Hell is not a pretty place, at all. Its completely silly for people not to expect really gruesome and obscene things. After all it is hell. Well no matter how horrible hell is, it still has to be censored, for some regions. Sadly Dante's Inferno has to be "softened up" to those areas. No word on which regions they will be, but we can all assume which ones they will be.

“There’s a little bit of softening of the content that we’re going to be doing for certain territories,” executive producer Jonathan Knight said in a OXM interview posted on Xbox Live. “We totally respect different cultural sensitivities and we want the game to be available in as many countries as we can so we’re kind of looking at that for certain territories, what we might need to do to soften the material a little bit, scale back.

“When you want to bite off topics like lust and gluttony and greed, you really sort of need to go for it because I think that’s what the adult gaming audience is expecting. It’s definitely not for kids. But for the 18 and up crowd I think there’s an appetite for ‘hey, what would that really look like?’”

    That's the least manly thing I've heard in a long time.

    I was under the impression that the concept of hell would be pretty much everything that is NOT culturally (or even generally) acceptable? Things like death/torture/excessive bodily fluids that can cause psychological disturbance (blood) and all other human oriented fears?
