Dante's Inferno

Dante's Inferno is an upcoming third-person action adventure game to be published by ElectronicArts, and developed by EA Redwood Shores. The game is based off from a poem called The Divine Comedy. The game will be released somewhere in 2009, and will be on the PlayStation3, and Xbox360.

wow, i like ambition, but adapting Dante's inferno into a 3rd person shooter, well, that just sounds risky. Hopefully it will be more of an action adventure than a concrete 3rd person shooter.

It's not a shooter and they showed a trailer for Dante's Inferno on the VideoGameAwards.

Well the game is being developed by the same people who developed Dead Space so I don't see how they'll screw this one up.

Well lets take Beowulf for example. First it was a poem and years later, it turned into a movie and became a success.

Do you even understand what I'm trying to say here?

And yes, the Beowulf game was crap but lets get back on topic about Dante. I shouldn't've brought up Beowulf at all.

i do understand. the beowulf film was fine. a dante's inferno film would be fine.

games are just a different medium. i'm not saying it can't be done. i just hope it is done right...

Agreed. I doubt they'll have Dante or Virgil actually slaying demons and warding off the damned.

Uh you'll actually be slaying demons. The trailer did show some guy breaching into Hell and driving some sharp cross into a demons eye socket. Ouch.

I'm sure that they'll be changing some things from the poem so they can make this game a bit more entertaining. For some reason the game almost reminded me of Elder Scrolls Oblivion.

Next time, you could try actually reading what I said and getting a meaning out of it.

So what Kaliero, were you being sarcastic about there being no demon slayings?

Err, no, actually he said nothing remotely like there being no demon slayings.

What he said, which is pretty clear, is that it likely will not have Dante or Vergil slaying demons.

There's a world of difference between that and "there's no demon-killing".
