360, wait, so there's different main characters?

judasgoat @ Feb 19th 2008 4:05PM

Playstation 3, if you please.

Same action figure, different paint job. It happens all the time.

John B @ Feb 19th 2008 4:17PM

Because it is cheaper to make the models if they all look the same!
Xbox 360 FTW

baldwyn @ Feb 19th 2008 11:13PM

360. Why do they all look the same? Because they all look like me! Yeah, that's the ticket. I had sex with all their moms. (Remember John Lovitz from SNL?)

asmonius @ Feb 19th 2008 4:34PM

Xbox 360
uh...inbreeding?

Raikage (Ludwig Defense Force) @ Feb 19th 2008 5:31PM

Dante is the limited addition figure.

3city version (360)

Ryan @ Feb 19th 2008 6:05PM

You'd have white hair too if you not only had to fight through hordes of demons, but then rinse and repeat on dante must die mode

Ryan Bre @ Feb 19th 2008 6:04PM

You'd have gray hair too if your job was to fight your way though demons, and then rinse and repeat on dante must die mode. 360

XB360 - Because their dad sleeps around?

Victor Tran @ Feb 19th 2008 10:20PM

Xbox 360!! They are just clones!

Hodge @ Feb 20th 2008 9:21AM

It's because of the polygons.

PS3, please!

james.biffle @ Feb 20th 2008 12:31PM

360 plz.

They are all the same guy with a huge identity crisis, and the game is played out in his head (that tidbit just hasn't been released yet ;))

Kevin Lingenfelser @ Feb 21st 2008 2:21PM

360 please!
The hair, face (Dante looks a little older in DMC4), the clothes.

John Wriston @ Feb 21st 2008 6:19PM

The Xbox 360 version would be just dandy... I believe you are looking for the term deoxyribonucleic acid. This is why the characters look the same, because of the basic building blocks of life. I learned about this from Jurassic Park. *adjusts pocket protector*

Kevin @ Feb 21st 2008 8:09PM

they are clones,360

matt @ Feb 22nd 2008 7:55AM

Itts cause Dante and Virgil are bothers and Nero is accually Dante's Demonic alter ego

MAsterchiefofCOD4 @ Feb 22nd 2008 2:09PM

Because vergil is Dantes Twin brother and they all worship SParda,and are part of the order of the sword which all members have a similar appearence

Dan Wang @ Feb 22nd 2008 8:17AM

360. I think that it is because they are all from the same family, triplets, and that will be important to the plot of Devil May Cry 4.

davetheoldman @ Feb 22nd 2008 10:09AM

xbox 360! dante and virgil are brothers, and nero had plastic surgery cause he wanted to look like dante

Dan Leibowitz @ Feb 22nd 2008 12:10PM

ps3 because they are all the same person, just different faces of that person

tommy boy @ Feb 26th 2008 8:48PM

They look alike because Dante and Virgil are twins, but when Virgil exploded as Nelo Angelo in DMC, his spirit came back to life many years later as Nero.

360

NakedSnakeA7x @ Feb 22nd 2008 1:08PM

What a list! both are sadistic, check! both look like my grandfather, check. Both shop at gap for their jackets, check, and last but not least both haven't had a date since this demon business accursed them!

Nate Rdz @ Feb 22nd 2008 2:54PM

Because Virgil And Dante are twin brothers. Nero has Virgil's devil hand + Virgils sword, hes kinda like an incarnation of dante's twin brother except not evil and younger.
besides they all look like albinos, so their solves the similar white hair. lol.

Xbox 360

Gordon @ Feb 22nd 2008 2:51PM

Well lets see.....Seems to me they all hair the same hair, pretty much the same fighting style, and i do believe they all have some sort of out of this world super powers(which are frickin' sweet)...or the creators of this game could just be messing with us hahaha...oh by the way PS3

Eric @ Feb 22nd 2008 6:40PM

360. they ALL look alike. the only way to tell you have a different character is by what each one of the m can do in the game when you play.

Jack Brick @ Feb 22nd 2008 3:09PM

Dante, Nero, and Virgil all look alike because of one factor: Sparta.

Dante and Virgil are the twin sons of Sparta, and seemingly identical besides their sides of good and evil.

