Purkake Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 What's with the bad 80s cartoons? It's all part of the "artistic vision". Also something called "Dante's Inferno An Animated Epic" which comes with the collectors edition AFAIK, probably to bring the epic to the new generation with awesome nude chicks and buckets of blood.

Pidesco Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 They should do an action game version of The Trial, while they are at it.

Purkake Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 I'd like a Schindler's List platformer on the DS, to bring the classic to the new generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purkake Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Dante's Inferno, the first part of the Divine Comedy to get reprinted with an all-new cover: (from Kotaku) One title not highlighted by EA CEO John Riccitiello today was the release of Dante Alighieri's Inferno, part of The Divine Comedy. Yes, that's the book, soon to be republished bearing the Dante's Inferno video game's likeness. Edited January 12, 2010 by Purkake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purkake Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 He's not just bad, he's hardcore. I mean he stitched a fricking cross on his chest for no good reason, that's how bad he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowtrain Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I'm trying to imagine some kid playing the game, loving it, then going out and getting the book... Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Slowtrain Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Next up Gone with the Wind as a survival horror game complete with blowtorches, spiked clubs, and zombies. Lots of zombies.

Purkake Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Well, these two are real novels, but at least they are parodies. I think they're making a movie out of the first one with Natalie Portman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musopticon? Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 We own both books, I actually bought Sea Monsters one two weeks ago. I hope they make Pride and Prejudice into a survival horror game. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Bad. Not just bad, it's insulting. This is literally culture rape. "Alright, I've been thinking.

mrmud Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Bad. Not just bad, it's insulting. This is literally culture rape. But as slowtrain mentioned it will all be worth it to see the look on the kids faces when they pick up the book and expect it to be anything like the game.

I'm interested in the game and I don't mind the fact they are using a classic story and changing it into an action game... that said... this is a joke right? If not...

zerexaki Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) I'm wondering if there's a Dante's Inferno graphic novel out there. Because that could be cool. There was one loosely based on Dante's Inferno called Sinergy by Caliber Press. It was a pretty good adaption. It was originally a 5 issue mini-series and then released as a graphic novel published in the early 90's. Here's another preview link to the Graphic Novel.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I would buy that game purely for the comedic value. "Alright, I've been thinking.

Purkake Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) Some more gameplay further into the game, it's pretty NSFW as well. Looks like they figured that they had way too many characters and anyone who wouldn't make an awesome villain can be found along the road somewhere and brutally murdered. In the 20 minutes of the video they have already found and brutally murdered Pontius Pilate and Orpheus.
