SCE Santa Monica's God of War is looking mighty fine on the PlayStation 4. The graphics and epic scale have been maintained, the combat is still intense and combo-rific and there are plenty of twists thrown in with Kratos' son and this new Norse setting.
"It was so offensive to me"
Cliff Bleszinski shares thoughts on Gears of War’s PlayStation debut, E-Day, and Microsoft’s Game Pass strategy.
The narrative deduction title is available on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the App Store for just $7.
Cory Barlog admitted that change isn't going to make people happy. But his passion to this game is something that make me understand and I'm willing to support. I'm very exciting for this game not just because Cory Barlog was GOW2 director, but it also his passion and risk are something worth fighting for. Just like I supported Horizon Zero Dawn since it was first revealed at E3 2015. The new God of War is still GOW but it will be more personal and grounded. Kratos is still Kratos but it will be like the old Kratos who was family man and General of Spartan Army before Ares tricked him and turned him into a monster. Kratos still doesn't trust any gods and he will kill them but he won't take vengeance like he did in Greek. Meaning he will kill them with more reasonable way. And his son, Kratos won't waste his opportunity as a father. His son need him and he need his son.
I'm not saying it looks shit or bad or anything to put the games quality down (before anyone starts) but change is fine when it suits what the game was like before hand...but when we've had the Last of Us which did this "father/daughter" like bond only to see it happen in God of War 4...it's like "Cool, looks awesome, new God of War, Yes...but...I've seen this not too long ago"
I would have preferred if it was his Wife (or will become his new wife) he was on a journey with. A bad ass female character like Kratos who can also handle herself...let him grow as a character with her and open himself up abit as he struggles because of the pain which happened between him and his last family.
I just don't want to be baby sitting a young kid for the entire game, I want some solo Kratos time...which is why I'm still holding out this game is just to get him to open up again only to see the kid die in the end setting up his rage for the next 2 games in the trilogy.
To be honest even if they had this setting and a character like Kratos on his own it would have been different enough. Maybe not even say it's related, they could have had a different name only for there to be a 100% confirmation at the end of the game they are set in the same Universe.
Big franchises like God of War need to change and evolve In order to remain relevant, I guarantee if God of War had just been the same the reaction would be nowhere near as positive as it was when it was revealed last year, This new entry in the franchise does it brilliantly striking a balance between the old and new, SSM nailed it last year with the exception of Zelda it was the most talked about game at E3 2016 even now that demo is approaching nearly 18 million views on YouTube
All I wanted was a continuation from God of War III set in either Norse or Egyptian mythology with Kratos still as the lead luckily for me I got all 3 :)
I love dev who are honest, and transparent about their product. Can't wait to play.
Corey needed to go start a new franchise or just make a sequel to something that looks just like this game (most ps4 exclusives lately even down to your parental figure teaching you how to use a bow). God of War used to be unique to the platform, now it looks like 5 other games...
