[QUOTE="LoserMike"] From just finished Uncharted 2 than to playing this Demo, the graphics don't look impressive at all. Even Bayonetta, with all it's slow-down on the PS3, looks better.Espada12

Bayonetta didn't have much slow down for me on my PS3. Now I played that demo and this one and have to say DI is very unimpressive. Graphics felt like playing a PS2 game at points and while the gameplay is fine it did feel quite uninspired. This game is going to drop to $30 in no time so that will be a good time to pick it up. I was actually impressed with Bayonetta and it's variey in gameplay.

Bayonetta's gameplay is the same as DMCS except you have more combos... and of course the button mashing sequences

Well the gameplay felt a lot more interesting to me and varied than DI. I prefer GOW3 gameplay from the Demo due to it feel more immersive.

Just finished playinig the demo and the game is just like God of War except inspired by Christianity instead of Greek Myths and there's no Blade of Chaos/Athena. The scythe is like the hammer in GoW, so the gameplay is much slower and less combo-happy. Graphics aren't impressive they look like God of War 2 graphics except more detailed.

I'm surprised EA is pushing this game for for the PS3 when God of War 3 is going to be released a month after Dante's Inferno, you'd think EA would push this on the 360 since they don't have God of War.

demo sucked god of war rip off

I have to agree.

I was actually shocked at just HOW derivative it is. I knew it was going to be a God of War clone, but I mean EVERYTHING about it is ripped off. I had fun playing it and I am definitely going to buy it, but honestly it couldn't rip off GoW more if it tried. It's going to be a very good clone, but it will not step out of GoW's shadow and have a unique identity for this iteration.

The game was ripped to the absolute T of god of war, its quite sad. That being said the game is good. Looks like a solid A game but nothing on GOW.

There were games before God of War that did everything that God of War did. To say that DI is ripping off GOW is to assume that there isn't a prior origin which they both rip off. Sword of the Berserk would be that shared origin (among other games). I see no compelling evidence to prove that DI is borrowing from GOW and not the shared origin of the genre.

Thing is DI rips off GOW in the sense that pretty much EVERYTHING about it seems and feels like God of War. It doesn't just borrow, it's like a carbon copy of GoW. GoW never did any thing of the sort.

Exactly. DI copies GoW so much it's almost scary. It doesn't feel like NG or DMC or whatever, it just feels like a blatant, blatant copy of God of War. If you play both games it's easy to tell. Every single thing about it is copied from GoW.

So what if it is a GOW rip off? It is still shaping up to be a good game and I will buying both and enjoying both. I'm not going to avoid something because it to closely resembles something else.

Yeah, I'm not disputing that. I enjoyed the demo a lot, I will be buying the game, but I was amazed at how derivative it is. It's practically GoW with a different skin. It doesn't mean it won't be good, just that it's incredibly obvious where the inspiration came from.

Similar looking chest for health and repeatedly pressing a button to open it? SAME running animations? Button popping up over enemies head after dealing a certain amount of damage for a reaction command? Holding a button down to kick open a door EXACTLY like kratos? Unnecesary amount of boobs shown on screen? Holding down triangle to hit enemies up into the air? Same control scheme? Jumping on the back of huge enemies to attack smaller ones? Charge up rage meter, and hit two buttons to activate? Some scenes are ripped right out of the first two games in the demo alone.

They even ripped the same damn animations. Sure games copy from each other but not IDENTICALLY! Its not original at all. That being said the combo system is FUN AS HELL.

Sure it did. Before Sword of the Berserk, that genre didn't even exist! Sword of the Berserk was a one off that spawned the entire genre of Devil May Cry, NG and God of War. God of War borrowed heavily from Sword of the Berserk. The mere fact that DI resembles GOW doesn't prove jack. They could equally be borrowing from the same shared origin; SOTB.

70% of the stuff you mentioned was done first with Sword of the Berserk. The other 30% could easily have been a natural evolution of the genre, not some magical copying of God of War. The mere fact that these games are similar does not prove that DI ripped off God of War.

If anything, thanks to my knowledge of gaming history, I'm the only one seeing the big picture. Those who claim DI is a direct rip off of God of War are far too presumptuous, not taking into consideration that they both share a common heritage.

I really felt like playing "God of War goes all Christian" but I don't think that's bad. I will definitely get this game because I really enjoyed the demo and was totally upset when I realized that this game takes more than 2 months to be released :(

BAYONETTA is all i have to say, i don't think DI is going to stand a chance. BAYONETTA might even be better than GOW3.

I look at it this way:

While it immediately puts you in mind of God of War, I'm not going to let that fact keep me from what appears to be a fantastic game. I didn't regret playing Dead Space despite the similarities to Resident Evil, so I would imagine the same it s going to apply here.

And if even if they end up being completely identical in every way except the storyline, I will have gotten to play to fantasic games in a genre I love. Sounds like a win to me. Why people would complain that Dante's Inferno, a new IP with a potentially unique storyline, is garbage and then say that God of War III, the same game with the same storyline, will be magnificent is really illogical.

As it stands, I'll be getting both before it's all over.

Ok so maybe it didn't rip it off. I think the point is that it reminds a lot of people of God of War. It has a lot of similarities and since God of War 3 is to be released shortly after Dante's Inferno, more people are willing to push this game to the side. That being said, at least it's "ripping off" a good game. I still found it enjoyable but I am part of the group that will push it far, far to the side for now.

It really seems you just quoted me without actually reading my post. God of War may be BORROWING from some other game and it may also RESSEMBLE other games a little but in no way did it ever copy a game as much as DI does with GoW.
