Interview: Dante's Inferno

Anyone who says the story of Inferno is "boring" and "not a lot happens" shouldn't have been expected to deliver any sort of faithful adaptation of the material, ha. I understand the distinction he's trying to make between the philosophy, themes versus the plot, but like...

The imagery and the themes are the story, guy. Was "waifu abducted by the Devil and you gotta go get her but oh no you were at fault" that much of a stronger story premise than Dante Alighieri's? There's a real dissonance between "we want to deliver on this guy's vision of Hell" and "but the story sucks so we made our own, lol," and I think that showed in the final game.

Thanks, "This Day in Giant Bomb!"

I cant stand guys like this who say kind of and sort of 10 times in every sentence

I remember seeing the beginning of the game where the main character is sewing something into his chest and then I was out.

dantes infuckno hell yea bitch
the fact that barlowe is involved is good
although the main character is lookin pretty shitty

Wow this made me really intrested.

this game looks ok but ive learnt over the years not to get my hopes up

hey in the backround u can hear Midnight Browns amazing song "FFF". Its great to hear more Midnight Brown on giant gomb

So kind of God of War gameplay meets DIablo 2 setting. Sounds awesome, much will depend on the controls and gameplay though. They have to make sure the hacking and slashing doesn't become too repetetive.

Did he just say Dante invented  the 7 deadly sins?

I am very intrigued with this.  EA seems to be on the right track.

sounds good

Brad is so corny with his jokes. cool guy though, when he's not wussin out of drink tests.

That song, i believe, is a new midnight brown song which Jeff hinted at on the gamespot forums a while back. It's sounds great.

oh god
that game looks so good

Looks amazing...

After Playing Dead Space, I have high opes for this release.

Also, what was the song playing in the background through most of the interview?

I don't know anything about the poem, so I just hope for a kickass game.

EA's doing really well so this should be good...

this looks really, really interesting.  the plot, art design and setting are perfect. probably the game im looking foreward to hearing more about the most right now.

Eh, I do kind of find it a little insulting...

WHAT!?  You mean this doesn't take place after the end of Devil May Cry 2 when Dante rides his motorcycle into hell!?  Oh what ever.  Calling it now:  2 start

Sounds really awesome! Great interview!

Black heaaaaaaaaarts
Black voiiiiiiiceeeeeees

...okay, I'll stop.

The 9 levels of hell setting sounds like it could be great. I love weird monsters and demons and stuff so I think I'll keep an eye on this one.

The character looks more appealing then it did in the VGA trailer

Brad could also use some more piazzas is his interviews

I'm glad when he said they arn't trying to get it done for christmas because it shows that it wont end up being rushed with missing or cut features due to time. Just hope they do a good PC port.

Game sounds awesome, I can't wait.  I just luv God of War/Fable 2 fighting mechanics with an AWESOME STORY LINE/SCRIPT.

-THX MR.KNIGHT for not rushing YOUR game in 09, take as much time as needed.

There's a lot of potential here.  It's nice to see EA continue the trend started with Mirror's Edge and Dead Space of more original games and less rehashed, recycled properties.  Although I can't help but think that there will be some God of War-esque gameplay (the brief cutscene hinted at that). 

All I have to say is, YES! Please spend your time to make sure this is not like "Clive Barker's Jericho." If this turns out like I hope it will be the greatest game of it's kind. And... Since everyone does it... I got the first comment!
