Amazing!! I wonder if EA will ever comment on this. I want another Dante's Inferno. The 1st was great

Abriael3062d ago

They probably won't. But I spoke with some of the developers at Gamescom and they really like it.

d_g3062d ago

yeah i had a lot of fun with the first one

hopefully there will be part 2.

Summons753062d ago

Yeah, huge missed opportunity for not making the rest of the Divine Comedy into games.

sullynathan3062d ago

The first was a god of war clone. Unless EA tries harder to differentiate in a supposed sequel, there is no need for it.

Aloy-Boyfriend3062d ago

Yeah it was a clone but the story was great and found it to be very unique. I wouldn't mind if they retain the same formula. That cliffhanger left me wating more. It was a fun game

lvl_headed_gmr3061d ago

I still enjoyed Dante's inferno more than I did God Of War.

Fin_The_Human3062d ago

Such an amazing game and very underated... This game deserves an HD remake or part two.

Come Phil go sponsor this game so you can have your God War competitor.

oh lawd a hack and slash game made by ND...

Ezz20133062d ago

Oh i would love to see that.

NotanotherReboot3062d ago

Stop trying to be overly mature ND. Go back to Jak and Daxter

Aloy-Boyfriend3062d ago

Jak and Daxter is done. Better move forward!

NotanotherReboot3062d ago

You're not PR for Sony, as much as you like to think you are.

mike32UK3062d ago

Why are you so god damn negative? I see you in countless articles doing nothing but moan and bi*tch. I also see your bubbles quickly depleting.

NotanotherReboot3062d ago

My opinions. No need to get upset over a conflicting opinion on the Internet, my friend.

TwoForce3062d ago (Edited 3062d ago )

@Frinker People have right reason to hate you. Because it's your insult, complain and trolling. Your reputation will be noted for the rest of internet.

Lukejrl3062d ago

He is a troll. If they did make a new jak and Daxter he would have something negative to say as well. It doesn't matter with people like him. And when someone asks they just say "well it is my opinion". When most he is most likely lying to goad people into responding to him. And with his reply in his head he is thinking we look stupid but really he isn't fooling anyone.

NotanotherReboot3062d ago

@Luke

What are you on about?
So anyone who wants Naughty Dog to develop a new Jak and Daxter is automatically deemed a troll?
So jak and daxter being my PSN avatar for 3 years is a troll move?
Is me buying the Jak and daxter HD collection and platinuming them a troll move?

sullynathan3062d ago

I'm really not sure how Naughty Dog is trying to be overly mature because one artist drew some fan art for a series that is already adult and gory.

GrontB3062d ago

The Last of Us says hello.

TwoForce3062d ago (Edited 3062d ago )

Even they are, they can't do it. They don't feel do the fan justice. Remember, ND gave us a concept art of Jak and Daxter Reboot. It has a realistic art style to it and they were scared that will cause fan angry. I think it time for them to move on and making new ip. @XikurapikaKurta is right.

kupomogli3062d ago

@Frinker

Don't you know that you have to type imo somewhere in everything you write otherwise people on the internet who have no common sense will make comments about you forcing your opinion on them as fact.

Aside from that, I've only played the first and second Jak and Daxter and while I thought the first was a great game, the second, despite being more fluid wasn't really any fun to me for the limited time I played it. Where you accepted your missions took a minimum of five minutes of back tracking back and forth in order to progress. That and some missions weren't very clear on where the item you were looking for was when outside of the city. I didn't play too long before I quit the game.

NotanotherReboot3062d ago

Thanks for a meaningful reply that dosen't try to claim i'm a troll. Jak 2 is one of my favourite games of all time, but it definitley has some flaws, like you just mentioned, that could put people off.

I just feel the series has more untapped potential and the ability to evolve than ND's other franchises.

Somehow this comment will be marked as trolling and downvoted , yet again.

TwoForce3062d ago

@Frinker That doesn't mean people forget what you are. You try downplayed on every PS articles.

kupomogli3060d ago (Edited 3060d ago )

@TwoForce

Regardless who the person is, you shouldn't mark them as trolling when they're not. That's discrimination. If the comment they're making has some relevancy towards the topic whether you agree with it or not, then it's not trolling, it's a differing opinion.

SoCalledMe3062d ago

The art on pages reminded me of Berserk a lot , sobbign again cuz were not getting Berserk game :(

mezati993062d ago

we do have Berserk game, it's called Dark souls

d_g3062d ago

Nah. Not Even close

UserNameIsNotTaken3062d ago

Bloodborne is closer but yeah, berserk is far from it.

kupomogli3062d ago (Edited 3062d ago )

Actually. We do have a Berserk game, but it's not called Dark Souls. It's called Sword of the Berserk Gut's Rage. It's a Dreamcast game and it was actually localized in the west.

