Ready At Dawn is not doing it so....probably not too good. But who knows.
If Capcom is to be believed with their DMC branding, they're 'Stylish Action Games' O:
So SAGs.
"Character action game" is such a meaningless term. It's an action game! Starring a character!
Isn't hack and slash more a term used for games like Dynasty Warrior and such? As much as I hate to go along with Capcom's marketing, stylish action is probably the best way to describe games like DMC or GoW.
im going to say -
Why does anyone care about this game?
It looks so bland and boring. And, I mean, it's about going through the stages of hell. SO HOW COULD IT LOOK BLAND?
I thought they were just called action games...yet aren't there RPG elements in them too? I dunno, I've never owned a God of War or Devil May Cry game, but I've played demos. Aren't the Dead Space people working on this game? That makes it seem like it would be more survival horror (lotta potential for that, being in hell and all), yet Dead Space was kinda like survival horror and 3rd person shooter.
I knew this was going to happen.
I'm a little sketchy on a Divine Comedy video game as it is.
But now EA is going to release crappy spin-offs/ports/squeals like mad.
So is it going to be called Dante's Inferno: Chains of Perdition or something like that?
I think the working genre name for the Bayonettas of the world is "Stylish Action," which I always thought was a pretty stupid name. They're basically modern brawlers. Epic brawlers, maybe?"Come to think of it, has the gaming community decided yet what "those kinds of games" are called? There's a ton of them now: Dante's and God of War and Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, on and on ad nauseam... I've heard them called "character action games," but Ryan argued on the Bombcast yesterday they're called "hero action games." Maybe neither one of us is right. What's the consensus, folks? "
