Well DMC5 and Cyberpunk 2077 generated the most pages after revals. No wonder in that. they were the most impactful ones shown yet.

After a good nights sleep, I think i'm coming around to the design. Hopefully with mods I can get old Nero back.

I love this more realistic version of Nero, he looks awesome. Not sure what is that people are hating so much about him...

DmC was a story reboot, but barelly deviated from the gameplay roots.

God of War didn't reboot the story, but it completely changed the gameplay.

Change for the sake of change is dumb. DMC5 is seemingly fixing the only thing that needed fixing (i.e. the free camera) while keeping and evolving the top-class action gameplay.

So is Dante's bike supposed to be a new Pandora form? It doesn't look like his DMC2 bike.

When I watched the trailer this morning, I was like "Is this DmC 2". I was disappointed by the look of it.
I just rewatched the trailer, I'm sold. One year to wait now

Going frame by frame, I just found out the enemies at 01:28 are those hell prides from dmc3, you see the same old cloak and scythe, only they bleed blood instead of sand this time. Also later in the same fight, you can see Nero carrying the different devil breakers on his person. When Nero is activating that timestop power, you can see this particular devil breaker turn into a clockwork ah, clock with pulsing energy.

Guessing Nero will be rocking a full body armor suit by the end thanks to Nico.

Imagine if he got something like the Guyver unit.

At least people are mostly positive about DMC5. Can't say the same about Cyberpunk or Sekiro...

On Sekiro? Really?

Thought people would be all over it, looks awesome.

God of War didn't reboot the story, but it completely changed the gameplay.
It's been 10 years since we had an entirely new DMC game with gameplay that reached the series' high standards. Since then we got an extremely polarizing failed reboot with inferior gameplay and an unneeded style change, and an expanded version of DMC4 that digs only a little deeper into its combat system's vast potential.

DMC4 is the best selling game in the franchise's history. For a solid decade the series maintained a passionate fan following and stayed in the conversation even as PlatinumGames was dropping the likes of Metal Gear Rising and Bayonetta 2.

And yet, you're calling for a reboot to a genre defining (hell, genre inventing) series that still plays like a dream and practically begs for a modern version.

What?

Who the fuck designed Dante and Nero. They look terrible. Nero looks like that kid from Scalebound and Dante... what have they done to you!?

Another thing, that symbol on Vergil's arm when he's grabbing Nero's devil bringer, it's the symbol from dmc4's Order of the Sword.

Excited for this and I'm sure there have already been plenty of people in this thread saying this, but that one guy looks soo much like Cody Rhodes, it's crazy.

But Dante somehow looks like has become crazy as fuck... Most likely has been through some shit.

Further more than logo is interesting... With the wings shaped as V. Devil Trigger hint for Nero? This time with his own powers instead of Vergil/Yamato

Yeah he is definitely very scary like a sociopath somehow even creepier than the undead Vergil. I suspect he went through much torture somehow that may be chnaged him.
Dante... what have they done to you!?
Dante looks scary as shit

I think all of this is probably just due to the kind of uncanny facial animation - it's detailed, but looks kind of off - the 'Faceapp' comparison is apt at times. I couldn't get this comparison out of my head with the last shot:

I think people will be much more positive about Dante when we can see the model in gameplay, or with a more neutral expression.

Dante looks like David Beckham now if he had a stupid ass haircut (par for course for Dante)

I dunno how people calling him ugly lol, if he had shorter hair he'd look a lot better though, but the geeks would riot. old man dante with that same style though just comes across as an out of his prime rockstar.

Neutral expression Danta Claus will soothe people's souls. Believe. Nico aside, even Nero's smile looks a bit odd.

Maybe the shot in the trailer is Dante literally just coming back from whatever hell he's been through when gone missing. Would explain why he's scruffy, unkempt and gassed to be back. Then he gets all cleaned up and uncle Dante's storyline begins baby

True. He is detailed there is no doubt in that but detailed doesn't mean close to real or normal behaving and natural. Like you said the Uncaney valley effect is just affecting him. they shouldn't have gone for too much realism for a sereis known to be more manga like stylised. This was kinda a gamble.
This reminds me of the creepy realistic looking Omen Trailer of FFXV (not made by S-E) which made all characters so detailed with human details like skin pores and other features but the overall design and animations didn't match up what what real humans look like and behave.

Neutral expression Danta Claus will soothe people's souls. Believe. Nico aside, even Nero's smile looks a bit odd.

Yeah. Read above.

Lots of negative pre-judgement on mechanics and story based on one trailer in here. We don't even know who the third character is or what role Vergil plays and people are already complaining. At least have cautious pessimism instead of all out doubt.

Watched the trailer again a couple of times after a good night's sleep.

So good, it's like a dream come true. Can't wait for the sweet, sweet gameplay too.
