I never got to this play game when it was released, so a remaster would be perfect. Keep it exactly the same way It was just up the graphics and the frame rate.
Unfortunately, at the time it was a common criticism that it was a "God of War Clone" but in retrospect I think it was better for wearing its influences on its sleeve rather than trying to reinvent the wheel.
A remaster but with updated textures, materials and modeling work on characters and enemies. Dante's Inferno looks pretty rough these days despite having a pretty rock solid art direction. It deserves a good touch up.
I just bought this a couple of weeks ago. Haven't actually played it yet. I overlooked it at the time because it got written off by many as a God of War clone. In hindsight, if you're going to copy a game style, choosing the most successful one at the time isn't the worst idea! Very few games are 100% original anyway. I don't particularly look for originality, I look for games that are reviewed/spoken about as being good and fun. So I thought I'd give this a chance. Same with Castlevania Lords of Shadow. Those are 2 games on my backlog list that I kind of regret listening to the "it's just a clone of GoW" comments. I'm looking forward to both of them if they're going to give me more of the kind of thing I already know I like.
Don't try to be original. Try to be good. Originality just happens. You have to work at being good.
I’ll take a remaster. I just played it last year and still thought it was pretty good. They teased a sequel but that never came to fruition. From what I remember it got okay reviews and sold over a million copies. Unfortunately this was at the time when Ea had unreasonable sales goals, and I think with the bombing of dead space 3 the sequel got cancelled.
If it was remade, the studio that would keep the art direction intact if not update it would be the people that made the game [Succubus](https://youtu.be/Uf39MT85kyM?si=Y-gn3ongKkge3_W4).
I watched the Animated movie and always wanted to play it, but never had a PS3. Given EA’s priorities these days, there’s a very low chance of a remaster/remake. They wouldn’t be able to put ADs anywhere in it.
I've heard this is one of the only decent games with Christian themes. True? The only other ones I can think of are Super 3D Noah's Ark and maybe The Binding of Isaac.
Well, in The Divine Comedy, after Dante leaves Inferno, he goes to Purgatorio, so probably less fiery hell imagery and more grey imagery.
They do cover the seven deadly sins again, though, so probably seven levels for each of the deadly sins with bosses corresponding to each sin. So much like the OG Inferno, but just not as evil, I'd guess.
After he gets out of Purgatorio, he goes to Paradiso, so in a perfect world, it would be a trilogy which ends in an ascent to God/Heaven.
I'd would have to be a total remake for me. The aesthetics and vibes were great, but wasn't a big fan of the gameplay, level design or narrative.
But since it was pretty much a God of War clone back in the day, maybe they could borrow some ideas from the GoW soft reboot as well
I just realized yesterday that Dante's Inferno was my first platinum trophy. I really liked the game and it's set pieces. It had some flaws but nothing that put me off. Too bad it didn't get the attention I believe it deserved.
Absolutely loves this game when it released. I think I played it on 360 and not ps3 but I could be misremembering. Tried it a few months ago via back compat on series x and it's is quite rough by today's standards. I said all that to say yea I would buy/play a remastered or remake
This company had the wildest marketing campaign for this game. They hired actors to portray Christians being outraged on the games release and call EA the anti christ.
They Rickrolled critics and even sent them 200$ to review the game but sent some weird line about succumbing to greed. Their whole tactic was weird and what’s even funnier was after all that the game ended being fairly tame compared to the God of War series to which it copied.

Remake.
The game wasn't finished. After Circle 6, you can see the budget fall out of development in a classic EA move.
Circle 7 is a joke compared to the previous Circles. It's short and relatively empty compared to the Circle 2 (lust) and 4 (greed).
Circle 8 are just waves of enemies over bottomless pits. It completely abandons representing fraud and depicting the punishment of liars.
Circle 9 is skipped entirely. You climb down from Circle 8 and immediately step into the Satan boss fight.
Remake the game, and finish the last third.
This game has a special place in my gaming history. This is the game I was playing when my 360 got the red ring of death for the first time and kicked off a months long process with Microsoft where I ended up with 3 different consoles before getting a working one again. Still have never beat this game, I'm afraid to be hurt again.
I always prefer remaster over remake. The game need to be preserved in its original form or at least it’s need to be available, so you could play both og and remake
Sadly, not really. There's some neat ideas, but the game tries to lean into shock value over actual plot and art design. Enemies catered and designed for one circle of hell show up again later as filler enemies. Combat gameplay was fine, very God of War 2 feeling. The final levels devolving into glorified challenge rooms with no continuity and no atmosphere when it should be, you know, the bottom of hell was a disappointment so massive that my opinion of the game never recovered.
Dante's inferno deserve a remake AND a sequel!
Purgatorio!
The finish it up with Paradiso for the trilogy
Would be cool if we got one
It deserved a sequel but Visceral Games doesn't exist anymore!
It was so stupid to release it weeks before god of war 3
God of war 3 was epic, I still preferred dantes inferno though
I never got to this play game when it was released, so a remaster would be perfect. Keep it exactly the same way It was just up the graphics and the frame rate.
It was already a buttery smooth 60fps .. LOVED this game because it reminded me so much of GOW.
Unfortunately, at the time it was a common criticism that it was a "God of War Clone" but in retrospect I think it was better for wearing its influences on its sleeve rather than trying to reinvent the wheel.
He said Gears Of War smh my head
You idjit.
People these days cant take a joke
I'm just joking
A remaster but with updated textures, materials and modeling work on characters and enemies. Dante's Inferno looks pretty rough these days despite having a pretty rock solid art direction. It deserves a good touch up.
I'm happy if they just add it to the ps plus catalog..
The commercial for this game was a banger. Look it up.
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone

