| Slimebeast said: It's you who don't listen. Everything is inspired by something else, yes, but when looking at Lords of Shadows it's so obvious that the main inspiration is to copy God of War. This game would look completely different if there was no God of War. Exactly like Dante's Inferno. I hear you when you say that Castlevania was inspired by Devil may Cry in past iterations and that's how they justify making Lords of Shadow. But fact is they saw God of War and thought that's the best way to do it so we'll do it too. And your quota from the article is just a poor PR spin. Of course they aren't gonna admit that they copied someone else. It's like Naughty Dog would say they didn't rip off Tomb Raider because there were other games that had a hero jumping between ledges or they didn't rip off Gears of War because some other game had a cover system. |
I did not say it was inspire by Devil May Cry. You really aren't listenign at all. 3-D Castlevania predates Devil May Cry by several years.
You have no basis on which to state their intentions or their actions as to take it.
Now, you and I are goign to have an exercise. You're going to explain to me how they ripped off God of War in a way that is unique to that series. If you want to do it with Devil May Cry instead, be my guest.
And no, "Anyone who looks can see it" is not an answer. You have to be specific, or you have failed.
