I had to read Dante's Inferno back in college around the time that Doom 3 was released.
Cole: Dude, you're playing Doom 3. Looks awesome.
Bro: It's aight. Kinda boring after a while.
Cole: Dude, they should totally make an expansion for this based on Dante's Inferno.
Bro: I dunno, brah.
Cole: Seriously, gluttons forced to slosh around in black sleet? The slothful gurgling beneath the filthy River Styx? Heretics in flaming tombs? A river of boiling blood?
Bro: Alright already, I get it-
Cole: Centaurs firing flaming arrows? Harpies tearing the wooden flesh of sinners doomed to be gnarled trees for eternity? Flatterers steeped in a lake of shit? Crying sorcerors with reversed heads? Demonic snakes and lizards?
Bro: OK, geez.
Cole: I haven't made it to the ninth circle yet. And just think of the boss battles! Scary, dude. Scary...as hell.
Video after the jump:
Awesome, right? Faithfulness to the story aside, it'd be difficult to screw up a game set in these chilling environments.The trailer doesn't give us too much information, but it's enough to get me excited.
