DMC and GoW don't draw the same comparisons. Completely different styles and of course, you can shoot in DMC

Before Dante's Inferno, there was repeated comparisons between God of War and Devil May Cry.  In one interview with the lead designer of God of War, he even made mention of Devil May Cry.  Anyhow, it isn't the gameplay that makes God of War stand out, it is the story, acting and voice narrative that do.

1/ it is not because you talk about a game or even compare it to another that you say it is a rip-off particularly when you consider GoW is A LOT less deep in term of gameplay than DMC but still deliver a lot in term of "fun". You also can't say GoW is just a copy.

At the opposite, Dante is just a copy of GoW outside new settings.

28/ lol at """it isn't the gameplay that makes God of War stand out, it is the story, acting and voice narrative"""

you play GoW to see Kratos talk ? I m not even able to remember if he talk to anything outside boss before killing them !

you play GoW because of the accessible gameplay that give you badass feeling, amazing art style, and insane scale.

Just wait a little for january massive preview that will kick some serious butt (like best looking title on console) and putting back Dante in the Lumb

And yes,, of course GoW is very different from DMC, but it would not be the game game it is without DMC. There is no question that it drew influence from at least some portion of the DMC formula, it is very similar. The gameplay is different, the music and gameflow is different, and the games themselves are VERY different, but the structure is the same. At its basic wire frame heart, the games share a similar build, and that build was invented by DMC. Saying that isn't true, is claiming that the two games similarities are purely coincidental, which is absurd.

Anyway, it seems this might be leading to at least one person claiming that DMC had no influence on GoW which would make me a little physically ill, so I'm just gonna leave it at that.

DI is a direct ripoff of GoW, yes, but GoW(and most other games ever created) isn't a very original game anyway, so pots don't call the kettle black. I don't know why anyone would be upset that a game is ripping off another one. Dead Space was great, there is a PS3 exclusive ripping off Gears of War, and I'm sure that most games derive from others ideas. It's evoution, and it is a good thing for gaming.
