As you know God of War 3and Dante's Inferno areawesome games but from the prospectives of the demos, i think Dante's Inferno is going to be better than God of War 3. What do you guys think.

ugh why does there always have to be this...this game vs this game going on????? and anybody notice its always a PS3 exclusive against a multiplatform game???? anyway....youre just speaking out of ignorance in my opinion...you feel better about DI because youve played the demo which was really good i know and probably a little better than the GOW3 demo...but youll see my friend...GOW 3 will deliver

Not by a long shot. Have both demos. GoW still has that extra something that makes it better. Bigger scale, more brutal combos, variety.

DI is the best GoW copycat Ive seen so far, but it fails in many departments. Im just guessing here, but DI from the demo, it looks like a solid 8, 8.5 at most.

It is cool, but its not THAT cool.

I'm going to play the Dante's Inferno demo in a little bit, but I played the GoW3 demo yesterday and was blown away. GoW is my favorite action franchise, even above DMC and Ninja Gaiden. Honestly, Dante's Inferno seems like a blatant ripoff of the GoW series, but I guess I can't judge it until it actually comes out. Could be good, but if it isn't, I won't care, because I know GoW3 is gonna be great!

Is being a rip-off a bad thing? What if a game ripped completely off of MGS and was better in every way. I thought the only thing DI was ripping off was some of the fighting mechanics and monsters, but then again, what game doesn't have combos or button mashing

There's a difference between 'borrowing' gameplay/story/atmospheric aspects from another game and completely copying another game. As for this game in particular, like I said I won't judge it until it comes out, but this is just what I've been thinking based on what I've seen of the game so far. I just played the demo, and I didn't like it. It did feel very similar to God of War, but much worse imo. I thought the combat was just ok, not great, the areas felt dull, and I felt like I'd much rather just play GoW. I can't pinpoint exactly why I didnt like it, so maybe it's just not clicking with me. I'll still keep an eye on this game, though. By the way, I'd be pissed if some game ripped off MGS completely, even if it was better in every way. Ripping completely off another game is basically stealing, and Kojima and co. deserve better than that. :p

I never played a GoW game but I'm sure it's like Dante's Inferno and Devil May Cry so I'm going to assume that it's a Awesome game.

After playing both demos I think GOW3 wins by far. DI just felt too sluggish to me and seemed like another button masher. I also really didn't like the nudity, it's not me being conservative but it just felt like it was pushed in just as a sort of shock factor with how blantent it was. I thought the graphics weren't to great either, mainly Dante's face, for someone who beats death you think he would look a little more bad ass.

The GOW demo blew me away. The graphics were incredible, the gameplay quick and fun. The brutallity was great and felt just like a GOW game but brought to a whole new level of bloodiness. Kratos also looks and acts much angrier than Dante and imo for this type of game the character should show that sort of anger(that or the DMC3 approach and make them totally cool about the whole thing).

DI just felt like another button masher while GOW3 felt more unique. I am definitely going with GOWIII next year.

I may not have played GOW3, but I own the first one.

It does seem like an alternate version of the same game. So with that, I've done Greek mythology before (ala GOW). So if I were to buy another one, I'll be buying Dante's Inferno.

I thought the GOW III demo was stronger than Dante's Inferno. DI is almost a note for note clone of the GOW series. I dig those type of games so will get both.

Dante's Inferno demo was awesome! I can't wait to get this game. I'll be playing the GOW lll demo next, so hopefully I'll like it. I don't see why I wouldn't though. Oh and yes Dante's Inferno is pretty much GOW, but that certainly isn't a bad thing. The game is still sweet.

If people are complaining about GOW III and DI are alike so there is no point of playing GOW 2 after GOW 1 because they were same. What motivates gamers to play part 2 after GOW 1 was the story the theme the curiosity of what will happen next...... it is the same perspective we should use regarding DI and GOW3 even though the game play is same but the stories and action is totally different. what you guys say... ?

I like Dante's Inferno's art style better. Everytime I see an ad, I can't help but have it pique my interest, and this is before the ad tells me what game it's for.

i'm going to get both. anyone who will not get dante's inferno because they think it's a "clone" will miss out on what will probably be a great game. the level design of dante's inferno is going to be tight. i understand the "vs" topics if people enjoy discussing and comparing two different games, but i don't understand people dismissing dante's inferno simply because of it's similarities with god of war. by that logic, people should dismiss first person shooter's and 2d fighting games.

IMO, GΩW3 is the best. The gameplay, the weapons, the storyline... everything. I am a big fan of the series...

Dante's Inferno is a great game, too, but not as good as GΩW3...

I have played their demos both and I am going to buy them both on day 1...

Although i have played both God Of Wars, although i like the twisted appeal of Dante's Inferno, i think that overall GOW will be the better game. Something tells me there's gonna be a long middle section. Can they really offer any surprises or plot inversions etc. in D'sI ? - I despise them for showing us that someone stabbed him. I would have kept it to be found out towards the end or something...! :)

The only reason people compare these games is because they are of a similar gaming family. They will still be different games providing different storylines and a different gaming experience.

You can argue all you want I'm going to be playing both. DI for the amazing new story and because I've read The Divine Comedy and GOW III so I can see how the story turns out, although I haven't touched GOW II since I finished playing my PS2 (it was the last game I played on it).

They arn't the same game and shouldn't be treated that way. This is the same argument as InFamous and Prototype, they were different games with the same premise.... you don't see people comparing every single shooter that comes out to another realeased at the same time; yet all shooters are pretty much the same.

All I'm saying is GET OVER IT, they're both going to be fantastic games and you're crazy if you don't think so.

^ No one's making a real fuss over it. It's just a statement of facts. What your argument failed to mention was that DI had several key things that made GoW stand out.

cant we just enjoy both games? i know im gettin both of them and dantes inferno and heavy rain, ohhh boy wat a month for me, ohh forgot to mention white knight chronicles, but anyways, dantes inferno has a good story, and feel to it. its a action adventure game, so there isnt really much difference in action adventure games u know, devil may cry, bayonetta, god of war they are all almost the same. so just cuz DI has similarities doesnt make it a bad game or a bad thing for having similiar things that god of war has, isnt that suppose to make u want the game more? u enjoyed it on GOW why not DI lol?

As you know God of War 3and Dante's Inferno areawesome games but from the prospectives of the demos, i think Dante's Inferno is going to be better than God of War 3. What do you guys think.

ninjaniinja
how can you even compare them both....gow3 much better in every aspect. played both demos and dantes inferno is just a low budget game trying to be the same as gow....

I think both will be amazing games, and I have pre-orders on both of these titles but I honestly think that God of War III will outshine Dante's Inferno. It's had a longer production cycle, it's already apart of an established franchise with an immense amount of backing, and each God of War game (in my opinion) has progressively gotten better. But, who knows maybe Dante's Inferno will start off the bat as a AAA title, or if a franchise occurs maybe future titles will be blow the God of War series out of the water. Only time will tell.
