To me...they didn't really analyze it all that well. They only took the quote at the beginning and based it off of Heaven and Hell. They didn't really look at it more closely than that. They based the cell Dante was in as "purgatory" We're not really looking at religion in this game...it's a hack'em slash'em deal.
DMC is about Demons and keeping them out of the human world...there may be a possiblity of a Heaven realm but I don't think Dante is looking for redemption in "God's" eye though.
Perhaps that is what they are trying to change - that it will be more than 'just' a hack'n slash game, but that they will tend to character-development and expand on the storyline elements rather than just having Dante slay another bunch of demons.
Thousands if not millions of games are about "There's a villain who wants to take over the world, send in the hero to stop him", and the past DMC's have been about that. This reboot may even be about that as well, however, the trailer shows some elements that could possibly give more depth to the game's storyline. Perhaps they have called it Limbo City for some other reason than it just be some name from the Divine Comedy.
Ninja Theory is known to put alot of work into the depth of characters and the storyline of their games, and I don't think DmC is going to be an exception. Capcom is good at making games, but storyline wise they have had some hit and misses. The Resident Evil series have quite a good storyline where as Megaman is about the whole "hero stop villain" thing and not much else. Though many in this forum have expressed their dislike to Heavenly Sword, I personally think that it tells an incredible story and the characters have so much depth. That HS is too short a game and the gameplay seems to be a complete rip-off of God of War is another story...
