wew lad
>>341355498
Oh yeah because being an RPG is what God of War is all about!
I mean don't get me wrong, the game boesn't look that bad. But it's nothing remotely resembling god of war. And choosing Skyrim for the setting is so unoriginal at this point.
>>341355864
Fuck off retard
Also, that's his blood-son, not his stepson, and if there is one character who would never be cuckolded it's Kratos.

>>341356848
Wasn't God of War already an RPG technically with you upgrading your weapons and spells?
>>341355498
>in-depth RPG systems
Who wants them in GoW?
>No load screens
That only means long segments of walking slowly and talking until the next segment actually loads because one way or the other there are loading times.
>no cinematic
I guess the demo fooled me
>I love the idea of a post-Last of Us Kratos
Yeah, thanks, close the door when you exit.
>This is key throughout every moment of the game When his son gets nervous and misses a shot that should’ve killed a buck, Kratos begins to yell at him. Suddenly, a rage meter appeared in the corner and began to rise and Kratos scolded the boy. But as the boy apologized and the God of War realized that he was overreacting, the rage meter subsided.
Why do you even need a triggered/sperging mechanic? Fucking numale
>>341357237
No, having some minor as fuck "rpg elements" doesn't make an RPG. Unlocking upgrades is bog standard in many genres of videogames including character action.
>>341355498
Where did this whole cuck thing come from? Did the game ever imply that he isn't Kratos' son?
>no cinematics
From what I saw the entire game is cinematics
Zelda is better
>>341358193
Nu-males are obsessed with feeling their fetishes are shared by others.
>>341358264
This. When the gameplay is basically just endless cinematics, it's a goddam moviegame.
Forced walking sections are cutscenes
>>341357586
>Who wants them in GoW?
GoW always had RPG mechanics in the form of upgrading spells and armour, they're obviously expanding upon this which is pretty neat.
The article mentions finding armor, weapons, crafting material, and collectibles. Sounds like a neat evolution of that.
>That only means long segments of walking slowly and talking until the next segment actually loads because one way or the other there are loading times.
And what's wrong with that? It's better than fading to black and watching a symbol spin around.
>I guess the demo fooled me
My guess is the demo had executions and QTEs.
As for the last part, I guess it's a dialogue mechanic?
If you react too coldly to your son it negatively impacts the character progression.
It does sound pretty odd, though.
>>341358264
From what I saw it is kinda like the MGS cinematics in that they kinda transition into them and they are all in engine.
>>341355498
>No cinematics
So instead we have forced walking segments and "gameplay" sequences we can't even skip?
>>341358460
>no cinematics
>in-depth rpg mechanics
>moviegame

>>341358661
>>341358516
You can thank Half-Life for that.
>>341357713
Seems enough for people to call the witcher 3 an RPG
>>341355498
>This is key throughout every moment of the game When his son gets nervous and misses a shot that should’ve killed a buck, Kratos begins to yell at him. Suddenly, a rage meter appeared in the corner and began to rise and Kratos scolded the boy. But as the boy apologized and the God of War realized that he was overreacting, the rage meter subsided.
>This game is about Kratos teaching his son how to be a god, and his son teaching Kratos how to be human again.
Are these fuckers for real? Are they actually trying to turn a simple hack and slash series into a 2deep4u walking simulator/TLOU-esque feel fest. This is actually worse than the DMC reboot, because at least that fucking game has combat that could be somewhat recognizable as devil may cry. Is this Sony Santa Monica's thing? They rip off DMC for their original GoW games and now they have to rip off TLOU? Jesus.

Retard.
>>341358795
but there are cinematics retard
did you watch the e3 presentation? 80% of it was cutscenes and the only playable bits was where you walk and mash r1 on some giants leg
>>341359423
90% of the demo was walking
>>341358264
>the entire game
holy shit the game is out already? where the fuck can i buy it?
>>341359554
>but there are cinematics retard
Not according to the devs.
I wonder who knows more about this unreleased game?
Anonymous shitposter on /v/, or the devs themselves? Decisions, decisions.
>>341358989
Sony has run out of ideas.
All they are doing now is copying The Last Of Us.
Even Uncharted 4 was more like Tlou than Uncharted.
>>341359779
>if a game has movement it's a walking simulator
>>341355498
>no cinematics
what bizarre lie. almost the entirely of the 15 minute demo was cinematic. do cinematic not count if they're in game and not a prerecorded video?
>>341359806
If the gameplay drastically changes from what we were shown then I'll gladly eat crow
Otherwise I'm going to extrapolate that based on what I saw the entire game will be cinematics
>>341355498
Where's the gore?
>>341359779
And that was a reveal trailer. So what.
We now know the game will have a heavy focus on RPG mechanics alongside combat, that's not exactly the definition of a walking simulator.
>>341359973
your willful ignorance doesn't refute anything. we saw the 20+ minute demo and it was almost entirely cinematics.
>>341360018
Means no CG
>>341360210
It was 9 minutes, retard.
And apparently it wasn't.
My guess is those cinematics were executions animations and quick time events, which aren't technically cinematics.
>>341360014
You should jog as a default
>god of war
who cares?
>>341360014
Sorry. I guess I should have called it a hold forward to walk slowly forward alongside an also slowly moving NPC, where expansionary dialogue is delivered to the player simulator or whatever the fuck those parts in the TLOU are that idiots on gaf go crazy for
>>341360210
Do you consider inaudible dialog boxes as cinematic when they serve the same purpose?
>>341355498
>removing the gameplay from a video game made me care about the series for the first time
And here we see why games' journalism is dying and there's no money in it anymore. Game reviewers want easily digestible 8 hour moviegames whereas video game players WANT FUCKING VIDEO GAMES
I just want to know how did Kratos get thrown in to the world of Norse Mythology from the ending of GoW3 and which of the many women Kratos fucked is the mother of his child? Aphrodite?
>turn a hack and slash in to an RPG
good fucking god and sonyggers are going to defend it
>>341355498
Wow Skyrim remastered looks amazing!
>>341360774
by "rpg" the devs probably mean some bullshit crafting and player progression system. these fucks have no idea what an RPG is because what they should us was not an rpg.
also
>look up whose making it
>a lot of the dev team is from naughty dog
Now it all starts to make sense. Naughty dog is a cancer and everything they touch turns into a boring movie game.
>>341360983
If only Bethesda games looked that good without mods.
>>341360759
>RPG mechanics, crafting, collectibles, exploration, and combat aren't gameplay
What the fuck is gameplay then? Waglan?
>>341360941
Is it really not his son? Fucking hilarious if not.
>>341361038
Well, everyone calls TW3 and RPG for that reason so why not.
>>341361038
>a lot of the dev team is from naughty dog
jesus christ, fuck naughty dog and their fucking movie games
>>341359994
It hurts. I loved God of War. Say what you will about the combat or whatever is worth bitching about, I think the games were a ton of fun.
I feel as though everyone that likes this "new" direction the series is heading in didn't care for the series much in the first place.
However, I do love the Norse setting. Shame about the gameplay.
>>341361157
It says in the article it's his son, and he's worried his spartan rage is genetic
>>341361125
you don't take a series and radically change the fucking gameplay from hack and slash to walking sim
>>341361157
His son and wife were killed in the first game by Aries, after he traded their lives to win a war.
It's not his son, hence the "my son's wife" meme shitstorm.
I actually liked Kratos more when he was a two-dimensional killing machine butchering everything in his path. That's what got me into the series but this TLOU muh feels version is something I'm worried about.
>>341361396
This
>>341361517
New wife, new son. Kratos looks older than in GoW3. Logic is so hard.
>>341361396
>walking sim
Again, in-depth RPG mechanics and heavy combat focus does not constitute a walking sim.
It's not a hack and slash anymore, if you want to be pissed about that you're justified in being so.
It's also very clearly not a fucking walking simulator, so stop spouting terms you don't understand.
>>341361626
AAAAARIIIIIEESSSS!

