    I find it very intriguing how when you find a VIP example: Pontius Pilate or Emperor Frederick II that you get info about them in life and why they were sent to that part of Hell. I actually find that's one of the coolest parts of the game.

    I'm curious to see what role morality choices play in this game. Normally you see that element in games with which you spend more time. As result you get to see the development of your player, the world and the effect of your choices on both. In a straight beat-em-up/action game though? I'd like to see how they pull this off.

    I swear to you this music has the orchestral flair of Halo. Adds serious ambiance to an already cool looking game. Now imagine playing this game with that music, in the dark, trying to complete a circle of hell dreading what the next one will be like. The last time I had something like that happen to me was when I was playing Doom (original). I can't wait to get it...

    agreed, and im not saying your wrong, just giving a valid reason why people who care would say something like that. on top of that, my comment wasn't even about that, it was about addressing your inaccurate comments on Christianity and Christians, which i found kind of offensive, not only for misrepresenting Christianity, but also judging and stereotyping them as a whole. my question is how do people like that ruin the gaming industry? there hasnt been a game thats been canceled because of the public since that airplane game around 9-11, and the only game that's been toned down since then because of the esbr, not the public is manhunt 2. retarded parents may cause people to think badly of the gaming industry, but in no way does it ruin the industry.

    this game looks sick, no doubt, but that scythe looks kind of gaudy. Maybe they'll clean it up a little.

    @Truthbetold101

    Could you imagine if over 100,000 kids that were 5 and under watched and played this at there age along with other horrific things,... it influenced there day to day lives all through there lives negativly... oh wait, that allready happens with games like gta4

    Those 5-year-olds shouldn't even have access to that game, it's irresponsible parents and others who ruin the gaming industry for the rest of us. Noone would have a reason to complain if people were smarter.

    (PURE AWE) ... THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD...GOD OF WAR 3 HAS A CONTENDER. IF what we see here..is the actual gameplay...then YES. THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD...I just hope..the gameplay LASTS FOR A LONG TIME and most important..THE COMBAT MECHANIC better be as INTUITIVE as it is REACTIVE. STOKED.Nonetheless.

    Holy crap that baby part was badass lmao xD Well, I'm an atheist.. but I am seriously excited for this game... I may not believe in the stuff, but I know the story behind each thing so Its interesting as hell to me. This is either going to be one of The Biggest games next year, or on of The Biggest let downs of the year. I Cannot Wait!

    @punchultimate
    you are so right. they could have even just called it "dantes inferno Relived" or "revisited" Something that posses this more as a tribute may have made all the difference in opinions of the hardcore fans of the poem.

    This has a story you care about unlike GoW. And I want this game so bad, EA is doing better with M rated now.

    once again the reason this game has such a strong god of war style is because they brought they guy that worked on god of war to help design this game as well

  • woonsa

    Posted Nov 13, 2009 8:25 pm PT

    I don't care if this is a GoW copycat or not, I want this game. NOW!

    @ wonzan

    No, these are the circles of Hell. Purgatory is treated in the second poem of the trilogy, the "Purgatorio."

  • wonzan

    Posted Nov 13, 2009 11:25 am PT

    I thought that the poem referred to these places as levels of purgatory? Not hell proper. Or am I mistaken?

    This game will be so epic, everytime when a new layer is availabe it get's more and more interesting....

    O my God I read same where that EA is cutting over 1,000 gobs closing seven studios and canceling one dozen game developments. I hope this game is not on the list to be axed because EA did not specify what game they are canceling or if not this game maybe this game is going over budget. Because this game looks amazing the graphics are awesome.

    @dudu22
    Well, it is not a christian game, but what u mean with subliminal content? Have you read the original poem? I was written by a christian man who depicts the travel of his soul from hell to heaven. It definately gives the christian point of view that most people had during the XVth century about hell.

  • punchultimate

    Posted Nov 12, 2009 9:28 am PT

    @Crabs4sale it could still be Dante's inferno. it would just be someone else going through Dante's inferno. if you go into my house i would still call it my house even though someone else slaying demons in it. lol

    Damn this is looking like some uber visceral, balls-to-the-wall, white knuckle goodness.

    It wouldn't be "Dante's" Inferno then ;D

  • punchultimate

    Posted Nov 11, 2009 2:32 pm PT

    this game looks awesome, but i think they should've made you play as some dude going through hell instead of dante alleghiri(sp?) because they might have received less criticism for that and since this dante is so different from the book's they could have changed the name and been fine.

  • dragongamer56

  • dudu22

    Posted Nov 11, 2009 4:41 am PT

    Yeah! the game is a must-have one
    i dont think this is a christian game, though, and there may be lots of subliminal content too. nevertheless, a cool one!

    The visuals in this game look stunning. Visceral did a nice job with Dead Space Extraction. Looking forward to giving this a try.

  • breathnac

    i wana get this game more and more

  • uglypinkmoose

    Posted Nov 10, 2009 6:10 pm PT

    ok honestly i don't care but if you have been watching all the updates for Dante's Inferno the game really is big time ripping off GOW
    ok yes the gameplay looks similar but who cares
    what i'm talking about is how Dante is suppose to be an a$$
    kratos wasn't a good guy either.. also the artsy skits that tell the story are very similar to the ones in GOW
    their doing such a good job with the game though it's like who gives a f#ck i just wish they could add an idea of their own besides it being in hell and all
    the judging system is new though so thats cool

  • uglypinkmoose

    Posted Nov 10, 2009 6:03 pm PT

    @Soapweed

    @ Se7en18sHiNoBi
    You know just because god of war might be the best hack an slash doesnt mean it should be the only good hack and slash. Im a fan of the game and the genre. I can still love god of war and still appreciate all the awesome things this game will have.

  • Soapweed

    Posted Nov 10, 2009 5:24 pm PT

    NG Sigma 1 and 2, God of War 3, now Dante's Inferno? It's good to have a PS3.
