I'm not a fan of the franchise in general; I think it's the general "stylish action" genre. Even RE5, during the Wesker segments, gets on with some of this stuff. Basically, where other people see it as "totally awesome" when people are flipping through the air and firing billions of bullets that curve and doing sweet sword-to-gun-to-sword-to-fist combos, I just think that's lame. I think if you want to go surreal, something similar in tone to God Hand is the way to go, but even then I think I prefer my action... I don't know... grounded. I just get bad flashbacks to the period after The Matrix came out where every action movie had incredibly elaborate bullet time or wire fu sequences and they all just looked like incredibly overproduced messes to me. The voice acting and attempts at plot just make an awkward situation worse for me.
So I guess I'm not sure what I would want from this. To make it a game I'd enjoy they'd have to so thoroughly gut the franchise that it wouldn't resemble any of the earlier games, and judging from the reactions in this thread over a mere character design, I don't think the existing fanbase would take that well.
Edit: Wow, I reallllly didn't want this to be a top-of-the-page post.

SketchTheArtist said:Dante always looked and talked like a dick. I don't see how people are crying over the fact that he went from this:

...to the one we see above. He looks just as smug and as 'emo' (as you kids say) as he was before. Bunch of babies. And you haven't even seen any gameplay yet also. :lol

But his DMC3 look also has a sizable amount of supporters, enough for it to be used in MvC3.SolidSnakex said:Dante's DMC3 model was criticized a lot.
Yup, the other reason being Heavenly Sword and its ABYSMAL combat system.Cartman86 said:Character design is one thing, the majority of people who are dissing this hate it for entirely different reasons.

SOOO true.YuriLowell said:This is setting up for the eventual DMC movie with Robert Pattinson.
this is moar like Twilight Am Cry.
Also why is his neck so fucking long?
Gunloc said:I don't see this new "Dante" getting quite that level of support.
Ushojax said:This looks alright, I think. He looks better here than the in game shots. It's certainly no stupider than previous Dante designs. It's growing on me already.
