I really like the comment left by this one guy on gamesradar, Cferreturn. chocolateghost, is that you??
"I'm definitely super excited about DMC. I've been playing through the first three for a refresher, and man I'm just pumped about this reboot. I'm excited most with the design of Dante. I know, I know- Be careful what you say of the vicious purists will get you. I have played Devil May Cry since its original incarnation. I've followed the anime and the graphic novels, so it's not without difficulty to express that I have been a fan of the franchise since the get go. But old Dante is campy, and cheesy- and that's okay! When I play a game, I like to play games that allow me to get close to the character. Give me a character with feeling, give me a character that has some root in realism. Give me someone who hurts, regardless of how bad ass he is. That's what this new Dante represents to me. A character who has many failings on an internal level, and thus is more 'human' to me. I can put myself in the game and glean much more enjoyment from the experience. The new range of weapons also has me wetting my pants with excitement, not to mention the stunningly smooth battle system. Ninja Theory may not have the best track record as it is, but given the small list of games they've produced- you can't judge a company based only on that. Plus, Heavenly Sword may not have been successful among some groups, but it rated very, very well. I wouldn't consider it a failure short of the lack of longevity."
