Dante's Inferno the Game

I'm a literature nerd so I'm probably biased but I think the Dante's Inferno game has potential. Dante goes through some hairy shit down there and it's chock full of awesome characters. It would take plenty of creative license and deviations from the canon but it could be sweet.

Also, if Gabe is reading this it would be sweet to have the final panel of December 15th's comic as a wallpaper of some sort.

    I'd prefer to see an entire game centered around Limbo

    Dante was kind of an effeminate pedo.

    Why the hell not, right? I mean, at this point they're pretty much just churning out sequels so any sort of new IP is good news.

    The party game or the edge of hell?

    Hey, I'm Gabe! That's a great idea you have! Expect to see the wallpaper on the front page within the next hour.

    I love how Dante drives a cross into some demon's skull in the trailer.

    This game will be splendid.

    In the first stage, Dante struggles with the fact he shouldn't even be in the game today.

    When I was in high school I knew a kid who thought it was really funny to hype himself up before playing a sport in gym or having a mock debate in class or whatever. People would buy into it and argue over having him on their team. Then once people started to notice how terrible he was he'd reveal that he was lying and laugh at people. He was a weird kid. But what I'm getting at is that maybe he was secretly John Romero and Daikatana was his form of self amusement.

    I'm just confused as to why he would be punishing the demons for punishing the damned.

    They're just doing their jobs man.

    The people are not damned, they are in purgatory. Big difference.

    this is Dante's Inferno, not Purgatorio, unless there is some false advertising at work
