TGS/E3 2005 Stuff#
Trailers#
Early screenshots & renders#
These show some earlier version of areas that did make it to the final game. Most notably however, Dante's design is different. The major design differences include:
- Looks younger than in the final game which may hint at the game having been supposed to take place earlier in the timeline than in the final
- No beard
- Belts around his upper body are missing
- Pants look completely different with them missing the red part and maybe having originally been supposed to be out of denim instead of leather although it may already have been the latter
