Dante's Inferno

[The Chaver]

I just downloaded the demo on my new PS3 and I like it a lot. I've never played GOW before so I couldn't compare the two, but to say this game is a "yawn" is just ludacris! I guess if your in the mind set that this game is a rip off, then there's nothing more to say. You should just learn appreciate good games whether there similar or not.

The graphics did look pretty damn sharp though. But that may be cause I'm playing it on my PS3 1080p monitor VS my 720p tv xbox.

I"m just now getting into the God of War games, but I still find this game fun so far. I'm not sure what other people are looking at, but the game looks pretty darn good to me and the demo is pretty fun and entertaining.

Since we're comparing this to GoW anyway, I have a question for those who played GoW:
1) Are the graphics as good if not better than DI?
2) Are the cutscenes bloodier and risque (ie, nude) like DI?

If the answer to that GoW questions is yes on both, then I may be in the market for the GoW 2-pack.

This reminds me of when people were comparing Starcraft to Command & Conquer (ok, so maybe I am showing my age). Point being, if you build it, and it kicks ass, people will play both just cos the more the merrier!

^^^Its not really fair to compare DI to the previous God of War games since they were on the PS2. I haven't played the GoW demo yet so I don't know how good the graphics are in it, but I have no doubt that they'll be great.

 

[IrishJedi]

It is. The demo is like playing a subpar God of War game. Nothing about it feels fresh, it's a complete and utter rip off of GOW, deliberate so much down to even how to restore health and mana. I was bored with it. Plus the graphics....thumbs down. Yuk.

I guess it's only redeeming factor are polygon ****s?

... or maybe the fact that it's Dante's freakin' Inferno from THE DIVINE COMEDY, one of the best pieces of literature in existence?

 

[Radagaster]

true that. The whole GoW is based on some modern person's imagination. DI is off of Dante's actual book.

 

[plasmid303]

Tried the demo today, I liked it. For what it is (a shameless GoW rip-off), it's still technically competent and fun. And it runs at a smooth, fast framerate.

The ****s were a distraction (not in a good way). They seemed more like pandering to a juvenile audience that a choice of artistic merit. I mean, it could be both, but it felt like the former more than anything else.

Just got my Order in For Dante's Inferno Death Edition
I don't care what people say about the game I'm in it for the experience, and the Visual Interpretation of the Divine Comedy

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Hmm... I never had interest to read the actual books, is this something worth picking up and reading??

 

[NosferatuBill36]

Can't wait for this. Will be pre-ordering tonight!

Pretty sure that has to do with the fact that you've committed treason and have never played any of the GOW games.

Awesome, like Challenge of the gods/titans in the middle of gaming.
Love the backgrounds and designs.
A pal of mine thinks this´ll only be like good middlefield, comparing it god of war, cause god of war is huge, which it is.
But only middlefield sounds way unrealistic, or not?

 

[TheHulk]

Have not yet played the demo since im still playing assassins creed 1 damn i gots some catching up to do, but i have no thoughts that it will be totally bad ass

 

[crowinghorse]

EA bought a really awesome 30 second spot for this during 4th quarter of Super Bowl - should be pretty sweet to see it and see the response!
