Anything EA does involving this game doesn't surprise me anymore
[info]sparklefield members/watchers might recall the Twilight-ized versions of certain literary classics.

With the video game Dante's Inferno out next month, another great work of literature is hitting bookstores soon—now with a hideous new cover!

My first reaction to this was "whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?". Also "I hate everyone associated with this game and this product, especially those who think 'welcome to hell' was supposed to be some kind of warning to the generally uncaring Dante".

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH!

Okay, that is the best thing ever. XD Wait til fanboys find out how dry the sucker is. XD

So, is the sequel going to be based on Purgatorio, or Paradiso? Somehow I doubt it!

Yeah - though it's great if you're aware of Italian politics of the time, because Dante was so hilariously bitter about them.

It's seriously 1300's self-insert RPF. I love it so much. XD

Dry? :/ I read it way before I knew anything about Medieval Italian politics and even then I found it seriously awesome.

Of course the fanboys are in for a nasty surprise.

Now I'm picturing the movie version with Gerard Butler playing Dante with a Scottish accent.

When I read that, I completely thought that the cover for Dante's Inferno was gonna be twilight-ized and my brain screamed "NOOOOOO."

RAGE. Seriously.

I have no problems with Twilight-ized covers, but this is just hideous and wrong in so many ways. :/ This is the sort of thing I'd laugh myself silly over if it was a joke, but seeing it actually happen is just sad.

Hey, while we're here, can somebody recommend a good translation? My university library has like seven and I can't decide from a quick skim.

Also, that's gloriously ridiculous and I'm inclined to buy it just for the lols. Oh, EA.

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry at that cover. Maybe I'll do both simultaneously.
