Something that I'm surprised no one else has said is that the fighting styles between Kratos and Nariko are completely different. They may use the same weapons, but the way they are used are much more different with Nariko. And it's where the differences between the two games stand.

One thing that always bothered me about GOW is that he would stand there, then just push out his arm, the chain would extend and then retract. That's very little swinging. And it's not really what you do with swords. Yeah, you can stab people like Kratos did, but it's not very natural. Granted, there were some moves that he did swing his swords. There just weren't very many. But that type of fighting allows you to be very precise in your combat. And it worked well, because GOW had an emphasis on using the chaos blades to find the weakness of each enemy. Hitting quick, then being able to roll out of the way.

Nariko is a swinger (hehehe). She's swinging all her swords like they are, well, swords. That's just how you use a sword. And with 3 different stances with three different strengths and weaknesses, you really get a dynamic fighting system. HS seems like it puts an emphasis on what weapon style you should use considering the environment and enemies. More choice, more dynamics.

Of course, this is all based on the footage that we've all seen so far. I think HS going to have weakness-type fights later on as well (I mean, we've only seen one type of enemy)

That's why I'm really really excited about this game. Nariko is going to be very dynamic in her ability to defeat different enemies in different situations, whether it be 1 on 1, 1 on 10, or 1 on 100. It's really going to expand on the abilities of this genre.

That's my opinion.

that doesn't take place in an arena stage of some sort. I've seen no gameplay where she's running around in an open level. Nor have I seen any of the "ai" doing anything intelligent. Watching all the gameplay videos, most of the enemies stand there and take it. It also seems like you only really need the one stance. purely based on what I've seen, I think that the game is very linear, it looks good but the game and story seem uninspired.

This game looks likes it going to become boring very quickly.
I cant figure out what all the hype is for?? or is it becuase there is nothing else on the ps3?

I can't wait for this game. With all the succes of FPS's there really isn't a lot of Action/adventure our there and noe that look as good as this.

I hear people saying that this could get repetitive but what game does not repeat? I'm plying Resistance and I constantly run into enemies and have to shoot them. I'm still playing Halo 2 and no matter how many times I play, some body ina Masterchiefs uniforms runs over and I have to shoot them.

What game is not somewhat repetitive?

i would wait until after e3 to judge if this game is just going to be more of the same. you never know, i could be a massive adventure game for all we know. Ninja Theory never siad it`s going to all take place in arenas, but they did say its an action/adventure. It could just be in arenas(which i would be disappointed) but i can`t say that for sure until e3.

and this is not GOW, GOW was set in a completly different scenario (mythalogical) heavenly sword seems to be more a feudal japan era.
to completly different things.

Why are people so offended that some of the gaming community isn't hyped up on this game, its a new IP by a company with a bad track record and most of the gaming news community has given it the name goddess of war.

Also it is a lot like God of War, it used the same kind of weapon and combat

Yes this game is alot like Gow Of War, it has certain similarities. But it's entirely different at the same time. If you like GOW you will most likely enjoy the hell out of this. I for one am anticipating this ALOT, looks like so much fun. soccerstar you rock for finding this.

. Yea stances are pretty kool.

my god this games is awesome.

I’m beating a dead horse here… but Resisitance FOM gun lay out was so fun, multiplayer was one of my top favorite experiences. Insomniac nailed it and I would love a remaster and maybe a redo with Reisistance 2. They listens to players who were wanting a Halo killer and it kind of lost its character from the first.

Warhawk, if they had just remade the first one not Starhawk which offered nice things like the build and battle.. but Warhawk was the best arcade shooter I ever played. Back when you didn’t have battle passes and you actually had to get certain amount of kills or ribbons to unlock different paint skins on the Warhawks and armor for your player.. Look at the success of Helldivers 2, it’s a fun game and it reminds me of Warhawk in a way. I’ve been wanting a remake or sequel since the beginning of the ps4 gen.. it’s hurts to have hope nowadays. Even with the demise of the studios Sony has a steady fan base.

Killzone game after Killzone 2 play style would be nice

Motorstorm would be epic with the visual upgrade, maybe this game would be a harder sell with the genre being not as popular nowadays..

