If I was a bad dude, the last damsel I would choose to distress is one who pals around with a large guy named Dante, who just happens to carry around a scythe composed of bone and sinew all hours of the afternoon. But bad guys rarely make reasonable decisions, it seems, and that holds true in Dante's Inferno.
After watching the above, it’s plain to me now that I’m now made of the same stuff that a villain is, but that lesson wasn’t really the point. Rather, the video is supposed to give the viewer a sense of the game’s story elements. And I think I got it: girl - life + Hell = Dante searching in Hell for life of girl.
I’m not sure where boss battles factor into that equation. I’m still working out the kinks in my grand formula.
You'd think the average guy would just shrug his shoulders and go find some hookers after that happens. NO SIR. NOT DANTE. Apparently that girl is worth more than eternal torment. She must put out.
although, as a catholic schooled person... if it has any Nuns wielding cricket bats with shit eating grins on their faces, then this game may just encapsulate each and every one of my childhood fears.
i wonder if they make night lights for 30 yr olds...
Hell had better be at least 10x as badass as theyre making Dante out to be.
Then after this is done, I'd like to see someone else tackle The Inferno in a different manner.
I wonder if EA will make sequels to this and explain why he fights through Purgatorio and Paradiso, if they follow the actual Divine Comedy. Anyone ever read Birk and Sanders' modern adaptation, making L.A. Inferno, San Francisco Paradiso? It's a charming read with amazing illustrations!
I noticed in the trailer (1:55) Dante getting pretty close to the demon/boss that we've seen before as the main bad guy in the "Lust" section. After seeing that and considering the theme of that section of the game, the question occurred to me, do you eventually beat that particular boss by raping her?
@TheHunter234: I thought exactly the same thing. It's looking that way. Maybe it's not rape, though... just because of all of the action scenes thrown in around it, it may not actually be an action scene itself. Perhaps it's rather a seduction scene. But it's really anyone's bet at this point, there's no telling what's going on in the story. It's not like you could compare this to Inferno very easily.
Considering the relative success of Dante's Inferno (both commercially and for the most part, critically), it's not surprising to guess that Visceral Games might be working on a follow up. But a job listing making the rounds ...
When Rey Guitierrez asked me to do some video interviews at E3 I was worried, mainly because cameras make me nervous and I assume everybody will hate everything I say. Turns out people actually liked them, so I figured, what...
