The only difference I can see is the lack of "wings" and legs. But everything else look exactly like the concept art to me.

I agree. Those were the differences I noticed too, which is why I said it wasn't completely similar. But thanks for pointing out the spectral is almost identical to the art posted here by the original poster.

It just seemed like people were confused about what the concept art was about. ^^

Indeed, seems so. Obviously they changed it so it wasn't Nero's physical demonic appearance in the game, to keep with the story. Do you think we'll ever see him with more of a demonic appearance, without the spectral?

Well, I hope we never get to see Nero again... But if Capcom insists on continueing the original series, then maybe we will see a more mature and evolved Nero in a future game. Perhaps even with an explanation to who Nero is. They don't need to make a DMC4 prequal to explain his origins...

I can't say Nero was a great addition to the Series, but I don't think he was that bad. I mean, he certainly didn't ruin it. It just shouldn't really be all about him. But some flashback explanations in cut-scenes would be ideal to give us an explanation at least.

Like many think the reboot is unnecessary and pointless... That's how I feel about Nero. Though I like DMC4 for what it is, I find Nero a pointless addition to the storyline and just added ALOT more plotholes than actually explaining any of them. I think Capcom tried to do something new with DMC by adding Nero and make him a main protagonist, but instead ended up breaking the storyline even more than it already was...

So instead they decided to wipe the board clean and start over - which is the reboot.
Instead of cleaning up the mess they made, they put it on the shelves and simply started over again.
I just hope they will do a better job this time... and without Nero.

i do agree with them messing up the storyline quite a bit. so perhaps this new storyline will be solid, with no plotholes, and maybe it won't be as confusing

I think the problem Capcom made when they introduced Nero, is that they added way too much to their plate. Like a greedy kid wanting more candy, they overdid things. Without explaining things with the story, they kept adding new people and new places and just continued to design things without telling us what the hell was going on. Eventually, after adding so much in, they realised they didn't even know what they were doing themselves. And then, after thinking long and hard and clearly not being able to think on reasonable and satisfying explanations to the mysteries in Devil May Cry, they stopped bothering to answer anything. And that's how we got to this stage. No Devil May Cry 5. No new Devil May Cry information.

Capcom may of messed up, but hopefully Ninja Theory can start a decent story with Dante and make it work. Hopefully they don't make the same mistake Capcom made.

Oh, I agree, but I was merely pointing those people who was wondering what this concept art was about into the right direction. It is the concept art of Nero's current DT which is that spirit/aura/ghost thingy...
Great atleast that will stop all the This is Nelo angelo confusion going around.
 
It looks awesome but i must say.... Capcom is retarted, wait.... no.... retarted people did not choose to be the way they are.... Capcom did.
 
I have something to say, why the Hell does Nero look a lot like the Sparda twins? I mean, seriously, is it really that hard to come up with a new design on a character? Same hair, same kind of personality, and he even gets Vergie's sword, WTF?!?!

i really think there is a reason behind his appearance. perhaps capcom will go deeper into nero's backstory

Remember that Nero has Sparda's blood in him?
 
Nero has Sparda's blood in him? That's odd, how does that one work?
And yeah, I hope Capcom does go into Nero and his past, it'd help, A LOT!

If i remember correctly, someone in the game said that the blood of Sparda flows through him or something like that.
They could have been lying, but i really don't se the point.
Besides, his appearnece makes it quite obvious.
