.. EDIT....wow he changed that flamebait title quickly

my question...why put 'dantes inferno to be better than gow3' in the first place?

GWAVE5336d ago

Yeah, especially when they're implying that a multiplatform game made by EA will be better than a game from one of the best series of all time utilizing graphics and physics technology that has yet to be seen this gen...

gameseveryday5336d ago

well i guess this is more of a preview

Montrealien5336d ago (Edited 5336d ago )

what I hate more are the people that actually comment on them and give them the hits by making it hot.

*runs into a wall*

gameseveryday5336d ago

I am sorry abt the same. Had a confusion with the title. Thanks

SupaPlaya5335d ago (Edited 5335d ago )

"I am sorry abt the same. Had a confusion with the title. Thanks "

"will dantes inferno defeat gow3"

How are you confused about that title? That phrase was no where to be found in the 3 short paragraph preview. It seems you made it up to get more hits/heat.

At least you changed it...

with the only purpose to get hits... ugh!

BulletToothtony5336d ago

will Dante's Inferno defeat GoW III??

gameseveryday5336d ago

so guys what do u thnk? will it be anything closer to GOW3?

Alcon Caper5336d ago

Honestly, I always thought aspects of God of War were kinda silly. I mean, it had some addicting gameplay and the use of weapons and qtes were groudbreaking, but it seemed to be a little repetitive and the story, especially in 2 was a bit of an overkill...

That being said, I think Dante's inferno is just god of war on drugs. Probably with less precision and an even more silly premise. God of war 3 will definitely out perform this thing unless it brings something new to the table, which is seriously doubtful.

randomwiz5335d ago

My personal opinion, its turning out to be a pretty cool game, but GOW3 is just a must buy. The graphics, are probably much better in gow, and the gow series is really fun. Kratos is a known character, known by many people.

but ill hold my opinion until I actually see some real gameplay.

jack_burt0n5336d ago

No its not even flattery imo its just plain immitation the preview build is disappointing, best to take a genre thats failing and spruce it up like dead space than choose one that is being finely sharpened like an axe that is about to chop the genres head off and s**t down its throat.

Dan GamingBolt5336d ago

Well, i wrote this preview because i am a big fan of god of war, and this game looks really really similar so thats a good thing! i love this style of gameplay.

GhostScholar229d ago (Edited 229d ago )

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

gold_drake229d ago

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

Cacabunga228d 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👍🏽

Rancegamerx229d ago

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

Cacabunga228d ago

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

H9228d 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

GooGobbler229d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666229d ago

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

ravens52228d ago

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

gpimlott228d ago

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

ravens52228d ago (Edited 228d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara218d 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.

Christopher228d ago (Edited 228d 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.

ravens52228d 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.

savedsynner228d 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

ravens52228d ago

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

Nerdmaster229d 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.

-Foxtrot229d 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.

Nerdmaster228d 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.

BrainSyphoned229d ago

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

H9228d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1229d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake228d ago (Edited 228d ago )

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

Nerdmaster228d 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.

LoveSpuds572d ago (Edited 572d 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.

Inverno572d 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_Suzumiya572d 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.

Hellcat2020572d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds572d 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_Suzumiya572d ago

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

refocusedman572d ago

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

YoungKingDoran572d 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

darthv721529d ago

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

Silly gameAr1527d ago

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

Ratchet751527d ago

It's the only GOW clone around. 😉

specialguest1528d ago

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

darthv721527d ago

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

Ratchet751527d 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.

Kombatologist1526d 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.
