Hey, how bout that Dante’s Inferno? I hear that it has hacking, slashing, and a protagonist that slams large crucifixes into devils’ heads. Y’know, just like the original source material.
For those of you interested in the aforementioned violence, there’s a trailer after the jump that features some of it. If it looks sort of familiar, that’s because we posted the teaser for this trailer that EA sent out two days ago. This extended version shows Dante getting knocked off a tower and fighting some enemies. And some trapped souls getting stepped on by his ride. Jerk, he could have at least steered around them.
There are also some screens for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PSP versions of the game to check out in the gallery, along with some artwork, if still images are more you thing.
Boy that was some awfully stiff character model animation when he fell off that tower...
Also I wish the game had a more distinct style to it. It just looks very generic medieval-setting design for me. It's very...Beowulf in its look. That's not bad at all...just not very interesting. And we have that uncanny valley thing going on with the characters' faces.
Still hoping this'll be a good game. It has some great source material working for it. Hope they don't mess it up.

Its nice to see EA, going with this kind of product, and I pray it does well.
Looks spiffy though, I wonder how much they'll actually borrow from the original Dante's Inferno, and how much they'll just pull out of their ass.
