Devil May Cry Rebirth Rant

[@dmc34]

ah... it's so good seeing this now after all that's happened. DMC5 and the real Dante is finally back. cheers.

[@shawnfields2757]

dmc34 I agree dude. I think that this "reboot" is supposed to be an alternate timeline type thing now. Even if it was, I didn't hate the game that much once I played it. The gameplay was fluid, and felt very responsive and fun, and I loved the references to past Devil May Cry games like, "Let's Rock!", "Alright! This Is My Kind Of Rain!" But, this emo-looking dude calling himself Dante is a HUGE no-go. He's too whiny and takes himself WAY too seriously, and doesn't take enough time to just relax and have fun, I mean, if "Dante" isn't having fun, how are we, the players supposed to have fun, right? I do hope this is just a Trunks-style alternate time. I mean, it's NOT as bad of a game as people say, I'm a hardcore Devil May Cry fan, and I can admit, I felt whiny when I first saw emo Dante. But when I played it, i enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Didn't even mind the white hair wig joke at the beginning much either. Mainly because it's one of the unlockable costumes. But I loved the trophy/achievement names, making past references to past Devil May Cry games. Made me want to get them. This wasn't a BAD game, just a bad Devil May game, that's all. And to any detractors of the game, maybe give it a chance, before you completely say it sucks? Or just skip straight to Devil May Cry 5... I hear that one is AMAZING, and they bring back Nero, one of MY favorite Devil May Cry characters. And, the graphics look awesome too. Wow, seems like capcom have redeemed themselves. About time... seems like in 2019, almost ANYTHING can happen. We got the new Kingdom Hearts game, the new Devil May Cry, a Resident Evil 2 remake, I mean, it's been amazing so far this year. I hope we can keep it up dude. Have a great day/night, and remember to stay beautiful.

[@jasoncaywood3072]

I hate what they did to vergil

[@G4kan260]

Now that DMC 5 is coming and Ninja Theory joined Microsoft DmC is officially dead, can't wait till Cleanprincegameing makes a video called DmC: Devil may Cry didn't just die it was murdered.

[@lindseyreese1354]

As soon as the white wig fell on his hair, completely out of now where in its "limbo world" and "dante" said not in a million years, i took the game back to gamestop quicker than the real Dante gets shot down by Lady.

[@RipperJack30141]

Best thing ever, "Oh, a new Devil May Cry. I have to see this." and then youtube locks up on my *error occurred please try again later* omg, so fucking perfect!

[@brandontachiera2504]

The Devs from Devil May Cry 2 Developed Devil may Cry 3: Dante's Awakening. They DID fuck up with DMC 2,though 3 was bad ass.

[@TheXxshangrilaxX]

never seen this intro ahah XD just watching you old videos. and love the segments wish you would do that now ahah

[@UltimateGamerCC]

if you play the game to the end you'll see him look like how he's supposed to, turns out Dante's Devil Powers havent awakened quite yet, by the end of the game he has his trademark white hair and everything. surprisingly it was really good, and like everybody else i didnt like how Dante looked at first either, in fact i joined my cousin in simultaneous fanboy rage lol

[@LiveForFuntasy]

Due to the MASSIVE amounts of complaints about DmC, I am certain that something will be changed about the game. It did prompt Capcom to clarify that DmC is a re-imagining and won't affect the plot elements of the other games. It appears that the lead developer at Ninja Theory modeled the new Dante after himself. Also, since they're a British company, they decided his costume needed a Union Jack on the sleeve. Just how egotistical are these people?

[@TheMushyRoms]

I agree 100%. You stated every point that the audience is ranting about. Good job. Viva la old Dante

[@CaptainFalconOnAPogo]

I never really raged at a videogame before, when when I saw the DmC trailer for the first time, I was almost on the verge of shaking my monitor because I was so mad.

[@MasterChris666]

i did lol when i started youtube

[@ombolski]

8:44 "you can't see me behind my hair" lmao

[@friartwig]

only good thing in the game was the whip sword things...kinda went back to Nero's arm...which was fun. Everything else was broken or garbage.

[@alanisstrife345]

To be honest, this game was like a badly written "Alternate Universe" fanfiction to me.

[@elvisflorian]

Heavenly sword was okay not bad.

[@karilsfrost]

they made an HD collection for the original devil may cry's as a way of saying, 'sorry...we'll correct our wrongs and continue with the original series.'

[@zhoupact8567]

Again, they culd just have changed the name. GIVE IT A NEW NAME. Just like Bayonetta it isnt devil may cry. They culd have given it the name DMC-Nephilim Must Cry. And everything would be ok... Well changing the ingame names, and taking away the parts that piss on the fans. DMC-DMC isnt a bad game on its own. To be honest its rather good... It just isnt a good DMC game.

