Answer that question yourself first. Why do you think it sounds bad?

You know? I predicted you'd make this question. I guess i have to answer first:
Angel/Demon concept might drag religion into story.
Religion story and game = not so good.
One of my personal philosophies are "Don't ask a question you aren't ready to answer yourself."
As for the religion thing, it doesn't necessarily drag religion into the game more than it had in the past games. It wouldn't be any different from how Bayonetta did it. From what we have seen so far, it seems more like an excuse for the game mechanics rather than Dante actually becoming a beacon of a religious character. But again, personal opinion is personal.
I find it interesting, because it would make a personal conflict to Dante. He's a child of two colliding forces, the holy and the damned, and from the hints we've gotten, he's being neutral about it, not taking sides as such, unlike the original Dante who took sides with the humans (his human part) and went against demons. I wonder how well they will play this out in the storyplot.

Well prepared.

Just saying if the angel part is a story thing related to religion, then it does not sound good for DmC. It doesn't sound like a game mechanic excuse (isn't human stance that?).

As i've said many times, NT Dante has nothing to do with Dante and vice versa, so avoid dragging them into the discussions. For all we know there might not be a Sparda, a Trish, a Lucia or any of the same characters in DmC. And even if there are it's probably for marketing reasons. I certainly don't expect anything DMC from DmC than what it has copied already. Though something tells me NT is using DMC characters and concepts already though.
He's not neutral, he's already started to take out "cameras". But again i personally want to sleep with the thought of Holy vs
Being neutral means that he is not with one or the other. Maybe the demons wants to get their hands on Dante, so he is just resisting that. That doesn't mean he has taken sides with the angels.
And there will ALWAYS be made comparisons between the two Dante, wether you like it or not. So there's no use trying to prevent it. I will make any comparison I feel like, so asking me not to is just as useless.

Just saying if you want that dumb poser to be viewed with an open mind you should not compare the two. By doing so you will expose the poser.

The interviews main-focus is to advertise. What new info did the interview provided to russian magazine reveal? That angels might not be typical good?
A russian who buys games has probably or can afford a pc with internet access. And if they are fans of DMC they would already read up the news on it.
So if that interview is to "provide info" - then why is 95% of it old news that was repeated like...3 weeks ago?
It's advertisement directed to the readers/followers of that russian game magazine.
From the people who's asking the questions (the magazine people) the intention for them is to get info, but for NT/Capcom it's to get free advertisement. Expose their product to a magazine.
Like i said, a russian DMC fan have access to internet and would know the news.
Where as a causal gamer would not know if DmC exists or not. So by providing the interview unaware gamers will become "enlighted".

Just because the game magazine requested the interview it automatically means that NT/Capcom have no motives of advertising DmC, and that's the reason they are saying yes to take part in the interview? You said the main focus is "info", and i pointed out that 95% of the stuff mentioned in the interview is pretty old news. So what "info" did it provide other than things that DMC fans can read up on easily?
No new info revealed, just proves that the idea with the interview from NT/Capcom's side is not to talk about the game more but to advertise it. Because you said "the main focus is info".
Why they repeated same thing three times? There is more than one game magazine/site. You go from IGN to Gamespot to Game radar etc. All of these sites and game magazines have readers/viewers. And there are people who don't view IGN, but view Gamespot. There are people who ignore Youtube, and so on. So it will get you attention if you put your produce in different places's spotlight.
As for causal gamers buying gamers press? I don't think many of the russian game magazines readers are DMC fans. They fall then in the group of "causal gamers".
Assuming that everyone get their news from same places is stupid. There is many sources of news.

Hello everyone, I'm yet another refugee from the front at CU. Anyway.
Like the new screens--it's about time we had something new, and the quality is excellent. My faith in the graphical capabilities of this game is rising again after the most recent low-res gameplay trailers.
Oh, and nice to see you Deadlegend. You were one of the only sane people over there...

Sorry to disappoint you but there is a war over here as well. I got my soldiers set everywhere:
KGB Cat takes down everyone in close combat:
SHARP eye takes out anyone from distance
Gun Cat hasn't decided what field he will cover, so he's still at armoury:
Welcome to the forums. I hope you survive
I fled from the Capcom forums as well, only to meet other haters here. It's not as bad here though, there are only a few on here who are like talking to brick walls, clinging onto their hatred as if it is all they got in life. So all I can say is, good luck.

Hey! Haven't seen you in a while! Yeah, I abandoned the Capcom Forums......they suck a lot.
Sorry if the translation is a little 'off'. I tried my best, and the Google Translate was REALLY giving me hell. The Ninja Theory forum people are so sulky about it.

Oh, I haven't abandoned it, but all the reasonable people--like you, Gamingpixie, Amanda--all left, and all the topics died except for one or two epic trolling competitions. So there isn't really much to do there these days. Even my hobby of pot-stirring and troll-baiting got worn out.

@ CoolDemon: if someone has just enough extra money to buy a game console and a few games then after they buy the console and games they will then not have enough money to buy a computer and get internet. trust me it happens. for most of my life i had at least one game console but no internet. do you really think it would be unlikely for anyone in Russia (or anywhere else) to be in that situation now.
