• Wow. not only does he look like a douche, he sounds like one. Cosplaying Dante should take more than a trip to goodwill. What a horrible design. Too bad because the Inception-eque morphing buildings and bleeding in of the hell dimension looked really well done.

• Yeah...only slower and stiffer with less creative weaponry...That's what I was hoping for in a DMC sequel...Oh, wait. No...

• I'd like to add that when you factor in CONTEXT, we're talking about a brash and arrogant character at the height of his arrogance in a hyper-stylized reality, who we see doesn't get the time to throw on a shirt before shit hit the fan... So criticizing the design for DMC 3 Dante in your attempt to defend this new look just proves you to be full of shit. Fuck this underwhelming game, fuck Ninja Theory, fuck their lackluster catalog, and fuck the asinine claim that Dante "looked like a douche." THIS design looks like a douche 'cause he looks far too much like an asshole hipster you'd really meet in a bar...

• I rather think Emo Dante is a human form/appearance which he upholds to the normal human observer. The whole building changing is likewise the demon world breaking into the human realm and Dante comes to accept his demon heritage as you play the game. And at the end he gets Rebellion.

• Umm... okay?

• I'd like to do kinky things to Channing Tatum's "aesthetics" that might get me thrown in jail in all fifty states except Texas, cuz that's how they roll. XD

• I think Dante looks more like Hayden Christansen when he was Angry Emo Anakin. He still looks ridiculous, and he still looks like a shitty actor, though... 

• True. He looked like the star of "Poor Little White Guy" XD ... ...yes, it's gay porn.

• Devil May Spam?

• Is that you Tameeem? Still trying to dis the OG Dante while shoveling this shit on us? Lemme show you what a REAL douchebag Dante looks like... http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/3/34626/1675720-tameem.jpg Game looks decent, but FUCK HIM, and his character redesign.

• Oh come on, man! That's clearly Shia the Beef!

• Self-insert fantasy is nothing new. Check out Twilight. 

• OH U! XD

• Really? Because it looked like it still plays like a Devil May Cry game to me.

• not as good as #4: Dante does Dallas

• I don't have a problem with the character design as much as I do with the plot and setting: HOW would this game fit with the Devil May Cry canon? And before you say "This is Dante in his younger years!", hold it right there, punk! We already HAVE a game featuring Dante in his brash and immature younger years. It's called "Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening", and it is glorious! Also, "You don't fuck with a God". Wow. Really, Capcom? Really?

• Hey, it works for Bayformers. For better or for worse.

• Bah fuck my shitty typing skills. "Redesigning" was the word I was looking for.

• Personally what bothers me is that they don't simply come up with a new game. Resigning a character completely and selling it under a known title screams "Hey loyal fans, buy this because it has similar things to games you like and we used the name to rope you in, but now without any of the characters you've come to identify with the series!" I'm fine with using the same universe/mythos but then at least throw me a bone and create a new character, don't just use a name for nostalgia bait.

• Hey, it's "Jumper" the video game.  That's Hayden Christensen, right?

• looks like Channing Tatum? no, I don't really see the resemblance... looks like the creative director for the game? now we're on to something  checkout the link: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/gc-11-devil-may/719710

• I was all WTF at first when I saw his new look.  But giving it a few minutes to sink in and remembering who I am, I'm on board. Also, he looks nothing like Channing Tatum.

• I'm sure when they complain they are referring to the gameplay. I doubt anyone is tired of Dante's appearance and was begging for a new look.

• Either that or we're still scarred and wary from Capcom's stupid character redesign in Bionic Commando.

• I think the game looks fine. I just think Capcom finally found a way to explain away the shitty voice acting.

• That's not what punk looks like to me, this new Dante's wayyy too clean to be a punk.  He's way too much of a skinny pretty boy is all I'm saying.

•  Man I would agree but Enslaved's combat was awful and while Heavanly Sword was ok that makes me worry about DmC.  They should have given it to Platinum games.

• Looks pretty good to me. I didnt know trench coats with a hood was hipstery! oh well, people dont do well with change so they start to lash out at it. The gameplay looks sick, the alternate universe is interesting, and his look is meant to appeal to a younger generation. Trust me Capcom will have some oldschool DLC costume skins.

• looks like devil may cry to me. people always bitch because everything is rehashed, stale, and unoriginal. Someone comes along and redesigns a character... and the same people bitch because they changed something. Gamers are assholes.

• Rob, of all the amazing deeds that Dante performs in this video, all you can talk about is how he LOOKS? Dante has been an inspiration to boys around the world for years - and now you're callously pissing all over him, and them, just to be a dick and to dismiss this strong, talented man with your phallo-spiteful venom. That's %#$&ing SEXIST! SHAME ON YOU.

• He looks young and punk, sex pistols punk.   The major thing is that the game is done by Ninja Theory and they put out good games, at least in my opinion, so I wouldn't worry about that, and if your issue is with how he looks, I get it but I think the game play and story will overshadow that. 

• Oh come on Rob. As a female fan of Channing Tatum's....aesthetics, Dante looks nothing like him.

• at least that was also the best DMC game ever. All that Dante had to do was put a t-shirt on, and he'd not look douchy anymore.

• Oh, god, plz don't be pulling my chain on this... Because I was just about to post about how I hope this game is all a fever dream the original Dante wakes up from at the end.

• He looks like a punk. They're going for a Sex Pistols angle. 

• Yeah but he was our douchebag now he's a new kind of douchebag designed to appeal a younger generation and that is the problem it's alienating for the old fans. He looks like Pete Wentz for fuck's sake.

• So the hating on DMC because of how Dante looks has made it's way to TR. Well it was only a matter of time.  Time to sit back and read about the people freaking out about it.  If you want to see what a douchbag Dante really looks like http://www.oyunresimleri.com/data/media/20/devil_may_cry_3.jpg

• So now Dante goes from looking like a stereotypical Japanese game pretty boy to a stereotypical American "Gritty McGrimendark" character?  At least if the designers keep this appearance with the male form of Megan Fox, they can then give us a lot of "shots for the ladies", not unlike gender-reversed Bayonetta cheesecake-fu.

• i can't see the video (is it video??) but is Rob using that tatum/chicken pic again?

• And now suddenly, I like this new iteration of Devil May Cry even less.  Oh well, at least the anniversary collection is being released in HD next year, that way I can drown my sorrows in real badassery and zero emo.

• Devil may cry's development team have finally listened to the hate mail and have switched the plot from prequel to different universe where normal dante is still around (And due to an equally number of hate mail) and normal dante will make an appearance at the end

• Why did they have to drag They Live into this? I love that movie, I don't want it associated it with devil may cry.

• Well it looks like someone on the development team is a fan of They Live.

• Don't tell me that Rob. You're going to make me punch the Internet in the nut and spit on it as it writhes in pain
