I still don't get the Ninja Blade copied GoW comment. It seems to me bit was much more akin to Ninja Gaiden than God of War.

^i edit my post

I agree about your view on God of War, it's not some kind of untouchable supergame. Far from it.

Anyway, your last line, what do u mean "DI looks to be a AC-like multi-platform performer"? Do u mean DI will get low 80's on gamerankings just like AC, or it will sell many millions like AC?

Maybe both, but I was thinking about upside surprise of quality.

Well...wrt to quality, I think we'd have to wait and see...infamous was an exclusive, and prototype wasn't...and to say that it's out of prototype's league is a totally wrong statement.  Will GOW3 be graphically superior to Dante's...probably, but is it going to be so superior it's not a comparison...time will tell, but I'll point out again, these games are made to make money, and that's a very important factor in determine the value of the final product.

sure making money is great, but what difference does that make to you as a gamer?

Infamous and Prototype are two new IP's, it was a toss up which would end up better. On the other hand God of War is a well established franchise with a history of quality versus a new IP. I can't imagine the logic that would go behind betting on the new IP.

I'm probably going to buy this and GoW3, Bayonetta and Demons Souls so I don't really understand the comments that you either need this or GoW3 but not both. Fighting demons in hell based on the poem sounds epic enough for a purchase. Admittedly I have to agree that in terms of quality I know GoW series can deliver but I'm not sure yet about this game.

Hmm. I don't remember any scenes in Inferno that involved Dante hacking and slashing his way around..kinda would've defeated the object of redemption lol.
Anyway, that said, this game looks like it could be a hell of a lot a fun. pun intended.

I'm not sure what you mean by "betting" on DI?  I think there is a strong possibility that GOW3 will be the superior product, and if marketed correctly, could deliver solid numbers.  As we've seen with Gears aof War and Assasin's Creed, new IP doesn't mean average results...so at this point, I'm not "placing bets" on what the final state of DI will be for quality and sales...I said, and I think it looks promising at this point. 

WRT to sales, it matter ALOT as a gamer, since top performers get top billing for resources from the studios.  The name of the game is ROI, so you don't get points for being a favorite of a small group of players.  Unlike some, I don't think M$ has done too much with Halo...in fact, to me, it's not doing enough.  If sales aren't important, why does VGC report sales weekly, in those America Up...Japan Up...PAL UP are usually hot topics.  Seems like for a gaming site called Video Games Chartz, somebody thought it important to chart games performance...discussions of quality are important, but so are sales, imho.

yeah, but sales and quality aren't related. So if someone is saying "this game is going to be better" and you keep saying "well it won't sell that great" then you two are having two different conversations. So I will say again, he meant nothing about sales, you started the thing about sales.

VGC provides sales for those interested, but that doesn't mean Halo is better than Psychonauts because it sold far better. As a gamer sales just means if they get a sequel and keep their usual resources. GoW has had more than enough success to garner sequels and have gotten enough resources to keep making fantastic games, so as a gamer them getting a few million more sales won't affect me other than feeling thankful for the sake of the guys who made it. But again, that has nothing to do with which game will be better or which one should be more looked forward to which is what the person you replied to was talking to.

So how does the sales of GoW affect the idea that GoW3 will more than likely be better than Dante's Inferno?
