I have been a fan of the Devil May Cry series since the first title was released to PS2. It's a good series with a nice background story and some cool and simple gameplay where you more or less just gets to smash alot of demons in many stylish ways.
Dante is a cool personality, being smartass and sexy looking while he swings that sword and slings those guns when hunting demons. And though he looks different in this upcoming DmC title, I -still- think he looks awesome! I embrace these changes and I am sure he will be just as cool as the Dante we know from previous games.
Don't be afraid of change, people. It is still Devil May Cry, it is still Dante, and that's the most important thing. I admit that I was disappointed with DMC4 where Nero was the main character, not that much that you got to control another character who wasn't Dante, but that he played and looked like Dante just way too much. Nero is to me just a Dante clone. They should have made him look more unique in my opinion.
In DmC, the fifth title of the series, we get to play as Dante again! He's a Dante from an alternate reality to the former DMC world, but it is still Dante!
Appearance wise, I like what they have done with him. A teen kid with short black hair and street-like look to him fits Dante's personality perfectly. Why people call him emo baffles me as Dante is nothing like an emo kid. Perhaps you should look it up what being emo means before throwing around with stereotypes like that. Just because he's a teen with black hair doesn't mean he is an emo.
From what we see in the trailer where he is chained up in an interrogation room, all beaten up, weak and somewhat mentally disturbed really draw me in. I can't wait to find out what that is all about. It seems very interesting indeed.
Also, I hope we see some of the other characters we know from previous titles return in this one with re-invented looks as well. I would personally like to see Lucia return, as I loved playing her in DMC2 as I've always had a weakness for the ninja-like characters. But also Vergil, Trish, Lady and Nero. And I would absolutely love it if we got to play as them as well, one way or the other.
Hope that we will find out more soon. ^^
