Dante is a great character, I don't really understand the hate. From what I see now, the people defending the shift are saying that Dante was a douche or he loved himself too much for the player to get attached too. Personally, I loved the swagger, the too cool for school attitude. Otherwise you get another self-serious protagonist and there are more than enough out there already. Better to have a guy who's in for the ride as much as the player is.
I wonder too if this would be different if say it was Vergil's origin story, or a completely new IP. But the answer remains the same, I do not like this character. Unconvincing, ugly and too much of a Twilight reject for me to care. And when you don't connect with your main protaganist from the get-go, then that's already a bad start. The fact that it's an 'edgy' remake of one of my personal favourite game characters, purely based on what they assume is market appeal? Well that just plain annoys me.
Really the only optimism I have right now is that it actually isn't Dante, with the talk of "subject 6.4.4.3.2.V", a "rehabilitation program" and no Rebellion (Dante's sword), that this guy only believes he is Dante.
