You know how he got that way? By not copying others.

But isn't copying the sincerest form of flattery?

And if someone wants to make a videogame/movie/art piece dedicated to something they liked or loved... how is that possible if you have to be original with everything?
Thats like doing a painting dedicated to the Original resident evil, and replacing every character, monster, and the setting with something that was never in the game to begin with.... How is it resident evil anymore?

Still confused as to why they called it Dante's Inferno, seeing as it has nothing to do with the poem.

Dante from Devil May Cry would not approve of this game.

On a related note, Shakespeare is really excited about my King Lear game.

The Divine Comedy was as much a criticism of Alighieri's times as it was a work of art. Journey to the West, which was a criticism of the Tang Dynasty, gave us Sun Goku which gave Akira Toriyama the idea to spin the idea into the Dragon Ball series.
I think the better question right now is whether the storytelling can live up to the challenge or not.

"Dante would be all like, yo dogs! And we'd be all like, check out this game, bro! And he'd be all like, Day-Um! This is what the Divine Comedy SHOULD have been like!"

How is it everybody is forgetting that this is the same developer who made the excellent Dead Space. When that game was coming out everybody cried it's just a clone of ____. But then when they played it, it was an excellent game of it's own accord, which did indeed use the best concepts from some great games, and then put it's own unique stamp on it. I have faith they can make this a really good game worth playing.

As somebody who spent a considerable amount of his academic life studying Dante ... and as a videogame lover ... this just offends me.
