New DmC: Devil May Cry Screens, Art And Details

New DmC: Devil May Cry Screens, Art And Details

Things are looking very red

Written by Lexual on 02 March 12 at 15:43

Things have been rather quiet on the DmC: Devil May Cry front since mid-December, but now Capcom has released a new set of screenshots accompanied by artwork of Dante and his weapons: Rebellion and Ebony & Ivory.

DmC Screen 2

DmC Screen 3

DmC Screen 4

DmC Screen 5


A few details of Dante’s backstory for Ninja Theory’s reboot have also been revealed and while I could summarize it, Capcom's own fact sheet explains it in far greater detail:

DmC Art 2

The Dante of DMC Devil May Cry is a young man with no respect for authority or society in general. Dante knows that he is not human, but also that he is not like the demons that have tormented him throughout his life. Caught between worlds, he feels like an outcast.

Dante grew up in various institutions, orphanages, youth correction facilities and foster homes but these were mostly operated by demons and often resulted in torture and violence. Dante has therefore developed a deep hatred of demons and authority in general but tries to stay incognito. He sides with the little guy, the victims of what he sees as an unfair society.
DmC Art 1

DmC Art 3

DmC Art 4

The Rebellion sword was given to Dante by his father Sparda as a weapon with which he could protect him from the demons that hunt him. How Dante came in to possession of Ebony and Ivory or where they come from is unknown.DmC: Devil May Cry currently has no launch window, though we'll be sure to bring any new information to you as soon as we have it. Head here to check out our previous coverage of the title.

I'll probably still get this game but I, and I think everyone does, wonder why they changed Dante.. Such a risky move

I like old Rebellion more. New guns are ok, I think... Still don't like the idea of reboot... I hope at least gameplay would be nice

Despite popular opinion, I think this game will be great! I love everything Ninja Theory does and I love DMC so I'm keeping the faith that this will be awesome!
I aim to misbehave!

Artwork on Dante is disappointing. His face and style are iconic and should not have been altered. However, Rebellion, Ebony and Ivory look awesome! I like the reboot of those, but give me back the real Dante and lose the Bieber.

Funny, if Capcom would make a fifth part with old Dante and same Game-Mechanics as DMC4,
most people would complaint about it with: "Again, the same shit?!"

Those people mostly are those ones who havent played the Game "really", maybe one time through.
Real DMC Fans will also give the new Dante a try and dont complain right now about it.

And i bet there will be a Bonus-Costume/HairColor that allows you to play as old-Dante again! wink

P.S. Justin Bieber sucks (the real one)!!! compute

I'm quite looking forward to this, I've only ever played DMC4 which I really enjoyed. It'll be a nice change of genre for me atm.

Dante was awesome just the way he was but now everyone compares him to Justin Bieber which I don't think is what Capcom wanted or at least I hope not :(

If they were smart they would catch on and listen to the fans ahead of time that don't approve of the new look and give us a skin or some other kind of bonus content to let us play as the original.

I might still play the game but his new look doesn't help which is why I am so thankful for the DMC HD Collection that is coming out clap

The problem with DMC was never with Dante (ok, maybe a little in DMC4) and I liked Nero. So why are they changing him?

Jesus Christ. You're all still bitching? It's been months since this news has been released and you're all saying the same exact things over and over again. Play the game and then give your verdict.

You really should stop judging books by their covers. That's how Dan Brown became a famous author. And we all know what a mistake that was.
