I shouldn't have to explain how this is God of War, a game where you constantly disembowl, blind and mutilate anything that gets in your path. Later in the gameplay video we see bloated zombies exploding in showers of eels, maidens exploding in showers of gore and a giant quadrapedal nasty biting the Barbarian's head clean off and throwing the rest away in a shower of Barbarian juice. Our Barbarian litterally smashes his foes to pieces, blood and gore flying in all directions. This was the first things that reminded me of GoW: the way they climb, move and look is very similar to the "Undead Legionaires" Kratos must face! I'm suprised they're not infringing copyright law! Not everyone has played GoW though (shame on you!) so I'll post some images of this so you know what I'm talking about:Īs soon as the Barbarian enters the dungeon he is assailed by "Ghouls" which climb up the walls from below. I'm assuming everyone has seen the gameplay video so they'll know what I'm talking about without me desperately searching for a good Diablo 3 screenshot. So, apart from the obvious, here are a number of ways in which Diablo 3 takes after God of War. God of War had brightly lit environments, floating orbs and magical powers, all things many people hate about Diablo 3, and yet was one of the most visceral, captivating and downright fun games I've ever played: No, Diablo 3 borrows far more heavily from God of War, the gaming world's Jesus, and this can only be a good thing. A lot of people are having a fit saying Diablo 3 is inspired by WoW, the gaming world's Anti-Christ, but I think they're very wrong.
