DmC: Devil May Cry TGS trailer shows off Demon Trigger

Devil May Cry's Tokyo Game Show trailer shows off more of his Devil Trigger ability, where Dante's hair goes white and his jacket becomes bright red. Is that enough to appease the naysayers?

Ever since Capcom and Ninja Theory revealed the redesigned Dante for DmC: Devil May Cry, fans have been up in arms. Every trailer released since has tried to convince gamers: hey, maybe things aren't too different, okay? In this new trailer from Tokyo Game Show, we see "emo Dante" doing what he does best: unleashing a flurry of combo-able attacks. You'll even see the Devil Trigger mode, where Dante's hair turns white, and his jacket becomes bright red. Is that enough to appease the naysayers?

One notable addition to Ninja Theory's take on the franchise is the rather surreal look of the environments. They seem much more dream-like, and appear to offer some platforming elements as well.

DmC Devil May Cry is slated to hit Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2012.

    Did you just bring up 'realistically badass' regarding Dante of the DMC series?
    
    Seriously?
    
    Because 'realism' is not and should never be a selling point of a DMC game, and it's already quite solidly proven that he is far more badass when he's ludicrous and awesome and having lots of fun.

    I hate the new look, but if they preserve the gameplay then I really don't care what it looks like.

      Pretty much. My main cause of skepticism is still Ninja Theory being the developer.

  Don't like the emo/goth mixed look. Just saying. The more mature white haired Dante was more my style.

  Don't care about the style, but the gameplay looks solid as ever. I think I've gotten past the age that stops caring about trivial things like style so Capcom can do whatever the hell they want with Dante as far as I'm concerned. Let the kids whine about it......as long as it plays well, I'm sold.

  They seem to have made Dante less emo in the build that is shown in the video.
  Its not as bad as the first screens / model that they first showed us, but it's still not Dante, and thats the problem.

  I just don't see why they had to change the way he looked in the first place, it's just a bad move.
  
  They should have just made it a different guy...
