Fenrir said:The problem with Vergil is that he's too reserved and not as cocky and flamboyant as Dante. Watching the story progress is just not going to be as much fun without Dante's macho one-liners and haughty attitude.
Dante actually annoyed me somewhat in Devil May Cry 3. Actualyl aside from Devil May Cry 3, he's not exactly an extrovert, he was more reserved then a lot of people seem to give him credit for.
Vergil = Awesome.
And you can clearly see Dante in a few of those grabs.

Devil May Cry 4 Update
Say goodbye to Dante, hello to...
Dante is going to be taken a back seat in the first next generation entry in the Devil May Cry series. The new issue of Famitsu reveals that Devil May Cry 4 will feature a new lead in the form of Nero, a new character who slightly resembles Dante in that he has white hair and sports a long coat.
Speaking with the magazine, director Hideaki Itsuno stated that the change was made in part to put fans and newcomers on equal ground with the game. One of the worries was that if the game looks too much like a sequel, new players will have a hard time of playing.
The classic Devil May Cry hero will appear in the game as a "mysterious person." From Nero's perspective, Dante is an enemy who appears out of nowhere and kills his allies. Chronologically, the Dante that appears in this game comes after part 1 but before part 2 (the series chronology is 3, 1, 4, 2).
Kobayashi wouldn't state for sure if Dante will be playable (Famitsu shows some shots of Dante shooting his gun, but these may just be event scenes), but Nero seems to have enough tricks that you won't want to go back to the classic hero. Nero has access to a new array of attacks using his "Devil Right Hand." Nero's right hand can be used to pull distant enemies in and send enemies that are close by flying away.
All the classic Devil May Cry moves are also planned for the game. Nero can wield two guns and has access to a variety of swords, including the powerful Red Queen. The combo system is based on that of part 3, Itsuno revealed to the magazine, noting that Capcom has been making adjustments by listening to user feedback. There are a few mysterious new systems, including one where your sword has an element of "acceleration" about it, but details will have to wait until a certain late-September game show.
Devil May Cry is also about stylish drama sequences between the action, and Itsuno and crew seem to have this covered as well. Like part 3, DMC4 will have its event scenes directed by movie director Yuji Shimomura. The story volume will be greater than that of the previous games, Itsuno noted to the magazine.
Itsuno also shared some details on how the game is tapping the power of the PS3. The visuals attempt to deliver a satisfying feel of being in the air. Nero's right arm actions are, according to Itsuno, something that could not be done on current machines.
Closing off the Famitsu feature, producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi commented on Capcom's Devil May Cry 4 showing at the Tokyo Game Show. Players will be able to sample the game as Nero. In addition, Capcom will hold a Devil May Cry stage event which will include a surprise announcement.

THey've also said that the 'situation changes' as you play the game, when taking about the lead characters, so maybe you switch between them.
In anycase I'm probably more interested in playing as Vergil, but If Dante is more Devil May Cry 1/2 ish then 3 I might change my mind. I'm not talking combat mechanics wise, but aside from Devil May Cry 3, Dante was actually fairly subdued most of the time. I sort of prefered that compared to how outragous he was in 3, though I'd ideally prefer something in between.

Dante was unbearable in Devil May Cry 3. He was best in the first Devil May Cry, until about two-thirds into the game he starts crying about Mama and Trish. And he was way too unnecessarily reserved in Devil May Cry 2. And the whole Two-Face coin flipping thing was garbage. But he pulled a few really sweet moves (particularly the one on the final boss) so he wasn't that bad. I really hoped we would get a much better Dante, similar from the first one in Devil May Cry 4 but damn it.
Oh and I don't hate Vergil. He is pretty cool but like in Devil May Cry 3, it seemed he works best as a supporting character instead of the main one.

Well, Dante was much younger in DMC3, what was he like 17? But yeah, Vergil and Dante both kick ass.

"the series chronology is 3, 1, 4, 2"
sounds to me like Capcom is trying to distance Dante from the "Dante" we saw in DVC 2...i bet 4 will end with something to the extent of Nero being "Dante" from 2 so that we can act like 2 doesn't exist because it was so poorly made...
