My thoughts on DmC concept art, Dante being half demon and half angel and the footage:
I have to say that the artist has done a great job with concept piece, great composition he took some tips from Renaissance paintings but it doesn't reflect DMC franchise. I'm pretty sure the art director came to the conept artist and said "make a concept art Dante is surrounded by half-naked angel prostitutes this will attract alot of fans" which it worked. Everyone is only talking about artwork even though it has mix feelings on forums.
The latest information they have given to us that Dante is half demon and half angel this is one of the cliche plotline i ever heard. This has been a typical storytelling since ages one of the unique things about DMC was they didn't include heaven and didn't make it one of those typical heaven vs hell. But i really don't care because now DmC doesn't fit to the original DMC franchise, i can say this DmC is not even canon to the series now. i just lauged my ass of when i head this.
The gameplay is till a turd and thats what it matters the true essence of the DMC is it's gameplay and everything below 30 fps is not acceptable. The animations doesn't have fludity in it, it feels really slow and mash friendly. This is just heavenly sword with couple of advance grapples and it doesn't even look like DMC gameplay mechanics. Capcom and NT have turned their backs on the fans and not listening to what they want, i really hope this game comes out and fails badly and teaches Capcom that this is one of the bad decisions they ever made.
