Dantes Inferno Cinematic Reaction

Dante's Inferno did such an outstanding job in bringing Hell to life. The artists and level designers outdid themselves beyond compare.

[@JJoJam]

I don't know which enemies featured in these cinematics, but I hope they scrubbed it before uploading. XD Otherwise, the algorithm is gonna have a field day. I fully agree, the devs did an outstanding job. I'm so pleased they didn't back down from the backlash. Fantastic thematic interpretations and incredibly satisfying gameplay, character and sound design.

Some trivia: >this game was developed by the same studio as Dead Space, which was unfortunately shut down by EA in 2017 >During the fight with Lucifer, his junk is hanging out, it even has its own physics. The developers actually toyed with the idea of including a cheat code that made it bigger the more you hit him lmao >The cross that Dante stitches to his chest contains a chronicle of all his sins, which is why it falls off on his own when he finally redeems himself, even though he still has all of purgatory to go through >The animated film based on this game (Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic) has a different animation studio for each circle of hell >The marketing campaign for this game was ridiculous, from offering $6.66 discounts on pre-orders to a Facebook app that let you condemn your friends to an eternity of "succubus castration". >Amazing cast for both the game and the movie, including Mark Hamill, Graham McTavish and Steve Blum.

This game is kinda based around Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy book called "Inferno". And it has two more novels of it. Purgatorio(Purgatory) and Paradiso(Paradise). But funny enough, the game Devil May Cry was loosely based from Dante Alighieri's "Inferno" novel.

Dante's Inferno was an excellent game. This was back when EA used to take chances and would not spare any expense for their devs to get stuff done. Not included here is the premiere trailer, which is fine because it contains an amazingly appropriate (and copywritten) song. But y'all should def check that too, if on your own time.

[@ChaosArdor]

This was such a good game. Brutally hard but it did a great depiction of hell and portraying the various circles focused around certain sins of man. This was one of those games I had to buy in secret and keep my parents from knowing about just because of the overall themes. But it's definitely worth a play. Also, the book of Dante's Inferno is a complete nightmare to read since its all just a really big and long poem of old english. But it's also one I couldn't put down once I started.

[@Spindler2007]

When I first saw the trailer for Dante's Inferno, I really wanted to play this game and I'm glad I did when it finally came out as the game developers did a really good job fleshing out each circle of Hell as they are described in the poem. One of my favourites has to be Gluttony as the landscape is nothing but flesh, guts and teeth. I also like how each circle is literally made out of souls of the damned which makes Hell in this game more horrifying and disturbing. One of the most disturbing moments for me has to be in Limbo when you enter a room where you fight unbaptised babies and you can hear these ghostly echoes of crying babies in the background after the fight which is pretty haunting. It's a pity this game never got a sequel as it was slated for being a God of War clone sometime after it's release.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

For those that have played this game it seems like a gem and a good, unique story (even if it’s based of Dante’s Inferno still felt fresh) 🙂

[@kyle1765]

The game is a lot like Silent Hill in that every single thing is a metaphor or symbolism. It centers around Dante descending through the rings of Hell, each representing a different sin, many of which Dante himself committed while on the crusades. His own lust is the reason his wife is killed and sentenced to Hell in the first place, he is guided by Vergil and goes through the layers of Hell often times facing his own crimes and fighting some pretty epic bosses, oft based on historical figures like Cleopatra, Marc Antony, and King Minos. Each layer of hell had it's own enemies too, which was really cool to see from fighting unbaptized babies to lucifer himself.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

I loved this game and it got me to read all 3 poems from the real Dante. The Divine Comedy is truly a work of art. Inferno is extremely haunting and grotesque but oddly intriguing. And obviously once you get to Paradiso, it sounds like a peaceful place. The game did take liberties but it more or less gives the same feelings the book does and follows the same path Dante in the story takes, a journey through the 9 circles of Hell itself.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

[@geddistopholes6785]

The advertising for this game was innovative yet kind of creepy as hell. Really good, fun game though with fantastic artwork and visuals, overall an interesting take on a classic piece of literature that also inspired Devil May Cry, which, along with God of War, in turn inspired the gameplay and presentation of this.

So, there is a lot you can unpack with this game lore wise. Infact the game has a system where your choices can get you a different ending. But yeah this Dante was not squeaky clean morals wise. He did some bad things as a crusader. And thought because the priest said it was OK that there would be no consequence. The lore of Dante's inferno has some good video reviews and discussions about what might truly be going on in the game. Especially since it draws heavily from the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. There is a lot of hellish horror in the game. The game mechanics were somewhat repetitive and lost their charm to some later in the game but the story was the main thing I liked about it.

