Dante's Inferno Video Diary Introduces Limbo, Explains 'It's All Downhill From There'

Kicking off a series of Dante's Inferno developer diaries, Visceral Games introduces Dante Alighieri's renowned epic poem and its vision of Hell's first circle, Limbo.

"I read the poem and thought right away like, 'that's a video game,'" enthuses one assistant producer. "Of course, each piece we sort of interpret a little bit differently," warns another, explaining why Dante is a scythe-wielding "over-the-top action hero."

Dante's Inferno bids you "Go to Hell" on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PSP next year.

This game doesn't look politically correct, but it does look cool. But, I see no PC release. Fail.

The cg trailer is really cool looking and if they can get the game to look anywhere near there it's going to have an absolutely unreal atmopshere. However, have they actually released any in-game stuff yet?

If their tech guys are even half as good as those at Sony Santa-Monica working on the God of War games this will probably be something special. Fingers crossed.

...also, fingers crossed they don't think QTEs are one of God of War's best assets.

Isn't it awful how a developer can come up with such a cool idea then dumb it down so very far into the depths of mediocrity by making it a beat-em-up?

For feck's sake, give me a game with some depth. The circles of hell and all the possible torments and sins contained therein should be explored with introspection and reflection, not a big guy with a scythe going, "Gluttonous sinner, chew on this! Lust-filled sinner, suck my blade! Violent sinner, explode into gibs!"

Christ. Where will it end?

The atmosphere looks good so far. Now all I need is to see some well done (and plentiful) gore and hear some black metal blasting in the background, and I'll be sold.

I think this sort of take on hell would be better suited to Doom 4 or some sort of Fallout 3 + Alan Wake + Heavy Rain adventure RPG game.

Looks like they are following the exact same formula as Dead Space with this one. Considering how well that turned out, I'm willing to give this the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully they can add something to the 3rd person action brawler genre though, as they're likely to come up way short if they can't shake the "GOW clone" stigma.

As an aside, I find it curious that this title looks way more "hellish" than Diablo 3, especially considering this is from EA :X

I still think this has to be some kind of elaborate spoof of the video game industry. This is just silly. "I just read Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment and of course you know what I thought: iPhone game of the year!"
