They really should have just had 30 seconds of close-up floppy demon wang with 'floooo-peeee de-mon waaaang, floooo-peeee de-mon waaaang' being chanted throughout.
Watch the Dante's Inferno Super Bowl Spot Now
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
I got this weird vibe that I rewatching the ending to "the One," where the evil Jet Li went to the eternal prison world. You can almost dub "I'm nobody's *****" over Dante when he starts kicking the legions of Hell's ass.
Ooo I like that song. Anyone know what that is?
And about the trailer, that seems pretty interesting. I like the way it was done and it didn't seem offensive or anything.
Actually makes me rethink my decision to pass that game up.

If I were to watch this commercial without any previous knowledge of the game (which I will assume millions will be this Super Bowl), I'd think "Girl gets taken to hell and shirtless medieval dude follows to get her back. And it's 'Dante's Inferno'? Huh, who knew they'd make a game of that. It looks okay-ish and not too offensive." Nothing to say for everything else they left out which is has been central to their advertising thus far.
I'm foreseeing a few instances where parents will walk in on their precious little child scythe-ing unbaptized babies spawned from Cleo's nips and give the expected reaction.

You do realize that this is the same ad committee that rejected a GoDaddy.com commercial because it made an abortion reference?John Funk said:
Ever since Jackson couldn't keep it in her shirt, PC is the rule of the day when it comes to the Superbowl. You can't air anything that even remotely has the possibility of making religious, women's rights, and/or minority rights groups *****.
I liked it. It wasen't to flashy, but it certainly got the idea and main plot of the story and the music in it wasen't bad to listen to either.
Damn, beaten to it. I was going to post that.Virgil said:
But yes, they're not airing it unless they change the tagline.
That wasn't the real ad, it was a trailer... (It wasn't 30 seconds and would've been like $10 million)...josh797 said:
Oh no, you're thinking linearly. 100+ seconds of Super Bowl airtime would probably be closer to $50 million at least. They'd charge extra for the privilege of blocking other advertisers who otherwise would have access to those 30 second blocks.Poopie McGhee said:
But yes, the trailer is much better. The 30 second ad isn't bad, but they invested a majority of their resources in licensing that song alone, a song which makes the central focus of the ad about Beatrice and the impending darkness. Not nearly as indicative of hell as I would have thought.
EA... come on... so you fired a bazillion people, and then what? Did ya balls drop off or something?
A bit of heavy metal would've suited better, like the Clash of the Titans Ad.
Wouldn't make me go out and buy it, but I'm going to already. The demo sold me on that.
