Not exactly.
They said something to the effect of OldDante walking into a bar and being laughed out. I bullshit you not.

Well 2 things
Again, the special edition solves your personal problem with Dante. Play as Virgil or Sparda. Hell, skip the cutscenes.
(Not trying to flame you mate, honest) Why comment on this particular thread? If you had no interest, I don't see the thinking behind it

WHOA mate! 2 sucked bad, but where on the British Isles were you when Dante's Awakening released? It's easily the best in the series...
That laughing out of a bar thing was about the red trench, white hair and dress sense. I think they forgot about the fiction side to the game, or how how out of all game characters with the japanese edge to it a red trench and white hair isnt that odd. [eg Final Fantasy]
Is a poor reason if it is one.
Edit: Ep1 of the anime, no-one batted an eyelid when he entered the bar..

Play 3. Then you'll understand why DMC blew up all over again.
Yeah, I'll admit, the cutscenes are pretty cheesy, but that's only in the very beginning, DMC 3 took a morre serious turn a littla after 1/3 of the way. Not saying it's a symphony, but it's not Britney Spears either.
And, I'm curious-- Did you play DMC 1? That game can not be honestly considered cheesy.

If I need to skip the cutscenes in order to enjoy the game, that's ghey. Plus, couldn't give a shit about either those two.
Quite contrary, I believe I may have already said that this Devil May Cry looks far more interesting then its predecessors, same goes with Dante, even if he does look like the Frankenstein Monster on meth.

Haha 😄
You may be right, but I was just saying to enjoy the game part of it. I mean if you aren't really into MGS4's storyline, you can still enjoy the fantastic gameplay.
But I agree. This game DOES look interesting, I just wish they didn't have to change Dante's look to do it. Considering that, in chronological order, DMC 2 is the last game, they could have easily used that Dante as a template, because he was about his most serious, personality-wise. It just strikes me as out of continuity with Marvel vs Capcom 3. Besides, we only need one chain smoking video game character, and that'd be Snake

This being the cheesiest line EVAR!
Now thats more like it. Had a good feeling that his 'DT' form would be a white haired version of himself, the combat is looking fairly good too. Not DMC4 style tormenting good.. but good enough. The weapon style and combat get a thumbs up too.
Though some of the scenes looked like they were made before DMC4, some parts even looking less real then other DMC games. Do hope they work on this. Just need to see the storyline.
Other than that I like what I see 😊 ....... so far >__>
That trailer was downright Assassin's Creed-esque.
Anyway, I'd long-since entered a state of neutrality with my views towards this game, and the fact that there's actually a DT in the game suggests that the game actually is a full reboot continuity in addition to an origin story (it was always unclear). Good move afaic; I stopped taking the old Dante seriously a long time ago, and stopped thinking he was cool even sooner. Hopefully this portrayal doesn't evolve into something so overblown.
The gameplay is shaping up, some parts even appear faster than previous games. And a scythe. Finally a game to use one in combat well. Do hope they can fit a lot more enemies on the screen to match the large areas.
No word on the story yet but they have released some info; They've decided to add to Dante's origin story. Apparently the game will have him coming to terms with his half-demon and half-angel lineage with his 'Rebellion' changing forms with these powers. The fast, weak, blue scythe for angel and slow, strong, red axe for devil.
Have always liked the angel/demon hybrids, but is it good to replace his origin with this? One issue I have is that it takes away Dante's 'humanity' card. The games have him hating demons and not being fond of his devil side and how he'd rather embrace his human/mothers side. Being a 'demon with a heart' was an important thing, they even stated in a few media that it was due to him embracing his humanity that he was able to surpass normal demons. Maybe they'll replace this with the angels pure heart business. /shrugs
This thread pretty much sums up the inadequacies of this game for me:
