Well, I read a part of that article and...It is a prequel to DMC1. It has nothing to do with any events, characters or settings as DMC2.

Here is an intresting quote "The game opens with a shocker: Dante is not the only son of the legendary Dark Knight, Sparda. In fact, he has a brother and, just like Dante has a human half and a demon half...Dante's brother is flat out evil."

I havent read everything yet but I like the way this looks. I still havent beaten DMC1 and never played 2, because I heard its terrible.
