From the relentless combo chains to the Quick Time Events, Dante is even faced with inexplicable barriers preventing him further progress until certain baddies are vanquished. The point is: if early footage and imagery hasn’t already convinced you, the recent demo should demonstrate just how close these two games really are. For instance, while Kratos’ tale is a twisted bastardisation of Greek mythology, Visceral have chosen to corrupt something slightly more recent in Dante Alighieri’s 14th century epic poem, The Divine Comedy. Of course, this is Jean-Claude Van Damme in Timecop type quantum physics so, who knows?Īdmittedly, there are differences between Dante’s Inferno and the God of War series. ![]() At least, not according to temporal mechanics which dictates the two would cancel each other out. In fact, we’re pretty sure if you pre-ordered God of War III and Dante’s Inferno from the same online retailer, you’ll never receive that package. It’s not that we’re saying the games are quite similar, we’re saying they’re practically identical. If imitation is the highest form of flattery, the crush the guys over at Visceral Games have on Santa Monica Studios and their God of War III title is so big that if I was a wife or husband of one of Dante’s Inferno’s producers, I’d be checking their phone for incriminating text messages.

In fact, it’s more a testament to just how beautiful the game is.Ĭrysis was a wonderful achievement and we’re more than optimistic that their next venture, Crysis 2 – due to launch on multiple formats next year – could really shake up the FPS genre for years to come. This is not meant as a slur on Crytek by any stretch of the imagination. That’s not to say the game doesn’t have its supporters, but there are those who consider Crysis’ gameplay to be simply not on par with its visuals. But, just like that pretty girl you lusted after only to then get and discover she had the personality of a step, some people didn’t want to stick around and actually play Crysis. The original Crysis on the PC was a powerhouse in the graphics department. Crysis 2 – Developer: Crytek | Publisher: EA | Out: TBCĪ strong candidate for the “Game Most Likely To Be Dissected By Pixel-Counters In An Effort To Justify Their Lives” award, we are in no way underestimating what the arrival of a Crysis game on consoles means to the wider FPS arena.
