Before I talk about what you’re about to see here, I must admit to something I never thought I would actually admit to. Last November, I had played the Dead Space demo created by the same group of developers making Dante’s Inferno. Well to me, and I still believe what I said at the time, the demo was a disaster. But with much encouragement from some friends to put my bitterness about the demo aside, I finally played the game. To make a long story short, the demo did not do the game justice at all. Dead Space was an incredible single player campaign experience and it quickly became one of my most favorite horror games of all time. This is why I am so excited to see what Visceral Games will be coming out with Dante’s Inferno.
Say what you will about the look and feel of Dante’s Inferno compared to God of War type games. Visceral has skyrocketed in my book as one of the most talented group of developers in the industry today. Visceral is definitely doing their own thing here, despite any comparison to other games already out. This video above, courtesy of That Videogame Blog, shows how much anger you can expect to experience in the 5th Circle of Hell.
Dante’s Inferno, thanks to the talented developers of Visceral Games, and for proving that talent already in Dead Space, is a must buy title on day one for me. Hands down, so stoked for this release!
Thanks to DIGGITY and everyone else who told me to basically shut up and play the damn game already. Anyone out there who has not played Dead Space yet, really is missing out. I was a critic, now I’m a believer.
