Quantum thread of Gears of War plus a chick with a sword

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]

[QUOTE="aaronmullan"]

God of War = Dante's Inferno

Gears of War = Quantum

Truth.

Androvinus

Not really. Sure, it's the same genre, but the environments are all inspired by the 9 circles of hell. Nothing was takenor inspired by GoW. Same can be said for the enemies and things you'll come across. GoW wasn't the first violent action game, which some tend to think it was. And that's really the only thing they share in common.

Shenmue had QTE's long before GoW.

One of the more blatant rip-offs I can recall seeing. You would think Tecmo could come up with something at least a little more original than this.....thing. Oh, and the dialogue makes me want to crawl underneath my desk and curl up into a fetal postion it is so bad. Just cheese layered upon cheese. "Another tower, another chance to end it all." Ughh....just scrap this one Tecmo and give us something a bit more innovative and fresh if you want to give us a new IP. Not this Quantum cheese Theory: Gears of Japan wanna be tripe.

How, because it is a third person action, hack n' slash adventure game? In all fairness, some of the gameplay mechanics of DI may be similar to GOW, but overall, the games look nothing alike and are vastly different in terms of plot. This game is blatantly copying the artstyle, character design AND gameplay from Gears. So, not hardly, my friend.

Indeed. And unlike Quantum, Dante's Inferno won't suck.

Did you play it to know that it wont suck?

I don't have to, but I will, as I play mostly everything. And yeah, it's still gonna be a bad, bad, bad clone. This game, unlike Dante's Inferno, is a blantant rip off with horrible anime cliche art and design throw in to show the eastern influence.

what i sawfrom trailer; blood animation looks like GeOW, character is definitely lighter and faster than GeOW, combination melee with main character and girl looks to bring different attacks, main guy looks like he's got a secret (eyes glows red), seems like they've been taking down towers for a while (towers all around the world probably).

No news yetfor GeOW 3, this could hold me off till then.

Ok guys, pass the dutchie on the left hand side! Seriously, I cant understand how you can blame Quantum Theory of being an GeoW rip off and then do a 180 and defend DI. Lets review. So Gears had useable female characters? How about swords and actual melee combat that seems to have some sort of substance? And how is the plot of Q and Gears the same? You guys are just being fanboys now. If you wanna call Q a rip off then you need to turn around and call DI a rip off. Hack and Slash? check. Over the top gore? check. Huge "epic" boss battles? Check. Hell? Check. Abundance of nudity? Check. Troubled character with a bag load of sins and war crimes on his conscience? Check. And some of the footage leaves me believing we are going to see some QTEs in this game. And there is no way you can possibly know whether either game will suck. Basically all you guys are doing is using double standards.II_Seraphim_II

Let me get this straight, you think Dante's Inferno is a rip-off of GOW because it takes place in hell? Are you serious? The entire game takes place in the 9 circles of hell, as described by Dante Alighieri in the literary masterpiece, 'Inferno' from the 'Divine Comedy.' The rest of the game is of course loosely based on the Inferno, but has been made game transition friendly. How in the hell is that copying Kratos and GOW?

GOW merely has a HADES level and Kratos is not even an actual character within greek mythology. The 2 games are absolutely NOTHING alike, save for certain gameplay elements. GOW was not the first hack n' slash game with epic boss battles and Dante's Inferno sure as hell is not copying the artstyle and character design in GOW like Quantum Theory is from Gears either. So, if you think DI is ripping off the idea of hell from GOW, you are sorely mistaken, my friend....to say the least.

As far as Quantum Theory goes, I never said they copied the plot of Gears. I said the artstyle, characters and third person gameplay was blatantly ripped straight from Gears, which any one who has played or seen Gears can see. I will give it that it has a female character and some melee combat, but by and large it is indeed a complete Gears rip. In fact, I will be willing to bet that by the time this game gets reviewed, it will be ripped by the gaming media at large for just how much it has tried to copy Gears of War. Mark my words.

Well seems the point of this topic is just to bash a PS3 exclusive so guess i will start ignoring it.

No, if this game were a multiplat, we'd all be laughing.

"Anything will die if you bust it's head open."

Some real gems of dialogue in that two and a half minutes.

Doubt it fanboys will start comparing it to Uncharted 2 then you see 5000 topics about Uncharted 2 Vs Quantum and Uncharted 2 killer thats how I see things will turn out if it was multiplat.

No, I own a PS3 and love it to death. The game itself is just pure generic brand cheese....simple as that.

In all fairness, if the game is fun and good then I don't care if it's a rip-off. A good rip-off is awesome.

I mean, Dead Space really had almostnothing special about it and really took a lot of things from other games, but combined them all to make one of the best games this generation.

Though the dialouge in that trailer was AWESOME!

[QUOTE="TheGrat1"]I'm going to try and be different (fair). It actually looks good. Can anyone actually come up with valid reasons as to why it would be bad? And don't say crappy dialog because you can still have that and attain AA status on GS (Gears 1&2). Shooting mechanics look like they work. Cover mechanics look like they work. Melee looks fun. Art is interesting. Gothic architecture with an organic twist. Multiplayer confirmed. 7.5 at least.heretrix

Shooting mechanics look like they work? Cover mechanics look like they work? Jeez that's day one purchase material right there.

It looks like a subpar rippoff of a game that ripped off a subpar game but did it well.

Have never seen a game as blatant a ripoff as that. It's kinda...odd...you feel like you're watching Gears of War exactly...but you aren't.

Seriously, how is it that people can't see what a blatant ripoff this game is? Has nothing to do with the Playstation name. Even the enemies look similar to locust. At least with games like Ninja Blade they tried to differentiate their product from the norm (which was Ninja Gaiden at the time) with Quick Time events and such. There's almost nothing that doesn't look "Gears of War" in Quantum.

OK. Melee in Quantam looks way better than the melee in Gears. Happy now?TheGrat1

PS3 fans shouldnt be so defensive... all i see in here is people criticising Tecmo for creating a game which is similar in many ways to the Geow series.. i dont understand why honestly, its not like Tecmo are the first to take ideasfromother games...

It's a bad idea on Tecmo's part, tbh. Now they have to compete with a crowd pleaser. And if anyone thinks this won't get reviewed as anything more than a Gears clone, then they're in for a rude awakening. Reviewers will not be easy on this one.

ok but i'd still wait to see more about this game before stating its crap... they still have plenty of time to polish its visuals..

I don't think that's the part that concerns any of us. The game looks fine, graphically.

Honestly, I can't believe anyone is defending this game. A clone is bad enough. A clone that looks this bad is even worse. I usually play wait and see, but this one just rubbed me the wrong way.

Once again, God of War was not the first of violent action/adventure. kill.switch was before Gears, but the design and aesthetics of Quantum has certainly ripped off Gears.

I hope cows defend the game it'll just be more funny when it comes out.

and? It is still ripping off GOW like Quantum is ripping Gears. I'm not saying Quantum will be any good, I'm just sayin' it is just like Dante's Inferno, a clone which heavily borrows from another game. aaronmullan
