What are your impressions of Dante's Inferno?

Gamespot has just released a new preview for Dante's Inferno. Quite frankly when i first heard about the game I kinda brushed it off since most beat-em-up games tend to either be too short or too redundant for my tastes. I must say though that I am now a bit excited and a bit mad.

Excited cause the game looks really good and creative.

Mad cause with all the great games coming out early 2010 I dont know how I will be able to play em all. I guess my social life will soon be on suspension.

its not coming out on 360?

It seems like they are giving the 360 the cold shoulder. The reason I don't understand is because Dante's Inferno is a blatent God of War clone (for better or worse) which the PS3 obviously already has. So either they are geting money from Sony (though I can't imagine why) or maybe they think they can compete with GoW, which they can't.capthavic

I'm disappointed by this. I don't feel like supporting a product if I feel the publisher/developer is not treating me as good as other customers. And I wouldn't buy it until after a healthy price drop (or used) if it were not for the crazy preorder offer by GameStop in Denmark (essentially 20% of the normal price).

That said: From what I have seen in trailers, the game promises a great story, great voice acting, great atmosphere, great graphics and an epic portrayal of themes that so familiar. All delivered for a mature audience and freed from the "political correctness" of titles targeted a younger audience.

The gameplay genre may not be my favorite (and who gives a d... if it's a god of war rip off, I never owned a playstation so I have never played that), but I am still looking forward to it. Especially the story.

You guys need to relax. I have both consoles and the XB360 usually gets the demos first so the fact that Sony got an exclusive for once isn't EA giving XB360 owners the shaft. If anybody should feel marginalized regarding demos it's PS3 owners.

I loved the demo. It was solid and fun all around. I pre-ordered the Divine Edition for PS3 after playing it.

its a rent not a buy..ONLY for the story

I would feel the same if I were a PS3 owner and got screwed. But I wasn't really referring to the demo, there COULD be all sorts of good reasons why they are not released at the same time, they are after all different products and have to pass certification requirements for the respective platforms and could have different bugs etc.

I was referring to the Divine edition which is an exclusive free-bee for PS3. But there has been alot of that going on lately especially from EA (*cough*brütal legend*cough*), and I think it sucks.
