People were mostly raging at ninja theory is because they have never proven to be able to make great combat systems and maintain good 60fps framerate.
Which are all fairly significant for DMC.

I really didn't like the look of this. I will say that the trailer makes it look like it might be a decent action game, but it certainly won't be a Devil May Cry game.

My primary concern with Ninja Theory as the developer is that they tend to sacrifice gameplay fluidity for a cinematic feel. I loved Enslaved, but that's a different beast. DMC originated stylish action, if you mess up the combat then you're not really making a DMC game. Everything else is ancillary.
I saw the seeds of some good combat in the trailer, but it's way to early to tell how things will pan out. If you can't out Bayonetta Bayonetta, what's the point?
Well, I dunno. I'm going to guess that DmC doesn't have a plot point where
your arm is really your dead wife
which already makes it at least 0.23 times better than BC.
(God, is that thing even worthy of being spoiler tagged? Fuck it, whatever.)
His arm is his dead wife!
There, its out there. What if one of notDante's shoes ends up being Virgil?
Tell me more. What hilarity is this?
The man has a huge biomechanical grappling hook arm with his own wife's brain inside?
Why?
Because they wanted to be Metal Gear Solid.
Also, the guy goes around the entire game angrily shouting "WHAR'S MAH WIFE" and then it turns out she was in his arm the entire time, thus creating dramatic irony.
The whole thing makes She-Hulk's MvC3 ending (Or was it Bionic dude's?) hilarious and awkward at the same time, because they're on a date.

You guys know me. The only thing I care about is gameplay. I saw the player character grapple an enemy into range, launch him into the air, air combo him. Cool.
Another sequence: dante grapples himself onto a different airborne enemy, combo him, knock him up, grapple him back down, knock him away, then shoot him mid air.
I saw an aoe nunchuck style attack that launched three enemies into the air, followed by another grapple combo, shoot, grapple, combo sequence.
I saw air control: leapt into the air above an enemy, moved horizontally over the battlefield above the enemy with a white weapon trail, then came down with a large fire attack behind the enemy.
I saw helm breakers and aoe ground attacks.
I saw cancels and freeflowing combat.
I saw what I want.
Bought.

(PSN: Morninglord) (Steam: Morninglord) (WiiU: Morninglord22) I like to record and toss up a lot of random gaming videos here.
Continuing a "multimedia" promotional strategy that's seen such wonders as the latest Street Fighter movie, Capcom has asked Hollywood production company Screen Gems (part of Sony Pictures) to whip up a Devil May Cry feature film.
It'll be a live-action project, written by Kyle Ward, who has also penned the upcoming (and long in production hell) Kane & Lynch movie adaptation.
Those hoping this will feature the old Dante, sorry. The film will be based on the new Dante design for the upcoming series reboot/prequel, DmC.
To be fair, I'd rather see a movie butcher a character design that I'm not sold on yet over a character design that I like a lot.

I never saw the point in watching a long collection of cutscenes without any gameplay in the middle.
Except metal gear solid.
I went there. Cos its true.
I carefully watched that trailer about five times, stopping n starting to check details. I'm seriously intrigued about what I'm seeing. I don't have any downers about the rest of it that you guys have. Doesn't really matter to me how my gameplay is dressed.
Also I fucking love nero's mechanic so this grappling thing has me really interested. I'm insanely curious to know where you can keep on hooking onto a new enemy in the air during that long air time after you've killed one. It looks like you can but they broke all the sequences apart so its impossible to tell if anything ends the combo. If you can tho... knocking them all into the air and killing them all in the air without touching the ground is going to be my new hobby for a while.

The people who have never played DMC before far outnumber the DMC fans.
Capcom thus decided to appeal to all of the non-fans at once, and they figured that since they are not fans of DMC, the correct way to attract them would be create a game that does not resemble DMC at all.
This logic is foolproof.

Can you be hipster and goth at the same time? Perhaps as some sort of hyphenate hybrid? So they wouldn't be "hipster goth", they would be "hipster-goth". They would ironically be mocking goth stuff, but there would be double irony in that they actually like goth and are secretly mocking those who don't like goth because of their prejudices.
It's a demographic slice that's just crazy enough to actually want this shit...

I feel like a blind man in a crazy house of mirrors who is finding money on the floor nobody else is noticing they're so busy chattering about "look how wide my ass is in this one."
It's pretty fascinating.

Just killing time while waiting to see some more gameplay.
Right now it looks way too damn slow but I dunno if that's just a stylistic choice for the trailer.

I'm not expressing annoyance, btw. Feel free to hate what you hate. Don't want to dictate to anyone.
It looks slowed down to match the music. It's also heavily edited, skips all over the place. Occasionally they sort of pause the scene and stuff for the beat. (Break apart a sequence with a quick fade to black and back to add time) I think the presentations aim is to make it seem like he's sauntering through the place without really trying very hard because none of the enemies present to him a particularly strong challenge. That's what I got out of it. They're all the same enemy so I'd imagine it's the equivelant of a bunch of scarecrows from DMC4. Or those sloth guys from DMC3 they had in all the trailers since you could combo them for ages and it looked nice.

Which is why I'm saying that I'll judge once I got some more proper gameplay and more details.
I want to see if the rumors about it being an inconsistent 30fps and having limited gun ammo (wut) are actually true in order to see if this will interest me.
Though I tolerated PS3 bayonetta so if the gameplay is fucking fantastic like bayonetta I could probably tolerate the FPS being lower. :P

I remember the reaction being similar when the early trailers for Bayonetta came out, except that with Bayonetta anyone who didn't hate it with a passion was labeled a pervert.

Oh yes, yes, yes. Gimme some of that!

Nothing new.
My feeling on this is the same as every other announcement of a video game movie: Nothing.
Except metal gear solid.

Punk's don't fucking shop at hot topic or sit in the corner and write sad poetry. If you want to insult something at least know what you're insulting.

Hey now, proper goths won't go to hot topic.
Hipsters would only go to hot topic and write sad poetry ironically.
Basically, if the game doesn't contain a very hairy witch being fuckawesome, its hard to give two shits about it.
It's just that, you know, someone has to make one.
