Jim I love you.
People moaning about the hair are really annoying me. A hairstyle does not make Dante 'emo' and it does not affect your enjoyment of the game.

"I wish I was surprised about people being upset about this, but I'm not."

I hate to say it, but I actually was a bit surprised at the extent of the whining, especially the "THATS NOT DANTE" replies. How the hell can you tell the people who own the IP that they can't do what they want with their characters?

this is actually funny as hell, cause it comes across as someone catering to that whiny step child you would rather smack the shit out of. it makes me laugh that jim actually spent all of 30 seconds to actually color the hair white just to make the people who complain about the hair happy. The only gripe i would have had with the video was the lack of a sword...but he pulled it out of his ass so im happy.

Honestly he looks fine maybe. Perhaps a little scrawny but the hair is just bad. They need to work with it to make it look not fukin ghey. Nero is a good source to look to for a young Dante look. He also wasn't as lanky as this guy either.

Yes, because that was the problem and not Ninja Theory's poor track record with action games and games in general. You've solved it once again!

You know after getting a good second look on the trailer, it looks like Dante's hair is slowly becoming white throughout the course of the game anyway, so all this crying is probably unjustified. Or maybe not, seeing as this is a series reboot and this probably isn't even the Dante we all know and love. Aside from Mr. Sterling here, there are a couple of us DMC fans that do like the original plot and story settings so it's a little unsettling to just say bye to the faces we've grown to associate with the whole DMC series. What's also a little more unsettling is that they attached Ninja Theory to an already established series, when they have not technically even proven themselves. I love how destructoid continually praise Ninja Theory on Enslaved and what not, and I'll give em this, the game does look nice. But the game isn't out yet, and judging from Heavenly Sword, they have alot to learn about combat. I'm just hoping that the Japanese side of Capcom is still heavily overseeing DMC in the combat dept., because I DO NOT want to end up with a half-assed combat system like their last game. The whole series has always relied heavily on combat, and no matter how dmc looks, the combat HAS to take front row and center, and THAT'S what I mainly care about.
Anyway I'm just rambling now, so to finish up, I'm sort of okay with the (new?) Dante's look, but am looking forward to actually playing the damn thing to start forming some opinions. Also I'm REAAAALLLY hoping he looks alot less emo by the end of his journey in dmc. Here's to hoping Capcom and Ninja Theory can pull this off. Commencing the breath holding now...O_O