[@kennycolliver]

3 years later what did you think?

[@austinlockaby6888]

I have seen where they posted it as dante is younger and as he ages his hair turns whiter

[@KBMadhouse]

@fighterwolfneon I'm only gonna finally judge him when I hear him speak more than one sentence, I haven't heard him yet except for saying "My name is Dante" :(

[@gameshock2916]

This is 11 years later, but I own Devil May Cry 4, DMC HD Collection and DMC : Devil May Cry on Xbox 360. I can see why people hate this reboot before they debooted back. However, here's a crazy compromise for a fan. Make two separate timelines. Have DMC 1 to DMC 5 onwards be the primary timeline and have DMC : Devil May Cry and its potential sequels that are right now being currently developed as the secondary timeline. If they did that after DMC : Devil May Cry released, and I was the only fan who was excited about it, we could have each DMC entry trade off between original and reboot timelines for game releases. That way both fans are happy.

[@2244P]

Hold on, what makes you sure that the new Dante will remain looking like that forever? New Dante will change by the end of the game but we don't know what kind of change.

[@anim242]

you know what's really bad. ninja theory actually tried to keep the original look as close as possible and capcom said no way they need to change him more and so now that's how we have this new look for dante bc capcom said they didn't want the original look.

[@NightFox707]

I wish that they would have gone with the idea that a friend said was the canceled version, where Virgil returns through Nero starting from his arm

[@NYGiantsfan1029]

When I first saw the new Dante in Game Informer I honestly asked why there was a Clown in the picture. Then I saw it was dante.

[@MyStrangeVids]

Some people think no white hair is no big deal. But they created a character that has become an iconic character in a short amount of time and then they change it. Its like changing MARIOS overalls into skinny jeans and tank top. You just dont do it.

[@forcebrand4678]

Yeah his hair turn white, but his hair color is not the problem. He his. As a whole.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

@futuremissionarie Well that's what i gathered for female leads in just my own game collection. Considering that you are very adamant about female lead characters it's apparent you outta play some more games obviously cause all the ones I mentioned have female leads. This doesn't include tons of fighting games, and female characters that become option throughout gameplay or are strong main supporting cast.

[@Set-0023]

never said they were wrong and never said i was right.

[@caiusthedeathwolf1380]

my older brother has the game and his hair will start changing white so don't worry it is the time before dmc 3 weird i'll by it for now. it is when dante and vergil were not trying to kill each other and were more brotherly.

[@DemigodSalt]

Was curious to see what your take on it was. I've played and beaten it, now I plan on doing that again to share my experience of the DMC series with KZbin and Twitch. Currently making my way through 3 and having a fucking BLAST playing it.

[@GnosisZX]

also capcom said dante ages like a human despite his demon blood is not that watered down unlike nero

[@BlueRise85]

the game isn't even out yet, don't judge it yet.

[@donopatay]

You did read the "add/modify" part in my answer did you? In regards with "Man of Steel". What were the iconic/core elements in the Superman story? For starters, Superman himself, that he wears a costume with a cape and a big S written on its chest, that he posses abilities no normal human has, that he feels that he needs to protect them and so on and so forth. They even modified it so that it has a more serious tone than the previous. So with this you just further solidified my answer.

[@killablue]

well i don't mind the new look of Dante because the emo Dante is from a parallel universe so they don't need to look the same. i just imagine some how the two Dante meet each other because the Earth combined with the parallel world

[@LordKamina2]

I'm surprised that you haven't made a video about all the new information released from captivate

[@dgd151]

@AlphaOmegaSin Just consider this, Ninja Theory has only released three games in their history "Kung Fu Chaos", "Heavenly Sword", and "Enslaved Odyssey to the West" all of which were released with only minor success, and Capcom hands them the keys to the multi-million dollar franchise that is Devil May Cry, I don't know if its just me but the only way I could possibly describe Capcom's decision to do this is Completely and utterly insane

[@YaoiHuntressEarth]

The sad thing with his new look is that one of the people in charge purposely made Dante look like him.

[@MandalorYaj117]

Doing Trillion Stabs a lot of times can make you go to SSS anytime.

[@Devil-Joe]

We have WON hopefully the series goes back to its roots and lets hope Dante comes back.

[@johnyugi]

dante meet megaman just an idea of how old he can get

[@GnosisZX]

Not only is the look bad dantes story was changed yes he is half demon half angel

[@MasterChris666]

Obviously Tameem thinks Nero is not cool any more and than he kicks him out of sight but he cant kick Dante out, so he changes Dante’s appearance to look like himself.

[@emeraldo]

I swear to god when this game releases there will be day1 "DLC" costume pack, hair pack, etc. ON DISC!

