The post where we take a look inside the brainstorming session that launched the colossal failure known as Dante’s Inferno:
Dante’s Inferno Developer 1: Man, we really need to help EA out and make something innovative.
Dante’s Inferno Developer 2: Something different? How about we show how artisitic we are and make a game about Dante’s Inferno?
Developer 3: You mean the Divine Comedy?
Developer 2: No you shithead. I said Dante’s Inferno. It’s about hell and tits and that’s fucking cool.
Developer 3: But the Divine Comedy is–
Developer 1: Shut Up. We’re going to make this epic poem artistic and hardcore.
Developer 2: Yeah! What we’ll do is take a classic piece of literature and make it bloody and full of testosterone.
Developer 1: Yeah!!! We’ll make it more God of War like! That’ll be totally innovative and different!
I’m really at a loss to explain why the game industry is failing so hardcore right now. Are you?