anyone with a brain knows these trailers are played in a way to give a cinematic feel
look at TLoU early trailers, hell look at any modern game trailer
They took the Naughty Dog moviegame genre the Last of Us parent/child escort theme and put it in a Skyrim setting and then slapped the God of War title on it.
Truly a daring synthesis. To make it unique they turned the little girl into a little boy.

troy baker confirmed hes playing the role of kratos wife's boyfriend
they though it would resonate with sonyggers
>>341363383
none of that precludes being a movie game especially when they're implemented so shallowly. we've already seen that it's full of cinematic, full of walking slowly while watching scripted things happen around you, we've already seen the the combat has been stripped down to the point of absurdity.
you can say "uhh uncharted has jumping and shooting and funny things so how is it a movie :)" but it's still a literal moviegame.

This video is spot on.
>>341361337
I love God of War. My favourite is 2 (Ghost of Sparta very close to it), and I am a big fan of David Jaffe/Cory Barlog's original idea for 3.But I am still open to new ideas, as the gameplay was always fun even in the weaker titles of the franchise, this might turn out to be really good. It's not the same, but what do you know, the free camera and crafting system might turn out to be even better.
Watch the trailers, lets plays and decide to buy for yourself. As a fan you should be happy they are trying to bring something new to the stale formula. Ascension had a really cool combat, but after playing the same thing over and over I was yawning often and couldn't wait to get through the next combat segment. This game seems huge, even if it might be a corridor, thanks to the new mechanics.

Nope, They just look weird. pic is not the same kind as the kid but similar
>>341364504
That's multiplayer, no one's calling Uncharted's multiplayer a moviegame.
But we're talking about cinematic singleplayer experiences. Watch that 17 minute video I posted and learn something about why /v/ is accurately calling Dad of War a moviegame.
Then you can watch this one for fun.

>>341364704
Forgot the fucking pic.
>>341364528
No, its a movie game because the gameplay is on rails with insanely simplistic combat and an emphasis on "mature" storytelling. There is no way in hell this fucking game has any actual exploration.
>>341364884
Have you played it?
>>341363813
>Sony announced more new titles than anyon eelse
>Sony announced more actual exclusives than anyone else
And that's NOT counting VR garbage or Crash remasters as "games".
They won E3, get over it.
Every single one of you already hated the God of War games because they were button mashers.
Now they change it up, make because there's been six fucking repetitive games, and you faggots cry for the shit you hated.
What the fuck
fuck you /v/ you dont like games
>>341364842
>the game has tacked on multiplayer
Fantastic. Totally makes the singleplayer not a movie game.
>>341364548
Fuck you man say what you will about dmc but it was still true to its genre and premis
>>341364773
What should Uncharted do to fix their singleplayer? Cut down on cinematics and put more shooting in? From point A to B and throw hordes and hordes of enemies at you? Do you know how much shooting Uncharted campaign has already especially in the harder difficulties?
>>341364824
That's not true. Half life works the entirely of its narrative through the gameplay in several different ways, and the player NEVER once loses control over his own body, not even for a second. You have full autonomy during the entire duration of the game, from beginning to end you're in control.
>>341355498
>GoW
>in-depth RPG
I fucking hope not
>>341363053
I think you should take your own advice
Why do you think kratos made a god and not just mate with a mortal?
>>341365047
The single player isn't a moviegame, it's a run and gun platformer.
>>341365024
Did we watch the same presentation?
>>341365045
Its possible for something to change into something even worse.
>>341355498
>no cinematics
You what. The entire game looks like cinematics you cock.
>>341365047
are you fucking stupid
>>341365045
I somewhat agree. I think the real problem is that the demo didn't show enough of the combat, which is what the series is primarily known for. In addition, combat seems a bit slower placed. I'm just hoping it's fun.
>>341365217
Answer the question, have you played it?
You're contradicting the developers when they say exploration and in-depth rpg mechanics will be a driving point of the game alongside combat, and saying it will be majorly on rails, so you must have played it to say so safely.
So, have you?
>>341365138
>have to listen to hours long of lectures
>but at least I can move my body!
>viva la gameplay!
What about other games that are not "cinematic" but story drive?
>have to go through tons of inaudible dialog boxes
>but at least I'm pressing A to skip the text boxes!
>viva la reading and gameplay!
This should have been a new IP. They are just using the GoW name and shoehorning Kratos into this mess to boost sales
I honestly don't mind a franchise wanting to try out different genre's to keep things interested.
It's the fact that the demo made the game look so slow and unenjoyable is what's giving me low hopes
>no cinematics
With segments of doing nothing and pressing a button for the game to play itself? I don't think so amigo.
>>341365357
In all likelihood they just wanted to reveal the setting and sort of give a teaser to all the events. Basically /v/ is bitching about all of nothing, because an e3 demo that is scripted from beginning to end doesn't give any indication really of anything. It's like a long trailer, that helps you see what they're thinking the gameplay is going to look like.
>>341365138
That's decidedly fucking wrong. On multiple occasions you lose control in half-life to watch events occur. You people don't know what you fuckin' want. If they changed the camera angle and delivered a scene in just cutscene would that make it better? Better yet, fuck the plot and just have mindless slicing (oh wait that was the last six fucking games and people stopped buying those)
>>341365572
You're remarkably unintelligent. Choosing dialogue options is a gameplay mechanic. Watching a cutscene is not a gameplay mechanic.
>>341365054
I don't know about that, nor do I care. The fact is I played through 5 God of War games (started 10-11 years ago with 1 on the PS2) and the formula is becoming very stale now. The new additions to this game are very promising (crafting, additional RPG elements, exploration) and if people from Naughty Dog are helping, I can't wait. I noticed the studio and consoles in general are really hated here on /v but they produced games I had so much fun with and the execution was always way ahead of any competition. If the game turns out to be boring, well that happens sometimes, but they at least tried. The old formula isn't working for me anymore, and I am saying this as a big fan of the franchise.

