haha i just watched that trailer and i have to admit it looks super trashy. I love the remark the one guy makes about limbo, which in the book is just a place of general tranquillity where the dudes hang out who were born before Jesus forgave everyone (or was that the right hell?) anyway, what are you gonna do in the game? slaughter those guys just because they are sitting around? "the moment you step into limbo you know you're in hell." anyway, i think it looks funny. you probably could have fun just laughing your ass off about the funny errors + that 2 huge dogdeamons in the beginning of the trailer look awesome  |

Well at least they are really excited and motivated, rather then being like whatever this will get us money.

Ha, that's hilarious. (Not that I'm in any way advocating monetarily endorsing this product.)
It really is the sort of thing that someone would write into a work of fiction. It's like an imaginary videogame from a William Gibson novel.

It would be slightly amusing if someone took a passage of the story and rewrote the details (writing style intact) so it fits the spirit of videogame, then post it on their msg board, claiming the videogame is actually faithful to the spirit of the source material.
Dante always lands super cool crouching, cracking the ground, fury in his eyes (looking up from under a hood? Hoods are the shit nowadays, if you didn't know.)
Then he runs off with the weapon behind him (like videogame ninjas always do).
It's mandatory to 'Parkour' up on a giant monster.
...and everything has tits, spikes and skulls, but mostly tits.

Arne is upset on the lack of panty-clad demon girls.

uhm, it would be something like Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita, mi ritrovai per una selva oscura che la diritta via era smarrita. All'inferno me ne andai a recare un po' di guai. Con uno sguardo da gradasso feci il culo a Satanasso.  (Maybe only corpus will be able to understand that  ) |

I read a manga version of Dante's Inferno once, but it was pretty terrible. Ironically I found it more dense and difficult to read than the original text.

Yeah holy shit, Im reading Walter Moers' "Wild ride through the night" right now and he uses lots of Dore illustrations out of context. Instantly made me want to read the Divine Comedy, hahaha. |

And here's the video of the whole game being completed  Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita,
mi ritrovai per una selva oscura
che la diritta via era smarrita.
All'inferno me ne andai
a recare un po' di guai.
Con uno sguardo da gradasso
feci il culo a Satanasso. That's just brilliant Did you whip it up on the fly?!? |

The good thing about this groundbreaking game is that now that EA has started a trend of creating games out of books completely ill suited to doing so, we can finally have Gravity's Rainbow: The Game made properly as a hardcore realistic WWII FPS, nazi slaughtering and all.
As a fresh, patriotic young cadet with no personality issues, can you save America from the Germans?
