Dante is still in the game at least. But yeah, I don't like the idea of Nero becoming the focus, not at the moment.  Maybe my opinion will change once I play the game, but I imagine it will stay the same as there are so many reasons against replacing Dante.

from my recent reaserch i dont think nero will be the main character of the game.Dante is the main character only that nero will have to be controlled by players in order to keep things in balance.I believe u must have played (soul reaver,the legacy of kain) and (resident evil 4)dat is ow dmc4 will look like in terms of controllin the characters especially like(soul reaver).