>>341366234
But it's not a movie game anon. Beyond: Two Souls is a movie game.
>>341365464
The devs may say whatever the fuck they want but the presentations says otherwise.
Where are these exploration and in depth rpg mechanics? Why weren't they in the presentation?
Are they going to keep the violence against women toned down again? Shit'striggering.
>>341366126
Of course you don't. You're only getting paid to be here to try and calm the fire for the walking sim.
>>341361626

Stop talking about this game like you've played it and keep your cuck fantasies to yourself.
>>341366383
Anything by David Cage is a B-movie with button prompts. Anything with extremely shallow gameplay + loads of cutscenes and story is a movie game.
>>341366420
Better question: if he's a happily married man with a kid, is there going to be a sex minigame?
Im hope that this gameplay wont last through enitre game and that Kratos will go mad again. Poor man gonna get his family killed. I kinda hoped Kratos would appear again, wonder what his motiovation is for being in the north. Alternate timelines? Gypsy magic? Did they get corrupted by the mere sound of Todds Lies that they made him come to skyrim?
>>341366396
It was a 9 minute reveal trailer, you want them to cram every fucking thing in to 9 minutes? That's what the booth is for, and that's how we know these elements are present.
Read the article, it's not just empty promises from the devs, it's already in the demo.
>>341357237
call of duty is more rpg than that.
>>341366705
>It was a 9 minute reveal trailer, you want them to cram every fucking thing in to 9 minutes?
If the RPG mechanics are such a game changer maybe start off with them instead of a walking sim
>>341362572
It's crazy how much sense you make, anon. I don't understand why people can't see that these presentations are designed this way on purpose. This part of the game is probably early on.
I guess if they thought logically it'd be harder to shitpost
>>341366885
>go to an AAA conference
>watch dev fiddle with numbers and min max for 20 minutes
>>341366652
You're stupid. The gameplay will be the gameplay, and it's simple to think about why Kratos is here. He fucking just left his area and walked away.
>PS4 is still $350

Feels sad man...

Underrated post I'm fucking dying
>>341366652
>Kratos will go mad again. Poor man gonna get his family killed
This is what hurts me
>>341366619
But the gameplay isn't shallow. The difference is that on the PC your attack animation is the animation that kills your enemy, because the studios don't have resources to add expensive eye-candy execution to that animation. In a typical PC game if you press "O" you just kill the enemy, in God of War you hold onto him and rip him with your blades in a brutal fashion. It's still gameplay, with visuals added to it.
>>341366985
Well then that just proves that they consider it a gimmick, which doesn't give me much hope
>>341366641
This usually means no. More like spending time with the kid minigames, and maybe some helping out around the house minigames.
>>341355864

>>341366885
The article fucking says they want to go into detail on the RPG mechanics at a later date, they might not be 100% certain on how they want them to work yet.
Either way, this was a fucking reveal trailer.
It's purpose was to introduce the game game generate hype. For normies, that's flashy cutscenes and pretty graphics. You should know this by now.
>>341367193
You're an idiot.
>>341355498
I'm worried it might be too much like LoU, but with what i've seen I'm stocked.
The game looks gorgeous and i want to try it out but at the same time im incredibly disappointed.

>His child.
>>341366619
Its only shallow gameplay because you personally don't enjoy it
TLoU's combat had more depth than more depth than a lot of AAA games.
And the new god of war is going for more personal combat instead of rehashing the same hack and slash wanna be cuhrazy gameplay from the former 3 games+side games.
>>341365184
Because, there is this magical thing called "reading what someone previously wrote", you mong.
In Greek Mythlogy, Gods cannot mate with mortals.
Full stop.
Gods and Godesses are basically infertile.
They want children? Zues.
They want anything? Zues.
They buried the series when they made Kratos kill Zues.
>>341367007
Well, it may be some sort of intro mission, but Kratos seemed too weak and kept himself in check too much. Epic fight with dragon utilizing dual axes and mad combos when ?Besides, one would like to stay in the area he worked so hard to cleans, only reason can be he is trying to run from Athena.
>>341355498

You are basing it off a reveal that is supposed to be eye-candy. I can still see interesting elements in it even if its sole purpose was to show off the possible visuals and basics that won't change.

it's literally a cinematic walking simulator with no gameplay
Is it too obvious the game uses the same engine from 'The Order 1886'? Guess they need to use it on something people already liked...
>>341371562
but they have deep fighting mechanics
You guys, what if you could do co-op and someone plays as the kid, like in that one shitty Resident Evil game?
>>341371432
>Also naughty dog is helping with development
Okay, can we officially say that Naughty Dog is a cancer? I was never a huge fan of GoW, but letting ND turn it into a deep and emotional cinematic TLoU cocksleeve is offensive. It's like if Game Freak colonized Nintendo EAD and started pumping out Mario games with monster battling. Does Sony not understand that making every game into your best reviewed game is not a recipe for success? Even after Order 1886 released to resounding disinterest?
>>341358989
It looks pretty good and from the demo they showed us the combat style has changed but the brutality of it has not, which is nice. I've played the other games and I'm pretty glad they're moving Kratos in a new direction. I was getting tired of always yelling Kratos and it was nice to see that they continuing his character growth from God Of War 3. It could suck but I have high hopes it will not.
>>341373292
>Brutality has not
For GOW this is pretty tame mate. Minimal blood splatter and the camera pulls away when he finishes the troll

I bet the gameplay will be faster once you take over the kid after Kratos inevitably dies soon after the events of what we saw during the demo.

