DESCRIPTION:
I am waiting to play the game before I have an opinion about it---and I'm also glad the devs are staying the course, arguments about Dante's looks are where most of the dissatisfaction is coming from. I like the darker approach, I see it as a comparison between Tim Burton's Batman & Chris Nolan's Dark Knight, Tim's was fun for it's time but it's dated---& what would you expect from a child who saw his parents gunned down for really nothing when you've got heaps of money to begin with?

Some people keep saying this is a reboot & has nothing to do with the original, I found nothing to support this, in fact, heard the opposite while watching the devs trailers---when I ask people who say this for a link to their source, of course there isn't one. I want to see how Dante's story goes, what would you expect from a child who's been chained up in an asylum, fed mind-altering drugs, obviously getting his ass kicked on a daily basis, all the while because he's seeing the real demons that no one else can? Chuckie Cheese pizza & strawberry sundaes? I don't think so---that might come with the cockiness of some age & experience but not at the beginning.

Don't get me wrong, DMC is one of my favourite games. I've played them to death so I consider myself a fan & I love Dante for all his silliness (& sarcasm in the anime & manga) I just understand the need for a change or an updating of an old story that, had it been left to follow it's predecessors, would have no doubt gotten the old, "it's the same thing, this shit's getting old" argument. Can't please everybody. According to NT & Capcom they've kept the game's fighting mechanics, so it won't be that---some people talking about framerates, well, again I've tried to find out about that & can't---I do know that the cutscenes in DMC 4 were dropped to a 30fps on the PS3, so if you were watching cutscene trailers of that, it wouldn't be looking the same either.

I actually hope that this one is the best of the whole series, I really do. And the more I see of the new Dante and the more hating I hear, the more stoked it's making me, so Capcom, release the damn game already, I want to play!!

This is just another slideshow of some more new Dante artwork from the talented artists over at deviantart.com (of which I am not) & maybe a screenshot or 2 too...I was feeling melancholy putting this together for some reason, hence the song: Outside by Staind instead of the usual hard stuff---but I'm digging this punk version of Dante, hope you do too!
