I have a feeling it will be at the main Games Fest show. I believe Square regrets the PS timed exclusivity and I would expect them to move away from highlighting their Sony connection and wanting to appeal to cross-platform.

Dont give him hope like that.

No Remake Part 3 reveal, 0/10 showcase NGL.

You do realize it’s just gonna get its own dedicated reveal, no?

So disheartening that a studio has to clarify that there'll be more "man games" after announcing a game with a woman in it.

Fuck I hate all those insecure little GamerTM shits.

Santa Monica is doing this of their own will, and they've made it clear for the grifters and TMs to fuck off. Though I do agree that Kratos story is completely over. Why not focus on an adult Atreus or brand new character in general?

I just saw a clip of Dave Jaffe being a dried up c*nt again about God of War - Dude really has nothing going on in his life anymore, huh? And that's coming from someone who has nothing going on in his life.

Jaffe will never be wrong, no matter how badly he communicates the point. Kratos is not the same character and it's not God of War. Where was the narrator? Where were the cutscenes that efficiently moved the story along (between cinematic scripted camera angles that can highlight scale), skipping depressing walking and talking that doesn't fit the tone? Like normal everyday dialogue in Clash of the Titans. Awkward as hell. Didn't feel like a world of mythical creatures and gods at all with that ordinary walk and talk dialogue. Baldur sounded and looked like standard white trash. Multiplying the exposition so many times with all this talking didn't make the story better than it was before, it made it worse.

Everything is toned down. But, if it's the same universe, he would still have to he brutal in order to survive. I don't think it was just rage that made him beat the enemy with their own dismembered arm, but assurance that the monster would not attack again. The absence of nudity has nothing to do with him being milder in his later years. Think about it. He could reject sex with a random woman or not look at a monster's tits, but why was there nudity in the old and not in the new? Pretentious art game, ashamed of its roots.

Also everything this man said:

Is genuinely disturbing how disgusting every new AAA game looks. They took the concept of uncanny valley and decided to take it to the extreme. Unnecessary level of detail everywhere, hyper focused camera in the mug of every character, nothing has a color palette because all you see is prefabricated assets disjointedly done without any type of artistic direction.

The protagonist feels as if someone was running around in a green screen using a motion capture suit. The weapons look like cheap playdough props. To the side of your hyper mega detailed realistic face in which you can count eyelashes, you have your cutey little disney toon with bug eyes and a talking cube. Nothing of this would be out of place in the dozen marvel films where everything is fake green screen and the only real thing is the actor (also filled with CGI so they can give them the non-existent muscles and asses).

If this was a movie it would be considered rubbish for its 0 cinematographic value and the abuse of stupid camera angles.
If it was a book it would be condemned for the ridiculously robotic and disconnected dialog.
But I guess since is a videogame it can get away with the worst of both worlds.

Because Gamers (TM) only want something new unless it's a series they like. If they like a series, they want it to remain exactly the same. Not that Gamers (TM) are alone in this. Halloween 3 bombing in part because of it not having Michael Myers comes to mind.

 

[bluegate]

Where was the narrator?

Murdered by Kratos, literally.

 

[BrawlMan]

Gaia was the narrator and killed by Kratos in III. And you call yourself a "true God of War fan" @Ezekiel. Also, she was revealed to be the narrator in II.

Yet they've made it clear, they wanted to move forward. If that's not the case, then why even bother in the first place? Sounds more like they can't move on. I'll happily take this next game, but if the next game after this goes back to Kratos being the main playable character, then I might as well just stop there and never bother with any other future game in this franchise.

They want to have their cake and eat it too. Give them change, they want things to stay the same. Give them more of the same, they want things to change. It's impossible.

Tho of course a contingent is just too bitter the world has passed them by, and can never be pleased

So replace her. It's a new saga in a new pantheon after all. She was much more efficient than Kratos and son talking about every little thing in empty spaces between arenas and puzzle areas where things actually happened, at the expense of the music. Can't have an eery piece of orchestral music playing if it will interrupt the talking. Depressing.

Exactly why Splinter Cell: Blacklist flopped. Because Michael Ironside didn't voice Sam Fisher, "fans" threw a hissy fit, didn't give it a chance, and killed the franchise. Don't get me wrong; Ironside is an iconic part of the Splinter Cell experience, but at it's core it's a GAME, and Blacklist is arguably the second best Splinter Cell GAME behind only Chaos Theory from nearly a decade earlier.

All that sounds like a you problem.

 

[FakeSympathy]

Oh and speaking of GOW:

That's kinda awesome to hear, NGL. As much as I loved Witcher 3, the combat system did get frustrating from time to time.

Witcher 4 with GOW-style combat system sounds amazing.

This is spam.

Kratos should have been the villain in the series, after the third game he pretty much destroyed the whole of Greece for his selfish bs. Should have been playing an avatar of an Egyptian god or something to take him out.

The original plan was to just go to a new character and patheon.While letting his trilogy story end on some implied ambiguity. That's what I wanted to begin with back when I was hearing rumors circulate.

 

[CriticalGaming]

I dont understand what's got everyone's panties in a know over a spin-off game. It's just a spin off of God of War and the story heavily implieed not only this game but also that the next game would be focused more on Loki. So Kratos is on the way out regardless.

I dont think Faye is that ugly, she's just an older Milf woman so whatever it's fine. The combat looks more of the same shit we've had in the past couple games which was good combat. Everything about the game is fine, people are just chudding out because "lady"?

Fuck man ya'll know I'm not a fan of woke slop but even I'm saying this is a retarded spurg out by online chuds.

 

[thebobmaster]

I do love all the people calling Faye ugly, because they are really telling on themselves for their standards. Why? Because she basically looks like her actress, Deborah Ann Woll, but without makeup on.