[@XIIIMugenSoulXIII]

That's Dante as a teen. So maybe that was a phase he went through in his life

[@ballzofSteel02]

Dante looks like that singer from my chemcial romance and I can't believe I made that refers

[@JapaneseJoe101]

Makes me wonder if this game doesn't sell, what direction is Capcom going to go in? Will they completely ignore this version and pretend it doesn't happen, or since it takes place in a parallel universe, will we see Real Dante vs. Emo Dante?

[@MunkyDrag0n]

I am very surprised there wasn't a riot at the convention...

[@ErnestoJSalazar]

its not a reboot, its a precule......maybe he switches back to white hair

[@coreypearson4]

@AlphaOmegaSin Dude when you asked the question at 3:49 "THAT WENT WELL DIDNT IT?" I literally screamed at the screen "hell fucking noooooo!!!!" and laughed because icould totally relate

[@TyeTaylor]

Mabey this is gonna show more of Dantes past and theres a thery that virgel is in neros arm just look it up to long to explain but mabey after this game there gonna be one big epic game they this one and the 4th one set up and its gonna have nero and virgil and the original dante because hell be older and not lool emo and its gonna kick ass....but probably not

[@zhaoyun255]

If you EVER played the Demo, Alpha. I don't know if you will drop INFINITE F-Bomb or not.

[@wcamicase_gaming]

Half Demon? Now he also is Half Angel, i mean WTF?!

[@LordKamina2]

oh there's one thing that will be even worse he's half angel half demon

[@marthedge]

ironically, one of the people who was interviewed was talking about the concepts, and it turns out New Dante looks like him... I find it absolutely hilarious that he's practically self-inserting himself.

[@Smithkakarot]

BTW, Mario WAS a pilot in Super Mario Land. :-/

[@RatedRY]

Feel free to doubt if you've had enough.

[@rjjames19]

I think something happened that turned dantes hair white. I dont know but im just assuming.

[@SuperDragonlord93]

1. In DMC4 you can play as dante but only for missions 15 - 19 IIRC. 2. They could have still kept the devilishly stylish, Smart-ass, sarcastic, guy that everyone who has played the original 3 games (or ever watched the anime) know and love in the reboot ( even though this franchise never even needed one to begin with).

[@Aelvir114]

I swear Dante looks like a pale zombo-Cody Rhodes. Thank God ProjectXZone has the better Dante. Srsly Capcom you know u fuck up royally when even the dmc creator misses old dante

[@followthereaper665]

I thought he looked like Cody rhoads to lol. Rip Dusty

[@Aelvir114]

Yeah. I heard that too ' T^t

[@followthereaper665]

What if it was still the attitude era? Would the artist formely known as Goldust be Dantedust? lmao. been watching it on wwe network

[@SaiyanFantasyX]

The worst thing is... He's actually half human half fucking ANGEL...

[@s8ntmark]

This won't change your opinion of how Dante looks, but official word is that this isn't a reboot, its Chapter Zero essentially.

[@infernozomochi]

its not dante anymore its that guy from twilight

[@Razealuxe]

nope. you can't just drastically change the look's of a iconic video character.

[@killerstar1000]

you guys know what i think the new dante looks good and i cant wait to play this game lets try something new

[@Set-0023]

the gameplay looks fun as hell. what difference does his appearance make.

[@jseeker1867]

@1989gamemaster Well, the only way they can possibly revover just a tiny bit is green-lighting the localization for Phoenix Wright vs. Professor Layton.

[@Lepphor]

his hair isnt long but it does turn white. It might be slightly longer but same basic haircut.

[@Bowzer1366]

The reboot was all Capcom. Ninja Theory came up with designs similar to the old Dante, and Capcom said "If we wanted DMC 5, we would have done it ourselves." Capcom pushed Ninja Theory to chance Dante. So we really can't blame Ninja Theory for the change in Dante. I just saw the demo and I am happy with the gameplay. I hope the game turns out good.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

@capcomfan2010 Yeah he pretty much said he did not like the direction it was going in. Funny thing is that ninja Theory even had the balls to talk shit on Bayonetta which is from the original Devil May Cry team.

[@funyun221]

i dont really know how heavenly sword was as far as gameplay went...made a pretty interesting movie but i do agree with what you say

[@GintaxAlvissforever]

@yoshi314 You know the series could focus on what Sparta did before he met his wife or focus on Nero and possibly confirm or disprove the theory of Nero and Vergil being related to one another. There's plenty to do with them. There is no need for a reboot.

[@SeraphXion1]

Man you're fully right in your entire video, Devil May Cry 5... if I ever find the guy who's behind this game, I'm going to break his knee caps.

[@2244P]

Possible reasons for the reboot: DMC 4 sales didn't do well and several fans had commented the DMC series is getting stale. If you're really that disappointed on how Ninja Theory is handling DMC, consider the series dead.

