First of all, I'd like to say what the hell.
Second, I'd like to introduce to you the producers of the game - EA.
Third, I'd like to show you the trailer: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/43684.html?rdir=1&
Is this going to be another God of War? Where a bunch of randomly selected bits and pieces of Greek Mythology are crammed together and then changed? Worse still, this game looks to be a third-person gore-filled action game: assuming that the armour-clad warrior shoving the crucifix into a shade's head is Dante. I just know they'll have Satan (Dis if you want to be all pretentious like myself) as a last boss with one of those zelda-esque 3-hits to kill things - it fits pretty well considering what Satan is described as in Inferno.
Now I've read Inferno (not the whole comedy, as I did a dissertation on the first and really couldn't face the other two after I'd finished) but I don't think I'm an expert on it. However, I'm pretty sure Dante wasn't a super-powered God-knight who killed sinners in Hell (as if they weren't already punished enough). There's bugger all action in it anyway as far as Dante is considered. Oh yeah, he sees a few bits of action here and there with some pretty gruesome punishments and whatnot, but he hardly participates in it himself. I know for a fact that he doesn't kill anyone. It isn't even a literal book, it's an allegory! It was meant (as far as I understand) to explore the possibilites of evil in the soul as well as entertain people since hundreds of years ago it was actually funny to read!
I'm one to judge a game before it even shows a gameplay video, and this has just pissed me right off. Call me shallow or pessimistic or whatever you want, but I can't see anything good coming out of this at all. The Inferno is no basis for a video game, in my opinion. But what about yours?