DEEE LEEE TEEE THIIIS
>>341376003
i bet there won't because they clearly didn't put any thought into the mechanics of the gameplay, just the animations
>>341376182
But if he dies this time he'll just be chilling in Valhalla, his spartan bros even might be there after he killed Hades, he'd stay for sure unless he knew he failed to educate his son more into being a killing machine.
I remember when i made a thread here after playing the trilogy where i basically asked why anyone liked this shit series and its constant button mashing and QTEs for everything.
Everyone who entered the thread pretty much agreed the series was shit meant to sell the systems to casuals. Yet here we are with people actually excited for over the shoulder GoW, because that camera style worls just perfectly for a beat em up, right?

Look, I'm all for changing it up, and I wouldn't even mind if it was more "cinematic" and all that bullshit, but can we cut the fucking AI companion bullshit out? TLOU had it and it was complete fucking dogshit. Uncharted 4 had it for the whole game and that was the single worst element of that game.
I'm fucking sick of having to drag someone else around just so they can have an excuse to put dialogue in the game.

Why, then? Cause all I'm seeing is "GoW was a shitty DMC now its just a shitty TLOU, boo hoo."
>>341377249
I don't give a fuck, it will still be shit, it always is. There is no game where constant escorts are a good thing. Especially hyper combat games like God of War.
The only way this will be salvageable is if there is a neat branching storyline where you can lock the kid in a closet or straight up kill him in the beginning so you can go about the story the way you're meant to. Alone. Without some shit tagging along the whole fucking game, slowing you down, killing the enemies you don't want him to kill, not killing the enemies you want him to kill, making stupid comments on everything, breaking up the flow of the progression so you can bring him along. It's fucking shit. It always is.
The only game that has ever done escorts right is Ico.

>LoZ gets open world RPG elements but retains the general playstyle of the series while expanding upon it greatly with more complex combat and traversal mechanics

What? That is one of the few games I've played where the companion AI was really done right and compliments the gameplay. Watch how Sam behaves here:

>>341377628

It's clear he's taking on the child out of some moral obligation, especially since he lost Pandora at the end of 3.
>>341378251
Just because the companion AI can take out an enemy or flank an enemy doesn't make it good. It's fucking annoying that he's there, that I have to wait for him to open shit up for me, that I have to literally let him climb over me and boost him up to places so I can get up, and wait for him to pick me up.
AI companions are not good. I don't know why it became a thing to have a fucking AI follow you around the whole god damn game, ruining the flow, ruining the pacing, and robbing you of experiences and observations by pointing every little thing out like an asshole.

the guy grabbing him becomes killable in a single bullet
he then immediately turned around and killed another one of them.
Then when the player was out of ammo and was grabbed near a grenade, he kicked the guy off the player, saving his life.
Then the grenade killed the guy who grabbed him and Sam meleed the other guy to death while the player ran up to the end of the ballroom.
Basically the AI's behavior was critical in the player surviving that scenario because he killed 2 enemies and caused another to die in one shot, in addition to saving the player from the grenade and allowing to escape being pinned down
>yfw Kratos dies and you're forced to play as his son
>>341378990
>>341379375
you know nobody takes you serious right
Why are sonyfags in complete denial about this game? Even they routinely admit that GoW was a mediocre series at best. And this looks even worse. Why are they defending it?
As a long time God of War fan, this is extremely disappointing. I never liked the games for the combat, I liked them because Kratos was a monumental asshole, and sometimes even straight up villain (sacrificing innocent people to progress in the game several times).
The games were so over the top and crazy in their own special way that they had a charm. This demo, and that article basically says "We're tossing all that, because we want to be more 'mature'. Kratos is a good guy now!".
Even if the combat is good, which it doesn't look much like in the demo, I don't know why this had to be a thing. Why not just make it as a new IP. A norse mythology IP would be cool. Don't rape Kratos' character like this. God of War III already did enough with those cringy Pandora segments. Why do you have to revive this franchise to shit on it Sony?

>>341380041
You're not a real fan, real fans are excited about this opportunity to explore Kratos' softer side while reveling in visceral combat in a more up close and personal perspective never before seen in a God of War game. And as a father myself, I'm excited how Kratos' son with change him. Fatherhood is a very deep and personal journey.
>>341379812
Uh huh, and absolutely none of that is necessary. What you're basically saying is that he's there to bail out really shitty players, because aside from Uncharted combat being easy as fuck, and only slightly hard on Crushing, he also doesn't do anything that couldn't be achieved without his presence. So he takes out a couple guys. Wow. He doesn't let you use new strategies, or cause diversions, or really do anything that you would like an AI companion to do.
He shadows you, and does exactly what you do, only worse.

Souls combat is the best third person action combat ever devised, it'd be stupid for Santa Monica to not derive some inspiration from it. The more deliberate pace with also mirror the more thoughtful and artistic narrative.
>>341380789
I don't see why you think Sony, Naughty Dog, and Santa Monica are mutually exclusive. This is clearly God of War. Kratos even has the same scars.

>>341380459
He's just helpful in general when you're in a pinch, and it looks good seeing him fighting alongside you. I don't see what there is to hate. He never does anything annoying like get you detected or set off traps, and he almost never even gets in your way like would happen in TLOU. I guess if you just really hate having characters talk to you you would hate them...

