gotcha!I never like reboots. But i have to accept them because game developers keep leaning on them. But when a game is rebooted, the reboot is supposed to carry on the legacy of the original games but at same time be different.
But i believe the word "reborn" is only applyable if DmC is to replace DMC and Capcom won't make any original DMC games no more. Because then Dante from DMC has been "reborn" in a way. And that i can understand. But that's ONLY if DMC games won't be made any more.
If Capcom makes a DMC game after DmC then the word "reborn" will then not be applyable to DmC Dante. However, you could say "A new Dante has been born!".
Example if DmC replaces DMC:
"Dante has been reborn" - as in he was born in DMC but reborn in DmC.
The meaning of the word "reborn" for me in a game context is:
Story wise: incarnation.
Reboot: Born into a new game but carries on the legacy of original games.
