Grog: I never thought i'd say this, but....the trailer looks decent. It's also absurd if you know who Dante was and what he has written, but it doesn't look too bad.
Especially if you look at that landscape of mouths seen at the end (probably representing Gluttony). If they're going for that type of art direction it MIGHT turn out decent. A sort of "Dante's Inferno as directed by Guillermo Del Toro" :)
However, i still can't get my mind around the fact that Dante looks like that.
Just take a look at what Dante looked like and you'll see what i mean.
Yeah, I think you have a point -- if it wasn't for Dante, it'd be easier for me to be positive about this. Still, twisting the story to something totally traditional and overdone (the Beatrice thing)...and basically fitting the game into an exact God of War mold.....really pisses me off. GoW seems good and all, but it's been DONE. I want something NEW and DIFFERENT. I think a really nice and original touch would be to do the game in its original language with subtitles. How fucking cool would that be?
The Dante comparison was done in the article. ;)
