CcrooK said:I really don't get why people get up in arms about it being this God of War clone. There aren't that many games out there that use God of War's formula. I bet if we saw a Indiana Jones game that used the same sort of whip mechanic in terms of graphic, people will be calling it the same thing. A God of War clone. :lol

As for Castlevani. I have my limited edition paid off. Only limited edition I'm getting this year for the simple fact that I haven't been this excited for a Castlevania game in FOREVERRRRR!!!

hey_it's_that_dog said:God of War combat is on the shallow side. It's exactly the kind of combat people would easily get tired of. (And I say this as a big fan of the series.) Your point about FPS games makes similarly little sense. The market is flooded and many people are tired of them. This is not contradictory. There are enough people to support a flooded market (for now) and also a group who is tired of the genre's prevalence.
Joe Shlabotnik said:Except no one calls FPSs "clones" of anything anymore. It's almost like if there were fifty more God Of War-type games out, it would be called a genre and Castlevania wouldn't get dinged for it.

slasher_thrasher21 said:Also just like others said, FPS are not even considered clones. People don't say Halo plays just like Call of Duty, vice versa, or etc.
depths20XX said:Because FPS games are a genre to themselves. It would be more like if every FPS game used bullet time. Or if every online FPS game played like Quake, which they don't. Some people don't like the mechanics of the God of War fighting and don't want it used in other games.

Mr. B Natural said:Nobody calls Fps's clones these days? Really? It is the most pravelent critique of most fringe fps's (that aren't as frequent as hivemind Gaf would think).
God of War clone is not a genre. It never will be. That's not the definition of genre. And I hate to break this to you, but even if it was, that wouldn't protect an uninspiring unoriginal game from being mocked for being uninspiring and unoriginal. What does protect a game like that from being properly critiqued is -
1. Being a well known popular IP (nostalgia)
2. High production values (money)
3. Extreme amount of hype and marketing (money)
4. Being made by a well respected publisher/developer (nostalgia)

MrMephistoX said:I've always wondered about the logic there as well: as far as I'm concerned the world needs more Zelda, GOW clones and fighters but FPS and sports gamers always seem to always cry loudest about genres they they don't understand.
Conan was probably the first next-gen example of a blatant GOW clone and I actually liked it.
RedStormSublime said:I'm curious, what specifically makes this new Castlevania a GoW clone, and not just another game with light-heavy attack based combat?
RedStormSublime said:I find this discussion really interesting - was God of War a Rygar (ps2) clone? Or is it not because Rygar (ps2) wasn't popular? Is every third person shooter with a parrot camera (over the shoulder) on left trigger a clone of RE4? What about all the third person shooters with cover systems, are they clones of Gears?

Game Analyst said:When is the demo coming out in the US?
brandonh83 said:Tuesday.
Game Analyst said:Awesome. I am really looking forward to playing this demo.![]()
I'm also looking forward to it, although most of the people posting in the thread haven't been completely positive. It seems the demo was poorly chosen or is an old build and the final game is a lot better. So keep that in mind in case you're looking forward to the game as well.Game Analyst said:Awesome.

I always saw God of War as the Rygar PS2 game done properly. It took 2 games to copy the swinging though.Raging Spaniard said:Its not like GoW isnt a Castlevania clone in 3D ...
Old school fans of the series that may be a bit distressed as to whether or not the count will make an appearance in "Lords of Shadow" can take solace in knowing that Cox confirmed that there will be "something similar" to the flying Medusa heads in his game. So that's something.
He also went on to mention that "LoS" takes elements from a lot of the other "Castlevania" games, so much so that every stage in the game has appeared in a previous title, albeit that these areas (as well as enemies) have been redesigned by his team, so everything should feel familiar, yet new at the same time. Cox later added that, "If you're a 'Castlevania' fan, and you're not getting chills while playing this game, we've failed."

Tears For Fears said:The demo is like getting a really good BJ, only with a surprise twist. (She swallows)
MacBosse said:That's what you call a twist?
Getting a BJ and then suddenly another man drops in and whispers sensually in your ear that the girl was an Adam one year ago ... that would be a twist.

It's really not, though. Castlevania, as in Actionvania, is not a concept that anyone has figured out in 3D yet. It's like Sonic the Hedgehog or Mega Man. The best you can really do is to try to take some of the beats of the old games and make something new that works with it.Raging Spaniard said:Its not like GoW isnt a Castlevania clone in 3D ...
