Dante’s Inferno demo to land on PSN two weeks before XBL

dantesinferno7

EA has revealed that the Dante’s Inferno demo scheduled for this month will land on PS3 two weeks ahead of the Xbox 360 demo.

Called “Gates of Hell”, it’s the first level of the game and set for release on December 10. XBL gets it Christmas Eve – or December 24 for the oblivious among us.

Full thing is out in February.

Via D’toid.

Would have though EA would have the common sense to release it before the 24th on XBL since doubt it will get as many downloads with placing so close to christmas

it wont have as many downloads in the first place because silver subs have to wait an extra week. PSN everyone gets it on day 1. E.A. is probably doing this so the PlayStation community will give it a chance because of God of War 3 being its big competition.

Well they have ripped off God Of War, so it’s only right to let Sony have first dibs on the demo.

If you want to get technical God of War ripped of Devil May Cry which in turn ripped of Ninja Gaiden. You can go all the way to original consoles to to where they were all “ripped” off.

Well between God Of War – Devil May Cry and Shinobi – Ninja Gaiden theres quite a difference, they’re most of just the same genre then copies.
But Dante’s Inferno seriously looks like its borrowed most of its gameplay elements from straight from God of War.

There are worse games to plagiarise.

And LOrds of SHadow too. They may have same gameplay but entirely different stories. All Fight games are the same does that make them plagarised?

Like TEA said, they have to work harder for the PS3 crowd’s attention because of GoW3. But it’d be wrong for people to dismiss this as a cheap clone, it’s actually a pretty damn good clone.

its only because, in this day and age of action adventure games, the anti has been upped, to the point where you need to be battling off against lots of enemies onscreen at once. and to make this enjoyable for the gamer, you need to have a weapon with a large attack area

god of wars blades of watsit
dantes big bendy scythe
lord of shadows whip

can you imagine how bad an action adventure game with a default short weapon would be, it just wouldn’t cut the mustard

ergo, Nier will be bad
