Deep-dive on game-specific controller setups from the teams behind God of War Ragnarök, FIFA 23, and Destiny 2.
New God of War Ragnarok mined data reveals hidden cutscenes with Athena, Atreus, and a new character named "Mau".
Right now I am more excited to see some gameplay of the Remake Trilogy than the sequel.
Question is? Is the remake going to be 100% faithful to the original, or will they cut out some of more controversial parts? Aka. Sex scenes? It’ll be interesting
I'm really not fussed if we don't see Atreus again to be honest
Kratos should be the main focus at the end of the day, I thought the Atreus sections in Ragnarök were pretty boring, he's just not that interesting on his own.
I don't get it either why they have to shoehorn hos "son" into the story. Just give us Kratos.
What i cannot think of is Sony closing this studio as well at some point. They are really on a terrible streak towards downfall…
They did Atreus dirty in Ragnarok. His design doesn't match at all the way he behaved and his personality. They didn't write him to come into his own, instead they wrote him as an obnoxious modern day teenager, acting out and being cringe all the way through. I was hoping to see him become Loki but nope.
I think I'd be cool with a mid budget Atreus game but my loyalty is with Kratos for sure. Looking forward to seeing what the remakes are more than anything atm. But also I'm still mad at Playstation over Bluepoint
GOW has the potential to be spinoff'd into games about other gods. A game about Atreus becoming Loki with a trickster mechanic where the story changes depending on your method of tricking other characters would be hella interesting. More so if they bring Atreus to whatever other patheon they might have planned for Kratos. Actually would be a missed opportunity if they don't make Atreus in a reoccurring character in future games. He could easily be the Patches of the GOW franchise.
PlayStation has scaled back expectations for Bungie after reassessing Destiny 2 development costs, highlighting the risks tied to live-service games.
Honestly Thank Goodness!! Yet another good sign of a possibility of returning to what made them great and undoing Jim Tyans trend chasing love service gamble. Still gotta wait and see just what direction they're going but this is a good sign in my book that they're not betting it all on live service anymore
Not sure what you lot are talking about anymore. They need to cover all range of games. Im primarily a single player gamer, but even I cannot be daft enough to ignore the fact that we need all manner of games including live service games. Everyone here seems to be a market expert.
Yes "all manner" not just exclusively live service like Jim was doing, but you also shouldn't be forcing devs to make games they not only have no experience making, but also flatout dont want to do.
Assuming that anything like that is actually the case and not just a perception of n4g commenters of course.

I don't understand why you people have to keep making up lies. You can say you don't like some or most of their focus being on live service games, but to say they were exclusively focusing on live service games is pure copium. At most half of their games were live service and the rest were single player games. Seriously why lie about something so obvious?
@Redemption-64
You say that as if we don't have word directly from Jim Ryan and PlayStation stating they wanted at least 12 live service games released within a year. Followed by tons of official word of those Live Service games being cancelled after he was pushed out. All studios combined at the time PS had 15 studios, 12 is a hell of a lot more than half of 15, and it was definitely their primary focus evident by the fact that a huge portion of their studios have taken uncharacteristically long to release or announce anything since, hell some studios have yet to release anything this gen almost 6 YEARS LATER! The only one making stuff up is you.
It may take a while but maybe they are finally learning. Good! Now stop with the live service crap.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a live service here or there, but to have many of your studios start focusing on it when there has been little to no experience among them was wild.
They say this and then immediately release news of the Horizons co-op game that will definitely be a Live Service game.
I feel like they knew that given the fact that the very furst thing they say in the trailer is to reassure they still make so games 😆

They will not. Destiny has been popular for over 10 years, something most games can never hope to achieve. Most people, including myself those Bungie was going to make a D3 after the final shape DLC. Marathon looks to be a hit and a D3 announcement could break records.
The Austrian Supreme Court has ruled in favour of Sony and EA, stating that lootboxes in FIFA Ultimate Team aren't gambling since enough skill is involved. While that's a big setback for the players that sued, it also gives clear reference to when lootbox modes are or aren't "skill-based".
