Quote:I meant character as in you know, emotion and stuff - not design work.He was talking about the characters unprompted, actually; not in response to anything you might have said. You're also not actually giving any reasons, whereas my friend did. He backed up his statements, he has talked to me about the game before while playing it, shown me videos and I've seen it in other circumstances, as well; everything he has said has been backed up and I've seen nothing to contradict it.
Basically - I'm just asking for some more substance and reasoning.
I'd hate to be in a pub with you and say "I liked Avengers" - the bar would be shut before you accepted my annotated documentation of why I thought such a thing. Seriously, just like watch a cut-scene or something, it'll give you a good idea of facial expressions and emotion. Sure it won't give you sense of a developing character within the game but well, I can't be arsed to write a whole wall of text with video links and the like.
As a reboot I think this is getting far too much negativity thrown at it. If it was DMC 5 and Dante was redesigned for some reason then yeah, let the shit fly, but this a reboot, big changes like this are generally allowed. And the hair colour change (though let's be honest, you raging internet people you, even if he did have white hair you'd still hate it for some other small reason) isn't even that big a deal compared to the rest of the redesign.
Dante isn't big enough basically. He's not Mario, he's not the TMNT, he's Dante. DMC 4 wasn't amazing, it's DMC WAS awesome, not IS awesome now. He needed a reboot, he got one. It could have died. Hell if Capcom can kill MegaMan why not DMC? They gave Bionic Commando to a company who had never made a 3D game before. At least DMC gets someone decent.
Complaining about Dante's new look is like complaining about the new Lara Croft's non giant breasts. That's not what's important. It's the game that's important. People have every right to be worried about who's at the helm but as for what Dante looks like, if the game is awesome - who gives a smeg?
