DmC: Devil May Cry

[DarthSkywalker]

Certainly. But this isn't the case here. Dante remained that same confident devil hunter from before, although more collected. Specially in DMC4, he seemed more wise in his actions, whereas in DMC3 he didn't really care. He was reckless by the beginning, but we watched the development of his character as the game progressed. In DMC1, we see him some years after his brother's fall, where Dante, even though he doesn't make a joke out of everything anymore, still has that wiseass personality.

That's maturing. If, in DMC1, he had Vergil's personality, for example, then we could say he was changed to a different character. But it wasn't the case.

PS - To Zenith: I'm not saying DMC's Dante and classic Dante are the same characters, just to make things clear.

He has a completely different mindset. I notice you just skipped that part, but that is the truth.

nah I just said my peace on this. I 'm seeing this as Virgil's story after the events/ prequel of DMC3. it's the only way I think most others will get past this. V wanted revenge of sorts on the demon world and tried to take it over . it's cool to see if it would turn out like this. (I 'm wishing for too much here) But I know if it went down like what I'm saying there wouldn't be arguments about this franchise.

The game could end up very good, but it is not a Devil May Cry game.

@jick when I made that post it wasn't specifically aimed at you or any one here. I was generally speaking. but about the argument that was being discussed about DMC 3 and Dante's personality compared to the other game I still. ether way the thing I find cannon for DMC was in DMC1 - 4 in he's personality and what was shown in the actual anime that show that personality as well. and showed/ more hints to his past as child as well. while I enjoyed 3, I see what darth saying . but they did say that was one of his beginnings and he was a bit immature(annoying to most ) back then. any darth already explained that part. but that's how some people portray heroes in stories when their younger.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

While I do find DMC3 Dante annoying, it isn't simply because he is immature. It is because his personality, demeanor and mind set are so different.

 

[zenith16]

that was some what other peoples issue too. I just didn't mention it. but hey some people are different from when they were younger in real life. so the same can be said of him as a character too. ok I have to go I'll be back later and if there's any new news on this I'll put it up. well that's if any one esle hasn't yet.

zenith understood what seems so hard for you to grasp. Dante was Dante.
I didn't act exactly the same way I do today when I was younger either. I grew up. It's what people do.

 

[X Knight]

this is supposed to be a prequel right??

so wouldn't it make sense for younger Dante to behave differently than the Dante we're used to?

 

[Jick]

But it's not a prequel. It's their own separate universe.
Kinda like Marvel 616 and Marvel Ultimate.

There is a huge difference between acting like a child of America of the 80s/early 90s and a Japanese teen of the 00s. They got rid of a lot of his Western traits.

oh.

well, in that case, it wouldn't be so far fetched for the DMC Dante to behave differently than the "classic" Dante.

Nops. He was, initially. Smoking and all gothic. Emo.
Apparently, everyone hated that, so they changed. He looks healthy and wiseass, now.

wait......smoking gothic/Emo Dante is out??

 

[Jick]

Yep. He was smoking cigarettes only in the first trailer. Take a look at the last trailer, posted in the previous page. He looks and acts much better, now.

Thankfully, because I didn't like what we initially had.

ok, I'll check out the latest trailer.

I haven't been following this for awhile.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Nice new trailer from E3:

Thats a cool trailer. Ready for this game. Sucks we gotta wait so damn long.

 

[Benstamania]

Ok Capcom, the Gameplay has won me over.

When Dante punched that dude in the face then signed his name to the guest list, i was sold.

It was funny, but I don't know why Dante still looks like he doesn't know what a bath is.

Also apparently the coolest thing in the world now is to cuss up a storm.

Dante in DMC1 and 4 to Dante in DMC 3.

Also don't you think it is funny having faith in a group that thought that take on Dante was right in the first place?:

There's an younger Dante and a older Dante. He has matured. That's what time does to someone. It's two different periods of his life. I don't want to keep repeating that.

How old are you? 20? 25? 30? Have you never changed through your lifetime?
That's isn't hard to understand.

Also don't you think it is funny having faith in a group that thought that take on Dante was right in the first place?:

Why would it?
I also have faith in, for example, Nolan's Batman. It doesn't mean, if I was a director who got to do the movie, that I wouldn't take my own vision to the franchise and make it different or just similar.

Are you intentionally missing the point? When you grow, change, you are crafted by your surroundings and those you surround yourself with. It is why I scowl like my father, share my mother's taste in 50s music and quote Star Wars and Scorsese films all the time.

Dante in DMC 1 and 4 shows traits and mannerism that belong to 80s and 90s American action films, mixed with a medieval knight. How he grew up bleed threw, especially when you look at how his brother acts in a similar manner, somewhat unconsciously.

In DMC 3 he acts like the wet dream of a late 90s early 00s Japanese style character. Vergil is suddenly a cranky samurai.

It would be like watching James Bond as a child and he is suddenly an American jock. The transition doesn't make sense.

 

[Roose Bolton]

That's way more thought than I would have ever given to a DMC game.
Regardless I like DMC3 for what it was, and the actual story works for me.

I should ask you the same thing. That's just what I've been saying to you. For some reason, you think Dante is different from you. People grow and change.

Yet, if they say it is the same character, then it is. The same way that Rachel, in TDK, was the same character, besides her slight change in personality and another actress playing the part.

If it is played in the same continuity, in the same universe, in the same story, and they tell us that their character is the same, then it is. It's their freaking story, they have the final say. Dante could have acted like 60's child for all I care. It's the same Dante until they tell us otherwise.
Have you never seen, for example, people act like hippies nowadays? That's also a thing from past decades. They probably weren't born this way. They changed along the way and decided to act like that.

Also, Vergil was being controlled by Mundus in DMC1, forced at his will. His true personality was only showed in DMC3. There was no sudden change, because that was the first time his character was truly displayed.

 

[Samwise Gamgee]

Ok, I have never played any DMC games. I became interested in his character, and that of Trish and Vergil, from Ultimate Marvel v. Capco m 3. So my question...is this a reboot? Can I jump onto the games now and understand what's happening or do I need to have played all the originals? Why does he now look like a goth emo kid rather than the rocker from other games?

(By the way, I have the same issue w/ Resident Evil...now interested in the games but have never played any of the others. Not sure if I can jump on so will probably decide to not risk my money and spend my money then elsewhere.)

Yeah. It's a separate universe. This is the first of a new take, so you can play this without knowing about the others since the story is starting over.

However, if you're going to play the old games, you should start with DMC3, since it's the first in the chronological order. Then DMC1, then DMC4. I know, it can be confusing.

And he's not sporting the ''goth emo kid'' visual anymore. They corrected that. Take a look at the last trailers.

 

[Drz]

I like the idea of Dante being part of this Human Organization againts Demons.
