THIS game has combat mechanics just like God of War. No one is calling the series a GOW rip off. They are calling This game one.

Castlevaina introduced the whip long before kratos and swords on chains.

That's find and dandy. I'm glad you think I'm talking about the weapons when I'm not.

The GAMEPLAY. The GAMEPLAY looks LIKE GOD OF WAR.

Not the weapons, though the whip is used like Kratos does his chains of Olympus.

The Gameplay. Am I clear this time?

Looks complete trash.

God of War is garbage. I have god of war 3 and can't bring myself to play more then 2 hours in. Kratos is a dumb meathead. I like games with good art design. I like the chartiecter models in this game. Also it's gonna be 20 hours long and has some good voice acting.

I'm not starting an argument, but the textures are muddy, the combat is atrocious looking, and the main character feels recycled.

Lots of games look like that until they're released. Game all borrow mechainics from one another. God or war isn't the first hack and slash to ever come along. You could say god of war ripped alot off from ninja gaiden with it's fixed camera and weapons combos. Same with ninja gaiden and devil may cry.

And what about shooters. Thats the least evolved type of game there is. They haven't changed much since perfect dark on the n64 and the market is flooded with them. Talk about repetative the online aspect is nothing but run spawn die run spawn die.

Yeah well look at resident evil 4 and how many games ripped it off. Gears of war and uncharted bother borrowed mechanics from that game.

I never claimed GOW as the first, but it's one of, if not the most popular one, so of course I'm going to use it.

I don't see why they would give a game one combat system at the beginning for a demo and the change it for the final product. This game WILL look like this when it's done, I almost guarentee it.

And do you think GOW rip off combos from Ninja Gaiden? Didn't think so.

And I'm fine with a game borrowing mechanics, but when it's putting a game into a different skin, I'm gonna call BS.

On another note, Ninja Gaiden doesn't have a fixed camera at all really.

Lastly, was the whole shooters segment really necessary?

Not much of a Castlevania fan when it comes to console, but this looks really good with those screenshots.

:lol: GOW3 is dumb? Its your opinon, though all of the GOW series have the highest MC ratings for a hack and slash, and it looks much better than this as a game, espcially when it considers gameplay and graphics (the gameplay in those vids were lacking ...)

I do not care if it borrows from God of War but do not basically copy the game and animations like Dante's Inferno did lol. This game looks amazing and better then GOW3 imo ( I heard GoW3 was 8 hours long) plus the only thing this game borrowed was the chains I think

Lol that is fine ,length and fun > graphics... GOW3 was watered down GOW2 and was the shortest of the 3 (half the length of GOW2 I think and it is on Blue Ray... )

I think it looks awesome, the last thread on this game got alot of unneeded hate. Game was bashed up and down for being a GOW rippoff. Looks great to me, first day pick up. :D
