DmC: Devil May Cry takes the series in a new direction without watering down the series’ core fundamentals of combat, pacing and those ever-addictive red orbs. Capcom US producer Alex Jones has explained to VG247 why it understands fan’s initial reaction to Dante’s redesign and why it wanted to tone down the corny jokes and ‘campy’ tone of the original games.

Capcom has sent over some lovely new screensshots for Devil May Cry. In the shots below, you can look at Dante smack enemies of Limbo City around and observe how buildings, streets and environments will morph in an attempt to kill him. Don’t worry about our demon hunter, though: he can always activate his Devil Trigger, slow time and turn the world monochrome and unleash nasty combos upon the baddies. There is also a look at one of the game’s bosses in there as well. For more DmC action, check out the trailer posted yesterday.

If you’re violently resistant to change, you may want to tell all puntable creatures to leave the room. According to Siliconera, Dante’s now half-demon and half-angel. Unfortunately, according to our villainous arch-rival Math, that leaves very little room for the human half that so characterized the white-haired embodiment of mid-life crisis in previous games.

Fingers crossed, though, that the weaponized guitar’s also making a comeback. Because truly, what’s more righteous than the power of rock?

Capcom has said that DMC will include more weapons along with new enemies and and abilities while keeping the same feel as previous games in the franchise.

Capcom and Ninja Theory has compared Dante’s change in the Devil May Cry reboot to James Bond in the film Casino Royale, where you see 007 as he was before he became the suave, misogynistic agent with a license to kill.

Apparently, Dante in the new DMC is sort of like that. Rough around the edges, and definitely not suave.
