More Dante's Inferno details unleashed

PSM3 has revealed further details on the legendary lore and gameplay mechanics that may interest initially apathetic gamers in the title.

Simon_Brezhnev5571d ago (Edited 5571d ago )

- The game shares the exact same control scheme as God of War, even down to Circle being used to open chests.

so dis suppose to be a god of war clone?

Freak of Nature5570d ago

They are comparing it to "Dead Space meets God of War"...

If I recall,their are 4 major movie studios in a bidding war for the movie rights...

I like the idea of a "knight with magic powers” to suit the tone of the game...Perhaps more depth than just a hack and slash button masher.

I don't know if it will be anywhere near GOW or even Dead space,but it does have me interested.

DelbertGrady5570d ago

I couldn't care less. It's from the team that made Dead Space! That's enough to make me excited as hell!

Myst5571d ago

Loved the divine comedy back when I read it in high school, but something about this game just doesn't seem all that appealing to me.

Like the idea, but something about turning Dante who was at first more so afraid of the inferno and limbo before now becoming a knight who is ready to 'kick ass.' Overall I might try a demo and maybe rent it if not buy it (if I find it to be quite a bit of fun), but overall I'd say there is just something about it; it may just be because I haven't seen game play or anything as of yet. I guess I should wait before passing judgment on this game until I've seen some game play action :).

Gambit075571d ago

Actually, he'll be kicking ass for the lord.

It's from Dead Space team, so it should be good.

ThanatosDMC5570d ago

Meh, i'd rather have Dante Sparda kick ass for the Lord...

LeonSKennedy4Life5570d ago

Was that a Dead Alive (AKA - Brain Dead) reference?

lord_of_balrogs5571d ago

We'll see from the demo before I decide. The art direction looks nice though. I hope it goes well for EA.

Unicron5570d ago

There are sights of true terror in The Divine Comedy. PLEASE don't mess this up, and PLEASE use Gustav Dore's woodcuts as inspiration!

GhostScholar231d ago (Edited 231d ago )

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

gold_drake231d ago

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

Cacabunga231d 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👍🏽

Rancegamerx231d ago

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

Cacabunga231d ago

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

H9231d 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

GooGobbler231d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666231d ago

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

ravens52231d ago

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

gpimlott230d ago

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

ravens52230d ago (Edited 230d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara220d 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.

Christopher231d ago (Edited 231d 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.

ravens52231d 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.

savedsynner231d 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

ravens52230d ago

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

Nerdmaster231d 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.

-Foxtrot231d 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.

Nerdmaster231d 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.

BrainSyphoned231d ago

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

H9231d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1231d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake231d ago (Edited 231d ago )

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

Nerdmaster231d 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.

gold_drake231d ago (Edited 231d ago )

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

LoveSpuds575d ago (Edited 575d 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.

Inverno575d 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_Suzumiya575d 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.

Hellcat2020575d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds575d 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_Suzumiya575d ago

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

refocusedman575d ago

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

YoungKingDoran575d 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

darthv721532d ago

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

Silly gameAr1530d ago

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

Ratchet751530d ago

It's the only GOW clone around. 😉

specialguest1530d ago

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

darthv721530d ago

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

Ratchet751530d 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.

Kombatologist1529d 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.
