Why God of War can become the best franchise of this generation

App Trigger: "God of War is arguably the best game of the year, leaving everyone with their jaws touching the floor. Now, with the first chapter of a fantastic adventure over, there’s a chance this could become the best franchise of this generation."

Cory Barlog and team really did wonders making God of War for PS4. Hands down one of the best games I’ve ever played.

GaboonViper2641d ago

Yes just one massive problem.....we have to wait for the sequel.

Skull5212640d ago

I don’t think you can be franchise of the generation with one game released. If we’re talking game of the generation that will go to Red Dead 2, only 26 hours to go!

UCForce2640d ago (Edited 2640d ago )

@Skull521 How about both ? “Sigh” I do know Red Dead Redemption 2 will get more awards than God Of War, but at least some of games like God Of War, Spider Man and Dead Cell deserve their own awards.

Sunny_D2640d ago

@skull

There can be multiple game of the generations and I can play them all on PS4! How about that?!!!! 😉

NecrumOddBoy2640d ago

GOW is the start of a new series in the franchise. It's the only GOW game this gen (minus a remastering).

Skull5212640d ago

I don’t know what the franchise of the generation would be, certainly isn’t CoD or Assassins Creed, can’t think of other franchises that have put out multiple games this gen.

TGGJustin2640d ago

@UCForce I wouldn't be so sure of RDR2 getting more awards than God of War. Many people thought the same thing when GTA5 released near the end of 2013 and yet TLOU won almost 100 more than it did.

It really is a master class in game design. Phenomenal work from the devs.

I preferred the franchise style before the reboot more, but the new one is still a fantastic game.

Having Gone with Kratos for the ride that was his tour of destruction through the Greek Parthenon, I thought the character had shown all he had to offer. Boy was I wrong! God of War was the perfect example of there's more here's than meets the eye!

From the start screen with Kratos standing there with his ax and the pain in his eyes and the rage in his swings to the journey he and Atreus embarked on and to them seeing a promise through really impacted me more than I was expecting!

All the memories of the original trilogy came flooding back to me when Kratos found the vase with his conquest painted on it and the low orchestra score playing as he looked upon it!

This is a prime example of what this medium can be and how it can create so many emotions that range from fear, rage, empathy and joy! The fact that you the player are along for the ride makes gaming something very special!

PhoenixUp2641d ago

Best franchise with only one new game this generation? What does that even mean?

God of War is already an excellent series, but idk what the headline is trying to say with its wording

UNCHARTED2FANATIC2640d ago

Right? Its one game and practically a new franchise apart from the old excellent god of war games

The Game Awards Teaser Statue Unrelated to Diablo or God of War

A circulating Game Awards teaser statue prompted speculation about Diablo and God of War, but key industry figures state it is tied to neither franchise.

It could either be a new IP, or a long dormant IP that we don't know about. A deep piece of lore that nobody has picked up on. If it's a new IP, what the point of doing this teaser? Nobody will figure it out and it's weird marketing. I'll say it's a old IP making a comeback.

MIDGETonSTILTS1745d ago

The only game I can think of that involves a wolf and a crocodile might be Rampage, but there is no way their rebooting that IP like this

lukasmain45d ago

Could it be SAROS ??? Looks like it might be part of that world design. Alien architecture idk

Lightning7745d ago

Saros? No need to keep that secret we've already seen it plus that announcement wouldn't be received well. I mean PS fans would like it I guess.

Lightning7745d ago (Edited 45d ago )

Deeper analysis on it. If an old IP. It's definitely not in the past 10 years. I think it's a game from the past 20+ years. Why? Well nobody so far is able to figure out what this statue is. Which brings me to think it could be niche 20+ plus year old game. Again New IP? I mean viral marketing can happen but this type of. Marketing makes 0 sense so the chance of a new game are very Slim. IMO of course.

Do I think it's a big game. Tbh it's geoff. Though tbh he's gotten allot better at hyping and tempering expections. I think it'll be divided, niche title that some will be crazy excited for it others will be scratching heads or pissed off. Reception, divided.

AsunaYuukiTheFlash44d ago

It’s Legend of Dragoon 2!!!! Yah I know I’m reaching but a man can dream right?

Man, the guy is so entertaining, instant sub from me. But he only has two videos on his page, which is a huge shame.

SimpleSlave50d ago

Great job recreating God of War 1, and Blender fucking rocks. That is all.

Report: First Look at Cancelled God of War Multiplayer Game Unveiled

See the first screenshots of Bluepoint's cancelled live-service God of War game, revealing its return to the Greek setting.

Christopher81d ago

Architecture. Architecture everywhere.

Yang_kai80d ago

How mighty have fallen.
Yeah yeah we know you didn’t READ the title part that say CANCELLED 🤦🏿

SimpleDad80d ago

If you don't understand that we lost five years of a next Bluepoint game, than I can't help you.

Yang_kai80d ago

Well Sony gambled with gas and lost regardless of what anyone say we all spoke with our wallets and their linchpin game failed badly forcing them to cancel those and several other games that was in the pipeline. Personally I don’t see it as time wasted just a costly lesson they learned.
Sony had amazing fun games( Warhawk and Starhawk) that could easily be converted to gas and would be successful but they killed them trying to go for the halo killer

Miraak82 80d ago

LittleBigPlanet is the biggest lost potential Sony had with live service , between costumes, building materials , dlc levels there was money to be made, i know I bought most of the dlcs . Give me a modern game with a fresh servers I'd jump back in. Warhawk was so fun , if I could still play it I still would and be in my forever game list same with KZ2

ShwaaMan81d ago

I have been waiting anxiously for almost 5 years for Bluepoint’s next announcement…
The Demons Souls remake is STILL one of the best looking games on the console…
Only to find out this last year that their project was a live service GoW (that NO ONE asked for) AND cancelled…
Lots of great games on PS5 and more to come, but anyone who thinks Sony has handled this generation well isn’t paying attention.
And I’m more nervous now because with what Microsoft is doing, they don’t really have competition anymore…

Dandalandan11780d ago

Instead of a stupid live service game.
Bluepoint could've just remade the original trilogy. Such a waste of good talent.

spicelicka80d ago

Can't believe the original trilogy hasn't been remade yet while Sony has been remastering the same games 3 times. Would love to see what GOW2 could look like.

Dandalandan11780d ago

Right? GoW2 would look freakin awesome using today's tech