GhostScholar228d ago (Edited 228d ago )

I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.

gold_drake228d ago

omg chloe was awful. i really hated her at the end haha

Cacabunga227d ago

Abby was absolute trash protagonist in every way..
Tidus was so meh to me..
On villain side, the one i didn’t like wa Micah, because they wanted him to be that way and it was brilliant👍🏽

Rancegamerx228d ago

I agree, I liked Max, Chloe was a horrible friend and a bad influence.

Cacabunga227d ago

Everyone agrees on chloe, I’m sure even ND do.

H9227d ago

Both are horrible, granted Chloe is infinitely worse, it feels like Chloe is just fanservice for people who too over the edge and wasn't written to be a character that makes sense

GooGobbler228d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666227d ago

exactly I was expecting it to be a the top of the list

ravens52227d ago

Ye I was expecting her too. Guess they actually played the game. Unlike you and whoever agrees.

gpimlott227d ago

I played through the whole game and think she is one of the worst character Ive ever played as

ravens52227d ago (Edited 227d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara217d ago

Why would I payed and played the game if the whole internet is making fun of a character?

-Im here to kill Chaos...are you Chaos?

Yeah, I didn't play that game either.

Christopher227d ago (Edited 227d ago )

She's actually not bad. It's the writing itself that is bad overall, but she's fine overall. She's no worse than Miles Morales IMHO. Both thrust into a spotlight and receiving both praise and blame and dealing with it.

Forspoken is a bland game because it's 75% bland, boring, repetitive going through the motions and diversions that add nothing of the value with purposefully gated memory moments that don't feel organic or like you're discovering things but waiting for others to reveal things.

ravens52227d ago

Exactly Chris. Even though I liked the game. I kno u played it. People who actually played it and went thru her dream saw she was a good likeable person who really just acted out due to being alone and unloved. I think your problem is it was open world, I think if it was more linear you may have liked it better.

savedsynner227d ago

Oh no she's bad. Very unlikable even before you add on the bad dialogue. The game could have been quite good with a good protagonist

ravens52227d ago

For all the people like synner. Shes actually half white lol. Inferior complexity is a hell of a thing. You'll be ok.

Nerdmaster228d ago

Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.

-Foxtrot228d ago

Squall is one of the best developed main FF characters so...

People talk about his "whatever" thing thats at the start of the game, not the character he eventually becomes in the end.

Nerdmaster227d ago

No amount of "character development", (especially the ones that for me feels sudden and undeserved like Squall's), will justify him being a d**k to my girl Quistis. Even if he found the cure for cancer, from that moment on, I would never like him.
The article is about being unlikeable, and he was indeed unlikeable for at least half of the game.

BrainSyphoned227d ago

Squall is the best protagonists in FF so you can go whatever yourself.

H9227d ago

My good sir, I need to steal that "you can go whatever yourself" because it's gold

BlaqMagiq1227d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake227d ago (Edited 227d ago )

the "watever" is only present in the english localisation.
so your argument doesnt rly ... stand imo.

Nerdmaster227d ago

Good for you that you could enjoy the japanese version. That's not the case for me and the majority of people here, though.

i had to stop reading after the "blatant misogyny" in the Dantes inferno section.

i actually liked Max haha.

the forspoken chick is missing tho

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds571d ago (Edited 571d ago )

I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.

I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.

Inverno571d ago

Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.

Yui_Suzumiya571d ago

Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.

Hellcat2020571d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds571d ago

Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?

Yui_Suzumiya571d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman571d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

YoungKingDoran571d ago

I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.

Wow
The effort here is overwhelming

darthv721528d ago

Sad this may never get the sequel it deserves. It's still one of the best GoW clones around.

Silly gameAr1526d ago

I agree. I still have my copy, but a sequel would have been awesome.

Ratchet751526d ago

It's the only GOW clone around. 😉

specialguest1527d ago

I would love to revisit my old PS3 games played at a higher framerate and resolution. UC2, TLOU, GOW3, KZ2 & 3, Demon Souls

darthv721526d ago

I know you can with UC2, TLoU and GoW3... just get the PS4 versions. Oh and i think Demon Souls as well.

Ratchet751526d ago

100% with u on that one.
Could you imagine a dead space on ps4/x1 and maybe a VR version.
And what about that Star Wars game they cancelled? They must have regretted it after seeing JFO's success.
This company is run by morons.

Kombatologist1525d ago

Yep. :( They care more about current trends than making a truly great game. It was their fault Dead Space 3 didn't do as well as 2 because, against the devs' wishes, they wanted it to have co-op because MuLtIpLaYeR > SiNgLePlAyEr. It's scary that companies like EA have so much influence on the industry.
