Vampi's calling him Dino, as in "Dante In Name Only".
Bit much, if you ask me.

moseslmpg;275280 said:It is totally appropriate, because nothing else about him is Dante-like. And it is a convenient way to distinguish him from the actual Dante.
Yes we do. If he had a different name, no one would even imagine he could be Dante. Gameplay is irrelevant, because we are referring to his character. He doesn't look like Dante, act like him, apparently talk like him, and he does things like smoking that are antithetical to the very concept of Dante.Storm Silves;275282 said:Not really, imo. Sure, it's convenient, but we really don't know if he's not like the real Dante till we see gameplay and/or cutscenes. He could be the Dante we remember in a different wrapper. We have to wait and see.

My first reaction would have been "another DMC clone like Bayonetta"
Vampi;275469 said:Dino does not wear DMC 2 clothes. DMC 2 Dante is the most stylish Dante out of the series (speaking of his clothes only). This no way this bum dresses anything like him. It looks like he got his clothes from a garbage dumpster.
Besides, you would just identify it as just a DMC clone. Not as THE Dante.
Darth Angelo;275474 said:Same thing, a DMC clone as in it is trying to recreate a character just like THE Dante.
He seems to have the same attitude and even the same weapons. Something tells me that previous transformations he has gone through were more drastic than making him skinnier and giving him a haircut.
He had an enemy in a headlock while he finished a cigarette and put it out in his face. Sounds like something a smoking Dante would do to me.

Why should we, as DMC fans, even care to give the game a chance? What do we owe it, given that it is DMC in name only? Do you feel that we ought to give it a chance because Capcom is making it or because it is called DMC or perhaps because the main character's name is Dante? Are you just holding out hope that the "real DMC" will show up later?
If this is really a reboot and there is no "clever" ruse as with the DMC4 trailer, why should we, DMC fans, even care if this game is bad or good? The way I see it, this isn't DMC, it is just a generic action game because there is nothing left of DMC except the name. If it is bad, tant pis, if it is good, tant meux. None of that means anything for DMC or DMC fans though.
Justify your temperance and submit yourself to Arishem the Judge.
