GameZone interviewed Wayne Barlowe, an artist for Dante's Inferno, recently.
GameZone writes,
"There are so many elements that must combine to create a game worthy of note. From the combat elements to the depth of the story and up through the sound and graphics, each is part of the overall formula that can either make a game unforgettable or compelling, or succumb it collecting dust as a cast-off.
One element that has the most profound and immediate impact is the visual aspect of a game. The look of the game will either resonate with potential gamers, or potentially turn them off.
Wayne Barlowe is the artist behind EA's forthcoming Dante's Inferno. He is the son of natural history artists Sy and Dorothea Barlowe and launched his own professional career in 1979 with his self-generated book, Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials. From books to paintings to television and film, Barlowe's artistic exploits are widespread. "
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
Interesting interview, sounds like a cool guy.
Artwork looks intersting but as for the game itself...meh -_-
Haha I don't think it will happen, but I hope this game randomly ends up absolutely amazing, and blows away all the haters.
