God Of War Has Been Cloned By EA Now Dante's Inferno Is Ready For Battle

According the to the February issue of PSM3, "Button-for-Button the control are identical to God of War's". So GOW fans should feel right at home with this upcoming title, with square and triangle being your light and heavy attacks, circle for grabbing enemies, etc. If that's not enough to quench your thirst Dante will also have magical abilities along with his trusty cross, that he can use as projectile weapon

there will not be a good gow clone until gow3!!

Marceles5497d ago (Edited 5497d ago )

Rygar for PS2 also had similar buttons but...yay for controversial headlines

Bnet3435497d ago

All the guy had to do was take out "God Of War Has Been Cloned By EA Now" and he'd have a legit article. This is just poor journalism.

IdleLeeSiuLung5497d ago

This game sounds interesting! Looking forward to it.

nbsmatambo5497d ago

this article is a fail....

just wanting hits

rambi805497d ago (Edited 5497d ago )

At this rate the term "Professional games journalist" is going to have the same reaction as "Professional Wrestler"

And that might be insulting to wrestlers

dragunrising5497d ago

Wolverine says hi. Apparently the movie to game adaptation will be a clone of GOW2 also. Considering that GOW is as good as it is, who cares if any game imitates it.

Public service announcement: Don't click the link

Why the hell do you have every multiplatform title filed under a Microsoft tag?! Is it because you want to imply that they are only on Xbox 360? you jack ass!

And then you are a coward that don't even show up here in the comments when everybody is complaining about your stupid lame headlines just to get hits! and give an explanation on why you are calling yourself a journalist, when all you do is post stupid $hit stolen from other sited, bragging is exclusive your site (Assassin's Creed 2 info)

POS! come and respond to my comment.. I dare you!

Genesis55497d ago (Edited 5497d ago )

I once read a book by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournell called Inferno. It was set it this depiction of hell. It is still one of my most favorite books ever if you can find a copy it really is worth the read.

About the GOW clone thing. Well like they say at least we'll know the button mapping. Though I am hoping it will be a good game. I don't think it will be in the same league as GOW.

rambi805497d ago

hip hop gamer might be a tabloid clone.

RememberThe3575497d ago

I know you guys love jumping on bandwagons, but how about we call people out when they actually do something wrong not because of who they are...

(The sad thing is that few of you are going to understand that)

lol you need help bro, btw bro what do you think N4G does LOL!. N1

Lifendz5496d ago

once a game establishes itself as the perenial title in it's genre I want other games to use the same control scheme. Madden, NBA 2K, Call of Duty 4, and now GOW. No biggie here. So long as Dante isn't a shirtless Spartan seeking vengeance for the death of his family I think a little copying is just fine. In fact, I want a dev making a game like God of War to play God of War and see what the series did right. Just like I want a dev making a first person shooter to play COD4.

Heck, I'd own RE5 if Capcom had played a little Deadspace and realized that moving and shooting is actually more realistic than fighting like a British soldier in the revolutionary war (i.e. standing still when shooting).

...hiphopgamer....just stop..

dachiefsman5497d ago

hiphopgamer please go play in traffic.

Every game on the market does what you speak of....god of war could be called a clone of something else except the introduction of quick time events.

Every time I see your posts I want to drive rail road spikes into my eyes.

games4fun5497d ago

but didnt shenmue have quicktime events before everything?

Marceles5497d ago

You could say Dragon's Lair did it first

Rock Bottom5497d ago

The chains were original though. :D

As far as I know. :(

Narutone665497d ago

GhostScholar211d ago (Edited 211d ago )

I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.

gold_drake211d ago

omg chloe was awful. i really hated her at the end haha

Cacabunga210d ago

Abby was absolute trash protagonist in every way..
Tidus was so meh to me..
On villain side, the one i didn’t like wa Micah, because they wanted him to be that way and it was brilliant👍🏽

Rancegamerx210d ago

I agree, I liked Max, Chloe was a horrible friend and a bad influence.

