Played the demo, it's basically a Christianity-based god of war with Infamous's karma system for upgrades. It's fun to play, but dark as hell.
 
It really is very much like God of War. I enjoyed the demo very much. I enjoy having one of the main attacks buttons be a ranged attack. Gonna have to check this out.

Demo's up? awesome :P and I thought there was a thread of this hmm, maybe just my imagination. Ah well, awesome.
 
It's awesome, very much like God of War though, which isn't a bad thing at all. I love the genre and the whole creepy depressing darkness of the game. I'm gonna wait and see what the critics say before I buy it though.
 
So it's pretty much a fast paced hack n' slasher? Sounds like it's right up my alley.
 
I wouldn't call this a God of War clone for the same reason I wouldn't call Bayonetta a Devil May Cry clone. Personally, I despise the DMC and GoW games. However, I find myself in complete love with Bayonetta and will be buying Dante's Inferno day 1 though I'm not as excited for it as Bayonetta. I thought after playing these two demos I'd maybe had a change of heart on the genre so I rented the upgraded GoW games and booted up my PC version of DMC3. Yeah, not the case, I still don't like them.

My only complaints about the game is that the gameplay graphics are very poor, except when you fight that shinigami (he looked badass). I was expecting at least Dead Space quality. This will probably be chalked up to it being another bad port though like PS3 demo of Bayonetta is no where near the performance and visual quality of the 360 demo. At least this game ran flawlessly, unlike Bayonetta which has a lot of tearing and slow down. They've still got time to fine tune it though so hopefully for the PS3 crowd's sake they do some more work.

I dun get why you'd like Bayonetta but not DMC and then Dante's Inferno but not GoW. Ah well, to each their own. Prolly more a setting/character thing? Or does the gameplay feel better on those two rather than what they're "cloning"??

And yar, Dante's Inferno was fun. I loved killing the Grim Reaper (I'm assuming that's who it was) and taking his freaking scythe XD I love the lore in Christianity cause there is some neat stuff and it seems this game might have it.

And your reasoning for this is because you don't like DMC or GoW, but you like those games. That's not really a valid reason, especially with Bayonetta, since it's made by the same guy and he's said that Bayonetta is how he wanted to make the DMC games to begin with. Just because you like one game and hate another doesn't mean they're not clones or at least extremely similar.

I also didn't say it was a clone, I just said it's a very similar experience to GoW(roughly), which it is. The style of combat is the same, the upgrade system is the same(albeit with light/dark depending on if you save/kill enemies like in infamous); the only things that are really different is the theme(christian religion vs. greek religion) and a bit of the art style.

I know why.

I myself would rather stare at Bayonetta for hours on end, rather than Dante (DMC).

That is not my reasoning, just a statement. I didn't give a reasoning. The reason I mentioned I disliked the GoW and DMC games should make a fuckin' bulb pop and send that college education you have into working mode. For instance, if someone that I know doesn't like Diablo told me to check out Torchlight, not being much a fan of Diablo myself, I'd be more apt to check it out than if a Diablo fiend told me to check it out.

If you want to consider DMC, GoW, Ninja Gaiden (Xbox and up) to be the same game, that is fine with me, it is your opinion. However, don't try to tell me I should consider a baseball and a softball the same just because their core is the same.

You should have tried this:

It spans from small things such as music, color, and visuals to big things such as difficulty, fighting styles, weapon/s used, and the can, cant's, and needs of defending yourself (i.e. In NG Sigma 2 you can't cancel your combo after you start it but in Bayonetta and Dante's Inferno you can block or evade to -cancel- a combo or special and in the GoW games you barely even need to defend yourself).
 
Ah that is right, god of war doesn't have much to defend compared to some games but that's more the character type I think of Kratos "Fuck defense, offense all the way!" hehe. Kinda fun how some seemingly minor differences can make a game fun compared to another.
 
Have you guys never played God of War on God/Titan modes? I'm not sure about never needing to defend/dodge..

Yeah......its brutal if I do say so myself.

GoW, DMC, NG, and now Bayonetta; they all share core concepts as far as the battle and upgrade systems, but have quirks that make each one different. You cant say theyre clones (since clones tend to be identical) but you also cant rule out the fact that again, they share core concepts and principles.

If you're finding GoW tough on God mode or GoW II tough on Titan mode, you're just not killing fast enough or you're playing it on your first playthrough. I don't even remember dying in my God run and I never bothered to finish my Titan run (2-day rental). I do remember neither being frustrating at all much less as frustrating as DMC 1-3 could get.
 
i'm pretty impressed with this demo, plays pretty much the same as gow but i dont really think thats an issue, will definatly be picking this up
 
The demo is on Xbox Live now and as I expected, it looks a lot better.
 
a lot better? O.o
 
More crisp and clean for me. Still though, not Dead Space quality.
 
this game is soooo getting banned here like god of war XD