Nero is part of the "Order of the Sword," which is a group of warriors that worship Sparta.

PS3 OR Xbox360, I do have both system.

The_Chim @ Feb 22nd 2008 3:26PM

XBOX 360 Please and thank you.

I'd imagine they look alike because birds of a feather flock together.

Rick Croom @ Feb 23rd 2008 2:25AM

playstation 3

they all look the same because they all do the same job of killing demons, and maybe because they are all half demon half human. That and because if Dante looks cool they have to make the rest of the characters look cool so just make them all look like Dante.

Joseph Ioannou @ Feb 22nd 2008 4:50PM

360 Please, they are identical because they were created by God himself but once all three were on earth they were given to the main forces one to Karmic people which control earths balance one to the Angels and one to the Demons from then on they shall be raised by them so god could learn which one will dominate and which force is stronger. Dante Rules!!!

stuffthathappenskid @ Mar 2nd 2008 11:49AM

Obviously Dante is so popular that Nero was jealous and went out and got plastic surgery from Virgil, who seeing this as a fast approaching trend, (and always keeping up with the latest fashions) decided to get the go for the look himself! ;) 360 ftw

Mike Miles @ Feb 22nd 2008 9:04PM

The reason Dante, Vergil and Nero look alike is because they are all descendants of Sparda. While it is known that Dante and Vergil are sons of Sparda, Nero's relation to Sparda is never given.

Xbox 360 version please

lori cantalupo @ Feb 22nd 2008 5:34PM

they are all the sons of the devil

Chris @ Feb 22nd 2008 6:13PM

Xbox 360

Same Model, Different Paint Job. Its Capcom! Resident Evil Hasn't changed zombie types since two.

Derobosmi @ Feb 22nd 2008 6:21PM

they're related, duh

360

Gary @ Feb 22nd 2008 6:42PM

PS3 please!

They are all Three[3] Twins! [Triplets]

george v @ Feb 22nd 2008 7:30PM

Because they are related, dante and virgil are brothers and nero is their father

Glak @ Feb 22nd 2008 8:00PM

360.
Because Dante Neero and Virgil are all Twins.

Se7en_Gunz @ Feb 22nd 2008 8:57PM

PS3.... they all look identical because demon half breeds always look kick ass with white hair.

Dylan Ayala @ Feb 23rd 2008 1:57AM

Because all three were named after iconic figures from ancient rome : Dante(Dante Agligheri), Nero(Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus), and Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro). 360 please!

Greg L @ Feb 23rd 2008 12:25AM

XBOX 360. They share a common chromosome or two?

Squall954 @ Feb 23rd 2008 12:38AM

Well, one time long ago, Dante and Virgil lived in a magical garden. They lived in happiness until one day, Virgil decided to try and give Dante a magical apple from one of the trees. "Hang on a second," Dante said. "What's this magical apple do?" "It makes you beautiful!" replied Virgil, knowing darn well that the fruit actually turned the eater into the person who originally gave it to them. So, when Dante took a bite out of it with his large, luscious teeth, he transformed into Virgil!

"Wait a darn tootin' minute..." Dante said. "You tricked me!" "Lol." stated Virgil. Angered by his words, Dante became enraged with a burning passion like 1000 Egyptian gypsies set on fire by a murderous ruler. "I simply want to know what it'd be like to have a clone of myself... Two amazingly beautiful people in one world is just magnificent!" exclaimed the prissy Virgil. Dante stared at the ground for a second, then cut Virgil in half.

"Holy ****, wtf?!" Virgil exclaimed, sliding neatly into two. "Now there's only one beautiful person in this world..." But, little did Dante know that, due to nuclear radiation gained from the horrific Chernobyl incident, Virgil could regenerate himself! Both his halves formed into two wholes, and thus, Nero was born.

The trio stared at each other for a second before bursting into tears. Now there were three beautiful people in the world, and only two Corvettes to drive around in! Dante let tears run down one side of his face as he brushed his white hair over the other side. Nero took his devilishly mutated arm and scratched his wrists with the razor sharp tip. Virgil sat down and ate Stay-Puft Marshmallows while debating how the three would drive only two Corvettes, especially with rising gas prices!

Oh, and Xbox 360.
