If there’s a single thing Devil May Cry reboot detractors criticize more than anything, it’s Dante’s controversial character changes. The initial uproar was caused over the redesign in appearance, but since then the single most community abhorred aspect of Dante has easily been his “trying too hard to be cool” personality.
Edge interviewed Ninja Theory’s technical art director, Stuart Adcock, along with their concept artist Alessandro Taini, and rather bluntly asked whether Dante is a dickhead, to which Alessandro responded:

If it's because of his past why was the other Dante not like that, Nathan Drake had been through at lot in his childhood and he's not a dick, same goes for Bruce Wayne in Batman or Marcus Fenix in Gears of War. I could go on...
If the reboot were to be the same as the last Dante then it would defeat the purpose of a reboot.
EX: the legend of spyro, the new mortal kombat
Well the point of the reboot is to use an already existing characters and make alterations. The thing that the reboot should maintain is the characters, and what they are, meaning if they are demons, trolls, or a superhero.
The perfect example of a good reboot would be the DC Comics superheros. The original Flash got his powers from dry ice with a costume that looked like it was made from the kitchen and no personal conflicts. The reboot had Flash in a police crime Lab when lightning struck him and the chemicals giving him his powers, and the creators gave him a personality with a one piece costume. The older superheros were perfect the reboot gave them imperfections, basically it changed for the times as science become more popular. They even brought drugs to their comics, racism (x-men brings this up a lot from Marvel), death, and everything in between.
Clearly Tameem was bullied and possiy absurd as a child which is why he behaves the way he does. Inferiority complex through and through and this is going by his own principles.
For those of faith, pray good and hard this game fails do Shitcom and Ass Theory can both learn a valuable lesson from this.
For those of no faith, do whatever you guys do to ensure the same.
P.S.- the demo was fun. Not bad. Definitely not Devil May Cry, but that isn't a complaint, nor a word of praise. Games change. People complain when they do; when they don't fit what THEY want. Some games don't change (CoD). People complain when they don't and even more complain and hate when they DO. So just relax guys, if you don't like it, it's fine. But don't stifle the people who WANT to enjoy it.
None of that's going to mean crap if it does manage to sell better than DMC4, but I really don't think NT's first reply of "fans are stupid" is going to help.
Same thing for this guy, only he's a typical western archetype.
Though what really gets me in the 1%/class warfare theme the game has while its being made by a company which exemplifies class warfare on its own employees. Has as much respect for them as fans.
Personally, I think it's a cool twist. The story could turn out a lot better than what we think, but it could go both ways. And I feel ashamed admitting it, especially with some thick ol nostalgia goggles, but the presentation and storytelling in the trailers for the new game alone are already better than what I've seen in the past 4 games.
And, @psychonaughty thank you! I appreciate that. I was expecting an even worse Agree:Disagree ratio, but I'm happy to hear someone took my comment for what it was.
Maybe, NT just does not know what Cool is.
I'll accept it for what it is and find fun in NT story telling abilities.
Demo played fun too.
No matter what way you look at it the DmC reboot is a step backwards for the franchise, honestly it's only garnered this much attention because of fan outcry and the outrageous lies coming from Capcom, NT and the so called "Reviewers".
While I myself have lost faith and do not approve of the direction the franchise is heading in as a whole I'm not going to ridicule this title anymore and point out what I believe is faults (it's grown tiring).
So if you can enjoy the game for what it is more power to you.
However you can't force the people who hate this game to suddenly turn around and like this game as if your trying to prove that this title is superior (or as if it has something to prove) and talk $hit about the previous titles all you can do is just leave it be.
All I'm saying is, have some respect for the people who don't approve of this game instead of trying to call them out for their own beliefs.
Comments like the one from TemplarDante below are what I am talking about, that is a loser if I ever saw one and there's many more like him sadly.
I don't blame those who hate Dante for doing this, rather it's a very useful way to gauge how universally hated he is.
Just like Enslaved..
You know NT, for your arrogance, you hate of the dmc fanbase, you deserve this game to fail.
Personally, I hope it puts you out of business!
