EA released this trailer of Dante's Inferno, a really well-done one too. The game is from the developer's of Dead Space, EA Redwood Shores.
EA press release (from December 2008):
An abducted soul, a lifetime of sins, a journey to the depths of despair. Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that EA Redwood Shores, the studio behind hit horror game Dead Space™, is making Dante’s Inferno™ – a third-person action adventure adaptation of the medieval epic poem The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. The dark fiction gave birth to the Tuscan Italian dialect and is widely considered to have defined the western world’s contemporary conception of hell and purgatory. The poem tells the tale of Dante who journeys through the twisted, menacing nine circles of hell in pursuit of his beloved Beatrice.
Written in the 14th Century, The Divine Comedy was published and read aloud in Italian (unlike the Bible), thereby making the poem accessible to the mass public. The poem delivers a striking and allegorical vision of the Christian afterlife and the punishments of hell. In part one, known as Dante’s Inferno, Dante traverses all nine circles of hell; limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, wrath, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery.
“The time is right for the world of interactive entertainment to adapt this literary masterpiece, and to re-introduce Dante to an audience that, until now, may have been unfamiliar with the remarkable details of this great work of art,” said Jonathan Knight, executive producer for Dante’s Inferno. “It’s the perfect opportunity to fuse great gameplay with great story.”

Let's hope they have what is needed to make a solid action game.
If they're able to make such amazing CGI, then I have no doubt about the game itself when its done.

I somehow like the new EA.
PS. Ninja Gaiden 2 wasn't the first action game to use the scythe.

Anyways, would you guys stop creaming your pants? It's just a pre-rendered clip. The screen shots available aren't as impressive.
One would expect that games like Gears of war and other TPShooters showed how to make it right, but it seems even anyone can make a bad game decision.

There is also a green loading bar in the middle after this error is thrown.
Does it even play the advertisement?

edit: you know what I think I know what it is. The usual flash player will probably ignore exceptions but im running a debugger version for my current project which is probably why its stalling when it hits the error. Although I think its a new issue because someone in the killzone thread had a similair problem.

I know I have to have two separate installations of Flash for Firefox and IE7.
(btw, that green interface would have fit for Xboxyde, but not here)

Looking forward to seeing some gameplay. Looks like it could have a really interesting setting and characters.
