EA has decided to take on the epic poem by Dante Alighieri, The Inferno, and turn it into a video game!One thought: "What the fuck?!"
I love how EA has been working lately, they really pull off the games they make. But I seriously wonder how they will do it with this.
In the Inferno, Dante the Pilgrim is basically anybody; they definitely used this fact to help develop a character. The poem is full of chaotic places (hence, being hell) and had it not been for Vergil, Dante the Pilgrim would definitely be in a bind, forcing himself to fight the demons that (did) seek to kill him.
Judging by the trailer they really stay true to the story. The art direction is looking pretty damn badass too. They even throw in the famous first lines of the en medias res opening in the forest. You see the forest, Beatrice, the second circle: Lust, the third circle: Glutton, with Cerberus, and possibly Satan or a Giant from the ninth circle. No sign of Virgil though.
