Looks like Ninja Theory isn’t much to blame for Dante’s redesign in the upcoming reboot of Devil May Cry. According to Ninja Theory’s Nina Kristensen, Capcom gave the company to go ahead to “go crazy” when the designing new Dante.
“The concepts for Dante went through a lot of different iterations – they went all over the place – we went really far out with some,” Kristensen told Develop. “The first time we sent our initial concepts to Capcom Japan, they said no, no you need to push it way further.
“Because, obviously, Dante is a big character for Capcom, we stuck fairly close to the original design template. But Japan said we needed to go much further, go crazy with it, and so we did.”
Anybody else wondering what their original template looked like?
I don’t think they even tried. They copied the way the Ninja Theory boss Tameem Antoniades looks like.
If they really wanted to push the envelope they should’ve made him Black or Hispanic.
If nothing else it should get gamers off their backs for changing the design so much since their orders were to make such drastic changes.
If “go crazy” is code for “as much suck as possible”, then mission accomplished NT!
the hell? they sure went crazy about making dante like that :\
lol excuses
Hey if i make my own face the main character of a game does that count as “go crazy” :D
You would probably be considered “crazy.”
This current design is “crazy” and more crazy then their first submissions? Not very creative if you ask me nor do I see how this is crazy at all seeing as it just looks like an emo kid. What was their first crazy design, a jock?
