You said visceral impact in a non ironic way. Commence laughter.neojubei said:Playing the DI demo again I have to agree the gameplay has no identity, not that it blatantly copies god of war but does not provide that visceral impact that the God of War game has. X-men origins: Wolverine had that visceral impact in its gameplay. The moment you lunged into someone claws first or in God of War rip someone in half with you bare-hands, Dante's Inferno doesn't really have this. I'm assuming Visceral Games will try and go for the shock factor and see how many gory, weird, insane looking monster they can throw at Dante but in the end the gameplay probably would not be as satisfying, but I could be wrong since this is just a demo. I'll admit the cross weapon is a pretty cool projectile weapon, however overall I am disappointed in the character design and characterization of Dante the protagonist and the gameplay of the demo. I think I will still buy this game but I will wait for a price drop or if the game gets some good reviews.

I've downloaded most if not all of the developer's diaries on Euro PSN. The DI demo didn't really capture me as much as the God of War 3 demo and Wolverine game.

Fimbulvetr said:No, this is dumb.
Lucifer is kind of a pussy in the Divine Comedy. They better not make him the final boss of this game or I swear....
Nemesis556 said:Pretty sure that's already been confirmed.
Fimbulvetr said:Link, I need to see it then proceed to facepalm.
KevinCow said:Well I think it's pretty much a given that you're gonna fight Lucifer at some point. Final boss or not, I really doubt they're going to make him a huge pussy for that fight.

Dante said:The emperor of the woeful realm from his midbreast issued forth from the ice; and I match better with a giant, than the giants do with his arms. See now how great must be that whole which corresponds to such parts. If he was as fair as he now is foul, and against his Maker lifted up his brow, surely may all tribulation proceed from him. Oh how great a marvel it seemed to me, when I saw three faces on his head! one in front, and that was red; the others were two that were joined to this above the very middle of each shoulder, and they were joined together at the place of the crest; and the right seemed between white and yellow, the left was such to sight as those who come from where the Nile flows valleyward. Beneath each came forth two great wings, of size befitting so huge a bird. Sails of the sea never saw I such. They had no feathers, but their fashion was of a bat; and he was flapping them so that three winds went forth from him, whereby Cocytus was all congealed. With six eyes he was weeping, and over three chins trickled the tears and bloody drivel. With each mouth he was crushing a sinner with his teeth, in manner of a brake, so that he thus was making three of them woeful. To the one in front the biting was nothing to the clawing, so that sometimes his spine remained all stripped of skin.
"That soul up there which has the greatest punishment," said the Master, "is Judas Iscariot, who has his head within, and plies his legs outside. Of the other two who have their heads down, he who hangs from the black muzzle is Brutus; see how he writhes and says no word; and the other is Cassius, who seems so large-limbed. But the night is rising again, and now we must depart, for we have seen the whole."
Neuromancer said:I don't know where people are getting this idea that Satan was some kind of pantywaist in the original story, but then I guess it doesn't surprise me so few people here have read it.
Dude's a fucking colossus, half stuck in the ice, with huge bat wings and he's eating three people at the same time.
So yeah. Give a hoot, read a fucking book.
Well he's being punished, not sure what the point of calling him useless is. Useless to who?Fimbulvetr said:When Dante and Virgil attempted to climb down Satan's body to get to purgatory, Satan could do nothing.
Despite his size and grotesque form he was still a pathetic sack of shit stuck in a lake of ice.
"Satan himself is represented as a giant, terrifying beast, weeping tears from his six eyes, which mix with the traitors' blood sickeningly. He is waist deep in ice, and beats his six wings as if trying to escape, but the icy wind that emanates only further ensures his imprisonment (as well as that of the others in the ring)."
Pussy was the wrong thing to say, impotent and useless. There.

Anyway that bit you looked up on Wikipedia was probably more research than anyone at Visceral did so I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. It's not as though in the original story, Dante fought Death and won his big bone scythe, and then stitched a red cross all over his chest.

The stabbing was purposely cheesy and so were the other cut scenes. These guys can do serious, well done cut scenes.MacBosse said:You know, Gow could use a healthy amount of competition. And lets not judge the whole game just yet ...
I thought the demo was great (minus the awkward stabbing of Dante). My money is on Visceral, I don't think they will let me down.
charsace said:The stabbing was purposely cheesy and so were the other cut scenes. These guys can do serious, well done cut scenes.
The whole game is a joke. They purposely made it with the intent of being a lame, cheesy mash up nonsense. Once the scene of Dante getting stabbed in the back happened I realized that they purposely made the game cheesy and lame. Pay attention to the voice acting. The VO for Dante is serious, but the rest of them are purposely cheesy and lame, especially death. The voice work for death reminds me of CSOTN version of death. Look at the design of Dante so lame and purposely cheesy. Watch some of the dev interviews and gameplay vids. There is nothing serious about this game. Everything in regards to this game is intentionally off.MacBosse said:I know Visceral did awesome cutscenes in Dead Space (and there were other cool cutscenes in the demo of Dante's Inferno) but I fail to see why they would make such a crucial moment in the game so "cheesy" (plain bad in my opinion). Anyone care to enlighten me?
I like it when I get people all mad.KevinCow said:Oh, shut up. Of course they did their research and read the fucking book. They're entirely aware that didn't happen. They just don't give a shit.
BluWacky said:I should have turned the subtitles on to see if Death's lines were ALL IN CAPSLOCK...
lsslave said:Interestingly enough I am seeing more and more people playing the little facebook game and getting hyped for the game.
The guys running the marketing for this game SERIOUSLY deserve a lot more work, EA should have them work for every single team they have because they really raise awareness AND interest in it (lets face it, FB is HUGE and a great thing to tap into since everyone I know plays free FB games)

They aren't pushing this as an epic or badass game. This game was made for the lols. This game is more god hand in the way the story feels than it is God of War.
I saw an interview where the guys asked one of the devs what this game has. One of the bullet points was, "Tittays everywhere!," and then a video of a monster with tits shooting out monsters was played.Dyno said:The Dev. Diaries have lengthy interviews with the key people on this project and that is not the vibe they are giving off at all. They were really earnest in their desire to portray the Circles of Hell in ways that are shocking and arresting.
EzLink said:I played through the demo and had a good time with it, but there's no way in hell (lol) that I'll be able to play this shit because of the fucking text. Once again SD TV owners are second rate customers. Absolute bullshit, I couldn't read a goddam thing. Whatever, not like this is a AAA title anyway

TheUglyDrunk said:I don't get it either. I'll start by saying I'm not a huge fan of this genre, I did enjoy the GOW games, but I never got into any of the DMCs or Ninja Gaiden. Having played this and the Bayonetta demo, I enjoyed Inferno more, but I can't really seeing myself purchasing either till the price point hits 20$ or so.
I cannot fathom how someone who likes GOW wouldn't like this game. Is platform or license love truly this blind?

To be fair, testing should be done on both HDTVs and SDTVs.Blue Heeler said:You're right, let's hold back the technology until the UN can affirm that everyone is represented in their God given rights to play a videogame in HD.
It's 2010, get an HDTV if you want to play HD games.

FrostuTheNinja said:I finally got around to playing the demo and it seems like Visceral knows what they're doing. A+ developer.
Smooth controls, cool art, great level design, all the hooks.
Anyway, back to Darksiders...
