Dante's Inferno gets PS3-exclusive 'Divine Edition' photo

Visceral Games and Electronic Arts are showing the PlayStation 3 a lot of love with Dante's Inferno

First, a demo for the game goes live on PlayStation Network first later today. Now, the developer and publisher have announced a special edition exclusive for the PS3. Called "Divine Edition," the game will ship with extra developer commentary, a Wayne Barlowe digital art book, the soundtrack, and a digital version of the Longfellow translation of Dante Aligieri's Inferno

This of course isn't a "special edition," because it's the standard edition -- all PS3 versions of the game will come with these extras, for the standard $59.99 price. PS3 version of Dante's Inferno is blatantly better than Xbox 360 version of Dante's Inferno confirmed?

SCORE ONE FOR DA TR3Y!!1!!11! LOLOLOLOL

Seriously, I think it's an awesome move that another developer is giving us extra goodies at the standard price. Assuming this is limited, the deal is excellent. More devs should do this.

Gosh, seems EA and Visceral are scared shitless of God of War 3...

I was getting this game on PS3 regardless. Still, it's nice to see EA and Visceral Games putting this edition forward at no extra cost.

EA knows that a huge number of PS3 owners are GofW fans, in fact that is the only reason I bought my PS3 when I did, so they're simply trying to capitalize on that fact. Where Xbox owners are generally more inclined to by-pass a game like this in favour of a FPS/community based games, according to most stats that I've seen. Personally I hope this game is awesome so that I can warm myself up for God of War 3.

@Black Nexus:

I just recently saw some God of War III stuff I'm just dying to talk about (but can't), and let me assure you: the E3 demo is absolutely nothing compared to what they have in store.

As for Dante's Inferno, I'll have some demo impressions and video later this afternoon. I can't say much, but you probably won't want to miss it.

They are desperate. Dante's Inferno got a much tougher crow on the PS3. Launching along GoW3, Yakuza 3 and Bayonetta. The beat-them-up competition for Q1-2010 is on fire

Make Kratos a playable character in this and it's a day-one purchase.

"and a digital version of the Longfellow translation of Dante Aligieri's Inferno."

I AM PLEASED.

Also, apparently 2010 is the year of 3rd person ACTION games and they all look good.

There's nothing wrong with the God of War III demo. It is great. I'm just saying, you haven't seen a thing yet.

Not different enough to offset the love of Achievement Points.....

Now if it actually had extra game content rather than a digital version of Dante's works.....maybe.

Wow, 30 comments in and everything is civil, that impresses me. If I get this game, I'd probably go for PS3 anyway, since its my preferred console when things are equal, so I guess this would push it over the edge.

As far as buying it though, hmm, its up against all those games I was looking forward to this year that got pushed to 2010, so it might need to wait.

I do applaud the ingenuity though.

for some reason, when i first saw this game, i thought that it would wind up a 360 exclusive. i thought dante would be the 360's challenge to "KRATOS". and they get to play it today..

It's civil because the exclusive stuff is for ps3. It's hard for the SDF to attack something good for them, though there are a few comments =D

I will agree with dreadhawk for sure.

Gotta say, still not on my top ten list. Also, why the fuck would I want a digital copy of Inferno? I have the book and absolutely hated it. Extra commentary makes sense, though, as they have more room on Bluray Disc for extra content.

For some reason I have no interest in GoW III but Dante's Inferno is really interesting me.

If this get's good reviews, it will definitely be my first PS3-multiplat purchase. Free extra stuff beats getting to add to my achievement score, by a mile!!!! I'm not touching it, until after I've played GoW3, of course. That game is going to sell a lot of PS3's to us 360 owners.

could it possibly also be because there simply wasn't enough space on the 360 version and they didn't want to ship 2 discs? i feel like they wouldn't make one system's version better than the other if they didn't have to... if they had the same content as the PS3 version on the 360 version then they would probably get more sales on the 360 netting them more total sales, no?

I can't see it on the PSN store and it looks like there have been updates today already so I'm guessing the demo isn't going to be out today :(

I gotta hand it to their marketing and PR guys, they do one hell of a job keeping the game's name alive and rolling until release.

Really surprised this doesn't happen more often with third-party titles that appear on both the 360 and PS3 since I'm sure there's plenty of space left on the PS3 version of these titles.

PS3 action games I'm buying next year:

Bayonetta
Dante's Inferno
Darksiders
GoW Collection
GoW 3
Metal Gear Solid: Rising
Ninja Gaiden ∑ 2
SW:tFU Sith Edition
SW:tFU II

Castlevania: LotS (?)
Final Fantasy Versus XIII (?)

The only non-action PS3 games I'm looking forward to right now are Red Dead Redemption and The Last Guardian.

When I got to see this at E3 '09 I was super excited for it, the thing seemed so cool. Then they released the demo... argh. That was ridiculously lackluster gameplay at its finest. The thing isn't terribly bad but that most certainly wasn't a good demo and if it's indicative of the final product then I fear for the game. Ah well, there's one game off the list.