Absolutely not
I'd rather have a copy of DMC combat than Souls combat
Souls combat only works in Souls, period.
>>341379853

>>341381102
Gof of War is known for having a certain kind of gameplay, and they're completely tossing that away.
This is like picking Crash Bandicoot and naming Crash Tag Team Racing Crash Bandicoot 2 instead. Or naming Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Metal Gear Solid VI, and so on.

>>341381843
This is literally all i wanted
Is it too hard to take God of War 3 combat, maybe add some more combo variety to it, and paste it over norse mythology? It surely would have been easier work for them
>>341381397
>What matters is the experience.
get out
>>341381762
I don't see anything wrong with that. Sequels should innovate. And this new GoW looks to be the most innovative title yet. If you want old GoW combat, play old GoW. They're not going anywhere.
>>341382195
I'm on the same boat anon, i'm seriously hoping the combat gets faster and more vicious, like the other games
seriously removing the hack'n'slash roots will be their undoing
>>341355498
>no cinematics
Provably false.
>>341363461
Im still trying to contemplate what exactly Kratos would be.
>God until Zeus kills him and he's pulled down into the Underworld
>Gaia helps him back out
>tears ass across Greece and kills the Fates and Athena meaning even if he isn't a god no longer he's still much stronger than he was when he was a mere demigod.
>Tears ass up and down Olmpus killing Gods and Titans left and right with the power of rage
>absorbs Hades soul
>uses the power of hope hidden inside him to kill Zeus
>attempts to kill himself and releases hope to the world
>somehow survives with a clear hole straight through his front and out his back straight through his spine
Fallen God maybe? Even then he was able to kill 95% of the Greek gods and deities and survive shit that would have killed anyone else but Zeus
>>341382191
>>341382360
GoW never had particularly good mechanics. What made them entertaining was the blood and scale of battle. The atmosphere. Or did you actually play GoW for the shallow combat?
>>341382403
removing the number of potential enemies with the new camera isn't innovation, it's stagnation.
>>341381762
people will accept it if the gameplay is good, like when Resident Evil 4 came out
>>341381413
I hate the fact that I don't get to go on the adventure by myself yes, but I also hate the fact that I have to haul his ass around the whole fucking game.
Did you forget how much he slows you down? How many times you need to move boxes to allow him to climb up somewhere? And most of all, how forced it all feels? The first two Uncharted games had segments with AI companions, but they always felt natural. The ice cave with Tenzin, and the following village escape were two of the best segments of Uncharted II. You don't know anything about this Tibetan dude when exploring the ice cave, but you become attached to him when he proves how helpful he is, and when he saves your ass several times. Then in the escape you really want to see him get out, because of the experience you just had.
This segments was only powerful because the game didn't overuse AI companions. If the whole game had AI companions throughout you would have just said "Oh look, I guess this is the dude I'm forced to go with" rather than "I wonder who this dude is who's helping me out".
Uncharted 2 had a decent amount of AI companions, but for the most part they remained locked down in one location until you opened a door or something, which still meant you did most of it solo.
Uncharted 4 felt forced as fuck in terms of AI companions, and the only time they didn't get in the way and feel tacked on was Madagascar.
>>341382195
You're not alone, I'm actually a huge fan. I know the plot of the games is kind of stupid, and the gameplay is sub-par compared to other hack-and-slash games. But I really like the idea of Kratos as a character, and the rage portrayed by the gameplay is soothing in my opinion.
That said, I like the new direction. I always said if they continued into Greek/Egyptian mythology they should change up the gameplay that has stayed the same through seven games, and I'm excited for what comes. I would have been fine with a new protagonist, maybe go the opposite way of Kratos and make him comically softspoken and humble rather than comically loud and angry, but this interests me.
>>341382403
Except it's not innovating, it's just copying someone else's work, and more importantly, it should innovate while still in the game's original genre.
You see old Metal Gear? It was a really old stealth/shooter with prehistoric mechanics.
What is Metal Gear Solid today? A modern stealth/shoooter game.
Again, changing GoW from crazy DMC inspired hack'n'slash combat to Dark Souls gameplay is like naming the new Gwent card game to Witcher 4.
>>341379521
Half Life 2 was the same way.
>>341355498
>You will never launcha guy up in the air. Then combo him with chaos blades, switch to a different weapon to prolong the combo and end it with a backbreaker to the ground.
Anyone who didn't like the GoW gameplay had no creativity and didn't take advantage of the physics and spent most of the game with the same basic combo.
>>341382635
Name an action game that has tried to do melee combat with this perspective before. This is innovative. It's a daring move.
>>341382603
>Im still trying to contemplate what exactly Kratos would be
He's just a really angry guy.
My guess is that his "being a god no more" simply means he doesn't control huge armies, can become a giant or summon the sword of olympus, but his durability and strength are still the same
Also it's clear that Kratos is basically immortal because if he dies he just crawls back to life, hell can't hold him
Ascension was shit but jesus this manages to look worse, can we please go back to GoW2 levels of quality?
>>341382661

I'll be disappointed if the sword isn't in the game, even if its an unlockable secret that you can use after the first play through.
>that combat system
It looked awful. Like they took TLoU and were like hey let's just make it melee only. It doesn't suit God of War at all.
>>341382704
He doesn't slow you down; you literally need his help to progress through the level. And it was the exact same way in U2 (only then it was *always* in the form of a fire-escape/ladder boost).
It doesn't feel forced at all. In every one of those chapters, the AI has an obvious reason why they are with you. In Sam's case, well, the entire conflict of the story stemmed from his betraying Rafe. It would make zero sense for him to tell Nate to go do his adventure for him while he waits behind
>>341384059
>You literally need him to progress
Yes, because the game was designed around you having a shitty AI companion slow you down the whole game.
Or, in other words, it was forced.
Sam was going to be a villain in Hennigs U4
>>341384059
>you literally need his help to progress through the level.

