Yeah I don't know what to think of this, I've loved devil may cry since I first played it. Aside from DMC 2 which was was kinda boring by comparison to the first it's been an amazing series. So long as the gameplay's still as fun as it's always been I'm not too worried but what's the point of a reboot when a series is doing good? I'm really wondering what's going on at capcom meetings nowadays.
*Capcom building*
Man: Devil may cry, go.
Other man: Work on the combo system to make it more fast paced and fun than ever, also give him cooler weapons.
Man: You're fired.
other man: Oh, make him go from being a completely awesome badass to looking like some emo teenager?
Man: GENIUS! Give that man a raise.

I just don't like the thought that if this reboot does good, even if it's a good game, it'll mean no more of the dante I know and love, or Nero who was just a blast to play as with his devil bringer.
Seems to be common with game remakes/reboots, lately. Radically overhauling a character isn't always a good thing, as the Spyro and Crash series have proved.
Yeah and the biggest problem with those, at least as far as I've been able to figure form the spyro ones, is that they changed the gameplay considerably to the point it was barely even the same style. The original ones seemed more platformer, and the reboots seemed more action/adventure. That's what's got me worried the most. A simple cosmetic change, while annoying, won't turn me off a game so long as it's still fun to play, just worried that they'll take the series in a completely diffrent direction from how it's been.
And I still wanna find out whoever thought it was a good idea to turn Dante into an emo tomboy.
Anyone else notice that Dante 2.0 looks like Vincent Valentine if he took off those red scarfs and got a haircut?
Eh, I don't really have much to add. It would be nice if companies would try making some new IPs rather than rebooting everything, but eh, as long as they make a good game then everything will be alright.
Crimson: And if you want to get real technical, the end of Super Mario Galaxy 1 rebooted the entire Mario series because the universe was basically reset. XD /This is a fucking joke!

XD I loved that movie!
And the new game... oh dear. Can't we have had one that focused on Nero, or even Sparda instead? I'd like to see what they did in the past, where Vergil has been all this time before DMC2 and DMC3, and see just how badass the sire of Dante and Vergil is!
