Do You Like Dante's New Look?
Fans of Capcom's Devil May Cry series got two big surprises yesterday. The first one came when the company revealed that the next Devil May Cry is being developed by Ninja Theory. The second one hit as soon as the design for Dante was unveiled.
In case you haven't already, you should watch the trailer that shows this new interpretation of Dante in action. He's younger than we've ever seen him – even younger than his DMC 3 incarnation.
To describe fan reaction to Dante's new look as "mixed" would be polite: Most people seem to hate it. His hair isn't white, he smokes, and he looks a little bit like one of those emaciated Twilight vampires. So, the topic of this Reader Discussion is: Does it really matter?
Assuming that Ninja Theory can nail the combat, how much do you care what he looks like? Would this even be a problem if his name weren't Dante?