God of war ripped from castlevania lament of innocence, not all hack and slash games are dmc clones, much to our endless surprise.
>>341383007
God Hand.
I'm mixed on the Demo
The game looked nice and had nice sound effects but the VA work was terrible and the combat looked like shit. Kratos is back, which I'm mixed about but it's connected to the other game and isn't a reboot, which in my mind is bad because that means it will probably have a terrible story. I wish it was just a full reboot of the franchise with a new main character.
>>341384375
He literally runs ahead the entire time though. I don't see how "he slows you down". It isn't real life, there's no "slowing down" everything is the way it should be.
>>341384706
>Half of the game is finding boxes to get him up places, or waiting for him to drop a box down to you
Seriously, fuck off already, there's not denying that AI companions slow progress down. The fact that you're still arguing this is blowing my mind.
Just because the game is designed around an AI companion slowing you down doesn't mean he isn't still slowing you down.
>>341384535
I've giving it the benefit of the doubt right this moment.
Most the games have always dropped him straight at the front of a huge battle at the start of the game, this one is him and his kid hunting and oops forest monsters
>>341384706
>He literally runs ahead the entire time though.

We've seen the user perform one (1) combo with fist, and then one combination of button inputs again for the axe several times. This is god of war, and santa monica studios. They are not stupid enough to downgrade kratos. Sure they can make a 2 hour game with a movie and call it the order 1886. But God of War is their speciality

>>341355498
This game has NOTHING in common with God of War except it has a bearded Kratos. The gameplay is completely different, the setting is completely different, the visual style is completely different, etc.
They should have just used a new protagonist and made it a unique IP. But that would have led to less sales, and we can't have that. Gotta make the big bucks, gotta milk every brand for all they're worth.
>>341385816
So you rather eat shit and be proud of it? Last of us was bland beyond belief, half the setting made no sense with cannibals all over the world and yet there is plenty of land to farm and animals to hunt, why in fuck would people become cannibals if food is not in short supply?
No Terrence C. Carson, no buy.
>>341384375
how does that not compute? if he weren't there you wouldn't just be slowed, you would be stopped.
>>341384374
how is what you're complaining about any different from what they did in U2? And it's not like it is implemented in an unnatural way; you really would need another person's help to lift a huge rusty wooden door. The word "forced" implies that it doesn't feel natural. If you're using the word in reference to something you don't want to do in game design, you might as well say that everything you do in every game is "forced" because the developers force you to only pick from the options that they actually programmed into the game

They were, and everyone who reviewed them back in the day agreed. They were simple beat em ups with a grand scale, fun over the top characters, and a mythological setting.
Just because they didn't have the depth that you wanted doesn't mean they were bad games.
>>341385912
>Sure they can make a 2 hour game with a movie and call it the order 1886. But God of War is their specialty
Anon they already talked about how they changed the combat into an essentially different genre. The fucking demo itself showed off how the combat it much slower and more methodical and simpler than before. Now they just added 'rpg' elements to it to try balancing it out.
Also JASON is important to combat and general exploration as well. He's pretty much Ellie.
>>341386930
>at least it looks like it will have a decent story.
So you're okay with them making the gameplay even worse because you're a dipshit who falls for the surrogate dad protagonist meme?

I just don't think its possible.
Ascension was a bit of a clusterfuck between the director censoring shit to not offend sjws and the multiplayer taking away from the single player. Even then the boss battles mostly delivered and Orkos was a good companion whenever he was around.
Take for instance that dragon shown right at the end
>flies over and starts shit
>Kratos: Boy go get my blades
>Kratos fights off some undead/little dragons as he makes his way to the dragon with his axe

>Kratos: find some place to hide while I take care of this beast

don't even be surprised if it goes down something like that
>>341355498
Why'd they give him a nu male beard?
>>341387594
Mediocre though it may be, it was not whatever this game is
>>341387594
Then why would you think this is any better when it looks even worse? What kind of retard thought fixing GoW's combat meant making it slower and stiffer?
>>341387862
They gave him a viking beard you stupid cuckold. It's not a numale beard
>>341387708
It's like the Joker without Hamill.
6 games with him, then all of a sudden he's gone. It's jarring.
>>341387594
The other games had better looking combat than this, is what people are saying based off of first impressions of the gameplay demo.
All the other god of war games had shit stories and this probably will to since it's just a sequel to 3.
>>341386930
There's no way it will have anything close to a "decent story". It'll be on the level of Ryse or The Order 1886, story-focused games that took themselves far too seriously, and fell flat on their face. A serious God of War is a recipe for fucking disaster. The previous games were over the top bullshit and they worked, as soon as you try to shove in "muh feels, so deep" it'll collapse in on itself.
Also, butchering a character action game in the name of "story" is absolutely disgusting. GoW wasn't the height of depth, but it was far better than what they've turned it into.
>>341387862
Because you're a cuck who has been brainwashed by SJWs.
>>341386936
>>341387130
it'd be no different if he weren't with you. The obstacles would still be there to serve as checkpoints, they'd just be shit like debris that you have to crawl under with the triangle button instead of doors you have to lift. The AI just teleports over to you when you press triangle at a point where you need them anyway, so it is the same speed as being by yourself.
The only time you ever really have to wait for them is when you boost them up above you and you have to watch as they find something to help you up. And that shit happens just as much in U2 as it does in U4, even though yes U2 has companions with you for less of the time.
>>341387753
All three God of war games threw multiple enemies at you in the first battle. Game should have been a full reboot or a new ip

GoW was never 10/10 amazing, but this shit is even worse. This is Ryse-tier trash. There's a difference between "mediocre" and "fucking garbage".
>>341388079
Hamill is actually a good Voice Actor for starters and there are plenty of other good Joker voices. Is he the most iconic? Sure. But you can do Joker without him (un-preferred since Hamill is actually a good fucking VA unlike Krato's old VA).
>>341355498
I want to like it but idk that I can. The combat looked satisfying to a degree, but I can tell I'm going to miss the blade of Chaos

That's the thing though. Kratos voice was distinct and easily distinguishable .
You act like people are incapable of improving upon their skills. Directors are also there for a reason.
From the demo, it's not like there was any improvement.
watch when they say they've "matured" and don't include a sex mini game. and no nudity at all.
>>341388794
Atleast they didnt censor the titsin countries that matter
>>341355498
The rpg system will be a bare bones character progression system and we've already seen that the game is loaded down with endless cinematics so that's a bold faced lie.
We didn't get "btfo". We've seen the game, it's a boring moviegame. There's no point in expecting it to be more than that.
>>341388462
>gears of war clone
At least make a sensible comparison. Damn, you people just shit from your mouth or in this case, keyboard.
>>341389042

