The new "DmC"

Over there at my buddy blog, http://havocvgb.blogspot.com/2010/09/sign-of-times.html, Spike had already said a few words about how time changes the game design, please go read there and then come back here.

Now, Hideki Kamiya (The creator of the "Devil May Cry" series) just had a few things to say about the new "Devil May Cry", named "DmC", just like in one of those hip hop bands.

This new take on the character Dante is a kick in the balls for me. The game can and probably will be cool but the character himself will not. A guy with short hair, a weak physic with his chest nude does not make a cool character. He looks like a reject from a "twilight" movie (probably exactly the thing they were aiming for). It screams to me "I wanna suck as many cocks as i can get!"

But my taste is a little biased. I know that japanese has a different taste for characters and a different culture and so, maybe for them this new Dante will be cool.

Just to compare, a male character for me would be a guy like Solid Snake or even Kazuma from the Yakuza series.

I don´t know why kids today like these emo looking kind of guys. In my time it was guys like Arnold, Chuck Norris and Stallone who were THE guys and role models. Strong guys. I really dislike the direction of today pop culture and i really hope that someday we can return back to "normal".
