i prefer to think of it as a reboot. but it could very well just be taking place before dmc3.

personally i have yet to see a trailer/game clip of this that i DON'T like. it's stylish in the way i like.

let's be honest, 1 and 3 were the good ones. and if you keep a series doing the same thing over and over, eventually it'll get old. the only dante that really seemed to exhibit character depth was dmc3 dante to me, so i like where they're going with this.
