It's incredible how much of a rip off this is. From the battle system, to some move animations, as well as the orb collection and even the bars on the top left looking eerily similar.

I know everyone here is annoyed that Dante's Inferno is ripping off GOW, but is it still a good game? If everything is exactly the same then it should still be good since God of War is a great game. If the quality is lowered like Conan then I could understand but as of right now no one had said it was bad except that it shamelessly rips off another game.

I agree ... we will soon have an answer

Time to Work !

All those game play aspects below were pretty much what made Inferno feel far too much like God of War. I can see that I wasn't the only one here who felt like they were playing a mod of God of War with re-skinned resources and environments. Even the basic premise of challenging supernatural beings over the love of a lost wife was copied.

For some reason, I thought Inferno was going to be something other than a hack and slash, but if you're going to copy a formula, you may as well copy a proven formula (the best of its time) and port it to a platform that doesn't have God of War if the demand for the genre is there.

Personally, I couldn't see it as anything more than a poor substitute for GoWIII for those without PS3s, and given a choice between the two, Inferno comes off as looking a bit like a cheap knockoff compared to the revamped PS3 GoW game engine and visuals.

- 2 button attack system
- rolling to avoid attack using right stick
- health/mana bar = gow
- fountain = chest of gow
- similar arean combo
- lot of QTE to finish enemies
- 1 guy fighting GODs
- gore
- girl showing their tits
- QTE finish

those are from me, thx you lol

also, technically, If I follow Ngroal : GoW3 will take the gfx crown from all the console games

God of War was a ripoff of DMC, imho.

Games steal from each other. When DMC came out, it kinda invented the subgenre that GoW, Ninja Gaiden, DMC, Dante's Inferno, the new 3d castlevania games, Rygar, and Bayonetta are in right now. Just joining that subgenre is in a way, ripping off DMC.

Anyway, Dead Space was a direct ripoff of RE4, with a different premise, and that game was great. It wouldn't surprise me if DI differentiated itself enough for some people to actually prefer it to other games in that subgenre.

I guess Bishock, Modern Warfare and Half Life 2 are all shameless ripoffs of Wolfenstein 3D.

Great post as usual Zen.

complete crap .....

To some extent it is like saying DMC is a complete rip-off of others beat them all like Street of rage ou Double Dragon

Of course, GoW is another beat them all but it brought a lot of new stuff like his own pacing, gameplay, easy and brutal and a lot of cinematic QTE ... etc ...

At the opposite, Dante is using original settings and art style BUT borrow a LOT of things to GoW like :

- 2 button attack system
- rolling to avoid attack using right stick
- health/mana bar = gow
- fountain = chest of gow
- similar arean combo
- lot of QTE to finish enemies
- 1 guy fighting GODs
- gore
- girl showing their tits
- QTE finish

Best explanation I've heard today.

GOW and DMC use two different formulas and I love the GOW formula much more.

That's your personal preference and opinion and there's nothing wrong with it. But you can't deny the fact that Dante has majorly mimiced what God of War does.
