    Wow, EA, very nice job. Thought it was just a satire.

    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.

    Holy. Freaking. Crap. In. A. Bucket.

    I would be very, very interested in learning how they did that. That has got to be the most awesome trailer I have ever seen ever. But that guy at the end, was he cross-eyed? #residentevilthedarksidechronic...

    @andrewwyatt: Like all magic tricks, the explanation behind it is actually pretty simple - The entire top area of that trailer is one giant flash movie (the Racoon City AD is a dead giveaway), so they can pretty much do whatever they want to that area during the trailer. And flash interactivity is not uncommon - just look at all the flash games out there!

    It is expertly executed though, even though I see it coming a mile and a half away. #residentevilthedarksidechronic...

    @jamuszero: Yeah, looking at the side ads kind of throws it. Like the ad on the right showing a guy who looks suspiciously like Wesker. It really is all smoke and mirrors, but they're excellently placed smoke and mirrors. #residentevilthedarksidechronic...

    Great marketing. It won't make me go out to buy a Wii (again) to play this, but if I had a Wii I would definitely think twice about it, then not buy it.

    However, getting me engaged and doing something I've never seen before goes a long way in my mind for future purchases, even though rail shooters aren't my thing. #residentevilthedarksidechronic...
