[QUOTE="aaronmullan"]

[QUOTE="ironcreed"] I will point you towards my comment earlier in this thread... [QUOTE="aaronmullan"] Indeed. Maybe some of the other parts will be very different. We've only seen that much of it (I said this exact same thing with the first trailer :lol: )

ironcreed

I have high hopes for it to be great.

Well good deal then. That is pretty much my point. There have been many great games that borrow heavily from others that came before it, yet they were able to add enough of their own spin to a proven formula to make the game their own. We know that Visceral is VERY good at doing this, and that is why all this, "clone" talk get's on my nerves. Who is to say they cannot take a tried and true formula and succeed by adding thier own twists to it?

Very good point. I'm saying "clone" as in it looks exactly the same, but really fun, too. With the general idea that each of the stages of hell are completely different makes the game really interesting to me. Even if it doesn't add anything new to the combat, it is the same combat I know and love. So I'm most likely going to love this game.

[QUOTE="ironcreed"]

I do not have to deny it because I do not run around screaming "clone" at every game that is influenced and uses other gameplay elements that were used before. Using your logic, every FPS today is a rip off of Wolfenstein and Doom. Afterall, they both have you aiming/firing guns in first person EXACTLY like they did. Must be clones and rip-offs then, aye? Give me a break.

ironcreed

Influencing is doing a copy and paste job now? You seem to think I'm calling this a clone in a bad way. This game looks awesome, but it is a blatant copy of God of War. Anyone can see it.

Like I said, I guess all shooters are blatant rip-offs of Doom and Wolfenstein. Afterall, it is the same formula, anyone can see it.;) With all due respect, I do not think you have seen nearly enough of the game to prematurely come to the conclusion that it is going to be a copy and paste job. You do not think Visceral will include some of their own gameplay mechanics in the game as well? Come on, man.

Dude give it a rest. It's EXACTLY like GOW. There are other third person action games as well, Onimusha, DMC, and Ninja gaiden. These games all differ from one another somehow, but everything in this game, the mechanics, the way he jumps, the way he runs, his animation when he gets hit, the way it enters into QTE's, everything except for the main character is the same. Nobody is saying it's a bad game. It's just much more similar to GOW than you're admitting.

Hmm, looks more appealing to me than God of War.

Bioshockownz thinks a game that's going to be on the 360 looks better than a ps3 exclusive!! :o Impossible!! No way!!

I'll get all the rest I need when I'm dead, thanks. Look, I never said it did not borrow from GOW, I just said that it is not a complete clone, which it is not. I merely think they are going to take a tried and true formula and simply add their own touches to it, much like they did with Dead Space. Thereby, the game, although very similar, will stand own it's own merits enough to be judged accordingly. Especially since it actually has some substance to go along with it as well.

Bottom line, you have not seen enough gameplay to come to the conclusion that it is going to be a complete and utter rip, without any unique gameplay touches whatsoever. So, maybe you should give all this 'clone' talk a rest until we know what the final product will be like, aye?

awesome! I'm glad to beefen up my hack-n-slash collection :>. Nothing has really matched up to DMC so far but I think this definitely has a chance.

I personally think this is going to be better than darksiders, gow3, bayonetta, and mgs: rising! ..but probably not the new castlevania game.

I think what people need to understand is that taking a successful formula, and perfecting it, is Visceral games niche. Take a look at Dead Space and Dead Space: Extraction. Dead Space took the gameplay of Resident Evil 4, themes from popular sci-fi movies, added in their own atmosphere, and created one of the best games of 2008. Extraction looks to do the same, except it's a take on the on-rails shooter style of gameplay. Now they are doing the exact same thing with Dante's Inferno, and I have no doubt that the final product will be something highly enjoyable even when compared to the heavy hitters it gets its mechanics from, like GoW3.

Perfecting it? God of War III doesn't only look more enjoyable then this but it also looks better!

I can not deny the resemblance between this and God of War 3. However, the game looks to be a good bit of awesome, so I don't quite mind.

