... naked.
Movies are at IGN, "mirrored" by Quiter.
The DMC outfit is his transformed version ; in his normal version, he is naked except for a nice black string.
This time, we'll see at last how badass Dante really is.

? the old viewtiful joe game that came out some months ago, or is this a new one?

I have a question for the people that have played Viewtiful Joe. In one of the videos (I believe it's the first one at IGN), there's a stage where Dante is running up a staircase in a gothic castle surrounded by statues, and eventually needs to fight off a helicopter that flies around him and tries to shoot him. Is this a new Devil May Cry-inspired level, or just a normal stage in Viewtiful Joe?

And instead of a nice little scenario that ties Dante and Trish into VJ's world and maybe adds in a few extra DMC-inspired levels, it sounds like neither of them will really fit into the game at all.

And now, instead of a relatively cool Dante

Trish is not supposed to be playable (yet).
But I'm amazed you waited for a serious scenario. This thing is hundred times better than "Dante fights a demon who suddenly cast a spell that send him to another universe where he must kill all baddies to come back to his world".

No, no. I wasn't waiting for a serious scenario. I was waiting for a scenario. When the game was announced at E3, it was sort of hinted that there would be new levels and cutscenes for Dante and Trish. Now, it seems like they get their own opening sequence and then the rest of the game is 100% Viewtiful Joe 1 with a Dante skin wrapped around Joe. The former would be worth it, because it would actually feature some additional gameplay, as well as another good reason to keep replaying the game. The latter is just one more character among a roster of, what... three playable characters already? Four?

For a PC game, a Dante skin would just be some thirteen-year-old amateur photoshopper's free contribution to the game. For a console game, it's apparently "new content" and a good reason to wait a few more months for a game that's already available on the GameCube.

Anyone happen to know if Dante is going to be in VJ2 (specifically, on the GC version)? If not, maybe they'll do sort of like Soul Calibur 2 and give GC a different unique character. Mario could be fun...

But Dante is not a skin tho is he? From watching the videos I see he's a complete character with his own abilities, that would make it an entirely new game to play as opposed to playing as Joe, Silvia or Alastor and I cant wait to get my hands on any new VJ character system.

Isnt it the player performance that makes the game in VJ? The game doesnt provide the incredible action - you do that yourself with the system provided.

But how will Dante handle the game engine in VJ? From the very brief time I spent playing VJ I got the impression the game was set up around the powers that Joe had such as slowing down time and so on. How will Dante be able to handle the time related obstacles with his DMC style attacks? Were the unlockable characters in VJ1 different enough from Joe that there were alternate ways built into the game for them to clear a stage?