[@giorgioguolo7196]

For context this game is based around Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy , one of the important literaly pieces in italian history. Dante himself is the most revered writer in the country, almost like Shakespear is in the english speaking world, and his opera is the fundation of modern italian. Dante from Devil May Cry is based on him and his brother, Vergil, is named after the roman poet who inspired the poet and appears in the Divine Comedy as a guide trough hell and purgatory. Overly Sarcastic Productions has a pretty good video on the guy for english speakers.

Thanks for the info and the channel rec for more 😀

[@tumulovermelho93]

The first video was a trailer, the rest of the compilation are most of the game's special CGI cutscenes. The last video, Dante's Redemption, was made by a professional animator trying to pitch a sequel. Unfortunately, the developers of Dante's Inferno, Visceral Games, were shut down by their parent company, Electronic Arts. It's unlikely that we will ever see a new Dante's Inferno game, which is a shame. It was based on the same work as Devil May Cry, The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri.

[@Crimson_Titan]

As someone who owns and has played through the game many times, I can attest to how enjoyable and captivating the story of this game is. For a little context, the game's story takes place during the crusades, and the main character is named after the famous poet who wrote the Divine Comedy, a 3-part series, the part (Inferno) of which this game is based on. Dante's character is a crusader who joined the crusades shortly before he was supposed to be wed to his lover, Beatrice, and to whom he pledged an oath of fealty shortly before his departure. As is with many wars, Dante wound up doing some fairly heinous stuff under the false belief that any actions the crusaders took would be forgiven (a lie they were told by a cardinal of the Catholic church). One of these actions included sleeping w/ a woman who was one of the prisoners mentioned at the beginning, in exchange for freeing her & her brother. This man is the who is seen stabbing Dante in the back, and murdering Dante's father & Beatrice. If you want to see more, I'd highly recommend watching (and maybe reacting, just saying) to a cutscene compilation of the game found here on YT: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3_SiZhrnNaZY68

[@kencadio]

For a better understand, i suggest to watch the cinematic, the ones in game. a soft abstract would be, Dante trying to save Beatrice, she die, then he challenge the Reaper (the dead in self), stole his scythe and murder him he descend through the 9 circles of hell while he face it and purges his own sins, several of it incarnated by their relatives an extra detail, the cross on his chest represents the sins he carries

he goes through all the sins to get to lucifer the end was purgatory

[@nicklancial7103]

I mean it was loosely based on the Divine Comedy (good book read it like 6 times) and considering it originally wasn't taken seriously only for the church to adopt it like 1-200 years later to scare the shit out of people to listen to them and not do bad things (like not "listen" to the church) this game was a dam work of genius they came out with a movie about it too where every circle Dante went to was designed by a different animator you should see what some of them looked like (I loved the Wrath ring) the problem is that in order to get all the abilities on a certain Alignment (Save/Condemn) you had to choose a side and stick with it and some of the souls you had to judge made it REALLY hard not to choose one over the other......dam shame it never got the sequel it deserved because the studio shut down since it looks like he ended up wherever Eden was although Darksiders got picked up and got the sequels it deserved maybe one day this will too

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Could be. Same studio did Dead Space as well? And that’s getting a reboot or remaster 🤔

[@morrisonscott1139]

A few things that I'd change about Dante's inferno is that I'd merge the interact button with the grab button, and the interact button would be button that switches between holy style and unholy style. Which means that with unholy style, we'd still have the unholy scythe moves but the cross would have unholy powers. In holy style, the cross has its usual holy moves but the scythe is blessed and has holy powers as well. The extensions of health, mana, redemption meter, relic slots and grab mechanic will be placed in the middle. I personally imagine DI having three endings after providing an option to punish or absolve Lucifer, the third option to re-imprison him. If Lucifer's re-imprisoned, than the ending we got will be the same, if he's punished than Dante will be forced to be the new king of hell, or if he's absolved than all of hell will begin to crumble, all souls get set free and only purgatory and heaven will be left. However, sin, conflict and death will still always exist in reality.

[@ericmartin8870]