Yeah, God of War has a fantastic story. Still one of the best in the action genre. Also, why would you play an action game for atmosphere?

Well it's based off one of the greatest writings in history and takes place in all 7 circles of hell. Thats appealing to some people like him and me.

There's nine circles of hell. You would find the game appealing since you know the source material so well. :|

Wow. What a complete rip off of GOW.

Looks good though, i doubt it's gonna be as angry as GOWIII :)

uhm, here's the deal.
BAT THINGS. = god of war.
WEAPONS THAT EXTEND = god of war.
BIG GIANT BOSSES THAT HAS BUTTON INPUT BATTLES = god of war.
COLLECTING DEAD ENEMY's ORBS = god of war.
SLOW MOTION FOR AIR COMBO = god of war.
DANTE's INFERNO < god of war.

Well ok it may be a blatant god of war ripoff in gameplay, but at least it has it's own artstyle and feel. And I don't have a PS3 anyway so this might be good. I mean it's not like quantum, which is same gameplay, same artstyle, blatant ripoff city.

I think thats because Quantum looks absouletly terrible and it has no hype. Dantes Inferno will the gameplay is similar to Gow still looks like itcould be a great game.

That big... demon... thing in the background was just like the colossus fight from God of War II. Like, EXACTLY the same. It's sad, really.

Wow, this really looks like a GoW ripoff down to the camera.

I think I'll pass on this one, considering Darksiders, Bayonetta, NGS2 and GoW3 all come out at similar dates and this is the one that lacks identity the most.

wow I honestly thought people were just talking too much when they said that DI is a GoW Clone ... but omg:

  • annoying flying harpy things (check)
  • enemies come out of ground (check)
  • extendable weapon (check)
  • GoW-like QTE's (check)
  • hit counter on the right side of the screen which says things like "Hellish" every 5-10 hits (check)
  • A Green and Blue health bar in the top left corner (check)
  • Orbs when you kill people (check)
  • Slow Motion when you start an ariel combo (check)
  • When a guy is close to death, QTE over his head, then mash circle, while the camera zooms in to show you a gruesome death (check)

wow, I didn't think that they would copy all the little things too. Kinda sad to see from the dev team. Still GoW like game, with an apparently epic story, I'm all for it.

Yes I know what Dante's Inferno is, but that doesnt mean this game will have a good story. Last I read, In Dante's Inferno there was no scythe wielding man cutting people into pieces. This game is LOOSELY (notice the emphasis on LOOSELY) based on the book. Basically the only connection between the game and the poem are the 9 circles of hell.

[QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"] Wha? God of War has a terrific story and terrific atmosphere. What are you talking about? How does Dante's Inferno look more appealing. Sure, I'll give you atmosphere, but story? WTF?II_Seraphim_II

IT IS DANTES INTERNO! Have you not heard of it? One of the best Epic Poems out there.

Yes I know what Dante's Inferno is, but that doesnt mean this game will have a good story. Last I read, In Dante's Inferno there was no scythe wielding man cutting people into pieces. This game is LOOSELY (notice the emphasis on LOOSELY) based on the book. Basically the only connection between the game and the book are the 9 circles of hell.

Or possibly the themes the book deals with...which is the most important aspect of the story.

[QUOTE="cametall"]It looks like a straight rip-off of God of War. Unfortunately for God of War this game looks better and I am interested in it.NAPK1NS
What about this looks better the God of War III for you? Serious question - I really don't see how it looks BETTER.

The backdrop interests me more than GoW. I bought the first GoW because their twisted take on Roman/Greek mythology piqued my interest, and I was let down. Kratos is also a ****ty character. Hopefully Dante doesn't turn out to be some angry horny macho-man that Kratos is.

Ok, we are both making assumptions so we may be right or wrong, so lets make a bet. i bet you that GoW3 will score better than DI, and the story (according to critics and gamers) will be more interesting in GoW. :D
