Dante's Inferno

[LeadingMan]

Good teaser.

Well, color me excited. Been waiting for another good apocalypse / hell driven game. And EA Redwood has been putting out some unique stuff as of late.

This is gonna be one I'm watching.

[Edit] Their concept of Limbo is entirely inaccurate but it does provide baby monsters with tentacle claw arms. Which is always sweet.

[Ikari Warrior]

Would have been better if it starred the hero from Devil May Cry

[FaultyClockwork]

Interesting idea, so it will probably suck. D:

[J-Stop]

I heard this was based on a book or something.

I heard this was based on a book or something.

Its based on a poem.

Edit: Epic Poem

Interesting idea, so it will probably suck. D:

It's by the Dead Space guys, so I think they can handle it.

IMO

It's by the Dead Space guys, so I think they can handle it.

Then I know it will be good.

[Artie]

Wow, this looks really promising. Even better since the Dead Space team is working on it

[ROCKSTEADY]

Interesting idea, so it will probably suck. D:

[Natsu]

ok is there gonna be an ongoing trend in the "Dead Space" guys making babies with extra appendages.. this makes game number 2

[Dramatic Conclusion]

This is one of the worst game ideas I have ever heard. :angry:

[The Lone Magician]

It looked decent until I saw the the guy stabbing the monster in the head with a cross. Now watch, they'll get so many complaints from angry Christians or something that they'll have to cancel the game.

Looks like shit

[Gundampilotspaz]

Any game that gets a movie option before it is even release is doomed to go the way of Superman 64

That game looks amazing...

[Wind]

This is the new IP to follow in the legacy of games such as DOOM, QUAKE, HERECTIC/HEXEN. I feel very much so that it will have a very Doomish quake meets Herectic meets "Fuck Im in Hell" feel with beyond amazing technology behind the graphics engine (crosses fingers)

[Galkar]

Or it could be fun but very mediocre.

[Natsu]

I jus got the book and gonna brave and read it, but god dammit I hate prose writing.

[LeadingMan]

but god dammit I hate prose writing.

Mind blown.

Hmm, I'm wondering if that's Beatrice... Regardless, I gotta say I love that final shot.

[Natsu]

Why do I think of God of War when I saw that trailer?...

I'm still playing it regardless though

[LeadingMan]

Yeah, kinda a God of War / Ninja Gaiden vibe. But I'm liking it so far.

Dante’s Inferno begins with Dante killing Death and taking Death’s scythe. Dante then returns home to find that his fiancée, Beatrice, murdered and Lucifer has seduced her into Hell. This is what causes Dante to break through the gates of Hell and go through the nine circles of Hell to rescue his love.

Have you noticed that cross that’s on Dante’s chest? It’s actually tapestry sewn into his chest and each seam marks a sin he has committed in his life. As Dante goes through the circles of Hell, he will have to deal with the sins of his past in some form. He must face his past sins and redeem himself on his quest to rescue his true love, who we soon find out was also full of sin herself.

Dante’s Inferno holds a lot of potential. The game is being developed at EARS where Dead Space was developed at, two of the developers on the team have worked on Half-Life 2, Oddworld, God of War II and Metroid Prime and EA’s recent track record should leave gamers with some confidence that the game will turn out great.

And as far as the God of War comparisons go, one of the EA reps talking (I believe it was Jonathan Knight) at the panel said that they are flattered to be compared to God of War and were surprised that they don’t get more Devil May Cry comparisons. Oh, and one thing that I thought was pretty cool was the premise behind the Charon, the ferryman of Hades. Charon is the man who takes souls across the river to the other side. For the game, they've transformed Charon into a living boat.

So, to reiterate: Dante kills Death and steals his scythe before the game begins. That is one bad 'motha.

[Natsu]

well the story has sold me..and yeah I don't think that DMC has that much death and dismemberment as God Of War...but damn if he took Death's weapon that pretty fucking badass
