Dante's Inferno features baby-killing

EA's video game adaptation of Dante's Inferno is supposedly going to let you kill some babies. Don't worry, though -- they were never baptized so they're obviously evil.

According to writer, producer, director, and baby-killer Jonathan Knight, the babies "seem harmless at first, but once they start ganging up on you, they're harder to kill."

Yes, where do we draw the line? Personally, I like the quote from the magazine guy. I wouldn't feel too bad about it since they aren't real.

h0tz0rz5484d ago

I'd have to see what these babies look like first. I didn't have a problem killing dogs in COD because they were viciously attacking me, but I also could never bring myself to attack any kids in Fallout 3.

Twizlex5484d ago

Can you even kill the kids in Fallout 3? The only time I tried was in the black and white virtual reality place I kept beating on this little boy but he never died.

L80BelfDK5484d ago

No, you can't kill kids in Fallout 3. Believe me, I tried :)

Jamegohanssj55484d ago

Mother focking awesome! I always wanted this in a GTA, but I just hope this game is good enough to catch my eye.

MK_Red5484d ago

You couldn't kill babies in Fallout 3 because Bethesda is too much of a p****. Fallout 2 had baby killing and it was awesome. It brought lots of negative karma along with a "baby killer" tag.

Dante's Inferno FTW! I mean, these are games not real life things. Killing millions of people in generic shooter 2478423578 is ok by people but killing babies in a dark post apocalyptic world is wrong? Shame on you Bethesda. EA FTW!

SL1M DADDY5484d ago

Although, my two children never had tentacles coming out of their backs and never scaled walls while slinging blades at me... If they are anything like that then yeah, I will take them out in the game.

MisterNiwa5484d ago

Wow, you sure are a very ill-minded person.

Disgraceful.

7thNightvolley5484d ago

that is y i will rip the babies a new one.

MiloGarret5484d ago (Edited 5484d ago )

Yeah, seems like someone at that studio REALLY hates babies.

Bob Dole5484d ago

Sometimes you just gotta stomp babies.

himdeel5484d ago (Edited 5484d ago )

...depends on how the babies look and what they're doing. The second an infant scales a wall and swings a sharp object at you not using the most anatomically correct appendage...they have to die.

IaMs125484d ago

Its just like Doom3 those freaking baby Cherub things lol

skottey5484d ago

My biggest complaint with fallout 3 was that you couldn't kill kids. Especially that little brat running Little Lamplight.

ThanatosDMC5483d ago (Edited 5483d ago )

Babies in Dead Space scared me... those babies are evil little freaks of nature. After i shoot them to death, i get close and brutally stomp on them to make sure!

I wanted to kill everyone in the Country of Dave or whatever you call it in Fallout 3. But i was only able to kill the adults. Oh well, the unique weapon was worth the slaughter. I didnt know how to get it any other way.

Cookigaki would slaughter anything and everything. They are demon babies anyways so who cares.

Milk is for Babies5484d ago

Me too. I don't care what it is, even innocent little girls. Think of all the people you kill in the Katamari games!

DelbertGrady5484d ago

I would love to see baby eating in games. Why not do Cooking Mama for the Wii but with babies instead of vegetables? Baby Cannibal Mama. With death metal soundtrack to boot.

Bob Dole5484d ago

Bob Dole wants to kill zombie babies. That's the ultimate.

I dream about that every night, with 'I Cum Blood' by Cannibal Corpse playing in the background.

Cookigaki5484d ago

Who cares about GOW ripoff anyways. Cookigaki hopes it will be good because more good games = more to play, but Cookigaki not really interested in this game yet.

Vault Boy5484d ago

I would have to slightly disagree with the GOW clone, because you could then say that GOW is a ripoff of Devil May Cry, all FPS's are ripoffs of Wolfenstein, all JRPG's are ripoffs of Final Fantasy, etc.

Milk is for Babies5484d ago

Yeah, all sandbox games were GTA clones until it actually became it's own genre. Someone has to do something first but that doesn't mean everything after it is a ripoff.

Twizlex5484d ago

Justin Timberlake is still a ripoff of Michael Jackson, except less white.

Twizlex5484d ago

Hahaha, who doesn't? I just hope they aren't all one color because I don't want some kind of RE5-like claim of racism to plague the game.

L80BelfDK5484d ago

"I have gleefully and willingly skewered a plump pack of screaming babies with a huge scythe, and I look forward to doing it again."

LOLS!!!!

GhostScholar211d ago (Edited 211d ago )

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

gold_drake211d ago

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

Cacabunga211d 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👍🏽

Rancegamerx211d ago

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

Cacabunga211d ago

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

H9211d 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

GooGobbler211d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666211d ago

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

ravens52211d ago

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

gpimlott210d ago

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

ravens52210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara200d 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.

Christopher211d ago (Edited 211d 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.

ravens52211d 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.

savedsynner211d 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

ravens52210d ago

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

Nerdmaster211d 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.

-Foxtrot211d 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.

Nerdmaster210d 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.

BrainSyphoned211d ago

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

H9211d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1211d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake211d ago (Edited 211d ago )

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

Nerdmaster210d 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.

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

LoveSpuds555d ago (Edited 555d 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.

Inverno555d 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_Suzumiya555d 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.

Hellcat2020555d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds555d 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_Suzumiya555d ago

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

refocusedman555d ago

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

YoungKingDoran554d 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

darthv721512d ago

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

Silly gameAr1510d ago

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

Ratchet751510d ago

It's the only GOW clone around. 😉

specialguest1510d ago

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

darthv721510d ago

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

Ratchet751510d 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.

Kombatologist1508d 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.
