Thanks kindly to the hard work and haXx0r skillz of a chap called Shockproof Jamo, never before seen pictures of DMC1 have recently been brought to light. Some of the pictures show alternative designs of existing items in DMC1. Other pictures show brand new items, which obviously never made it to the final, released, game. Finally, other pictures show ammo for the grenade gun and Dante wielding the Needlegun on land.
The most interesting thing about these pictures (for me) is wondering how different DMC1 would have been - okay, so a pink Chastity Sign wouldn't exactly have made much difference, except made DMC1 a tiny bit more gay (:p). But imagine restricted grenade gun ammo - no more grenade-rolling to your heart's content. Or imagine what the silver mask and the crystal skull were intended for - it's hard to see where they could fit into the existing game, so it suggests that possibly greater ambitions were indeed once intended for DMC1, as has been been theorized previously.
Anyway, enjoy!
A few pictures of items taken from the existing DMC1, to compare with the former designs.
