your hair becoming white comes with the whole being a kick ass demon demi god. OR which i personally think. Dante is bleaching his hair so that he can blend into soceity easier. also m8 this aint the 80s or 90s. you can hardly expect a company to keep making the same thing again and again even if the protagonist is awsome incarnate. eventually the public will get tired and only hardcore fans will buy their games. thats nice and all but that cant support a company. ALSO ninja art isnt some random ass company capcom found in on Kregslist or sommit. they have really made some brillaint things. and i think the co-creator of DMC who was on the project since DMC2 wont just randomly give out one of his best works to a company that'll spoil it. ON TOP OF ALL THAT why are you seeing this as a total reboot. you dont have to think of it as a prequel to DMC3, if you want.

In the end, its a more interesting story, better graphics, amazing looking gameplay, new combat system and a chance to better know the Dante we all respect. oh and FYI think about it. NO ONE IS BORN AWESOME! ok, Dante had a messed up childhood, a brother who hated him and is literally the son of a demon. you cant just have all that and be like hey im totally normal. you really think he didnt have to grow at some point. to learn lessons that made him who he was???

also so WHAT if he's running away he's like 17, he aint gonna stay around and keep getting captured and sent to that paralel world or watev. no hes gonna avoid it find out whos responsible and kick their ass. and now to finish YOU OFF

@788Marsri

It is a total reboot. Limbo City and amongst other things never existed in the previous DMC universe. Vergil doesn't appear in this either (from what we know) and Dante never had black hair, it was always pure white. Not only that, in previous DMC games, Dante was half demon, half human. Now he is half angel, half angel. Angels didn't even exist in the previous DMC games. Rebellion, Ebony & Ivory have also been redesigned. If that's not a reboot, I don't know what is.
 
lol my bad, i was saying you dont have to SEE it as a reboot. tho ur totally right is is a reboot. tho cud you show me the link where u heard the whole half angel thing plz. its the first ive heard of it. btw, his hair is partially white in the trailer most noticable when hes stubbing the cigarette on the demon. as for rebellion. from what i understand its linked to dante so while he is going through this intermediate phase it can change to look however he wants so it can stretch, become a scythe etc as for ebony and ivory ur right they are different i have no excuse for why i didnt know that. the only reason i can think of why theyre different is that dante upgraded(?) them.my point was he DYED his hair. maybe to fit into soceity or so he could avoid being caught by someone. finally dont rule out vergil yet. if he is in the game itll be a huge reveal. howd u feel if they said "oh btw vergils in this game hes the main antagonist or makes a surprise team up with dante". i know id be ****ed. but hey this is a place for opinon so tell me @Dante47 what do you think about the game as a whole or something specific (ur choice) :)

Have you SEEN 21 Jump street?! Anyway, not all modern things are suckish. And people have always been running away from things. Would you stay and fight an human eating, claw holding, ravage creature the very first time you see it?

I can't agree with most of this. I agree that NT didn't needtochange it nor did capcom need to tell them to but your argument is just not hitting home. I don't even know why you brought up MLP, I've seen it and while I can never truely hate it I could never love a show where everything is resolved with the power of friendshp and what not, it's just too child friendly. And yeah, alot of the stuff from the 00's sucked but that doesn't mean that all of the 80's and 90's stuff was all gold, it wasn't. I can't say I agree, sorry but it doesn't matter what funny picture you post, it just doesn't make your agument nether valid nor relevant.
