Will Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword be more epic than God of War 3?

[QUOTE="ForsakenWicked"][QUOTE="RTUUMM"]LOL @ Zelda, why do people see The Legend of Zelda as the second coming of Jesus? I dont see wats so good about Zelda, the only Zelda game I've played was the one for the GC and I thought it was pretty lame.brennan7777

It's far from an 'average' franchise, if you weigh up the quality of every game.

As if Zelda needs to compete with GOW thats funny

See they really are very different games Gow is about 8 hours of epic. If it was 30 + hours with towns and stuff like zelda games it would not have been as epic. Very different games.

It'll certainly have a better ending.

If you need to do more than hold the L trigger and spam the A button over and over to kill every monster in the game it may have a chance to be epic.

GOW3 was a flop not even as good as GOW2...Fightingfan

Well, duh. Zelda is always more epic than God of War, simply because of the sheer scope and expansiveness of the gameplay.charizard1605

Put the bomb on the crack in the wall, hold the L trigger and spam A when you see monsters, throw the boomerang at the stuff you cant reach, yea that really brings home the OHHHH and AWWWWW epic factor for me. And since a sheep mentioned that nintendo has said they are going to use the motion controls for puzzles, now the game is immediately insta fail. No thanks to being forced to wave my arms around like an idiot getting all frustrated at it when all I want to do is play a video game.

God of War: mash square or triangle when you see enemies and hold L2 to move statues and blocks. Don't worry, if you forget which button to press to move that statue, the game will usually remind you by displaying the button at the bottom.

See, I can do that too? Don't get me wrong, I love GoW, but don't even begin implying that Zelda's gameplay is mindless when you're trying to defend God of War.

DarugenCP:In fairness, you did GoW more justice than chrion133 did Zelda. He shows that he completely misses the point of the gameplay by focusing on things in Zelda that are ultimately of superficial importance. Once you know what to do in Zelda, there really isn't much else to it. He apparently doesn't get that.roxlimn

Maybe that's because I have actually played God of War for more than 10 minutes. :P

Skyward Sword looks promisin, but not sure its better than God of War 3

There was nothing "epic" about god of war 3 other than a few of the boss fights. The entire game is spent walking through bland linear corridors.

Zelda vs... God of War 3? Okay. :|

More heroic and poetic? Most definitely.

LOL that is a hilarious comparison.. a childish kids game being as epic as KRATOS....

Zelda > GoW imo...

Well, it will be more epic for me. :)

Now I love my Zelda games as much as the next guy, but I think we can all agree that the Zelda games usually don't have too much special going on with the story. Its hard to be really epic without a great story to follow. I'm not saying GoW3 is better. Just saying in general.

To be completely honest and blunt...

I didn't see a single thing about the new Zelda game that would make me think it is going to be more "epic" than God of War 3.

It just looked like any other 3D Zelda game with a slightly different look and some more motion controls tacked on.

Now that doesn't mean it's going to be crap, it might be more "fun" for all I know, but I really don't see it competing in terms of sheer "epicness" with a game like God of War 3 personally.

Words can't describe how amazing Skyward Sword looks. It's going to be the best Zelda game ever made. I'm hyping this more than I hyped Twilight Princess. Ten times more. I cannot wait. GOTY 2011 confirmed.princeofshapeir

Best one ever made huh? It woul be nice if they woul get some voice acting in the game & orchestra music. They also pushed the date back like some others have mentioned. One another note I think the God of War series could learn a few things from Legend of zelda & visa versa. No sense of exploration in God of War.

Bland? I must admit I am not a fan of linear gameplay, and hopefully Sony can get that fixed for the next one. But to say the levels are bland is a bit much dont you think?

is epic= good

no not necessarily

i think a lot of zelda games worked well without epicness but with cutesyness instead

Phantom Hourglass is more epic than God of War 3.

Considering like the biggest thing GOW has going for it presentation wise is trying to be epic, prob not in terms of in your face epic. Zelda can be epic but not in the badass ass GOW tries for. So the answer is sure but not in the same way GOW does it.

Pretty much.

I have a feeling this Zelda will have heavy focus on the narrative with 'GOW esque' moments. What i mean by that is specifically tailored gameplay segments for areas, never to appear again (on top of the usual Zelda gameplay). Sort of like TP and the sky temple boss and lakebed boss. Just a huinch

It had a very underwhelming showing thus far at E3. Definitely not the same level of "epicness" as God of War 3.

We'll never know. We will just have to stick to the new game play footage in order for us to know. And when it gets a higher rating than GOW3, then I guess it's probably more epic. :PDgalmun

Is that a prediction I hear?
