Dante's Inferno (awesome)

You might have heard the rumours about an EA game based on Dante's Inferno.

Today the trailer was unveiled by Kim Kardashian at VGA:

"It's based on a book," Kardashian laughed on tonight's Spike Video Game Awards

Yeah well no ****.

Looks pretty cool. I hope it delivers like Dead Space did.

Also, for maximum facepalm, read the comments:

???
is that dante's father?
is this before devil may cry?

*cough*

Err... why no love for Dante?:(

If those THINGS in the teaser make it into the game, it will be my most wanted upcoming title.

*runs to the shelf to grab the Divine Comedy*

That site always puts 360 and PS3 first.

The official site of the game has no info regarding the platforms, but it's from the same studio that developed Dead Space. So we can be sure it's coming to PC and it will be a quality game.

Complaining about Dante kicking ass is like complaining about Age of Mythology, Titan Quest or any game inspired by tales.

The first viewings of Dante's Inferno suggest the action adventure will be very similar to God of War.

The button mappings are almost identical, according to the latest issue of PSM3 magazine, and enemies can be smashed into the air and juggled around using simple combos that mix light and heavy attacks.

Magical abilities will also feature, and fallen enemies will spill health and magic orbs that replenish respective status bars.

Quick-Time Events make an appearance too, we're told, and will allow the sort of impressive battle sequences we're used to: in this case a house-sized monster can be scaled and ridden around like something out of the circus.

But what developer EA Redwood Shores (Dead Space) hopes will make Dante's Inferno different is the setting: a contemporary conception of purgatory and hell, which, in this case, will spout twisted monstrosities and unpleasant and eerie scenes-a-plenty.

And with Dead Space as a reference point, our hopes are high.

Platforms and release dates are still to be confirmed. But, what this being a PS3 preview, we can safely speculate on an Xbox 360 counterpart and a PC accompaniment.

We'll be bringing you our lengthy and in-depth thoughts on Dante's Inferno soon.

I'm guessing this game is going to be VERY loosely based around Dante's Inferno if you're killing demons and riding a house-sized monster. Would be so much better as a story driven adventure/horror survival game with very little to no combat, but that's hard to market to the console crowd.PTMags

What about a story driven adventure/horror survival game with huge amounts of ass-kicking? Like Dead Space...
