Electronic Arts released this new developer diary about Dante's Inferno's seventh circle: Violence. Considering how gory this game can be, it's quite a sight.
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (2 Days ago)

I found the demo fun(despite the constant tutorial pop-ups), the gameplay tight, and the visuals appealing.
I loved God of War, and I loved Dead Space, so it only makes sense that I'd love a God of War clone made by the makers of Dead Space. I'll probably pick this up(or definitely rent it depending on game length and extra modes, etc...).
GoW3 it's not, but it's still a fun game, especially for those that only have a 360. Soo many games coming out in 2010 I have no idea where I'm gonna find the time.
And god of war is a Rygar-Berserk-Shen Mue (QTE)-Devil may Cry - Onimusha - The Mark of Kri - clone so its supossed to be crap ?
God make your homeworks before talking such nonsense. God of War did not invent the genre it just mixed it in the games own way. ( btw NG was always much much much better )
Games always steal from each other and the truth is that many of what are considered to be the greatest games have borrowed a great deal of their ideas from elsewhere. True originality in the majority of genres is not actually what anyone really wants if they try hard to be honest about it.

Somehow i knew that Bayonetta would be the best action game this generation so far ( Box version of cause)
Only the game doesn't really seem to have much in common with the divine comedy other than the levels of hell :P At least last i checked Dante wasn't a badass muthafu**ah who killed DEATH and romped through hell possibly killing the goddamn devil at the end to save his buxomous wife ;) Sure you can see the references but i think calling it "based on" is just wrong, as opposed to "incredibly loosely inspired by" which i think is a way more fitting phrasing of it.
Sure the game has it's own identity purely graphically (well, i'd say that's somewhat dubious as well as Hades springs to mind instantly) but the way the game works is just a straight clone of GoW with hardly any changes at all. You could replace Dante with Kratos and call it "God of war 4: Kratos goes to hell" and the only general complaint you'd hear would be that the gfx sucks :P

2. Everyone loves hack n slash games, if they are done well.
3. Hence, there's still as much room for this genre as there is for the FPS genre.
4. Profit!!!??!?
The point is, i never played god of war, but i do know that god of war itself is an evolution of the game Knights of the Temple, which was the first true third person hack n slash (light and heavy attack control style) game i ever played.
(dont bring the ninja gaiden games into this, they are different)
This game, being set partly in the Templar age, reminds me far more of Knights of the Temple than God of War. In the feel of the controls too, it feels very similar.
Its a bit like Halo fanboys who thought Halo was the first FPS ever made.
God of war is a totally different story than KotT and if you think that a crap game like that spawned third person action games i suggest you educate yourself. And why not mention Ninja Gaiden? That game is a shining example of what a great third person combat game is all about. But hey, I'd also like to mention the DMC series and even Shinobi on the PS2 as great third person action games while KotT deserves no mention at all. If that is your only reference i suggest you play some of the competition or clam it.
