Jonathan Knight the fanboy hyper states, "Knight said the team did their best to stick to the source, but weren't afraid to diverge from Aligheri's work."

Hahahah ahaha!! They put Beatrice in Hell and tehy made fun of Dante's religion!!!! Hahahahahahhahahahha ahahahah!!!

And sounds like the gameplay sucks too!!!

"it's a compliment to be mentioned in the same sentence as that storied franchise"

Please... when you make a game that feels and plays damn close (even the way the camera moves!) to what God of War does... its only natural to be compared to it... When I played the demo, all I could think was "wow, this feels like GOW..." Unsurprisingly my friends made the same comment.

Now I am not saying that GOW was not influenced by other action games, but I am saying that of all the action games out there none feel like GOW besides this one. GOW did not feel like a knock off of anothers and took its own original steps. Anyhow... I am sure this will be tested by all that reads this... but that is my 2cents...
I completely agreed after playing the demo the only difference is the story line and the moral decsion making parts of the game i also found the fact that i could not control the camer really annonying coz at certain pints in the game u cant really see and you really want to move the camera

Dragging Beatrice down into hell, and having it be because she lost faith
with Dante, is in a way one of the biggest slaps in the face of this game.
Beatrice was the epitome of purity, and the game in a way defiled her--and if
nothing else, Dante's image of her--by having her taken to Hell in the way she
was. They took away her saintliness (whether it was real or imagined by Dante
for his own poetic reasons I leave to y'all; Dante himself referred to her as
"the glorious lady of my mind") and the things that made her special to the real
Dante, all for the sake of creating a MacGuffin--game!Dante needed a reason to
fight his way through Hell, and hey, Beatrice is the woman Dante loved (...will
refrain from going off on just what "courtly love" is and why EA is failing so
hard at groking that "courtly love" and "love" as we see it are not the same
thing), so she'll do! Drag her down into Hell! And make it so she chose to
go!

Jonathan Knight & Dante's Inferno: "#EAFail is a total clusterfuck of misogyny and pandering to the lowest common denominator. "

#EAFail is a total clusterfuck of misogyny and pandering to the lowest common denominator. Here are a bunch of resources on it. (Last updated August 3 at 10:00 PM EST.)

No. No it is not. First off, the poem itself is called "The Comedy",
Inferno is one of the canticles. Secondly, the entire poem is an excuse for
Dante to rant about politics. Under no possible understanding of the work is
this game adapted from the source material. Yes, it takes place in Hell, but
Dante's structure of Hell and the demarcations of different sins relative to
each other borrows heavily from Ovid's work, so you could just as easily call
this game "Ovid's Metamorphosis" and be just as right!

serious issues with pretty much everything having to do with EA's "Dante's Inferno."

http://community.livejournal.com/intelligamers/11739.html

I have serious issues with pretty much everything having to do with EA's "Dante's Inferno." And for the sake of my sanity, I'm going to refer to the game as "DI" and the actually poem as Dante's Inferno or The Inferno, for the sake of cutting down on confusion and because it almost physically pains me to attach Dante to EA's travesty.

There's a lot about DI I hate that I could write a tome about, including its marketing, but this post is very specifically about the imagery of women in the game, focusing on Beatrice (and oh, man, I'm seriously wishing I had my notes from college from the class on Dante I took--part of my hate of this game stems from the fact that I love The Divine Comedy, and EA has turned it into a pathetic God of War clone) and all the things they've done so wrong with her.

More Jonathan Knight EA FAIL: "We talked about the absurdity of Dante's Inferno becoming a game"

http://www.craveonline.com/gaming/article/three-literary-epics-that-deserve-game-remakes-94737

We talked about the absurdity of Dante's Inferno becoming a game and then earning a new cover because of said game during last week's Next Gen News (check that, by the way). Then, Penny Arcade went ahead and took it to a whole new level with their comic featuring the most epic cover of Moby Dick I've ever seen.

Former EA Exec Predicts Dante's Inferno Game Will Epic #EAFAIL!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2010/jan/14/games-controversy

"But by far the greatest failure of Riccitiello's strategy has been the EA Games
division. JR bet his tenure on EA's ability to "grow their way through the
transition" to digital/online with hit packaged goods titles. They honestly
believed that they had a decade to make this transition (I think it's more like
2-3 years). Since the recurring-revenue sports titles were already "booked"
(i.e., fully accounted for in the Wall Street estimates) it fell to EA Games to
make hits that could move the needle. It's been a very ugly scene, indeed. From
Spore, to Dead Space, to Mirror's Edge, to Need for Speed: Undercover, it's been
one expensive commercial disappointment for EA Games after another. Not to
mention the shut-down of Pandemic, half of the justification for EA's $850MM
acquisition of Bioware-Pandemic. And don't think that Dante's Inferno, or
Knights of the Old Republic, is going to make it all better. It's a bankrupt
strategy."