Yeah for some reason this wasn't just trailers. This lineup looks like it started with the original cinematic trailer and ended with what I'm now understanding is a fan-made trailer attempting to drum up support for a sequel. The stuff in the middle was just all of the high resolution cinematic cutscenes (most of the in-game stuff was rendered with the in-game graphics or used a very different animation style). That said, I did really love this game when it came out. It followed the same sort of hack and slash adventure style as the early God of War games (everything before 2018's shift in direction) and Devil May Cry/BloodRayne etc. Loosely based on The Divine Comedy (at least, the first book of it), it followed the tale of Dante as he came home from the ravages of the Crusade to find his home ripped apart and family slain. Lucifer's shadow was there to claim the soul of Dante's wife Beatrice, who'd been damned by a wager she'd made in good faith defending her husband's name from Lucifer's insistence that Dante was no more virtuous than the rest of the soldiers of the war. The full truth and weight of Dante's sins are explored as he chases Beatrice's soul through each circle of Hell and learns about all of the sins of Man and himself. As one may expect from the subject matter, it was by FAR the most mature game of its type in both general concepts and the graphic nature of the content. The 2nd circle of Hell, Lust, was adorned with EXTREMELY graphic sexual imagery (picture doorways built to look like ONE set of naughtybits surrounded by pillars shaped like the OTHER type of naughty bits lol). As such, it's not the kind of game that got a lot of love from anyone but the most mature-minded gamers and was often held up as an example of how awful video games were by the people who took stances against them. Though it has a fanbase for sure (myself included), it had too much controversy and didn't quite make enough of a positive impact to end up getting the two sequels it was intended to (quite a shame, given that while it was a little similar to other games of its action genre, it was overall a very unique and enjoyable experience). I think the story is compelling enough and the imagery cool enough that you guys would probably enjoy a run through the main cinematics and story highlights similar to what you're doing with DMC3, but I imagine it's PROBABLY not the kind of content you want slapped all over your channel. Hoo-has and dingalings don't do well on KZbin and while that's only select portions of the game, the extreme violence throughout would likely not fare much better for you guys. So if you wanted to check it out, it'd probably be an "on your own time" kinda thing or something that would only end up being available to Patrons to avoid getting hassled by KZbin. Regardless, I'm glad you got to check out what you did. Hopefully Lucifer's wing-wang won't get you any flak from KZbin in that last big cutscene lol (at least it's fuzzy and easy to miss in the super hi-resolution cinematic, fighting him during his bossfight was difficult more because that thing was distracting as all Hell as it swung around like mad during the combat lololol).

For the uninformed Dante's Inferno is based off the 1,400 page book called The Divine Comedy. The game is only the 1st part of 3. Dante travels through the Inferno which is Hell, the second part is Purgatorio which is Purgatory, and the final part of his journey is through Paradisio or Heaven. If you don't want to watch all the cinematics or play the game there is a Dante's Inferno movie which was animated by a whole bunch of different animators and it's pretty good, it's a little jarring with how often the style changes in each major sequence but that was kinda the point.

I never played Dante's Inferno. But it reminds me of Castlevania Lords of Shadow. And i really enjoyed playing as Dracula in Lords of Shadow 2. The final battle was epic. Darcula vs Satan above the clouds on earth. It was almost at space. At the end they fall to the ground with Dracula the victor. That was a really fun game to play. Because i really like Dracula. But one of the hardest games i ever played. And believe me games are so easy to me on hardest. And i always play on hardest from the start. The thing about Lords of Shadow being hard. Is all thanks to the different combinations you need to remember how and when to use. And some foes are just immune to some combo. And only little combos work on them. The complexity of combos is the main issue. But theres a training room, or was it a challenge room? I used it for training 😅 You already saw the trailer of it. So you know what i'm talking about.

It was supposed to be all cinematic trailers according to the title of vid we watched and the all of a sudden it was like, nope, here’s the game 😯

[@Nimbus1701]

Love this game. Really wish it would at least be playable on PS Now. The o ly way I'm able to play it is on my PS3. Would love to see this title get a true 4k makeover though to play on the PS5. Fun fact: The Divine Edition of this game actually had as an option the poem by Dante Alighieri. My nephew hated reading when he was young, but loved movies and video games. Helped him learn to read by turning subtitles on games and movies. I remember that he enjoyed parts of the Divine Comedy (Inferno in this case), because he said it was "a scary story" (which it is), but he never got up not even to go to the bathroom when we were reading together because it fascinated him.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Games can be educational. Good story 🙂

[@nabilassal1571]

Nice reaction

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Glad you enjoyed it 😀

[@tumulovermelho93]

The story of Dante and Beatrice is very, very messed up. I don't know if you guys will check out the game so I don't know how you feel about spoilers, it's definitely worth a playthrough. The Super Bowl TV spot for this game was beautiful. Dante was not a good person, I can tell you that.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

We got a big gaming list so not sure if we will get around to this but it is interesting enough and God of War hack n slash gameplay style suits us 🙂

[@dagonofthedepths]

I'm sure a lot of people mentioned this, but this is based off the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri finish in 1320 a year before the man died. It was pretty much just about him journeying through hell, purgatory, and heaven. It set up how most people depict hell in fiction. Kind of funny though, there wasn't much more to it than him touring in the original poem, and he wasn't a fighter he was a poet who really did just get lost (metophoicly) but I guess that would be boring from a game perspective. The game felt like it was suppose to be a trilogy but the game did pretty average, didn't review well and it's EA so it's dead forever. EA the true devil.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

But Dead Space is coming back (kinda) so maybe this has hope as well 🤔

[@dagonofthedepths]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Sure but Dead Space 1 was insanely popular even to this day. Dante's Inferno was never that unique as a game. The only thing it had going for it was the plot, without that it's basically a worst God of War game. That and the company that made this was the same company that made Dead Space and EZ killed them. Because EA are meanies.

