The newly revealed Devil May Cry game, DmC, is a collaborative effort between Capcom Japan, Capcom USA, and Ninja Theory. This reboot of sorts plays with the tried and true hallmarks of the series, and a lot of the visual changes seem to have come from Ninja Theory. Their Tameen Antoniades, DmC's co-director, took the stage tonight at a pre-TGS Capcom event to reveal where he pulled some inspiration from.
Antoniades said that the original games had a massive impact on him, with their music, fashion sense and overall look, so he wanted to continue with that same level of impact in this new game. He said that DmC pulls inspiration from today's rebellious youth. The development team looked to current fashion, music, street art, and general attitudes while working on the game in an effort to bring some freshness to the series. Despite these changes, he stated that they want to keep the essence of classic Devil May Cry game play intact.
Capcom supervising director Hideaki Itsuno took the stage with Antoniades to support the changes, saying that they brought a "unique sense of cool" to the series, while Capcom brought the know-how and "DNA" of the series. He said that these will combine to make the best Devil May Cry game they possibly can.

Either way I'm sitting on the fence 'til we hear more details.
Nothing of the orginal lore is runined
If you want the old gameplay Bayonetta is RIGHT THEIR with a possible sequal coming about
Soooooo... yeah
Holy shit, I wanna take you on on that claim so bad but I'm hungry as hell and not in the mood.
But I digress. New Dante looks more like what is being sold to this generation as rebellion. Not neccesarily what rebellion is or what this generations rebels are doing.
Mind you, to be a rebel, you have to actually be rebelling against something. It's not a look. You don't get to be a rebel by getting a fucking piercing.
Oh God. High school punk Xzyliac is starting to peak again. I need to go do something grown up now. Like wear a pair of khakis.
It wasn't a bad game, but no one liked Raiden. Hopefully this one won't screw up.
I could understand people wanting that from a game that claims to be DMC5 or the next installment
But this doesn't, so they shouldn't, A ture DMC5 could and probably will happen later on anyways. I mean they used DMC3 Dante for MvC3 so it's not like they've forgotten about him
But this is all very unnecessary. Devil May Cry wasn't broken by any means and nobody was asking for a revamp of Dante.
I haven't read too much on this, but is this game a sequel or a prequel? I could buy it better if it was a prequel atleast but sorry, I throw my ring in the hat for "Dante looked more bad ass before".
Hm no, kids of all generations are whiney. ¬¬
is it just me or is his head HUGE? I'm about the same height and I don't think my head alone is more than 12 inches D:
What the hell, Capcom?!
And he's NOT emo, he's just alternative. He's not out there whining and lamenting life, he's out there kicking ass and being a cocky bastard. That's not emo.
By the way, if you have ever said anything to the effect of "OMG, THIS RUINS THE SERIES" then you are a moron. You don't know jack about the game yet and the ONLY thing people are bitching about is his character design.
How the hell would you expect a young Dante to look? This is a pretty decent and believable representation if you ask me.
Even the lack of white hair could be cool if we see HOW he gets the white hair.
Final statement: He looks like a douche because Dante IS a douche! What games have you people been playing?
