I am not terribly worried or sad at the moment. I want to play the game first before I push judgement on all of this.
I was talking with some friends about how Dante had grown terribly stale as a storyline inducing character. He had become a slight "slave" of his own attitude and a bit of a one-trick pony with extremely cliche one-liners. Kinda like a pretty boy "Duke Nukem" version for girls.. if you know what I mean.
While the change to the world might look scary I expect a deeper and more flexible character which reeks of awesome-through-desperation, like the Dante from the literature. Some things are unnaceptable though, like the hair color, the union jack on his jacket, his infamous sword weapon and the lack of CRITICAL characters in the story (havent heard the music, but i take your word as law on that). While we cant change the game itself at this point, if we complain enough some small things might still get tweaked.
Ill be the first to slam the game to oblivion if it goes wrong but I dont mind seeing something fresh in a universe which was a bit too simplistic right now. At any rate anyone who has seen the trailer can see that there are too many changes for this not to be a temporary spinoff...they should have gone slower IMO.
Crossing my fingers that the game will still be as BADASS as always :>
Ps: Also I blame twilight for this current trend of calling any man who isnt 7 feet tall with roid muscles an emo. One would think that a person who has demonic heritage and who travels through hell daily is heavily bruised/scarred regardless of regeneration powers.

OK, this may not mean much seeing I just learned of Dante through MvC3 but, possibily throughout the game, Dante sorta becomes himself again.. idk :l

but I think every dmc fan feels the same way xDDD
