Beowulf darker, grittier than GoW, says game scriptwriter |
Ó
While Beowulf from Ubisoft is shaping up into its own brand of hack-'n-slash goodness for the Sony PS3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Windows PC, and PSP, it's inevitable that it'll be compared to similar games in the genre, such as SCEA's God of War. This doesn't appear to worry Beowulf scriptwriter Gabrielle Shrager, who stated that the game would be darker, grittier, and more interactive then even the PS2's premier Greek adventure. As Shrager elaborated during an interview:
Not to tout my own horn, but I think the writing is better and the narration is more profound in Beowulf than in God of War, which is a great story also, but more traditional. You have a level, you get to the end of the scene, there's a character that's standing there, gives the spiel and then you go to the next mission, and then you get to the end of that and then you get the spiel. We tried to make it a lot more dynamic. Our script is completely dynamic. You're getting minute by minute feedback according to what your status is, the state of your being as a player. You don't have that in God of War. So maybe it's more interactive in Beowulf.
Shrager further elaborated that compared to GoW, Beowulf would carry a tighter camera system. This is expected to give players a more up-close-and-personal encounter as they navigate both Beowulf (your character) and his fellow thanes through the fields of combat.
For the guys who'd like to see if Shrager's indeed on the mark with her statements, you'll want to wait for the game's scheduled launch this November. Make sure to see the movie too.

They can say what they want about this new game but all I see so far is talk, give me Screenshots, give me Video footage so that I may judge between the two games. I hope it is as good as GOW that would be kewl.
It would be the first tie that a movie tied in game is worth anything. I wouldn't bet on it though. I might be wrong and the game could kick ass, but I just don't have any hope left for movie tie in games. They're always rushed and are always SH_IT.

Plus that's a bold claim to make too, Better that God of War! you shouldn't be so *****y especially with out any screen shots or trailers. Sorry if I double posted.
God of war won a lot of awards. Do they think they can surpass that only by saying: "we're better" ? lol. No. They will surely fail like Conan. God of War is the master, without any kind of profond storyline or wathever, it's just perfect, with funny lines, funny stuff (like in god of war 1, when you see the guy in the hydra (that you kill) then you see him another time in hell (than you kill him another time, lol). Anyway God of war is really hard to beat, even heavenly sword is far from this, so beowulf have about zero chance... Still, it'll surely be darker since gow wasn't dark at all. :S
Please don't use "GoW" because every time QJ does I can't tell if they're talking about Gears of War or God of War.
God of War was first there for it should be the onw known as GoD not gears no matter how bad ass of a game it is. There I've said my peace. lol It's always bothered me and no one else had ever said anything about it. lol lmao
