Granted the last good game was 3 and Ascension was shit, but Im surprised Sony hasnt tried to further milk the franchise. 4 is still rumored here and there, but its kind of weird how long the PS4 has been out and still no installment
>>337825283
A new one with nordic gods and shit is on the way
might see 4 during e3
>>337825380
Wasnt there also mention of a new protagonist? I cant really imagine gameplay not using the blades of chaos
>>337825581
It looks like Kratos in the leaked concept art. But I actually hope they get another protagonist
how would this series even work today? all the sex minigames, killing of women and female monsters and non-white races by a white man would be destroyed critically and would only ruin sony's reputation as the progressive game maker

They should have closed up Kratos' story long ago and moved on to other mythologies, but no...people are too obsessed with trying to make that shitty character a face of the franchise.

>Kratos will probably burn the world tree
I cant get over that wimpy axe. Also whats why not Egyptian Myth? I feel that Norse is overused these days
>>337827640
>finally an opportunity to play as a cool viking
>whatever, just put Kratos in it
JUST
>>337827902
Fucking this. Norse these days, is literally the next safest option to fall back to outside of greek, or generic medieval settings.
>>337827902
>>337828042
I can't really think of any games with Norse mythology which aren't crap
>>337828220
The only Norse game that I can think of at the moment is Too Human.
Ascension was excellent. Best gameplay in the series. Great puzzles and a decent story. Boss fights weren't as "epic" as most but it was oddly refreshing.
>>337828380
Exactly, and that was Norse + robots
>>337828464
The magic, new combo requirement, and camera were awful anon.
>>337828605
For you.
>>337828464
Ascension is the worst of the series. Pointless story, horrible camera, terrible counter system, unlocked moves behind combo system, all around the worst game of the series and caused Sony to go back to the drawing board and revamp the series.
>>337829395
Oh really? So instead of having the freedom to do any combo you unlocked like any other previous game, you have to build a fucking meter to use it now. Magic was uninspired, and the camera zooming out to make you look at the scenery, though nice, fucked you over in gameplay when surrounded.
>>337829473
I don't remembe if Kratos still fight enemies on the wall, because they changed a lot of the climbing mechanics to be more like Assassin's Creed and Uncharted.
anyway, the zoomed out as hell camera in some scenes is just baffling, who thought that was a good idea?
>>337827640
That's a cool looking Yggdrasil.
>>337829743
The worst section that comes to memory was the snake train sequence.
>>337825283
The guy in charge of Santa Monica was asked to go to Japan and fix Japan Studios after God of War 3. The team behind God of War 3 started a new IP that was too much like Destiny, got canned, and moved into Respawn.
Protag doesnt have that weird white paint on himself, maybe he is descendant of Kratos or posessed by him
Ascension is actually really good once you master the counter, its harder to do in this game but much more rewarding as you get a unique attack from depending on what you countered. Its pretty cool swinging those goatmen aroun by their legs to take our a whole crowd of enemies.Ascension was pretty much the hardest god of war too right? at least in combat? the goatmen really didn't seem to hold back.
>>337832734
I dont think it can get harder than 2.
>>337825283
He had too many muscles. Made women feel bad
>mfw one of the few series that kept me in my seat from start to end and I'm too afraid to talk about it on /v/
>>337826053
>Kratos
>White
>>337834862
>>337835396
That's not his skin anon, that's ash. It's pretty racist that Santa Monica made a whole game about a protag in whiteface tbqh
>>337825283
No, it was great
>Had it's theme
>Never abandoned it
>It was a complete trilogy
>Every game gave something without changing too much
Tough Ascension was stretching it, I am glad it wasn't watered down with overuse like Assassin's Creed
>Ascension
>shit
Wrong on so many levels.
I actually shared a similar opinion, but the ending made it all worth it, it's a really solid game, it also managed to be better paced AND look better than 3. It also gave Kratos a better character other than "grrr Zeus"
>>337837554
I think it just solidified Kratos' character.
It wasn't "grrr Zeus" it was "grrr Gods"
It "just" added another tragedy to the pile the gods caused to Kratos
>>337837554
Honestly, GRRR ZEUS is all kratos needs to be enjoyable.
>>337835396
ash of his dead wife+kid
>>337834862
he is greek. That technically still counts as white.Altough barely these days
