Thread: Dante's Inferno (Video Game)

I cannot fuckin' wait to play this game. I played the demo, and it was one of the most awesome games I've ever seen. Definitely going to give God of War 3 a run for its money. Purely from a design standpoint, this game is just breathtaking. It's twisted and disturbing beyond imagination, but so compelling and impressive at the same time. Just amazing.

For those of you who aren't familiar with it, just check out the vids below:
(Warning: EXTREMELY graphic content ahead.)

Dante's Inferno is very loosely based on the first part of Dante's Divine Comedy. The player controls Dante, a veteran of the Third Crusade, who chases his beloved Beatrice and attempts to free her soul from Lucifer, who needs to wed a heaven-bound soul to break free of Hell and make another attempt to take over the Throne of God. As his pursuit takes him through the monstrous entities within the nine Circles of Hell to save Beatrice, Dante must face his own sins, his family's past and his war crimes.

The 9 Circles of Hell

The First Circle: Limbo
The Second Circle: Lust
The Third Circle: Gluttony
The Fourth Circle: Greed
The Fifth Circle: Anger
The Sixth Circle: Heresy
The Seventh Circle: Violence
The Eigth Circle: Fraud
The Ninth Circle: Treachery

Holy crap, that looks incredible. I really need to get around to saving up for a 360.

There is an animated epic too.

I got it on opening day. I got it based on the demo too. It's pretty insane, but there's definitely some work that could have been done.

Dante is so strong it's hard not to completely destroy all of the enemies easily. Which sounds cool, but I'd like harder or longer fights sometimes, just so I could work up my combos and really get into them.

Leveling up and purchasing new moves is somewhat confusing since it's not really explained.

The puzzles are cool for the most part, but for some of them it's not explained at all what you're supposed to do, and the camera can be distant so it's hard to see what's going on. The camera is perfect 99% of the time, though.

Also the game is short, at least so far. I'm on the fourth circle, Greed, and I've put under 5 hours into the game, and I mess around a lot. Each circle of hell takes easily under an hour on the hardest difficulty. Seriously, it's like, platforming, enemies, puzzle, enemies, boss. And that is the end of each level. Each section feels disjointed, but it's nice to break up the fighting.

There's a few minor annoyances as well, like they go overboard on those timed button presses as in Resident Evil, and the redemption of souls goes into a very strange DDR kind of thing, but the game is a lot of fun.

What's sick though is that there's going to be a co-op multiplayer downloadable segment coming out in April. One character is Dante and the other is St. Lucia, who is like a gaurdian angel figure. You will also be able to make your own challenges.

The game is definitely awesome though. I wish I had a PS3 so I could play God of War.

looks like doom3 in medieval times, gore is good blood is good, the game looks sweet on tv, i just saw the commercial...what system is it on?

I have ps3 so im assuming its not for ps3?

(why don't devs just make games for all consoles ffs like the old days)

Sucks to hear that it's so short. That's usually the main failure of great games like this. There are far too many good games that could have been so much longer. I'm sure they have the space for it. Makes you wonder why the devs don't take this into account more often.

It's on PS3 and Xbox.

I have a PS3, too. Are you online? My account is Cog_Nizant.
