Dante's Inferno

[Polaris]

Protesters go after EA's Dante's Inferno outside convention center

Is this a joke, viral or just retarded Christians like usual?

HELL IS NOT A BOOK!

 

[TCfromBN]

Lol, I can't take people like that seriously.

 

[VictimOfScience]

EA = Electronic Antichrist.

Awesome.

(Of course, they are publishing some of my favorite stuff, so I can't quite jump on this bandwagon.)

 

[Warped]

I just got the Devine Comedy at Barnes and Noble and it looks just like a bible. It has the golden edged pages, the little bookmark thats embedded in the seam and amazing illustrations. If I weren't reading Moby Dick this would be my #1 choice

 

[Polaris]

Do you have a version with illustrations by Gustave Doré? That one is really epic.

 

[<RJMC>]

There you go, its about half way down just above it says "Hell Bound" http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=209002

"also this is a spoiler but when you are about to kill satan he will tell you he is your father,exciting isnt? we are sure this would create a revolutions in videogames plot!,and them dante whit the help of some giants will go to kill satan by going back in time!"

 

[Adabiviak]

...this game has about as much in common with Dante's Inferno as Painkiller does - it seems like they just borrowed the name because some people will recognize it, not because the game's based on the story.

10 bucks says this is going to be more or less a hack and slash button masher...with a few tricks here and there.

Isn't this what everyone has been saying all along?

 

[Nomad]

Deformed human mouth monster in the trailer was disturbingly hilarious.

 

[JNightshade]

I'm torn about this one. On one hand, the premise is RETARDED. Dante's Inferno has nothing to do with combat whatsoever, and they're merely mining its name for publicity.

On the other...
holy crap, fighting through hell in a crazy art style sounds orgasmic.

 

[Yorick]

I don't care that this game is basically God of War in Hell. This looks absolutely fantastic.

 

[Warped]

its like the game Prey, Doom 3, God of War, and maybe a little Devil May Cry all rolled into one. I'll wait for the reviews

 

[Barnz]

I've been told Wayne Barlowe is working on this project. He's one of my favourite artists.

I hope you're right. Tearing through awesome an depiction of Hell dmc stylee would do me just fine

 

[Sulkdodds]

I like the Masturbator enemies that were in the concept art.

 

[nurizeko]

I think when EA resorts to butchering the classics of literature, its the job of every literate halfway intelligent human on this Earth to march upon their headquarters and raise it to the ground.

I mean, war was started over POLAND of all places, surely this is just as much cause if not more so?.

 

[Murray]

A question that comes to mind: Does it have to resemble the aformentioned poem to be awesome?

 

[VirusType2]

I don't remember any fuss about the Alice In Wonderland games - were they more like the book or something?

 

[Yorick]

Not at all, and that's a good point. There was only one, though.

Raze.

 

[VirusType2]

I would put a comma after literate, but whateva biatches.

 

[Deleted member 56031]

first 20 minutes of game (slight spoilers here in):

http://www.vg247.com/2009/12/11/dantes-inferno-the-entire-demo-in-a-20-minute-video/

I'm surprised it actually looks kinda decent A god of war rip off in a good way, and I like the omen style music.

 

[Ravioli]

Wait a minute, this isnt coming for PC??? Wiki says PS3 and 360 but doesnt mention PC at all.

EDIT:

Looks like shit anyway, thats probably why its not for PC, we are too elite for these low standards.


Dirty peasant console games.

 

[Sedako]

Demo is out for PS3 now. I played through it this morning. It borrows heavily from GoW, even the control scheme. It's not a bad thing though, as anyone familiar with GoW can pick it right up. I'll admit that I had fun playing it, and I'll probably buy it when it goes down in price a bit.

 

[the cow says moo]

I was planning on buying this just because it's being made by Visceral, but after watching that video, it looks rather bad.

 

[Combine Hybrid]

It looks better than gow3.

 

[Deleted member 56031]

oh no you didnt! :O

*wags finger*

 

[Sedako]

It looks better than gow3.

Nothing is better than GoW!

/goes back to playing GoW2 HD

In all seriousness though, the art of Dante's Inferno is great. The level design though, from what I've seen, is nowhere near GoW's.

 

[VirusType2]

Damn, you better be able to turn off pop-up tips, but I have no doubts you can.

Looks pretty damned fun. That long path through the woods looked rushed though; low poly and repeating scenery. Well, it's like he walks down a perfect ramp onto it.

Would definitely buy it if it came out for the PC. Yes, I have a 360 controller for Windows.

 

[Sedako]

Just to note, the game runs at a constant 60fps on the PS3.

 

[bam23]

Goddam this game has mass titties.

 

[jimbo118]

Just wacthed the vids.

Wow, could they even attempt to hide their blatant Gow ripping? Same hud, same controls, right-stick to dodge, a 'redemption' meter that fills with each combo kill, 'kill all monsters leading to the door switch before the giant bolder/wheel etc crushes you' sections, 'ride the monster' sections :|

Not really surprised since the devs made Dead Space with wasn't very original.

Gona d/l the demo and try myself.

 

[Darkside55]

I don't remember any fuss about the Alice In Wonderland games

That's because American McGee's Alice was fuckawesome and wasn't a shitty GoW clone.

Although I imagine the Lewis Carroll Society might've had some complaints about it. Those people are

Spoiler

mad as hatters

There was only one, though.

Sequel's in the works.

 

[Deleted member 56031]

Yeah that game did have a really really cool timburtonesque aesthetic design behind it though. This game could be anything really nothing especially screams out the divine comedy to me.

Still I may get this when it drops in price, it does look like a really solid GOW clone.

 

[Darkside55]

timburtonesque

Get out. Get out, get out, get out.

 

[Deleted member 56031]

well i couldn't think of anything else to describe it :| apparently i've hurt a nerve

 

[Yorick]

Sequel's in the works.

Shit son, really? That's awesome. I hope it doesn't suck.

 

[Darkside55]

I hope it doesn't suck.

Ditto. It's being done by the same guys who did American McGee's Grimm; I haven't played any of those games myself, but I heard they got iffy reviews. Here's hoping the game turns out alright. Have some concept art for the new game:
