Ha?
That is just childish thinking.
Try to think of an example of your theory of posers.
Basically everthing that someone has done first makes all others who did the same thing posers.
That makes everyone posers...me, you, everyone.
I am not talking about actions.
 
Talking about derailing a thread. :S
I thought this thread was about if the new Devil May Cry being an origin story or not. Not about if the new Dante is a poser or not.
 
Well it is and isnt.

An example would be how the new spiderman was introduced. Still Spiderman but not Peter Parker.
 
I am not talking about actions.
Then what are you talking about?
Just the fact that DmC character name is Dante, has two guns, rebellion etc proves that he's a poser.
Just because his name is Dante doesn't make him a poser.
There are many people in the world that are older than you and have the same name as you.....does that make you a poser?
The same situation is with two guns and the sword.
His two guns doesn't look like Ebony & Ivory and his sword doesn't look like Rebellion.
Poser is someone who tries to be what he is not, especially by the manner of dress, right?

Sorry for off-topic.

There is not a single person in world that is exactly how i am or very close to it. I am very unique just like every other in human history.

A name does not make you a poser. This list makes DmC Dante a poser:
1) He's a character in a DMC game
2) He has a sword (people saying it's Rebellion)
3) Two guns (Ebony and Ivory)
4) Demon powers
5) Red jacket and white hair (Devil trigger and supposedly hell have full white hair at end of DmC
6) "My name is Dante". Everyone knows DMC Dante - he doesn't need to say that.

So as you see it's not JUST name that makes him a poser. Just the simple fact of DMC game mixed with the name Dante makes it enough requirement to say he is a Dante poser.

All assumptions on your part.
He is not a character in a DMC game but DmC game.
He said "My name is Dante" because he was asked to, remember that psycho evaluation, not because he needed to express that he is like "old" Dante.
Demon powers.....blah how many video game characters have demon powers?
He has no white hair except when in super-saiyan form.
It's not a DMC game it's DmC game.
They are both called devil may cry but they are set in different universes.
After all, Capcom has supervised and affirmed all of NT's current progress.....why would Capcom wanna make Dante's poser???
Poser is like a copy of something, why would Capcom want to copy their character?

If you want to continue PM me.
I won't discuss it here anymore.
 
As mentioned before, a poser is someone who tries to be someone else than themselves. New Dante doesn't try to be original Dante. He IS the original Dante, but in a new interpretation in a parallel world that holds no ties to the original series. They are the same character, but different from one another. New Dante is an individual based on the original Dante, but with his own unique touch to make him appear more appealing to the western gamers.

New Dante can't be a poser, because he is not a real person. He's a fictional character. Just like Megaman.EXE isn't a poser of the original Megaman. They are just two different versions of the same character in two different worlds and game series.

Blade has a long coat, a sword and guns, does that mean Dante is a poser of Blade? No.
Sephiroth has white hair, a long coat and a sword, does that mean Dante is a poser of Sephiroth? No.
Dante from Dante's Inferno is the inspiration for Devil May Cry's Dante's name, but that doesn't mean he is a poser of him.
Someone cosplaying as Dante, is he/she a poser? Well, not unless he/she truly thinks he/she IS Dante, I guess.

The new Devil May Cry (DmC) and the original Devil May Cry (DMC) are in basics the same, but DmC is not a continuation of DMC, rather a new game with a new storyline, not attached to eachother. That means the storyplot in DMC is not the same as the one in DmC, however, there are certain things that are alike. DmC as a start on a new storyplot is then explained as an origin story, not for DMC, but for DmC, to explain how the new storyplot begins.
 
Well, they better explain this angel thing. Also, the "secret" area with (symbolic!) chains and what appears to be Dante's triggered coat.

that may not be the case anymore they haven't been calling it a parallel universe in the last few interviews and/or articles
 
let me explain DmC dante and DMC dante using this illustration.
You're drawing a land scape from a North western point of view(DMC Dante) with all the features such as trees,hills,lake(Rebellion,E & I) then you decide to start all over(Reboot/Rebirth) but instead of drawing from a North western view you move to a new spot at the South East of the same landscape(DmC dante)and then you begin to draw. The features(Trees & hill) of the landscape would still be in your new drawing but they will be different(New rebellion,new E & I) because of your new perspective(South eastern/DmC). And you might also see features such as waterfall(1/2 angel) in your south eastern view that you could spot in your north western view. But you're still drawing the same landscape(Same dante) but from a different point of view.
Comprehendé?
PS:North west and south east are alternate(same landscape/same dante alternate universes).
EDIT:how one is a poser is beyond me cos to me they are one and the same(same landscape different perspective).

Why should they mention it in every interview they make when it has already been established once? There's no reason to repeat themselves.

because they've been calling it every name under the sun: reboot, parallel universe, origin story, modernized, retelling, that this dante will become the dante we all love, etc. if they just stuck to calling it one thing and then just used different wording these last few times I'd be fine but they are just all over the place with what to call it

p.s. who wants to be that they'll compare the old dante and this new "donte" to Doctor who some point in the future

Look at it this way.
DmC is a REBOOT which is a RETELLING of an ORIGIN STORY that takes place in a PARALLEL UNIVERSE. Simple as that!!!
 
Let me explain what DmC is in a way other people won't:
DmC is a new game with a new character. However, both the game, the character and the story uses ideas from DMC. Such as Sparda, demons, Ebony and Ivory, Dante etc.

And DmC tells us the story of DmC Dante not the story of DMC Dante.
They called it "a parallel universe" or decided to do a reboot to have this freedom. But Capcom wants good sales therefor they have told Ninja theory to keep certain things similar such as character, probably some sort stuff and most important: the gameplay.

DmC is a new serie. But because DmC has or uses DMC gameplay people call it a "DMC" game despite some saying it's a new serie.


Did you know that the knowledge and experience that Ubisoft acquired by making Prince of Persia games were applied to Assassin's Creed?
Did you know that Betehsda works applied things they used in Fallout to Skyrim?

Exactly, except we haven't heard anything about Sparda in the new Devil May Cry, but the rest is spot on. ^^