Cacabunga210d ago

Everyone agrees on chloe, I’m sure even ND do.

H9210d ago

Both are horrible, granted Chloe is infinitely worse, it feels like Chloe is just fanservice for people who too over the edge and wasn't written to be a character that makes sense

GooGobbler211d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666210d ago

exactly I was expecting it to be a the top of the list

ravens52210d ago

Ye I was expecting her too. Guess they actually played the game. Unlike you and whoever agrees.

gpimlott209d ago

I played through the whole game and think she is one of the worst character Ive ever played as

ravens52209d ago (Edited 209d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara200d ago

Why would I payed and played the game if the whole internet is making fun of a character?

-Im here to kill Chaos...are you Chaos?

Yeah, I didn't play that game either.

Christopher210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

She's actually not bad. It's the writing itself that is bad overall, but she's fine overall. She's no worse than Miles Morales IMHO. Both thrust into a spotlight and receiving both praise and blame and dealing with it.

Forspoken is a bland game because it's 75% bland, boring, repetitive going through the motions and diversions that add nothing of the value with purposefully gated memory moments that don't feel organic or like you're discovering things but waiting for others to reveal things.

ravens52210d ago

Exactly Chris. Even though I liked the game. I kno u played it. People who actually played it and went thru her dream saw she was a good likeable person who really just acted out due to being alone and unloved. I think your problem is it was open world, I think if it was more linear you may have liked it better.

savedsynner210d ago

Oh no she's bad. Very unlikable even before you add on the bad dialogue. The game could have been quite good with a good protagonist

ravens52210d ago

For all the people like synner. Shes actually half white lol. Inferior complexity is a hell of a thing. You'll be ok.

Nerdmaster211d ago

Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.

-Foxtrot210d ago

Squall is one of the best developed main FF characters so...

People talk about his "whatever" thing thats at the start of the game, not the character he eventually becomes in the end.

Nerdmaster210d ago

No amount of "character development", (especially the ones that for me feels sudden and undeserved like Squall's), will justify him being a d**k to my girl Quistis. Even if he found the cure for cancer, from that moment on, I would never like him.
The article is about being unlikeable, and he was indeed unlikeable for at least half of the game.

BrainSyphoned210d ago

Squall is the best protagonists in FF so you can go whatever yourself.

H9210d ago

My good sir, I need to steal that "you can go whatever yourself" because it's gold

BlaqMagiq1210d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

the "watever" is only present in the english localisation.
so your argument doesnt rly ... stand imo.

Nerdmaster210d ago

Good for you that you could enjoy the japanese version. That's not the case for me and the majority of people here, though.

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds554d ago (Edited 554d ago )

I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.

I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.

Inverno554d ago

Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.

Yui_Suzumiya554d ago

Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.

Hellcat2020554d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds554d ago

Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?

Yui_Suzumiya554d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman554d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

YoungKingDoran554d ago

I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.

Wow
The effort here is overwhelming

darthv721511d ago

Sad this may never get the sequel it deserves. It's still one of the best GoW clones around.

Silly gameAr1509d ago

I agree. I still have my copy, but a sequel would have been awesome.

Ratchet751509d ago

It's the only GOW clone around. 😉

specialguest1510d ago

I would love to revisit my old PS3 games played at a higher framerate and resolution. UC2, TLOU, GOW3, KZ2 & 3, Demon Souls

darthv721509d ago

I know you can with UC2, TLoU and GoW3... just get the PS4 versions. Oh and i think Demon Souls as well.

Ratchet751509d ago

100% with u on that one.
Could you imagine a dead space on ps4/x1 and maybe a VR version.
And what about that Star Wars game they cancelled? They must have regretted it after seeing JFO's success.
This company is run by morons.

Kombatologist1508d ago

Yep. :( They care more about current trends than making a truly great game. It was their fault Dead Space 3 didn't do as well as 2 because, against the devs' wishes, they wanted it to have co-op because MuLtIpLaYeR > SiNgLePlAyEr. It's scary that companies like EA have so much influence on the industry.
