Let's face it, we've seen some legendary action franchises turn not so legendary this gen. I remember when this gen was just starting and the DMC4 CGI teaser was shown, I was flipping out because I couldn't believe how cool a nex-gen DMC game could be.

Then some real footage was shown and oh, prettier textures, prettier lighting and oh -- it's the same effing game. Of course, DMC4 was still a great game, it definately satisfied on it's own, but I call it a failure because gaming jumped a gen and DMC didn't.

Same with NG, my favorite game on the Xbox, how did it jump a gaming generation? Simple, some gore, and some new weapons -- bam, sequel. What made me even more upset is that they kept nearly all the flaws of the Xbox NG.

So now GoW3, will it be the same game we had on the PS2? When I look at GoW3 will I be able to say, "hey this doesn't feel like an expansion pack!"

Let's hope so.

GoW is not only about the gameplay now... many fans are aching to know what will happen with Kratos and his fight against the Gods of Olympus.

So even if (and I?m saying IF) is about the same as previous games, but the story delivers, I'll be good with it.

Yes I suppose GoW gets the luxury of having a coherent story, hopefully it'll pull through.

Yeh, i found DMC4 and NGII kinda average compared to the first NG and DMC3. hopefully GoWIII doesn't suck, and hopefully we get a good new action games.

I don't think so, Sony is a better developer than Capcom and Tecmo. This game will score 9.5 or a 10 easily and will probably be the best action game this gen.

It failed my expectations, and this thread is about failed potential. If Starcraft 2 turns out to be just a really solid and enjoyable game and not the coming of christ for eSports, a lot of people are gonna be angry.

umm yeah to an extent DMC4 & NG2 were disappointing but they are still great games. Now GOW3, you can quote me on this. GOW3 will be a genre defining game and elevate the hack-n-slash genre, it will recieve AAA scores across the board and will be an EPIC game to play and one that will be remember fondly. Now I have to put my crystall ball away :P but seriously, GOW3 wont disappoint.

You are going to set yourself up for a disappointment, good luck with that.

Anyway, here's a few reasons why I was a bit disappointed with DMC4:

1. the game revolved around Nero. When I played with Dante it felt so out of place.

2. the change in atmosphere. DMC1/3 were a bit darker.

3. the lack of Vergil (Dante's brother)

4. the boss fights altho they were good, I wish Capcom had added similar fights like Nelo Angelo1/2/3 found in DMC1, Dispair Embodied found in DMC2 and Vergil1/2/3 found in DMC3, respectfully.

@ FragTycoon: Don't worry, here is no chance of GoW3 getting sub-AAA on GS. Its got AAA on lockdown. Yeah yeah I know about Zelda TP, but this aint Zelda, this is GoW3! :x

@Floppy_Jim: Lol, it could be! Too bad we wont get the chance to seeing as how GoW3 is going to get AAA. Its already confirmed.

@Angry_PolarBear: Waster bookmark seeing as I wont do the dance because GoW3 already got AAA. GS reviewers already reviewed it and gave it AAA, they are just waiting for the game to be complete now :P

no...because The game will be polished(NG 2 wasn't) won't have reapeating boss fights(DMC 4) and will have a narrative to go along with its good combat DMC and NG were always superior in combat, but GOd of War actually had a more legit narrative....very well written, very well done..its only drawback has been that the main character is kind of an overrated Bword(Yes KRatos is a B word)..... I said it :P DANTE FTW....

NG2 could have been so dam epic, if it wasn't for the shallow and poor story. The gameplay is perfect. GOD of War 3 will be huge, bet on it....all 3 prior games are a success, thanks to very detail story telling and engaging gameplay..that never get old. IMO.

No but this thread failed seeing as how the OP's post directly contradicts his topic title.

At any point he said that. He is just clarifying that the sequels didn't had much new stuff to be considered truly next gen. I agree by the way.
