You know that I am a big supporter of the new Devil May Cry reboot, DmC, so I wont bother telling you how rad I think this trailer is. Wait, yes I will. The return of Virgil (Dante's brother and fan favorite since his appearance in DMC3) is certainly a big deal for a game that many would try to argue is shunning its roots at every turn. Ninja Theory has always had a real talent for character development and realism so having the opportunity to see them develop characters that I am already familiar with is an exciting prospect.

While I am not entirely sure if this game intends to establish a new timeline or wedge itself into the existing lore, seeing Dante and Virgil working together as a team is definitely a change of pace for the series. Somehow I doubt that partnership will remain intact throughout the game, but it serves as yet another reminder of the mark that Ninja Theory seems poised to make on the series. Combine that with a killer soundtrack (featuring Combichrist, a personal favorite of mine) and some signature Devil May Cry action and I think there is some real potential in this new direction for the series.

DmC is being developed by Ninja Theory and is scheduled for release on January 15, 2013.

    The voice acting shown in this trailer just seems so.......bad. I hope the rest of DmC doesn't have as much bad dialogue as in this trailer.

    Too bad we couldn't get some kind of coop going with virgil/dante. I liked the trailer, however virgil just screams betrayal to me, hopefully it isn't too predictable.

    So I've just finished playing Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, and Virgil really reminds me of LaCroix.

    I still don't know about this game. Ninja Theory is a quality developer, but I'm still not behind this reboot yet. In a way I kinda like the new Virgil as a character, I just don't like that fact that he's supposed to be Virgil. If he was some new character in a Ninja Theory game, I feel like I would like him better.

    Well, at least I'm not really that excited for the game, so now no matter how good or bad the game is, it'll be hard to disappointed.

    To answer your question Nick, ninja theory has stated that DmC will take place in a parallel universe.

    Hmm, I like the brother relationship in this trailer. Hopefully the full game delivers. Though I still can't get over the way Dante looks.

    I was so excited when there was a trailer revealing that Vergil was coming back, but I'll admit that his new look did put me off a little bit. But instantly after the trailer, he grew on me just like the new Dante had as well. I can't wait for this game to come out.

    I'm still totally stoked. I've been a huge fan of the direction Ninja Theory is taken, and this just shows off more of what I'm into.

    EVERY ONE SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! I have played Devil May Cry since the release of the demo on ps2. THE VOICE ACTING HAS ALWAYS BEEN BAD!!!
    Devil may cry 3 hold the most memorable moment from the entire series and that's between Vergil and Dante. Where Dante says AND I QUOTE "We are the sons of sparda. Inside each of us flows his power, but more importantly HIS SOUL! And right now my soul is saying that it wants to STOP YOU D:<" My teeth cringed at that line. Now this trailer doesn't seem that bad. You guys are downing this game before you even give it a FUCKING CHANCE! To all you guys that say you're gonna give it a chance and can't wait for the demo, I raise my glass to you. But to all you originalist ass-wipes who say "Oh he has black hair? Fuck this game. It's terrible" No good sirs. You haven't even played the game so you don't know. So, fuck this game? No. Fuck you. Stop bitching and play the fucking thing before you rate it. Oh and as far as the change in appearance? It's called...A FUCKING REBOOT! SHIT! I need an asprin T_T Fuck Bill Bates
