I never thought of it being the prologue. This game is bound to be amazing and it's sad that a lot of fans are likely to miss out on it because they're so biased. Considering that Bayonetta is seen as DMC's "rival", I'm sure this game is going to be good enough to make Bayonetta, and the previous DMC games, look amateur. There's no way Capcom would put out a game that's going to be outshone by it's predecessors and competition. They did that with DMC2 and they swore to never do anything like it again, and if it's true that they were modelling this new game to what fans want...well, what have we all been moaning and groaning about since DMC4? MORE DANTE. And that's what we're going to get, CLEARLY, so I really don't understand why people are upset about it. But yeah, like you, I do think that the 'real' Dante is going to be in the game, and I doubt he's going to have a minor role like in DMC4. I think it's going to be all about Dante. ^_^
