Pretty sure giving unbridled freedom to shitcucks can only result in shit. This looks like shit - all these videos with fucking academic experts is the epitome of hipster garbage.

Same character, different makeup.

The face shapes look quite different too.
Anyway, what matters to me is that the old one looked like a crazy dangerous bitch who can literally go to hell and kick demon butts, and the new one is anything but that. And on top of that, the old one is also way more attractive.
The devs tried hard to be artsy instead of making sense within the context of their own story. As a result, they failed at both.

"Hey John?"

"Yes Ed?"

"You think we made these moves telegraphed enough? Made sure the player has enough time to dodge, make a cup of tea and then get in a couple of hits?"

"Hmmm, not sure. Best throw in a 'slo-mo' special move just in case."

The models and animation sure look purty though. Just hope this is a very early fight, like tutorial early.

Yeah, I was super disappointed when I saw the change like two years ago. The old one looked messed up and attractive. The new one looks like an average girl who has hardly been in battle. The visuals was one of the only things this game had going for it, which is why this change is such a big letdown.

What a pile of crap. So it's half movie, a quarter of excruciatingly boring combat and a quarter of stupid puzzles apt for preschoolers with yet another detective vision mimicry. And on top of that she's not even hot. Terrible, way to spoil what three years looked like a good idea.

Nu-DMC isn't too bad but that Enslaved is like a shittier version of Uncharted without guns. This looks way too much like God of War 4 too.

Ninja Theory has never really gotten the hang of combat. DmC was the closest they ever got to designing 'good' combat, and even then that's because it was basically just a substantially watered-down variant of DMC4's combat with most of the complexity cut out.
