Spot the corporate PR spinner, trying to link the likely gameproduct with a poem. I've seen politicians that excercize more tact:P

"It might sound a little bit lofty to say that's what we're doing - or that he'd be proud of what we're doing - but I don't think it's that far off."
Nah, it sounds like absolute horseshit. It's like that Churchill the Early years film, only not a joke. If it were a point and click, or something, then he might be more likely to approve. |

One of the worst mechanics in GOW was the button pressing/quicktime boss killing stuff. One of the biggest immersion killers i've come across in my gaming life; you're not watching the action or killing stuff, you're looking for bright colored icons to appear and making sure you press them on time. How gamey. That has always looked better for people -watching- the game, because they can actually focus on the scripted kill. It's disturbing to see that this is becoming a gaming mainstay and is even touted as a cool mechanic in previews. Devs need to get creative here, not copy existing design choices.
I'm looking forward to seeing some actual reviews when the game's finally released, as is it's not on my watch list.

Quicktime events are no longer acceptable. As stated, they are surefire immersion killers and not only that, are deeply uninjoyable gameplay mechanics in their own right.
Tombraider:Underworld showed how to make a much more enjoyable alternative which doesnt distract you from the action but still limits your options allowing a more cinematic approach to an encounter. |

Take a step back and look what Redwood did for the survival horror genre; they made a genuinely scary game, something that the guys at Capcom forgot to put in Resi 5. I think Dante's Inferno could turn out to be another Dead Space; a great yet under appreciated game, though with a release of 2010 only time will tell. Looking forward to it though since there'll be no God of War for 360!

Cheesy PR lines aside, the odd thing about this is that it emphasis the source literature so much, when over at Kotaku they say that the limbo level had a completely different tone from that in the divine comedy. Which is it?

I'm suprised so many "gamers" have even read Dante's Inferno. I haven't. Not in the original form anyway. The novel adaption.
I don't see how it's a problem. Did people get so bent out of shape over God of War? Did they really save Private Ryan? Did 300 Spartans fight monster Rhinos? The Inferno is something they can really draw from. Draw hard. The question isn't "should they?" the question is "can they?" After Dead Space, I'm more than willing to give them a shot. |
