So many games seem to release without new game plus. Why does there seem to be so many games adding it in as a feature after launch?
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.

Game music often lasts longer than the games themselves. Why soundtracks preserve gaming memories even after consoles and platforms fade.
Honestly I feel a lot of modes are just devs overthinking it, most would be happy with just starting over with the same stats, but they always want to add some extra layers and loot to it and that's what I think delays it till after launch. And don't get me wrong I appreciate the want to add more, but like I just finished RoboCop and all I want to do is start over, or even replay missions with my new abilities and there's no way to do that yet.
yea its abit odd.
i replay alot of the games i like andbwhile i dont mind starting from scratch, sometimes it would be more fun with some extra goodies that carried over from my previous file.
I think Sony does it to give their titles a little bump after a month or so of sales. They've done that with a few titles. I think they did the same deal with photo modes
It’s so that the relevance of a game can be extended over time. Instead of offering New Game + from day one, developers can add it in a future update that will then give gamers an excuse to dust off the title. This leads to fresh news coverage, increased traffic and discourse, and prevents a game from fading away in a few weeks.
It’s a bit of that GaaS/episodic factor that attempts to prolong the relevance of a multi-year development and generate more buzz and profit.
Chapter select please. For the missables.
