I so hope Capcom is going to ignore that letter and continue making DmC with this new Dante. I like this new Dante and I'm rather excited to see what else they have coming up for us. I also very much think that people are overreacting about the changes they have made, like making an open letter like that.
People aren't even willing to give it a chance and are being so shallowminded that they are already now saying they won't even buy the game... And why? Because Dante doesn't wear a trenchcoat and have white hair... Sheesh.
Personally, I can't wait to see more about this game. And I am glad we get to play Dante again, in one incarnation or the other, as I'm not the biggest fan of Nero the Dante clone. DMC4 was an alright game though, but I prefer DMC3 over it.
And yes, I liked DMC2 as well. I miss Lucia and hope she will return to the series somehow. It was a nice sequal in my opinion, though Dante's personality didn't really shine through in that game.
This new Dante, however, seems to have lots of personality. And I love his looks! I really do think he looks awesome. If Capcom decides to give him his trenchcoat and white hair back, just because so many are bitching about it, I would sincerely be disappointed. And no, I don't dislike the Dante we know and love, I just welcome these changes they've made to him. I'd also like to see the other characters get a make-over like it and see them star in this game as well.
So yeah, I disagree with that letter.
