PS3 Attitude: Dante's Inferno demo impressions; take us to Hell

From PS3 Attitude, "In Dante's Inferno, Dante will find himself at the gates of Hell, Death's scythe in hand, determined to rescue his love Beatrice from the clutches of Lucifer himself. But before we enter the fiery depths of the underworld, we must find how Dante came to this point..."

its good, its just not God of War good. But still some people might like the lore in Dante's Inferno cause of its realistic approach in religion. But when it comes to gameplay GOW > Everything else.

Madis0075290d ago

Very good demo but still...Something was missing for me. I would say cambo maybe. I dont know. This boss fighting system is bad. I mean.

You jump and make some cambo but boss dosent get hit always.
And then again Boss make some cambo,you get hit and then when you attack him again and he attacks you then you fail again cambo.

nycredude5290d ago

I agree it seemed this is just 100% copy of GOW that is half as good. Missing the epicness, the soul, and polish of GOW. I also notice it has sever hit detection issues. You are in the air performing a combo and the beast stomps it's foot no where near you and you get hit. I am trying to hit it and it doesn't work. The fight against Death sucks and feels cheap and cheesy. Plus Dante is a wuss and isn't the least bit interesting.

dorron5290d ago

Not bad, but not good enough. I think I'll buy it when it's about 20€...

interrergator5290d ago

ill buy it day one purchase idk which system i should buy it for

KYU21305290d ago

i have not played the demo but i have noticed that very few people have anything constructive to say about the game. They immediately compare it to GOWIII demo and put it down. Only one person has given a real reason as to why it doesn't play well. Everyone else in my opinion is trashing the game based on the fact it is a multiplat and GOWIII is an exclusive. I personally own 2 PS3's and love every min of it. but i am not gonna bias a good or even a decent game because its a multiplat. i need a real review of the game and real opinions

nycredude5290d ago

KYU

Maybe you should play the demo playing talking. Why do you need a review to judge when there is a demo. Like you said you have 2 Ps3 so what is stopping you from judging yourself?

Play it and you will see why everyone is down on it. It is 100% plagerism!!!!!! I was siked but i couldn't help but be disgusted at how much the game copies!

You want an honest opinion. Here it is. The game looks good but has low res textures. The pace is very fast. Controls are smooth but not as smooth as GOW. The couple of bosses are not that great in the demo. The story is a bit inconsistent. The main character is weak sauce. Has severe hit detection issues. EVERYTHING is copied from GOW. From button layout, combos, quick time, health and magic fountains, rage mode, magic, upgrade system, story presentation, EVERYTHING! Demo even has a portion where you have to kill all enemies to move on before you get crushed by a wheel which was in GOW 2!!!!

MY advice if it's GOW you want and you own a Ps3 then buy GOW instead cause this is a cheap copy, abeit a decent one, but a copy nonetheless, and copies are NEVER as good as the original.

jalen2475290d ago

I love my PS3 but I am not blindly biased towards it. I own a lot of games and I pretty much play through every demo that is released. I love Dead Space and Dead Space Extraction. I support Visceral games. I want DI to be the best game it can possibly be because I love hack and slash games with GOW being my favorite gaming franchise. Honestly...The game is really good but just not up to GOW levels of greatness. It is honestly a GOW clone. And yes, it isn't as good as GOW III if their respective demos are any indication of the final products. I would recommend that if you are a hack and slash fan such as myself...you should buy GOW III, Dante's Inferno, Bayonetta, Darksiders, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and GOW Collections because they are all excellent games worth your hard earned cash. But if you are strapped for cash there is only 1 logical choice and that is GOW III.

GhostScholar249d ago (Edited 249d ago )

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

gold_drake248d ago

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

Cacabunga248d 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👍🏽

Rancegamerx248d ago

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

Cacabunga248d ago

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

H9248d 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

GooGobbler249d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666248d ago

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

ravens52248d ago

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

gpimlott247d ago

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

ravens52247d ago (Edited 247d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara237d 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.

Christopher248d ago (Edited 248d 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.

ravens52248d 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.

savedsynner248d 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

ravens52247d ago

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

Nerdmaster249d 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.

-Foxtrot248d 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.

Nerdmaster248d 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.

BrainSyphoned248d ago

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

H9248d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1248d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake248d ago (Edited 248d ago )

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

Nerdmaster248d 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.

LoveSpuds592d ago (Edited 592d 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.

Inverno592d 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_Suzumiya592d 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.

Hellcat2020592d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds592d 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_Suzumiya592d ago

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

refocusedman592d ago

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

YoungKingDoran592d 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

darthv721549d ago

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

Silly gameAr1547d ago

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

Ratchet751547d ago

It's the only GOW clone around. 😉

specialguest1548d ago

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

darthv721547d ago

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

Ratchet751547d 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.

Kombatologist1546d 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.