>>341388240
>The obstacles would still be there to serve as checkpoints, they'd just be shit like debris that you have to crawl under with the triangle button instead of doors you have to lift.
They don't put those things there for checkpoints.
Those exist to keep the player from backtracking so that the game engine can un-load all the assets from the previous area and replace them with all the assets from the new area.
>>341389104
No cinematics, anon.
Can't be a movie game.
>>341368728
Fuck off retard
Actually good games with complex combat
DMC3
Ninja Gaiden Black
DMC4
NInja Gaiden 2
Rest is trash filled with QTE memes and dull stupid bland combat with terribad hitboxes and poor animations
>>341389017
Directors can only do so much anon. God of War 2 and 3 had good directors but he still did a shit job. People also tend to get worse at voice acting when they get older, not better. Getting rid of him is a good idea, seeing how this is supposedly a soft reboot/sequel with a slightly different Kratos. Also you miss the point where I continuously hammered on the fact that using Hamill as a comparison is bad because Hamill is actually a good VA. There have been plenty of other good jokers outside of Hamill. He's the best and most iconic (and actually good) but they can use others. Just like how there are multiple batman voices.
>>341389195
the camera angle is right from gears. hate these 3rd person views where the character walks so stiffly. and the camera is off to the side.
Why isn't this a reboot?
>>341389042
Of course they won't, they're trying to be taken seriously and have a "deep" story, sex minigames would be far too toxic and triggering. Plus I'm sure that kid will be with you the whole time.
>>341388515
the director of the game was terrified to offend women, thus the harpys and gorgons were made more bestial than woman and the sex minigame was actually a trap.
Even then Adam Sessler got people into a foaming at the mouth mad when Orkos saves Kratos from being killed by his mothers the Furies and you unlock a trophy named Bros before Hoes.
Trophy was thought up by a woman and renamed to Bros before Foes and then at that point sjws decided to still give the game shit because the 3 main bosses of the game are strong females who don't need no man but are loyal to Ares and treat their son with him like shit (Orkos) because he isn't a warrior like any of them

Except that we have the 15 minute start of the game and it was laden with cinematics.
Are you marketers so uninformed that you don't realize that the trailer has already dropped? That we've already seen it?
Also, it's not just the fact that the game is laden with cinematics, it's that the actual gameplay itself has been sterilized into simplistic cinematic moves. The gameplay itself is the "movie game" part.
>>341367847
That's what I've been saying all fucking thread long.
I swear to fuck, people are just disregarding it all because they have a hate boner for anything remotely similar to TLoU.
How the fuck can people sit there defending the mechanics present in God of War, none of which was particularly good in any fashion, and then shit on anything new getting implemented because it isn't more of the samey bullshit they save in the last game.
These fucks tell me that the new God of War is gonna create more homogenization throughout the gaming industry, yet you want more of the fucking same anyway.
What's the fucking matter with you people
>>341389820
>>then you move a crosshair and shoot a deer
You can Thank Naughty Dog for the cinematic Character Driven games. Now all other fucking Sony devs want to copy them.
>>341389439
Explain how he did a shit job. The games were never narrative focused so please explain.
And this is clearly the same Kratos. "Spartan Rage", ash covered, "You don't belong in Valhalla".
6 games and suddenly they change?
And again. it's not like the VA in the demo was any better.
What's your favorite GoW, /v/?
Me? I like 3.
>>341389820
> neo sonygger
What on earth?
>>341389493
Wow, you're fucking stupid then. I guess every game with over the shoulder is gears.
>>341359779
according to the devs the tutorial isn't representative of the game because free form action is "obvious" for the series and they wanted to show off the more emotional side of the game.I hope that's not bullshit
>>341390275
depends on how the character moves.
game is not going to fast and fluid any more.
>>341390193
I honestly liked three the most as well
Honorable mention is ascension's final boss, I was pretty blown away from how cool it was presented
>>341390207
a proper sonygger defends god of war 1-3 even though they're not amazing
a neo-sonygger defends god of my cuck's son even though it's a boring moviegame that will suck ass
>>341390404
Thanks for proving my point, retard.
>>341367847
>TLoU's combat had more depth than more depth than a lot of AAA games.
But it didn't. It was very basic, very bland.
>>341390483
>retard
have you even played the game?
let people fucking speculate you stupid degenerate.
>>341382195
Same I love DMC style combat were you satisfyingly slaughter every fucking thing in your path Kratos is one of my favorite character because he wasmt a good guy in fact he's a monster buffering thousands casing the aypocalypse but he still has a tragic backstory and tortured personality that's interesting as guck for me as a viewer sure he feels remorse after he's killed every one he even got so sick of his shit he when he killed all the gods he realized it was time to end it and he fucking did
>>341389820
>varied attack moves
>Gow 1-3
>Horde of enemies
>Varied moves
>Not just a a few that keep respawning on which you have to mash square and triangle or just plain execute because there is no tactical advantage of advanced moves
>Have fun
>Fun
I pity you if you didn't get bored of that shit already after fighting Poseidon
>once cinematic is over, you walk and talk and after ten minutes of boring, you finally get to a battle but the combat is now cinematic and you just press square once to to a cinematic kill move
>then more walking and talking
>then you move a crosshair and shoot a deer
TEN MINUTES. START OF GAME.
For all we fucking know it's just a prologue to what the majority of the game is going to be about.
>>341390059
>this looks really bad
>but it's new!
>>341390131
>Explain how he did a shit job. The games were never narrative focused so please explain.
How does that matter? Voice acting is Voice acting, regardless of how narrative focused the game is. He was fucking shit. All his stupid angry and/or gruff lines were terribly spoken, especially in God of War 3. He was only decent int he first game when he wasn't screaming or talking like a retard with a stick up his ass. His voice cracked a shit ton in the other games as well, very poor performance. If they did actually get a new guy, he did a better job than the old guy did across any of the games. He was shit at the beginning but he sounded decent towards the end of the trailer.
>>341390451
> a neo-sonygger defends god of my cuck's son even though it's a boring moviegame that will suck ass
The game has literally one segment of footage shown
You think it doesnt annoy people seeing how blasted the game gets online like that? We cannot have one hype and hope thread about this game due to all the shitposting
>>341390583
Get a fucking education you dense sub-human mouth breather.
>>341390803
Did you even read what I wrote?
>>341390824
Why would you hype and hope over a game that looks so fucking rote and boring?
>>341390824
>>341390745
the first 15 minutes of the game are moviegame. do you HONESTLY think there will be a massive gameplay shift at the first 15 minutes in which the entire tone of the gameplay changes?
>>341390193
gotta go with 3 for the boss battles and actual useful weapons.
Through 2 has a special place in my heart because it actually was one of the few games whose ending actually had me hyped for the next game.
I mean Kratos is wielding the strongest god weapon, riding on the back of a fucking Titan who's climbing Olympus and Kratos is hype as shit to get at Zeus

