It's not a matter of whether there are any recognizable elements in a character or not. It's a matter of whether there are enough. Using the example I mentioned before, if Phoenix Wright was remade into a pot smoking, drinking, dancing polka bear, but kept his sarcastic sense of humor, that would NOT be enough recognizable traits.
Not interested in Phoneix Wright.
Whether there are enough to you or not, you seem to failing to grasp, thats your opinion. Capcom Japan already confirmed they felt the character they created with Ninja Theory contained sufficent traits of the previous Dante's, while still maintaining a fresh take on the character. If your unhappy with that I suggest you take it up with Capcom Japan.
It's the same way that old Dante keeps his silly, over the top sense of humor with cheesy one liners in every iteration of the games. Yeah, character development in DMC. I remember that and how absolutely great it was, with brilliant lines such as
Wrong again. DMC1 Dante was never cheesy. He never went over the top. The reason you need to claim he did was to undermine previous iterations of Dante. The reason you need to do that is because DMC4 was so poor quality on its own, the only way you can condemn DmC and praise DMC4 is by undermining the previous games in the franchise. Its typical behvaiour from fans who only started playing DMC with DMC4, thinking that they can impose whatever rules they want because they wanted that Twilight game to continue.
There's a difference though between altering a character somewhat and drastically overhauling a character.
DmC is a reboot, a seperate continutity. The point of that was to overhaul the character... Have you not been paying attention DMC4 fan?
I've never once said that DMC4 Dante is the same, just that he's similar. Much, much more similar than DmC Dante, I might add.
There in lies your problem. DMC4 is supposed to be the same character in that series of games. Hence its unacceptable they made such drastic changes to him. DmC is a reboot, hence theres no correlation between why he would be exactly the same as DMC1 Dante. I'm grateful Ninja Theory didn't turn him into a camp jester, with homosexual red cowboy boots, making homoerotic poses. That is simply not Dante.
DMC4 takes place a fair amount of time after DMC1, and even longer after DMC3. There's no official time scales involved, but I'd wager it's at least ten years between 3 and 4, even longer if you subscribe to the "Nero is Vergil's son" theory.
Lol. You have to make up stuff to justify DMC4 being a good game. It was abyismal writing at best. Nero was an emo. His origin was never explained in the game because the game featured a terrible story.
You don't even realise for DMC3 and DMC4 to exist Capcom have to remove the pre-exisiting DMC novels from cannon. The original DMC creators never made sequels to the DMC games, hence why the timeline and the style of the games is inconsistant throughout the series. Yet you ignored that because you started playing with DMC4.
The simple truth is Capcom didn't know how to continue Dante's story, hence why they decided to make Nero the emo the new main character. Capcom went back and decided they didn't want to continue the Twilight game. Blaming Ninja Theory for changes they were asked to make is ridiculous.
