i thought the CGI looked great, but am i the only one who thought they could have hired a more talented artist for the "Comic" Sequences? They actually looked horrible!

The games is pretty far out from release, so maybe they still doing some polishing.  Ohh...that beast riding thing was cool...did they "steal" that from God of War as well?

Yep....Kratos beats up on, then takes over giant cyclopses. There's absolutely nothing in DI that's not in GoW



I enjoyed the demo. Lol!
Just like I said in the previous inFAMOUS vs Prototype thread. If you're a PS3 owner buy bought because we have again the luxury of enjoying both games. That's all.

PS. DI is a GOW rip-off but that's not a bad thing IMO. Anyone who's arguing against it being a rip-off is only fooling themselves or haven't played GOW.



basically, if you only own a 360, get this game, if you own a PS3 and are on a budget, wait for GoW3, or get both if you want the collector's edition.....????



Can't say anythign about the demo, but watching the video at the start of the thread... I'm more eager to play the copy of Spyborgs I just bought than this game.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

The CG's in DI were pretty good, but sadly, GOW2 from the GOW collection looked as good and in many instances better than DI (no I am not even kidding). Is DI a horrible game? No, I can't judge it much from the demo, but it didn't blow me away like the GOW3 demo. Also the comic part was just horrible. If EA was gonna turn around and copy, they could have at least looked at Infamous' comic parts (which were very well made). DI felt a bit stiff to me (although I admit, I liked the dashing a bit).
As for Bayonetta, the story does not convince me at all. Bayonetta is basically DMC clone (obvious reasons) that also takes the speedup side of Viewtiful Joe (again obvious reasons). Surprisingly many place Bayo as the second coming when it's not. And I agree with someone else's comment, the creator of Bayo was not involved in DMC3 and that was easily the best DMC in the whole series lol. The one thing that would have made DMC3 perfect to ME is if you could switch styles like Dante was able to do in 4, but other than that, best DMC hands down. Anyways, I do want to apologize for going off topic on this one.



Bayonetta I can see being called better than God of War, but as someone who played all 3 demoes and all the God of War games I don't think Dante's Inferno was even as good as God of War 1. It was bad. Very bad. Gameplay was horrible, plot of the game was some sick bastardization of the epic poem reworked to show as much boobs and guts as possible, and it lacked any of the clever setting of God of War.

See, while Kratos may be a meathead, God of War is actually pretty accurate to the coniving bastards that the Greek Pantheon was in the original Greek epics, and deserves credit for a pretty successful recreation of ancient Greece and its mythology.

Dante's Inferno plays like someone read the cliff notes to the poem, then said "you know what, fuck this. Copy the names of characters and scrap everything else."



I didn't really like the demo. The graphics were kinda a letdown as well

So, God of War is a great take on Greek Pantheon...lol..I'll beg to differ on that.  After playing DI, it's a bit over the top, kinda like Bayonetta, but I am curious by this statement "...I don't think Dante's Inferno was even as good as God of War 1..."in what way?

Well, first of all, I'm half Greek and grew up on the Greek epics. Jason and the Argonauts was literally a bedtime story for me, so I seriously doubt you have the knowledge to argue with me on the Greek Pantheon. If you're complaining about it changing the history of the Greek Pantheon, almost every single story in it was in conflict with another, so there is no complete history, and characters were added and history changed with every new story. What you can follow on the Greek Pantheon are characterizations, which God of War was quite accurate on most of the time.

As for it not being as good as God of War 1, I'd begin with the mediocre combat. An attempt to copy God of War, it's not nearly as smooth and the combos aren't nearly as interesting. In addition the enemies lack any early variety, and the first boss fight was nothing but a pathetic guard and slash. The scale is pathetic compared to GoW, and the setting an extremely shallow, poor, and fractured representation of the Divine Comedy, which the developers have even dropped the theme of completely. I'd carry on with the forgettable music and the mediocre graphics (for this generation), and end with the fractured pacing broken plot delivery.

I also find it insulting to Bayonetta to compare it to this.

Hope that answers your questions.
