2009's a big year for child murder. Almost two-months after we broke word of Fairytale Fights "Kill 1,000 Children" Achievement (which may or may not have been cut), Dante's Inferno's Executive Producer Jonathan Knight reveals his game too will include an achievement for killing kiddies. The "Bad Nanny" Achievement will be rewarded to the player whom slaughters a yet undetermined number of unbaptized infants.
Original sin's a bitch. And to be fair, the little ones do have knives for arms.
Knight spoke about this achievement, along with a number of other gruesome details at yesterday's EA's "Naughty and Nice" holiday press event. Dante featured a number of naughty bits: a menu containing FMV of a topless woman, BBQed monster boobs and 8ft tall monsters that, swear to Beelzebub, looks just like Krampus.
On the nice side, the game looks good. God of War III good, well, that's tough to say. But most definitely it competes visually with the other third-person hack and slash competitor, Bayonetta.
Expect more odetails on Dante's Inferno as we close in on the February 9th release date. Much smoother and polished than what we saw at E3, Dante's Inferno has potential to win over gamers, disgust parents and spook infants in Q1 2010.
