I'm looking forward to it and hope it's a GOTY. I really want this to sell 5 copies for every person on earth. Simple reason being maybe then game publishers balls will drop and they will stop skirting things. That said I think it looks fun.
Hands-On: Dante's Inferno

News flash this is capitalist america, theyve fucked up the epics in anime, they've fucked up good american tv shows, they've fucked up comic book movies, and they've fucked up good books, this will be no different, in fact im open to the adaptation theyre making, it begs to ask the question of what wouldve really happened if virgil hadnt been their to tell the monsters to not attack him.iain62a said:
Well, good. Glad to hear that it's going to be a decent game, from all accounts. I'll definitely be checking this out, especially since they're spicing up that godawfully boring poem by means of retelling through a God of War-esque retelling. "Oh, noes, they're butchering my litcheratchure! Oh, woe is the the world, Wah wah wah!"
It's a different medium, you lime-headed poofters. Different medium means a different presentation and adapted material. And with a title like "Dante's Inferno", it should really have some pretty decent action, not a lousy-ass walkabout through what could reasonably be called the most excited place around.

Dante's Inferno was a good read, but The Poetic Edda crushes it with an Awesomehammer 5000.
The game sounds like a blast, so I'll be sure to check it out.

God of War in another interesting setting?
Sweet! Now I wonder if GoW developers are thinking of sueing
Redeeming victims tho? Eat my Death-Scythe, demons!

Just because you own a copy of the book doesn't mean you hold the license to it. It isn't your literature, and given it's age I don't know as though it actually belongs to anyone. Alot of people could've probably complained about Rise of the Argonauts for "butchering", ehh, whatever the name of the epic poem it was based on was (Jason and the Argonauts?), but they didn't (at least not to my reccolection) and why? Because A: they knew it was ultimately futile, B: they knew it would just make them look bad, and C: because (at least in my opinion) it was a relatively decent game, not great but not terrible.iain62a said:
i am looking forward to this game since i read the poem and understood the game was a action game set in medieval vision of hell which is enough for me to buy even a bad game ...
but does that copy some gameplay mechanic and stuff of god of war or is it litteraly the same thing... because i cannot take the "its the exact same game" seriously

There's a pretty detailed description of Mohammed tearing himself in half in a pit in the Eighth level of Hell in L'Inferno. Although a giant naked Cleopatra with unbaptized babies spewing from her breasts is pretty offensive to some people, I'm not sure if EA has the balls to include that.
I've read Dante's Inferno and it was pretty depressing
and when I saw the first trailer for this game it was pretty chilling
sooo yeah definitely giving this game a try
(sure it's not meant to mirror the poem, but if it did it'd be a pretty dull adventure game...with no quests...or...anything lol)

I'm not trying to stop them from making the game, I'm just saying that it's a shame that this classic piece of literature has been turned into a God of War clone.KingPiccolOwned said:
I mean, if they'd made it a remotely thoughtful game instead of a mindless hackfest then I wouldn't have minded. As it stands they've just stuck the name on in an effort to sell more copies.
I played the preview copy of Dante's Inferno at GameX. While it does look kind of nice, includes some visceral combat (seriously, a scythe made out of a spine?) and includes a couple of puzzles, it didn't do much else to stand out in my eyes. (Granted, you're reading the words of someone who hasn't seriously picked up a console controller since the N64, but still.) And the demo cumulates with a minor boss battle against the aforementioned bare-breasted demon woman- whose nipples are mouths with tongues that flick out from time to time. And yes, the little demon babies crawl out of one of those nipples.
On the upside, I also saw Bayonetta at GameX, and it makes Dante's Inferno look like high art insofar as "maturity" is concerned.

Then why bother cheesing the name at all?? If they don't want us English Major Pricks to do comparisons (which is what we spend a majority of our careers doing anyway) then how about show some creativity and NOT name it after something we HAVE jizzed over since our freshman year in college?SODAssault said:
Ahhhh, I think I've figured out why my panties are in a bunch... large baby spewing titties do NOTHING for me when it comes to Lust... then again, I guess those of us who are bored playing with our own boobies and lust after "joy sticks" aren't exactly listed in the target audience. Boo.
I'm pretty sure that if you go to hell for the sin of Lust, you're not about to be bombarded with things that get you off.LadyWolf101103 said:
True that... but titties spewing babies? More disturbing and confusing than eternal punishment for lust... no? I would imagine it would be greater punishment if I weren't turned into a female lust demon with what appeared to be a tongue coming out of my nether region. I suppose then that would be cause for much weeping, tearing of hair, and beating of breasts... ;-)SODAssault said:
