I wouldn't care. Long as the platformer is as tight as ever. Which is why I don't like 3D Marios, the platforming just doesn't feel as tight as the 2D ones. They could probably make some changes to mario and I would careless, because I play games to have fun and to get some type of enjoyment out of them.

Edit: Also Did you seriously just compare dante to probably the most iconic video game characters of all time?

rawr89

then that means you're not a fan of it at all. Mario's mustache is a trademark, just as Dante's white hair. yes, all people play games to have fun, but characters are what makes a game as well. the greatest games in the world owe a lot to their characters. DMC was released 9 years ago. and people loved it. so much so, that it inspired games like God Of War, Bayonetta, etc.

anyone who onlycares about gameplay and nothing else is just absurd. there are alot of things that make a game great. you can't only rely on 'tight platforming' to make Mario a good game. that's why everyone identifies the original Mario stage music, because it's catchy and really good for its time. same thing with other games. audio, graphics, gameplay, etc. all play a part in games.

SO your looking for a rehash? PLease go to Ninja Gaiden 3.

Welcome to the new DMC. Its new, revamped, and its gonna own

I am quite surprised with the knee-jerk reaction among the users here. At least some here are open-minded on what we saw.

Dante looks a lot like David Bowie. But David Bowie is the only one who can dress up like that and have my respect. :P

I'd say at least get a look that actually fits him, I was trying to see the resemblance between him and older dante... and I don't see it.

Espada12

Maybe because its A REVAMP OF THE SERIES. Stop comparing it to the older franchise. This is the new DMC, NOT DMC 5

Why shouldn't I compare it? DMC is DMC, revamp or not. RE4 was still compared to RE3 and such and that was a revamp. As far as I'm concerned this is DMC 5, and this new look is how I would have pictured Nero when he was younger....

Nero looks nothing like him dude. Let go of the past. Dante's gameplay was getting pretty stale after adding NOTHING NEW in 4. Except a shorter list of weapons and Nero, with no explaination of why the heck he mattered to vergil or the story.

Not facial wise, I'm talking about the overall look, because Nero was one emo punk.

Oh and how should the look fit Dante in that surrounding? In that setting? In the story? Given he is also supposed to look younger and sport an even bigger attitude. I think people are really judging this way to far. Just like they did with the new Cole in Infamous 2, which I'm still mad that they changed his appearance back. hayato_

Maybe, but that emo look isn't cutting it for me. I don't mind a different look, but I really hate how emos look, I would have preferred a biker look or something, emo annoys me.

Actually I do consider myself fan of the Mario. In fact, I'm such a big fan of the games that I'm willing to give each one of them a try no matter what changes they make to the franchise. I've bought every 3D Mario knowing that I'd most likely not like them and yet I still got them regardless so you can't tell me I'm not fan.

Also, I love how I said gameplay matters most than mario design and you bring up stuff like audio and graphics out of nowhere. I'd love to have the mario music in each and every mario music as well as nice graphics. I'm just saying that gameplay matters the most to me.

Perfect Example since I'm talking on the subject of 3D Marios. I love everything about the game, it's really a beautiful game and has an beautiful soundtrack, but I cannot get into the game at all. The gameplay just doesn't do it for me.

Hopefully you can surely understand what I mean by gameplay matters the most to me and try not to say that I'm not a fan.

Looks terrible but most likely will play great though. The Vampire look isn't working, i wonder what the female audience thinks of this.

Maybe you can play as OLDER dante or vergil, that would be sweet.

You can tell Vergil will be in the game. So lets not hate already. ;)

vergil

Kori-san

Why is Vergil going to be in the game again?



Have you not played DMC3?
Vergil is very much alive in DMC3 and as DMC5 is set before that, one can assume he will be around to fight or work with his brother.

Too Emo. Too "Twilight saga" like. :lol:

As far as the series, I'll pass. Never cared about the games after DmC 1.

And I don't care about reboots at all.

I'd be ok with change if they bothered to finish the Sparda storyline but it looks like they've just thrown that all away and went for a total reboot. Just like their going to do with the Resident Evil series. Theres so much more life left in the RE and DMC storylines. This is a completely different game and a completely different Dante. I'm sure it's going to be good an all but way to just forget your fanbase.

I wouldn't say that. Maybe initially but Mario, Metal Gear and Zelda have had LOTS of releases and some of them are very different then the majority. Mario has spanned a variety of genres and gamplay **** and all have sold well. MGS has two turn based RPGs on the PSP and had lot's of new improvements and development to the gameplay and even the intro of Raiden as a main character. Reboots with different stories, different looks and slightly different play is something that happens in games all the time, especially when people bring old school games to the new age. As long as DMC plays like all the others I can get over a different haircut and ****change.

"Ninja Theory director Tameem Antoniades takes the stage. "We're taking a younger Dante" that incorporates the youth culture of today, from fashion to music to street art, etc."

SAGE_OF_FIRE

'Street art'? I hope they don't mean graffiti.

And what sort of 'music' are they talking about - hopefully not hip hop!

He still has the emo haircut, but now it's looking more emo than ever. He can have his emo haircut and crazy clothes, just as long as he doesn't go around defacing public property and listening to hip hop. That sort of stuff just doesn't seem like Dante.

Don't see the big deal. If you don't want games to change then keep playing the same old stuff. The trailer looked good enough to make me interested. This is just "Oh noes! Max Payne is fat and bald now! Teh game sux0rs!!1" all over again. How about you wait for the actual game? If you weren't so closed-minded the game might actually be *gasp*... good.

I don't understand, how is waiting for the game going to change our criticisms about the character design? It's not like we are bashing gameplay or graphics here...

Haven't you guys been around for Reboots in movies or comics. They don't have to follow the stories written before the reboot. Heck, they might not even have Dante with a brother. I mean they haven't done anything with Virgil and Capcom seems more interested in introducing NEW characters to he DMC universe then developing existing characters. I think that's what DMC really needs to work on. Give us worthwhile characters and involve them in more then one game.

Let me put it this way.. If they turned Mario into Sonic the hedgehog and passed it off as a Mario game nobody would like it. Nobody that likes Mario games that is. The same applies here.

Yes, but that is not the case here? What you are describing is a DRASTIC change which this is not, even though people here seem to act like it is. They took the original Dante, skinny guy with shaggy white hair and loves trench coats with no shirts who looks like he shops at Hot Topic and made another skinny guy with short black hair with a white spot on the back who wears trench coats with not shirt and looks like he shops at Hot Topic. Basically I would say that the original Dante was closer to mainstream Rock while the new Dante is closer to British Punk.
