    I can't quite figure out why, precisely, they're trying to offend part of their audience. I mean. They are trying to offend Christians, right? Between the fake protest and this?

    I honestly do not get it. Do they think religious folk don't play games or have something against Dante's Inferno (the poem)?

    Ugh.

    Anycase, if you really were making a marketing message I'd actually rather purchase a product that's more tangentially related to the story line than something that just takes it and translates it into a made for DVD cartoon gore fest.

    And if you were serious about getting a bunch of acclaimed creators onboard to create their own unique vision, why not have them each envision a different circle of hell. Or of course, you just have them create stories inside your version of the 9 circles. 9 teams for 9 circles, makes perfect marketing sense to me. And it would probably have resulted in a more interesting product.

    These guys know how to make an impact. They couldn't make a bigger mess if they went and poked all the hornet nests in the world.

    I love it.

    @Ethereus: It's like a marketing agency where the artists run the asylum rather than the stats folks. I really doubt the game itself will explore renaissance Catholicism's conceptions of sin and Dante's response. I am curious about how the game will present the virtuous pagans - a thorny issue in Dante's time.

    I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel, too: EA/Bioware presents Milton's Paradise Lost: a prelapsarian RPG.

    Something about how aggressively this is being marketed makes me think this game is not going to be very good.

    @Inkmonkey: I think the fact that it is going to be violent/gory/gruesome and based off a literary "classic" makes them think they have to sell it more. From all I've seen it looks like they've been working really hard on this game.

    @GodhandX: Slight correction, The Inferno is a classic - no quotes needed - and the poem itself is pretty gory, at least it was for its time. Secondly, it's really only based on the mythos which predated The Inferno itself.
    @Bouchart: Was it really necessary to insert some annoyed post in reply to every thread about how you don't like a game that's not even released yet?
    @Inkmonkey: If you believe that aggressive marketing makes a game crap then Brutal Legend and MW2 must be crap on golden platters.

    I'm fairly certain Dante's Inferno is being marketed by someone from a mental ward at this point, I really, really do.

    No denying its success though.

    In reply to Another Magic Moment From Battlefield: Bad Company 2
    Anyone else playing the beta? It's grand. It really has a great feel to it.

    In just two hours with the beta, I have already had a few "magic" moments personally, where I was just thinking "wow. THAT was awesome." Particularly, when another sniper and I were creeping along the long outer edge of the map, and saw two enemies in the distance camped out in a bus. He took the left, I the right, and we simultaneously took those players out. It was just like a scripted moment in MW2, except it was real. It could not have been more perfect. Other moments were just as exciting- piloting the UAV heli, skimming the ground so as not to get it shot down, then suddenly coming face to face with two tanks. Quickly climbing way into the air, and sending a rocket down right on top them, then zooming all the way back to the base buzzing directly over enemy players. Awesome fun.

    Anyone else want to form a proper squad, and play this game a little more realistically? At the moment, everyone is just sort of running around death-match style. Still a lot of fun, but I crave a little more organization and role playing.

    My offer still stands. First game to offer a 1968 Mercury Cougar either in-game or as DLC will get my money that I've not spent on a "realistic racing sim" since I bought Forza2, PGR3/4 used.
