Honestly, regarding "angsty punk teenager" Dante Max Scoville said it best:
"Instead of looking like a cross between Vash the Stampede and Sephiroth, he actually looks like...an original character. OH SHIT."
"Instead of looking like a cross between Vash the Stampede and Sephiroth, he actually looks like...an original character. OH SHIT."
In terms of the actual content of the trailer, it's beginning to look more and more like a Ninja Theory game. Which is not a good thing to me.
I see "Amerishit" in there so I'm going to assume 4chan already had their fun with this one. Game does look pretty shitty though. Hitting the same button 4 times in a row for a SSS ranking is just sad.
TBH I don't really want my protagionist to look like Gerard Way the lead singer of My Chemical Romance...
It's also super "late 90s/early 00s", grindy, and industrial as fuck.
Just like everything else, Ninja Theory is trying to continue this trend for DmC, and dipshits continue to hate them for no reason.

Why was there no uproar over DMC4? Dante was not even the main character of that game; Nero was. Were they like, "Sure it's not technically Dante but he looks just like him and he's in the game a little bit." Why did those fans compromise with the main character decision but this one is somehow so much worse. Double standards.
I don't know why everyone is so mad, all the original devil may cry games sucked anyway. This is just a second chance for them to not suck.
I'm surprised you listed as much criticism that didn't involve hair color as this, Jim! I expected cherry picked comments focusing all in aesthetics, which seemed like your perception of every criticism against this game. I guess you're associating the shift in gameplay with the shallow loons now, too.
Team Ninja combat with pin-to-the-air aerial combat, no lock on, removal of styles, and Bayonetta's PS3-port frame rate. None of that sounds enticing or like DMC. People love GoW's simplistic combat, though, so I'm sure the technical action niche this series used to fill will be swallowed hole by something more mainstream, and any complaints will continue to be labeled as fanatical...

"DmC or as it’s known amongst fans That Fucking Shit Emo Dante Thing has continued to receive positive previews, with journalists and critics saying it looks to be a fantastic reinvention of the Devil May Cry franchise. A member of the press from IGN said “It could well be one of the best games this generation, so it’s great to see that a huge pantheon of idiotic fanboys will never enjoy it. That way they can’t ruin this for us like they did everything else that is popular.”"

Also I'm getting massive No More Heroes vibes from this. I like this.

THE SPOOKY: It is, but he's referring to how it's "the most late 90s/ early 00s thing ever IN THE WORST WAYS."
aka the dark and edgy reboot bullshit

I dont know how anyone can complain about this game. It looks super fun, and I dig everything about it. Except the music. If they're "changing" a bunch of things from the 1st 4, I really with the musical choice would have been part of he list. Not a big fan of the post-hardcore buttrock the DMC games seem to embrace
Oh, and Ninja Theory's last game -- Enslaved: Odyssey to the West -- was more interesting and memorable than any of the Devil May Cry games have ever been. Deal with it.
@Pixel Jack - Some people play action games for their gameplay, not the 'interesting and memorable' plots.
"Instead of looking like a cross between Vash the Stampede and Sephiroth, he actually looks like...an original character. OH SHIT."
@The Spooky
That quote is dumb. So just because Dante wore a red trenchcoat that looks nothing like Vash's and has white hair that looks nothing like Sephiroth's, he's automatically a combination of those two characters and was never an original looking character? That's bullshit. And the new Dante may look "original" (if you're not looking at the comparison photos of him and the game's designer), but it is neither true to the character it's supposed to be or very appealing.
The only thing I like about Ninja Theory games are the stories they write, which is why I'm curious about this new DmC. Enslaved had a fantastic story, but its gameplay was incredibly weak and too automated (like Uncharted on Auto-Pilot). Based on past Ninja Theory games and gameplay videos from DmC, I already know it's going to be boring, repetitive shit. But I'll try it out just to see where they're going with the story.

I like how everything they're complaining about the gameplay was already present in the past DMC games.
Also holy fuck, what's with the capslock, dude
And remember gaiz:
"Good gamers can judge games from footage and trailers without playing it. If you think this looks good you're just a bad gamer."

I see no problem with the game itself or the character, I think the problem started from the very beggining with the idea of a reboot, why does it even need a reboot? It's so different it may as well be a new IP... even a sequel or a spin off with this cahracter not being named Dante at all would of been better for everybody... maybe is not about the new look or the angst or whatever, it's about changing an stablished franchise into something completly different... maybe?
yea i think the original dante looks better but this game does look really good am i am going to play it but yea new dante looks like a tool.
@ Zarbear
What double standards?
If you look hard enough you can find the same people hating on Nero (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TyxmeDBxTA) and hating on Dino (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqlvQ-K4OOg). Otherwise, look on forums or google "Nero Hate".
Fortunately, Dante is playable for half of DMC4 so that game managed to get redeemed pretty quickly. Especially as in this industry (and probably any of them), when a terrible idea (Reboot DMC, new company, new direction) is presented, an odd idea (Add a new character, half of the focus on him or so, Dante is secondary) can look brilliant.
Dante the original taking a less key role in the story than 100% isn't on the same level as Dante being completely different, the combat and controls being different, the fundamental lore being different and the series being all but replaced by an "in name only" installment.

It's because Capcom (and most other developers) are too scared to risk releasing a brand new IP. So instead, they slap titles like "Resident Evil" or "Devil May Cry" on everything since they're established franchises that are guaranteed sales.

I just want to say that original Dante looked like a rapist porn star.
I mean really, white hair, exposed chest.
Really.
Who walks around like this and kills demons.
He's wearing some kind of bra thing too, if that's not homoerotic, then I don't what it is.

The last guardian, a game that isn't even out, is literally and factually better than all prior DMC installments.
@Jim Sterling
At least the Vergil wearing a fedora complaints are true. They look horrible on anyone not called Harrison Ford.
Also Jim, are you the fat guy from the trailer? How much DID Ninja theory pay you for that privilege?

Because Jim has never been known to criticize Capcom ever! Nope, always sucking that big publisher cock.
Didn't like the trailer but Dante has always been an irritating fuck. In the first 2 games he was a prick but didn't know it, in DMc 3 he embraced his prickishness so there really is no difference between this dante and the old white haired dante.... I like the look of this game....
