This you see is the classic "Nintedo problem". A great game that was as you correctly stated a critical and commercial success is considered "nothing to brag about" by what I am assuming ( forgive me if I am wrong ) is a Nintendo supporter. So in a parallel world if God Of War was a Nintendo game it would have flopped if we take irstupid's opinion of it as general among the Nintendo crowd. Nintendo fans it seems are hard to please and while some might take this as a positive, financially it can spell a bit of a disaster in the long term. |
No i'm just saying I would hardly give someone credit for mashing two things together.
It's not a new unique IP, its greed gods in a hack a slash. The game may be good, but the idea is hardly worth mentioning.
HOw about he make his own world, with its own laws and own gods and own mythology ect. The reason i brought up percy jackson was for that reason. Looking at my bookshelf quickly I'll name some books series. Stormlight Archive, Wheel of Time, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Song of Ice and Fire, Kingkiller Chronicles, oh and Percy Jackson.
Every single one of those series has its own unique world, except percy jackson who is ripping off greek mythology. It's easy to take greek mythology, roman mythology, marines, navy seals, ww2, ect an toss them in a game. You aren't creating anything. Half you game is already done for you. Everyone knows who ares is and thus needs barely any explanation about his history and what not. Or if you do you just go on wikipedia and copy paste.
I give more credit to fresh original ideas such as pikman, heavenly sword, elder scrolls or things like that.
