DragonMaster's thoughts on the Transition: 2010 Dante to now Dante

DragonMaster2010

Don't Let the Fall of America be Your Fall
This something to discuss for a bit.

This is on my thoughts on the transitions of new Dante's look and personality. Let's begin


The Hair

His hair was one of the biggest controversy for the games first coming out, but I think it was more the change of the entire game itself, rather the hair. Anyway, I thought the hair design was a bit odd and not all that special looking. It seemed like it was brushed down and all that.

His hair changed again, and this time it was kept kind of like the 2010 version but this time, the bangs were shorter, thesides of his head were faded and the back of his hair ended in a small mohawk like thing going on. I thought this hairstyle was more cooler and different from what I've seen of hairstyles.

The Clothes

When I first saw his clothes, I thought they looked awful and just wierd looking. The jacket looked odd as if he was wearing a shale on his coat. After awhile I did start to get use to the coat though.

The clothes looked better in my opinion now. The hooded parka was an awesome touch and the boots fit the DMC vibe of DMC3 Dante wearing boots. However, I did like the necklace looked cooler in the 2010 version, and his pants...well I think we can all see what I mean.

The weapons

The weapons that were shown were his guns and that transforming weapon. Now from what I've seen, it kind of looks like the rebellion design but it did transform into a long staff, an axe, and a grappling hook as well. I wasn't to fond of the guns or the weapon he was using since I didn't see a sword in there at all, but I did like his gun moves in the beginning of the trailer.

I do like the newer guns and the addition of a rebooted Rebellion sword to give it that ol' DMC flare. I also like the concept of the rebellion and how it transforms into other weapons, but still not overly show off in the look of it, Y'know staying simplistic and not overly showoffed like DMC4's rebellion.

The Personality

In 2010, Dante seemed like a troubled guy who was someone who also looked like couldn't get a long with people right away. He seemed like the type that would start random fights with people and just go insane on them. He'd also look like the type who'd have an attitude with just society in general and get's angry easily.

In 2012, Dante has gotten a cocky, and douchebag attitude where he's quick to mouth off at a demon and insult them with cussing and belittling. He also shows that he's a bit of a hothead as seen in the club mission were he seems angry at Lilith possibly for kidnapping Kat. He was now that cocky hotheaded guy who loves to be a dick to people, but will get mad if you mess with him.

That's all from me.^_^
 
awesome thread bro!....and for me i liked the 2010 dante better.....hes look is more kick@ss now but.....theres something i dont understand.....hes attitude does not go with the hole i was tortured when i was a kid story!....but in the 2010 you can see the pain in his eyes and that he wants to hurt and torture them as they did to him......
 
I guess we can all agree that the 2010 trailer was alot more badass.

But some didn't agree to that back then. (By some I mean every other fanboy and fangirl in the world)
Personally I think they always wanted Dante to be cocky and like he is in the 2012 version but the first trailer was to be cool. Plus we don't see Dante's personallity in the 2010 trailer so it's hard to know how he was acting.
 
i feel like they are sticking to the 2010 dante image, i mean when they showed the debut trailer they said that dante would retain his personality only he would be more rough around the edges, more brutal, and angrier. everyone judged way too early of 2010 dante because now we are finally seeing dante's attitude and he still keeps his angry, more brutal edge.

Exactly this. They've said from the VERY BEGINNING how Dante would be in this game, and that's exactly what we have. They haven't changed, or tried to appeal to crying fanboys. They're sticking to their guns. People drawing all of those "emo" and such and such conclusions from the 2010 trailer confuse me. I don't know where it comes from, we barely saw anything.
 
Honestly... I don't think we've seen the last of 2010 Dante. I think Dante will be kidnapped and tortured at some point in the game, giving him a grungier look. This will also serve as a low point in Dante's life, giving him a more brutal outlook on life. Sort of like when James Bond is tortured in the first 007 novel, Casino Royale. Or maybe I'm wrong. I feel like everything presented in that trailer will make a return, including the staff that he uses.

glad someone agrees.
like dante47 said, i feel like dante will still be captured and tortured at some point in the game just like in the 2010 trailer, then those crying fanboys that are saying ninja theory changed their vision will feel like idiots.

yeah i agree too :) but what i meant by his look is that he didnt talk much and just took out the trash you know....maybe it will happen and in the game his personality will change and seek out revenge who knows :)
 
Yeah, it isn't as if Dante changed that drastically between the 2010 trailer and 2012 trailers, it's more like to which things Ninja Theory focused in the trailers. I see the roughness in both versions of Dante, and I think, like some other people here, that Dante will have his bad moments in the game and show more visibly the feelings that were present in the 2010 trailer.
 
^ I kind of see it given that Now Dante seems like a more fleshed out version of DMC3 Dante.

I felt the difference between the two was because TGS 10 was more like concept art were Captivate is the final product.

While in story, TGS10 is Dante at age 16 when he first just got out of whatever institution was holding him, Captivate 12 is him two-three years after when he got adjusted to the outside world.

Kind of like the Bayonetta opening. Where we see Bayonetta and Jeanne fighting along side each other against angels. I guess it could be like us fighting with TGS 2010 Dante for the prolouge and then we find out he was dreaming that part and go right into the 2012 part.