[@dlgross7325]

The boss battles were insane! This game reminds me of God of War but not as great as GOW, but still good for what it was

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

We heard it was God of War esque just with not as solid gameplay mechanics 🤗

[@breadtoast1036]

highly recommend looking up some youtubers summary of The Divine Comedy its what the games based on its a very dark and serious (with under tone of humor obviously) take on hell purgatory and heaven its very interesting

[@acrab6527]

The art design was amazing, and it played like the first 3 god of wars, so it played well. But the advertising campaign was both esoteric, not even saying what it's advertising, and kind of gross. They sent "7 deadly sins" boxes to people. So the wrath box had bloody, chopped meat. The lust box they sent journalists blood smeared, severed rubber tits, etc. It kinda freaked people out, so no one reviewed it favorably, despite it being actually good. Would have loved to see their take on Purgatorio and Paradiso, since everyone always does inferno and then stops.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Yeah that’s some twisted marketing. When a clever idea goes a bit too far. 😨

[@DireWolf1412]

If you don't want to play or can't find the game, there is an animated movie

medically it depends on how far they shove the cross in. if it went always the way thru it was quick but if not then yea.....

[@v.emiltheii-nd.8094]

This game also has an ok anime movie of the same name. Devil May cry got an anime series. Oh and Bayonetta got a slightly mediocre anime movie, as well

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

[@barios80]

Dante's Inferno is a great game. It's on my all time greats along side the God of War series. You should also see the cutscenes to get a full grasp of the complete story because the cinematics are too far apart and the context is lost in the process

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Yeah we just planned on watching trailers cuz that’s what the video title said and then we got this 🤗

[@wafflebrothel7712]

Such a great game

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Hello! Sorry, I haven’t been able to keep up with you guys lately. One question though. Do you plan to start another let’s play?

[@Astin-D]

Dante's Inferno is the closest we ever get what hell would look like to our imagination lol . But yes it a really fun game it has the same vibe as god of war. Also there a animated movie of the same game called Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic . You should play/watch the game first before this short movie it more or less a recap in cartoon form .

[@gundamgunpla4685]

I ordered Dantes Inferno on the internet YEARS ago. The book arrived and it was all Latin, like old Latin. Only word I could sorta understand was CANTO = (Chapter?)

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Oh no! That’s unfortunate. Why would they even make it in Latin still? 😂 guess there are still purists out there 🤗

[@JJoJam]

16:30 Sorry to burst your optimistic bubbles, but Dante is no hero. He's not even a good person as far as i'm concerned. He openly and gleefully committed war crimes. The Bishops and Priests who sent them "absolved" them of all sins they would commit in the name of their "holy" crusade, but it's obviously meant to be read as corrupt spiritual leaders goading the templars into perpetrating genocide. Not that Dante shied away from all the killing. Or bargaining with a woman to have her husband released. +1 for looking for the good in people, though. Good vibes and well wishes. Thanks for bringing out Dante's Inferno. This was a great gaming experience for me and many others, but you may want to pull out now. Shit will get crazier in quite uncomfortable ways. This is literally a journey through 9 circles of *Hell*. Or at least, make sure you're both in a good head space and fully rested before you dive deeper. XD

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Tough to root for a bad character let alone play as one haha, but it makes it more realistic to the times this was based on. The holier than thou attitude 😕

[@JJoJam]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I mean, it's fun to be bad sometimes. 😈 Still, I do think it's an interesting deconstruction of using a rigid ideology that relies on outside forces to shape one's morality rather than exercising empathy to inform one's decisions.

[@solastro5595]

They made a dantes inferno animated movie and it is good.

[@russell9153]

Dang I'd watch this but i'm about halfway through the game.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Yeah definitely don’t watch this cuz it spoils things. Video said all cinematic trailers but it definitely has end game cinematics in it 😢

[@garlicjrmade6409]

this game was amazing, going through all the layers of hell, sadly the game is so old the graphics are really bad by todays standards and, this cinematic is really one of the only things worth watching these days, the story was great, and being able to live the story in a video game was amazing, but alas.

Ugh you guys are missing out on a lot of the context. Even if isn't for the channel you guys should watch a playthrough so these scenes make more sense. Even if loosely based on the poem its a good story on its own.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

We actually hadn’t meant to watch any cutscenes cuz the video said All Cinematic Trailers 😂 It wasn’t until we were halfway through that we realized this was more than the trailers 🤗