Resistance franchise, Motorstorm and Dirt 2 which was fun as heck. Add Dead Space 2 as well.

I quickly looked and only saw the words PS5 Remaster and a picture of Fall of Mans logo

Ahhhh shit, well maybe one day

Resistance 1-3 remastered with online

Kill zone 1-3 remastered with online

God of war PS3 games and PSP games collection

Infamous 1-2 with all dlc please we need this. It’s such an underrated franchise and so much potential. In this age of super hero media craze Sony should utilize infamous

White knight chronicles 1-2

Warhawk and starhawk

Motorstorm series

MGS4

Easy money would be to remake Resistance and Killzone series, rather than just a remaster. And PS5 desperately needs some couch co-op shooters so this would scratch that itch.

Infamous 1+2 and KZ 2+3

Deus Ex Human Revolution

GTA IV needs one.
Still stuck on PS3 and 360.

PS3 ended up been a beast of a console, slow out of the gate, picked up steam, smashed through the finish line. The 1st PS3 slim is still one of my favourite consoles. So solid, great games, by the time GTA5 and the last of us had come out it was a clear winner for me

Nice to see that they included Pupetteer in this list.

"PS3 may not have been the strongest generation"

Meanwhile...just looking at exclusives alone and not even third party titles

Uncharted was born
Demon's Souls was born
Metal Gear Solid 4
God of War 3
The Last of Us was born
Little Big Planet was born
Warhawk
Killzone 2 and 3
Infamous was born
Resistance was born
Motorstorm was born
Gran Turismo
Heavy Rain
Journey
Shadow of the Colossus returned paving the way for the remake in the PS4 generation
PS Plus was born

Sorry bud, but the PS3 generation was amazing and featured the greatest console comeback in history.

That said, I'd love it if Warhawk returned or Metal Gear Solid 4. It needs to not be shackled to the PS3 generation anymore. A Killzone 2 remake would be insane with modern graphics and that art direction.

I really miss this gen of gaming. It felt like the last truly "great" era for videogames before the modern approach really took hold.

The PS3 was such a glorious console. The UI, the games, the free online...just incredible.

Add Mag to that list.

I would pay good money for a Warhawk remake. Socom too. The last Socom game just didn’t do it justice. Folklore could use a remaster or remake as well.
Several other titles I would like to remade with the amount of visual fidelity the current gen has over the past consoles it could help articulate the games that we’ve loved growing up. I would love even some ps2 titles to remade.. Dark Cloud from ps2, Legacy of Kain series but don’t know what will come of it sense it was bought by Embracer group and all there layoffs.

This strategy is exactly what helped ruin Xbox. Sony more than Microsoft know when to let a franchise go and that is important to keep things fresh. The old games are there if you want to play them.

Resistance series and Killzone 2 & 3 remasters/remakes. Make it happen. They will print money.

FF13 is top of this list for me. No matter your opinion on it, it being the only numbered offline FF out of all 16 not to be on new consoles is odd. GTA IV would be great too

The only reason my PS3 is still connected is because of the Resistance, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm games that I still love to play. I am for remaking or remastering them.

Would absolutely love a remastered collection of the resistance games

Resistance 1-3 and Killzone 1-3 too. Folklore and 3 Dot Heroes are underrated gems.

Why remaster games that ps5 players can't access when you can remaster a 4 year old game like tlou2 that was already patched with ps5 improvements

Would love a remake of the first Resistance game and also Tools of Destruction.

A gem of a gen, imo! So much IP to pluck.

Infamous 1&2 will sadly always be ignored by Sony, not even a ps4 remaster the whole gen, smh but uncharted, horizon, even days gone had next gen upgrades sheesh 🤦🏽 mane even tho Sony is still doing pretty good in the console business they are a lil big headed lol, I never played the resistance series but it would of been dope to see those games updated as well, we fans get lil surprises here n there but things we really are into having and being vocal about gets passed over like a mf 🤣😩

Remasters are a waste of time and developer resources. Real Devs make new games.

God I would live a Killzone or Resistance collection. Really hoping for a new one in either franchise down the line, loved both series.

I’d say new sequels instead.

Got be resistance /prototype as well

How much prefer the killzone universe to that of Horizon's.