[@Trid3nt861]

the Dante in DMC5 is Tameem of Team Ninja and a bit of Prince thrown in.

[@FromBeyondTheGrave1]

>_> DMC3 had the youngest Dante to date, and he didn't curse.

[@Creepynazgul]

also why did they make him half Angel aswell as half demon?

[@hunterofcomedy]

Have you played the new game? I grew up with DMC and I welcomed the change. Making the story darker and grittier has vastly improved the series. Ninja Theory's games have had a better story than most other games in the past few years. Aside from DMC 3, none of the DMC games had a great storyline, they were just an excuse to kill demons. Sure, DMC 3 is still the best in the entire series but I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next in THIS series. Above all, it was fun to play, loved it.

[@DarkRising12]

epic video bro! also I like your views on the new installment

[@RoadrunnerMoose]

now that we know more, and the game comes out next week, how does opinion stand now?

[@fighterwolfneon]

Grant I don't like Dante's new look either, but the game is now looking very promising. Though since people are probably never going to stop with Dante's design, I have a feeling they'll go back to the original design, but maybe this can wind up starting some kind of DMC side series.

[@mcFreaki]

precisely. i would love to see a game revolving around sparda.

[@gottaloveanime]

Good video! But did you guys hear that he's not even part human anymore? he's half demon half angel...

[@yoshi314]

@GintaxAlvissforever good idea. the problem is - not much Dante in the game. fans might hate that. also, in dmc4 Dante gave the impression of seasoned demon slaying veteran, which mastered his skills (could work on his social skills ;) ) . that spells trouble for any sequels involving him - he would have to play the mentor role all the time, like he did in dmc4. additional prequel with vergil is probably what would be highly welcome.

[@IsThisDustin]

Maybe if enough people complain about how he looks, they will change him back like Sucker Punch did with Cole from Infamous 2.

[@TheStonemanHunter]

I can imagine what capcom is going to do on the day of this game's release: White Haired Dante costume pack only 1600 Microsoft points! Rebellion weapon pack only 800 Microsoft points! DMC true ending story pack only 1600 Microsoft points!

[@DemonSlayer648]

@AlphaOmegaSin You forgot Viewtiful Joe have you seen the new guy creating it. the guy behind it made dante look like him and gave dante the british flag on his arm. as for Nero they could have slowly set up for him getting taken over by Vergil and the war between hell and earth.

[@Harukoon92]

@DanteSwag64 Ninja Theory's "excuse" for this game is that it's set in an "alternate universe" cause they realized how PO'd the true fans were.. the excuse behind this "alternate universe" conundrum was based on a few different game mechanics. Dante's "look" is also based off (exhausted so not 100% sure) the lead game artists physical appearance. Slapping "your" face on an icon and force feeding it down a true fans gullet is not what I'm anywhere near interested.

[@TorriK0_tv]

@AlphaOmegaSin What's porabally? Is that like a secret word used among trolls?

[@ChaosRain786]

meh. Even so he still wasn't a good character despite the fact that they stated and overly shoved down our throats how they think this Dante is better and Vergil turned into a bitch where his own personal story is him pmsing and then ends off with them practically saying they want to make a sequel

[@rianwudkok]

I've noticed though that this video was filmed a while ago. Has your opinion changed at all since then @AlphaOmegaSin ???

[@nhaer042]

You forgot his awesome white hair and wicked red trenchcoat. (I want that trenchcoat btw)

[@Blackemperess]

Didn't he also say that Old Dante was outdated and he wasn't believable? Not Dante is a mother fucking Mary Sue, he has Devil and Angel blood and swears a lot.

[@TheLonewolfful]

dude i said the exact same thing about the emo part the same exact thing and my reaction was like that too when the 1st time i saw the preview i was like umm ok is this a new character then when the character said his name is dante i screamed wtf real loud and everyone in college looked at me like wat happened.

[@enterfireandice]

it's not a reboot....it's before dmc 3 proof for those who don't believe In a recent interview, Capcom unveiled that they knew that there would be negative backlash towards Dante's appearance but pressed forward with this direction in mind. They also explained that the fifth game is not a "reboot", as it was previously believed, but an origin story featuring Dante at a younger age where he is just beginning to accept his unique heritage(with the implication that his black hair is actually dyed)"

[@TehwaffleSupahHero]

[@apartsart]

Yessss thank you for that rant I loved the dmc games expect for number 2, and when I saw this I was like what? This game dose not need a reboot, at all I just cross my fingers and the 5 one would be good but to be honest they just need to return Dante to his normally look.

[@TheSorrow696]

yeah that sucks have u noticed tameen has changed his hairstyle since then.
