Namco Bandai’s God of War Rip Off “Awful”

so its a pirates of the Caribbean ripoff now too?

why is my comment here?

I agree

Whoever projected that 700k number must've been high on something....probably off of Kraken juice.

Xmen Origins: Wolverine was a fun, if simple, game. Played a lot like God of war meets Batman AA.

Namco Bandai even ripped the Gold Skeleton's from Demon's Souls. They're saying that the gameplay is ripped straight from God of War, which it is even down to some weapons and moves. Anywho, God of War gameplay is like almost retarded DMC with QTE's so I guess God of War is ripped off, Greek DMC.

it was =(

Then Hades will claim it from you

Anyone remember Beowulf video game? That was also a God of War rip off and a movie based game. As far as I know it didn't get favorable reviews and didn't sell well. Namco Bandai should have learned from that.

Hmm while I didn't read all of the posts, if the writer of the article did his research, he would of realized "Clash of the Titans" originally came out in 1981, which is about 26 or 27 years before the original God of War came out. They just remade "Clash of the Titans" so there is no way it could rip off God of War...

rather than releasein this shit they should localize Tales of Vesperia PS3 insted ,or maybe Gundam Senk8i or Idol@ster

Had the author done their research they would have realized that "Clash Of the Titans" came out in 1981, while God Of War didn't come out until late 2000's. So how can a re-make that is just now being made into a game a rip off?

I wouldn't really call it a ripoff - seeing that it's based on a movie that is a remake of the movie that largely inspired God of War.

Oh, and yes the movie disappointment a little, but from what I hear it was the victim of some last-minute script tampering.

I would play it only for Mouloud Achour

MOULOUD YOU FUKKING ROCK

You can get them mix well with luck, some of them are succeed

God of War itselt was a ripoff of MediEvil por the PS1. Being 'inspired'on a different game does not make it automatically bad. Everything else, however, does.

"Almost any game based on a movie is bound to fail."
looking forward to transformers, the game, coming soon.

That's one movie I just won't even watch.

Too many childhood memories. Yeah, I wasn't fooled for a second that HarryHausen's creatures weren't stop motion dolls projected into an existing movie by a trick of light/camera. There was so much love in that movie, versus a formulaic spewing for more $ ruining people's childhood memories for a "Safe Bet".

If the studios want to just vomit a "Hack" to seperate people from their cash, they should just do a "Hackwork" without molesting any classic story people don't want done again without "Lord of the Rings" treatment.

I mean, tons of "Dumb but entertaining hack work" they could do.

Like how 'bout the promised sequel of "The Sword and the Sorcerer"?

They could probably make it for way less than the original one counting modern effects. And just fill it full of exaggerated barbarians, ridiculous swords and fantasy magick, lusty bar wenches, torture chambers, campy CG monsters, etc... And the standards would be so low, even Hollywood would have trouble smashing them, as long as they DID NOT make it "PC"...

if the gameplay is like GoW im guna buy it. thanks for telling me sankaku xD

I think this game did a great job in following GoW. They're both suck

It's karma. Namco Bandai, we will always remember Tales of Vesperia.

Games based on movies sucks.
Movies based on games sucks.

Games and Movies doesn't match.

There you go.

What's so mystifying about a gaming company making a moronic decision based on flawed, idiotic reasoning?

Bamco releases shit like this and doesn't bring over ToV PS3 which is actually good?

Those scorpions kicked ass.

AND PSP????

I sun mind this rip off, if it helps the movie, then it should do well. (eg. Wolverine Origin).

Unfortunately it didn't, so.. pfft

What else can you expect when it's based from the most overhyped and overrated nothing-but-CGI movie of 2010..

It looks about as much playable as God of War itself...

Don't forget another good movie-based game was GoldenEye 007 and that's because the developer didn't try to release it at the same time as the movie. In fact the game came out a TWO YEARS after the movie did and sold 8 millions copies.

maybe they thought
"hey, as movie-adaptions from games suck, it just has to work if we do it the other way around"
flawless logic

god of war=blood omen ripoff

How many people here actually tried the game? Sounds to me like nothing but sheep whining about something they haven't even played themselves.

God the movie looks like utter fail as well.

Clash of the Titans being a terrible movie with forgettable acting. Considering the source, the game couldn't be better.

Almost any game based on a movie is bound to fail.

EA's God of war ripoff Dante's Inferno was much much better IMO
