They did set up for the events of DMC1 at the end of DMC3
New teaser for DMC4 Special Edition
- Thread starter Foxtrot94
- Start date
I've stated on multiple occasions that Nero is just as likely to be Dante's son as Vergil's. I doubt, however, that Dante has knowningly abandoned his son, despite his cocky attitude and dangerous lifestyle. It's more likely that he's illegitimate, and that's why no one ever heard of him until investigating the Order.
Sure, it sounds crazy, but there's just as much evidence for it if you discount the thematic elements of Nero's devil trigger (blue, arm sheath) and his arm's apparent desire for power.

Don't just link to another thread, lay out your reasoning here.
To my knowledge, nothing in DMC3 directly contradicts DMC1.
I suppose it's possible, but Dante never seems to act as though he could be Nero's father in the game. I mean there's a reason people call him "Uncle Dante" - Because that's what he acted like. The crazy uncle.
Also he has abysmal luck with women.
He only had to get lucky once. 
Also, I know of many fathers who have a parenting style more reminiscent of 'Uncle Dante'. I mean, it's not like he's had a lot of practice with this sort of thing. However, "if the kid screws up, I'll just have to kick his ass," is definitely something a certain kind of father would say.

Yeah I've looked it over, and to me, there is nothing that makes DMC3 a contradiction to DMC1.. I'd go into detail, but this isn't the thread for that.

The modder did what he could. He took the hair from DMC3 and put it on Nero's face.
Damn who would've thought 18 pages later and people are still coming up with theories and ideas as to what's going to happen in the Special Edition. Don't get me wrong I love it but boy has it become the most discussed topic, and it's trumped the discussions going on at the Definitive Edition thread...imagine what it'll be like when the game officially makes it trailer debut?
Every frame is gonna be analyzed man, count on that! XD

Doesn't mean I'm going to pretend it looks good. Good on him for trying but...no.
I'm not fond of the nero is Dante's son theory mostly because there was an easier way to bring him in than what they did in DMC4 as just making him Dante's kid who appears at the end of DMC2 and talks to lucia would ave been so much easier but taking it seriously it has the same problem as Nero being Vergil's kid.
I'm not really sure why he would drop Nero off at Fortuna since he seems more likely to raise him Damian Wayne style (that would have been so much awesomer)(NT MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!) but thats just my own fan canon at work which is the problem with DMC as headcanon seems to be more interesting than real canon.

I know, I know. I too think it looks pretty bad.
However, in gameplay you don't look at the face anyway (and you can choose if you wanna install the mod only for gameplay or for cutscenes too), and the work on the coat and the outfit is actually pretty good. That I like, and imagine what Vergil's model would look like with MT Framework...

Actually I do look at faces and things when playing games. It's one of the nip picks I do as an artist. I look at every texture, every buckle, and every stitch in a character's design and outfit. One of the reasons I can't stand the Neo Dante costume is because of how naked it looks. It makes Dante look so skinny then what he really is. And even though I like the classic costumes of DMC1 and DMC3.....THE HAIR on those costumes is too distracting at times.
If he was Dante's son...would he stab his kid with rebellion to teach him how to devil trigger? 
Oh he certainly would. Survival of the fittest is his rule #1. What doesn't kill you makes you a devil I guess.If he was Dante's son...would he stab his kid with rebellion to teach him how to devil trigger?
Oh hell, what did I start here...
Well does Nero's cocky manner remind you of DMC 3 Dante? Perhaps Dante was fighting Nero to test how strong Nero was?
