Was just reading the news on N4G when I came across this:

I've played SoTC and this looks very much identical. In fact, according to the article, it even has gameplay similarities. Now I wonder why Sony still hasn't made a PSN SoTC yet. If Ninty can build a game from scratch as a clone to SoTC I'm sure Sony can port it for the PS3 gamers. 

They're not very much identical at all.

The only similarities it draws to SotC is that is also has large bosses (one with fur), and you also have to hit their weak points for massive damage. It begins and ends there.

Something can't be very much identical, it either is identical or it isn't. Furthermore the amount of effort NG4 put into that article tells you how seriously they take the point.

Hitting the the weak points on very large bosses, why does that sound familiar.....?

Because it's a mechanic that's been used in 90% of adventure/rpg games since we went 3D?

YEah because Nintendo is developing it? Um I don't think so. Anyway I don't know how an ARPG is identical to an Action-Adventure. Yes they do look similar, but there are some significant, and obvious changes.

The more of a SotC clone it is, the better :)

i thought core gamers dont like clones?

depends on the genre, SotC was a unique game and anything similar can only be be good thing, gamers hate or pretend to hate halo/quake/half life clones

So this game will be like SOTC then?

Not likely. If you go into this game expecting a similar experiance to SotC, you'll surely be disappointed.

Saying that, I have high hopes for this, I just don't expect a similar game to Shadow.
