EA just launched a playable demo of their upcoming title Dante's Inferno yesterday, a beefy 1 GB download, featuring the first level of the game, 'Gates of Hell'. If imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, Kratos is flushed blood red right now.
My big takeaway from the demo was a really shocking lack of personality.
There are good video game protagonists, and there are bad video game protagonists.
I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.
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.
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
Grab your katana, and slice your way through this list featuring the best hack and slash games the PlayStation 3 had to offer.
Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.
heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.
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.
Dante's Inferno at 4K 60FPS!
Sad this may never get the sequel it deserves. It's still one of the best GoW clones around.
I would love to revisit my old PS3 games played at a higher framerate and resolution. UC2, TLOU, GOW3, KZ2 & 3, Demon Souls
Figures the Sony faithful are quick to bash this game.
Honestly, I think Bayonetta will be more innovative than either of them.
Dual console owner, and I've never played a God of War game (missed last generation entirely, sadly), so my first GoW experience was with the GoW3 demo, and it was pretty cool.
I just finished playing Dante's Inferno demo and I must say I enjoyed it more than the GoW3 demo.
That's not to say DI will be better than GoW3, I just enjoyed the demo more.
I think the other thing to remember is that the GOW3 demo is from an old build, while the DI demo is pretty much from the retail build of the game.
thats my only complaint. After playing the demo of DI and Bayonetta i will be getting both. Q1 2010 is shaping up to be and expensive one for me.
This demo was enjoyable and i am eager see how the developers vision of the story unfolds. Everyone is crying foul over the game play style of this game in comparison to GOW3. Fine if you want to complain about that and miss out on a good game with storyline steeped in real literature then so be it. I am not discrediting GOW3 for what it is ( A very good game and franchise). I just feel people are missing out on the fact that DI is created from a piece of literary genius.
Now if the game misrepresents the book to a severe degree then i will be the first to scream foul. But in all honesty stop bashing the game and give it a chance to come out.