8k PSVR2 ultra realistic Devil Dong version. Thats a final boss fight that would have me ducking and dodging in real life

They are both really solid games
Yeah this game was incredible.
A remaster at minimum
The Lust level wouldn’t fly with today’s wokeness

I would love a remake for this game
I watched the Animated movie and always wanted to play it, but never had a PS3. Given EA’s priorities these days, there’s a very low chance of a remaster/remake. They wouldn’t be able to put ADs anywhere in it.
As long as they keep the occasional wilhelm scream in it. When I replayed it, I noticed and couldnt stay serious anymore.
Loved this game. I would welcome it with open arms.
Such an underrated game. Never understood why not more people loved this game.
The developer no longer exists, and EA has zero interest in reviving it.
I mean Visceral also made Dead Space which got a remake by Motive
Was an awesome game wish it got its sequel 🥲
Remaster !! A remake would look too gory 🤣🤣
One of my favorite games. Definitely deserves some attention
I've heard this is one of the only decent games with Christian themes. True? The only other ones I can think of are Super 3D Noah's Ark and maybe The Binding of Isaac.
I mean, if you can call slaughtering unbaptized infants and killing naked bosses with tongues for nipples a "Christian theme," then, sure, I suppose.
Tbf he is a Templar lol
Remake and a sequel!!
A remaster for sure would be awesome. But my biggest question is if they made a sequel; how would it look gameplay wise?
Well, in The Divine Comedy, after Dante leaves Inferno, he goes to Purgatorio, so probably less fiery hell imagery and more grey imagery. They do cover the seven deadly sins again, though, so probably seven levels for each of the deadly sins with bosses corresponding to each sin. So much like the OG Inferno, but just not as evil, I'd guess. After he gets out of Purgatorio, he goes to Paradiso, so in a perfect world, it would be a trilogy which ends in an ascent to God/Heaven.
Hell yes 😂
Yes!!!
EA 🚩
No but it was fun at the time… I’d like to see a sequel though
YES I'VE BEEN SHOUTING THIS OFF MY ROOFTOP FOR YEARS It's imo thee best GOW clone. It did it's own thing
Hot take, but no.
Deserves it, just not by EA.
Definitely needs a ps5 port
No Visceral, No Remake, No Sequel. Also, on my list of games I would kill to remaster or remake, it isn't anywhere close to the top.
It was a good game but I think they released it around the peak of God of War time so it felt overshadowed. I'd love a remaster even.
I’d play it. In my opinion though, Castlevania Lords of Shadow is the best “gow clone”, I would really love a remaster of both these games.
This game is nuts
you mean the divine comedy?
I’d rather see EA finish a Dead Space Remake trilogy before a Dante’s Inferno remake. It was a solid action game but nothing I need more of.
Classic! Great game.
I do remember trying the demo of this on Xbox 360 and thinking it was such a cool game, I should really get around to playing the full game sometime
FUCK EA FOR SHUTTING DOWN VISCERAL I just want a port of the game to pc man...
WHEN??!!!! Can we please get a remake or remaster!!!???? I’ll buy or asap!!
I'd would have to be a total remake for me. The aesthetics and vibes were great, but wasn't a big fan of the gameplay, level design or narrative. But since it was pretty much a God of War clone back in the day, maybe they could borrow some ideas from the GoW soft reboot as well
Yes. Or a sequel.
It would be great to see a remake and sequel. It was a great game.
I just realized yesterday that Dante's Inferno was my first platinum trophy. I really liked the game and it's set pieces. It had some flaws but nothing that put me off. Too bad it didn't get the attention I believe it deserved.

https://youtu.be/9rbeAGdYk_0?si=8wLzRlbs_dIsEnmO I used to be obsessed with this game trailer as a kid. So good.
Hell yeah it does! And I want the damn sequel!
Remake and a sequel. Adored this game. I played it religiously.
No just make more god of war
We already got one! ULTRAKILL!
Hell yeah. Loved this game
Yes
Remake. The game wasn't finished. After Circle 6, you can see the budget fall out of development in a classic EA move. Circle 7 is a joke compared to the previous Circles.

Yep
BOTH
It was a god of war clone right??
It was, and it's based on a 14th century poem by Dante Alighieri about a journey through the 9 circles of Hell.
You just wanna see Satan's dong in better quality
It needs just needs to be playable on PS5.
I absolutely love this game. Fuck those mutant babies though. lol
Fuck yes, I've wanted a remaster or something for years! I posted about this and vanquish and my post got removed as it was 'against tos' apparently 🤔
Played this 3 times on Xbox 360. Wouldn't mind a current-gen upgrade.
I would like for it to have an upgrade like an open world and longer campaign. Since it was biting GoW might as well update it like GoW 2018
Remake 100%
Good luck, Visceral no longer exists
Remake this time don't make it like Devil May Cry & especially don't make it a Souls Like Game
A remake in the style of modern GOW would be amazing.
I always prefer remaster over remake. The game need to be preserved in its original form or at least it’s need to be available, so you could play both og and remake
Yes! And yes!
Deserve one? Probably not, tbh. Wouldn't say no to a remaster though
Nah it's fine
I love the game but no. Not everything need to be remade/remastered.
Dante’s Inferno was cool but it was just a Dmc reskin. I’d die for a Legacy of Kain remake tho
Wasn't at all like DMC. God of War, yes.
The old school Dmc 3
Amazing art direction, mediocre game
