I don't really know how I feel about this, but I guess its something people would want to discuss...

Can this new guy become anywhere near as iconic as Dante? God, I hope so. It will probably help that he's pretty much his triplet. :p

So let me get this straight, the developers wanted a new character for DMC4 because they think that Dante has done everything he could possibly achieve in the series. So then why make this Nero guy look exactly like Dante. Is it just for the money? Since Dante is such a recognized character. It's like they want a new character for the series but are to cheap to make an original design.

Who cares.


Edit: (to make this post less spammy)
Well, Dante has been stabbed X amount of times and not died. I'm guessing the geniuses behind the series only could think that far and their brains exploded. Who wants to bet the new guy gets impaled AND shot in the first 10 seconds of the game? The makers of DMC are just that original.

The greater question is why is this NERO replacement not a big breasted chick with a bigger sword and a worser additude :greenie:

^ makes a very good point. I'd play the series, then. Maybe they can make it a DMC game with La Blue Girl/Overfiend-style monsters. I'd REALLy play then. I'd be waiting outside GameStop for it to come on the shelves.

I'm a little surprised at the hate for Dante here...where's this huge fanbase he's supposed to have and why aren't they bothered? Whatever, just thought I'd share. :3

How can you possibly have liked Dante in the second DMC? He barely talked and plus the game itself made the series go down hill.

I never got into DMC, but I've always liked the name. And Dante has always looked bad-ass.

Triplets are cool xD

in my eyes it was the best one :]... apart from DMC3.... storyline wise...

and well, Dante was Badass without throwing in any "thrown in" comments (sometimes it ruined it for me in DMC three where Dante would turn all disgaea 2 and though not quite adding in stuff like "Napoleon Bonerhard" at the end of a sentance, but stuff that just doesnt flow that naturally in with the dialouge, okay, you get my point, I am ending this bracket now...).

So I finally got my new Game Informer with Nero on the cover. You know up to this point the game really didn't tickle my fancy, but after looking at the new screenshots and reading the GI article, it's starting to sound really good. Plus I didn't know that it's from the producer of Resident Evil 4 and the original DMC.(kind of missed it in the above article.)

I really did like Dante and its a shame he wont be the lead character once again. But why go and just copy the character design? Thats lazy. But it could be worse, could be a Lucia spin off. I really hated her.

I played this game a bit today. Nero feels a lot like Dante does/did.

Apparently Dante is seen as an enemy. Nero is part of some organization and Dante is out killing his friends. The arm thing is pretty cool. The game is pretty too.

Pfft! Tails SO wasn't a Raiden!

Anywayz, I was almost glad when I heard this. But when I was reading about DMC4 earlier, I thought the picture presented was of Dante. I only recently realized it was this guy. o_O

I wonder if The new hero will have some sorta throwing knife dealy, that was fun.
