The Dark Knight Sparda
The Legendary Dark Knight
i doubt that mainly because (especially if this is an actual reboot) he seems to be way younger then Dante in the other DMC's
One absolute reason why this is not a true DMC game

- Start date

I meant that for the main series just in case its a prequel.
I think DmC is like this:
It's a Prequel from an earlier Dante who's just coming into contact with his own demonic side,like it's something he didn't know how to explain,he probably ended up doing someshizz that he didn't wanna do,like hurt a frnd or GF or kill someone or something like that....imagine u found out u had demonic abilities when u were like 16-17 or something,ur prolly gonna be like uber-confused and u prolly won't know what to do,who to trust or **** like that...u'll prolly end up smoking cigs to deal with it or someshit....
Bout the healing factor I think it's just that maybe....Dante in DmC is just 'Human with tinges and surges of random Demonic power'....and he hasn't gone thru that whole 'I can have a sword go through me and pull it out like I don't give a ****lol' process yet......the White-Hair DT is probably just a representation of 'That's the limit Dante can reach right now' like,that's probably as much power as Dante had before unlocking his DT in DMC3....so basically what I'm saying is....maybe the power and white-hair that Dante has in DMC1-4 is another......Form...like Super-Saiyan or something....(srry for DBZ reference) and DT in DMC 3 is like Super-Saiyan 2 getting unlocked....I think before the final boss fight Dante's hair will have turned at least half white and he'll have given up smoking....and at the final boss fight he'll fully realize that Full-white hair with Red Coat power (aka the SSJ1 equivalent for Dante I just mentioned above) and u fight him using heightened powers like u can shoot those guns with Red Dante power and slash with like epic levels of Drive-like waves of dmg or something.......something to remind us of the epic boss fight from DMC1......
Overall,stop looking at the Trailer and going,ohlololololol that look sucks,I'm gonna bash on this and say I hate it just cuz everyone else seems to be hating it (I don't mean it's not ok if u genuinely hate it).....Think of it this way: maybe It's great that they make Dante look this way cuz then, if they can show this Dante slowly become THAT Dante by quitting smoking and acquire that White-hair look we know...it can be THAT much more awesome....it's kinda like how Hope is that much bigger and more meaningful to ppl who've totally fallen in despair and really need a Hot Streak or to go on a Roll in their life....it can be a great change...
Wikipedia and Devilmaycry wiki already keep saying that 'Capcom knew this would be met with negative backlash from fans and such,but this is actually a prequel of Dante meeting his half-demonic nature' or someshit like that....
If he met Vergil in some way shape or form in this Game,it'd be awesome...although I haven't played DMC2,for me the most fun boss fights in the game is when u fight another Son of Sparda-like guy....some boss who feels like a 'Rival' or some humanoid figure somewhat mirroring ur abilities and wielding at least a sword....(think Dante in DMC4,Vergil and Nelo Angelo in DMC3 and DMC1 respectively)......
btw,I heard from somewhere that Nero's the son of Vergil or something that's cuz he has such an attunement with Yamato....maybe that's what Vergil considers 'worth protecting' in his cutscenes in DMC3....maybe he already had his 'GF' impregnated by then........
Which makes me think: what if Vergil was somekinda half-ally to Dante in this game....like he shows up every now and then and u do something like a grudge match and Vergil shows off different kinds of unleashed powers....like maybe he's the first guy to do his White-hair DT?....maybe he shows up suddenly to help u beat a boss?Remember,Vergil was crushed by Eva's Death and wanted to get stronger to prevent such things grabbing the balls on his life......maybe he'll show a higher version of 'Son of Sparda' powers,like maybe his first Summoned Swords are gonna be in a classic-feeling Dante vs Vergil Fight?
srry for the Wall but I like speculating like crazy once in a while....

I agree with Angelo Creedo. Dante is a demidemon, and not a full blood demon. Sigh...why can't some people understand that? Sure his hair is both white, and black, but his hair will change. Hmm...think about it like this. When we're young our hair is a different color right? Now when we get older our hair changes to become darker or lighter. Am I right? Besides Like I said before I agree with Angelo Creedo, and it's genetics between the mother, and father.

Okay I'll elaborate a bit more on this
From memory, cause I don't watch the trailer every minute of the day, when Dante turns his sword into a whip, it looks an... awful lot like Alex Mercer's whipfist. And when he's falling off the building, he lands and creates a mini-earthquake apparently. That happens when you jump off of tall buildings. In gameplay, when Dante changed blue, it reminded me of the Speed Stance in Heavenly Sword. I'm not saying that this isn't bad, cause I play Prototype every chance I'm not playing DMC4, and I honestly liked Heavenly Sword. I'm just sayin' how they look similar.