>>341390935
Yes. Your argument is that since GoW sucks, any change is good change. This is a facile proposition at best.
>>341391006
Becauseyou and I do not share the same opinionwhy would you post in a thread for a game you do not care for?
>>341355498
normies getting hyped for this
doesn't even feel like a GOW game, just a Last of Us clone.
And look at the article "care about the series for the first time" - clearly a hipster faggot who refused to even try the last 3 games because of SJW reasons...
God, video game companies are no longer making video games, they're just making 3D interactive movies.
>>341390902
I should learn to not reply to people that only want to hear them selves talk. yeah you're right.
>>341390815
Of course he was bad, that's why he was called back for 6 games huh?
New guy does nothing different that was in before.
Doesn't matter though, this isn't a God of War game.
>>341390824
>B--B-BUT IT'S JUST A BETA, THEY WILL FIX IT AND CHANGE THE GAMEPLAY
>>341391191
>them selves
>yeah you're right.
>I should learn
Of course I'm fucking correct. Glad you know your place.
Dipshit.
>>341391204
>Of course he was bad, that's why he was called back for 6 games huh?
That's because he was Kratos, that doesn't mean he was a good VA you fucking retard. David Hayter was shit as Snake but he was still Snake for 4+ fucking games.
the last of us was a movie but at least it had good dialogue
the dialogue in god of war trailer sounded so corny
also, kratos is basically angry man with no personality. once you create a 2 dimensional character, it's nearly impossible to convincingly make him into a 3 dimensional emotional character. the audience just won't buy it. he wasn't a conflicted and sensitive man during the past 4-5 games we played him in, why is he now gonna be completely different?
>>341391161
>341390824
during the IGN livestream thats exactly what they said.
>It looks so different from the violent and sexist previous games that we hated so much and we love it
>hopefully it really is a reboot of the old games and has no connections to em or we'll shit on it as well
Personally I got more faith in Sony Santa Monica that most the other ingrained Sony devs left and from what I seen it looked decent but im not sold on the game until I see more of the game, preferably with an entire level released as a demo like they did with GoW3 and Ascension
>>341391134
Because I actually kind of liked God of War and it fucking upsets me that their attempt at innovating the series is to ape the most popular videogame trends in the most flaccid way possible. It even had a surrogate dad story again for fuck's sake.
>>341391129
No, my argument is that it's stupid to say that somehow the new God of War contributes to the homogenization of the medium despite there having been made 7 games in the God of War series, all of which played the fucking same, not that change is inherently good. My problem is people pretending the game is dead on fucking arrival
>Be me God of war fan
> waiting for a few years for a true sequel after 3
>ascension is shit
> Fast forward to E3 2016 hear they're announcing a new God of war hyped as fuck

>>341391414
>That's because he was Kratos
Wow, something actually is going through that thing you call a brain?
Damn I hate having discussions with inept retards.
Learn reading comprehension you fucking imbecile. That was the whole point of my initial comment. Fucking Christ.
THINK BEFORE YOU TYPE!
>>341391204
>they kept getting the role, they must be good
Aisha Taylor is a terrible host but she keeps hosting Ubisofts conferences every year due to a variety of reasons.
Daniel Craig was Bond for almost a decade, but he wasn't good at it.
Hayden Christensen was Skywalker for a bunch of movies, but he was terrible at that.
Being good has nothing to do with it.
if the combat is stiff like what we saw then fuck it.
hate the gears of war camera angle, and even when it opens up it was still just some dumb side step shit. This is supposed to hype you for the next game but I'm not hyped at all.
>>341391551
If you actually do like God of War, then wait and see how it ends up anon. These dev's really know quality, so personally I have faith in them, they wouldnt reboot the series just to turn it into The Last of Us with an axe
>>341391723
What.
>>341391732
>Wow, something actually is going through that thing you call a brain?
Are you being retarded right now? I already said he was Kratos a while ago. Did the entire Mark Hamilll thing you brought up completely go over your head? And you tell me to work on my reading comprehension? Did you forget all the crap I typed not even 20 minutes ago?
>>341391723
Meant to post this in my cringe thread haha oops
>>341391414
>That's because he was Kratos
so why change it now?
Did they want Sutherland?
>>341391819
>they wouldnt reboot the series just to turn it into The Last of Us with an axe
Jaffe probably would if he was ever given control of the series again, he's really a shadow of the man he was even just a few years back.
Stig Autism could go either way.
Outta all the past game directors of the GoW games Cory Barlog is pretty much the one I have the most faith in
>>341392056
>so why change it now?
Fresh new start, the old VA was shit, etc.
>>341392536
>the old VA was shit
new one isn't any better.
my bet is it was a money dispute.
if quality was a real big deal they would have fought to keep micheal ironside for splinter cell.
>>341392718
>new one isn't any better.
He is, his comber lines are much more efficiently spoken and his voice doesn't crack like a 14 year old.
Maybe if they were still going for aspergers Kratos I would agree with you, butt hat's not what they're doing here.
>>341391819
I hope it turns out well, but this is a MASSIVE blow to my confidence. This is the exact opposite direction I wanted the series to go. I wanted it to become goofier and more over the top, not more grounded and realistic.
>>341391490
Because the game is not being created for the people who liked the old god of wars, but for the retards who love tlou/walking dead.