The similarities of heavenly sword is very obvious now since the weapon changing is identical to it. Apparently you'll have to hold either the left or right trigger to changer your weapon on the fly. The difference is in heavenly sword, when you changed weapons in mid combo, the last hit will be of the changed weapon and then the new combo string begins. As for DmC you can see how easily the combo continues even while changing weapons in mid combo, which is the way dmc has always been. As for prototype, yes is looks just like his whip, if only Dante's had more functions other than pull in and zip line. But still to early to tell what else it can do. Perhaps you'll be able to upgrade? But there's no info on that as well so.....

Hey dude, I don't need to call you out or anything but we needed a topic and I forgot to answer this way back when so I hope it's cool that i'm doing this.
The main thing I have against cap com in dmc is that they have no idea what to do with the series even if the things that they could do is common sense.
all the things you suggested are moves they could make with the series but they didn't because they are wimps and instead of moving forward and fixing their mistakes, they restart. For example, you could have done Dante's journey into he'll as dmc3 instead of jumping back twenty years+ to his origin, therefore preserving timeline integrity.
Plus you could have done more with Vergil and dante post dmc3 and before dmc1 than do Nero since he is just a young Dante.

Asmo! It's been a whileIt's magic!
A wizard did it.
Ahem...has the flame war started yet, guys? I haven't read all of the comments.
In any case, I cannot stress how the 'story' of Devil May Cry is insignificant compared to the gameplay..to me at least. I feel that the name Devil May Cry is only Devil May Cry because of the combat. The stories (and I stress stories) is generic and has been done before in so many games and movies and works.
I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but with the mindset I have on this, it is extremely hard for me to say that Dante's story, background, and anything in between is any loss.
OF COURSE THAT IS MY OPINION.
EDIT: And DON'T get me started on Virgil
but it's always been a fun story, it's like the video game equivilent of evil dead 2 and army of darknessAsmo! It's been a while

That is an opinion, though. I thought the story was fun, too, but some would like to say otherwise. Besides, a fun story isn't going to last you very long. Look at the National Lampoon series and see how much it's suffered!
To express an objective viewoint:
DmC is a different game from its predecessor with the only similarities between the two being the name of the character and his weapons which are basically on the level of mere referrences rather towards the old rather than traits that have been descended from the old character to his rebooted self. Furthermore, what Tameem Antioniades calls the "DNA" of DMC is merely the combat that other games have adopted from it and have expanded on to the point where the original Devil May Cry is one the level of basic with Devil May Cry 3's "Style" system being it's only advancement. Thus, the combat of DmC, as good as it looks, and as it is presented so far, is pretty generic considering the fact that other games have brought new attributes to the genre. The only contribution I see this game having is the "start one way, end another" aspect of its combos. Seemingly, the game will allow people to switch weapons seamlessly without having to restart the combo. However, if I remember, this was the same feature found in Heavely Sword. Though I think the best contribution this game will make is the addition of platforming as a method of fighting and a factor in battle. Though platforming is a natural part of most adventure games, hack/slash games tend to focus on it less than other genres. DmC could be the first of the (DMC) hack/slash genre to have platforming as a serious part of combat, though trailers haven't shown anything other than the general "fight first, platform later" phases of most games.
As a DMC fan, I highly miss the old series, but I must accept things as they are and hope that the reboot will live up to the standards of its predecessor, giving it a much brighter future than the deathly road Capcom had taken the series. I will state that I do not appreciate the changes, nor do I feel that total change was necessary, but I am open to new ideas and I have high hopes that DmC's story will be just as much, if not more, enjoyable than that of DMC.
Thus, I am ready and willing to say, "Farewell, Dante. Rocking with you was great and it was a fun ride, but I guess it is your time to retire, at least for awhile. Maybe you will rise again, much better than you are now, but right now you must leave your throne in the hands of a much newer you. With this new version of yourself, comes new hope that you will thrive and live on, becoming something greater than yourself. However, I can't imagine you being any better than you already are. I can't imagine any moment greater than when you had made that final shot with your brother, when you had weeped at the loss of one you cherished, when you had left a legacy to one you had hope in, and when you had lived up to the legacy of your father. No, I don't think this new you could ever match such emotion, but I have hope that he will do his best to live up to the expectations you have set. And so, my most beloved Devil Hunter, even though you had left with a hopeful 'Let's Rock,' I must take that as the final one you will ever say. Or better yet, I will finish it as it should be stated.
Dante, my friend....
Let's Rock!
.... Until next time."

If you still own a ps2 or a ps3 and you're planning on getting the HD collection, you don't need to say goodbyes, or be so overly dramatic about it. its still a game.
I've bought the same (dmc1,2,3) at least 2 or 3 times already so Dante/Devil May Cry will aways be somewhere for me to play.
I mean look at Mario. That guy has so many different variations of games but the only ones i like are the NES and 64 version. He's not dead to me, just waiting for me to play it again.
Nothing last forever, but in video games, yea, you can save them forever
