Alanah Pearce, who was a writer at Sony Santa Monica for several years and worked on God of War Ragnarök, has shed more light on the sex minigames which cropped up in the series' earlier entries.
Other than looking like that, why does anyone care about what she has to say about anything?
Kratos’ story in the God of War series now spans more than twenty years of video games. Throughout that time, the character has appeared across different eras
NateTheHate says the next God of War game will star Faye, feature action focused gameplay, and aim for a 2027 launch.
So let me get this right Corey said he didn’t want to spend 15 years of his life on the one franchise and decided to do a new IP which is why he didn’t do Ragnarok…but his new game is now a God of War prequel about a character who’s dead using Norse mythology.
I don’t get it, I thought it would be a brand new IP
Corey's game was suppose to be a new AAA scifi game. If it's GoW spin off that shouldn't take 8 years to develop, its kinda weird.
I think it got scrapped.
Not sure, but if it's a new IP with new writers, new concepts, and the like that formed up mostly after the last game, I wouldn't expect much out of them for another two years at least. I'm not saying it isn't canned, just he wouldn't start on it until Ragnarok was done and they have a long cycles for new IP development.
Santa Monica has built up enough and utilizes other in-house Sony studios to support their stuff often, so I wouldn't be surprised if they can juggle many new games at once. Especially with Sony now pushing for more support after their Live Service decisions.
I hope we get something to get excited about.. has been dry for a long while from WW studios
What are you basing the idea that the GOW spinoff is Corey's game? Wouldn't that make more sense to have the team that did Ragnarok produce the rumored title?
Why? Because it’s been 8 f***** years at this point since the 2018 game.
Corey’s is expected since he’s been working on his for longer
To have the God of War Ragnarok team put out Valhalla DLC and this new title 5 years after the last game while Corey’s is still a no show would be insane at this point.
The leakers point to this being his game aswell.
I hate how predictable Sony Studios have become. They are pretty much the GOW, Horizon and Spiderman studios now. They are great games but let's mix it up a bit. We used to give Xbox sh*t back in the day for being the Forza, Halo, Gears rinse and repeat but Sony is becoming the same.
The next four games coming out from Sony Studios are:
Marathon
Saros
Wolverine
Intergalactic
This is after Ghost of Yotei and Astrobot. So its more than a bit of a stretch to claim the are only doing God of War, Spiderman and Horizon.
Eon, Marathon is on other platforms and something Bungie was working on before the Sony buyout.
Wolverine is yet another superhero third person cinematic melee combat game.
Intergalactic is another cinematic, third person melee combat game from what we know.
Saros is nothing more than Returnal reskin so far. It's all very boring, uninspired and safe.
Releasing other games doesn't mean they're not heavily relying on the same IPs over and over again just as Xbox did back in the day.
@KyRo Now you’re contradicting yourself. First you say, PS is releasing the same franchises. But when @Eonjay gave you a list of the new franchises PS is working on, you’re going back to the usual Xbox fanboy talking points, saying they’re just more 3rd person games. Just be quiet man. Also. I wonder if you have the same take about Nintendo because they have been releasing the same franchises for 40 years.
@-Foxtrot Seems like Cory had this planned for years. https://fandomwire.com/it-i...
He also teased it in his IGN interview after GOW 2018 released.
So they were suppose to be working on s New AAA IP something in the scifi genre. Did that get scrapped? They pulled back on LS and refocusing on the platform. Does that also mean less risks in the AAA space and going back to the same ip
"Does that also mean less risks in the AAA space and going back to the same ip"

It was rumors they were doing a game that wasn't GoW at all but a brand new IP entirely.
You're confused. The sci-fi game was being directed by Stig Asmussen after GOW3. They worked on it for 3-4 years until it was canceled and he left the studio.
The science fiction game was scrapped a decade ago. People are getting stuff mixed up. We never had any info what Corey's project actually was.
He said himself "I would love to do something completely different, sci-fi would be fun to explore" We will see what I do, but I wont work on next God Of War".
That was just months after GoW 2018 was released.
So nothing gets ""mixed up". When he said that most of us hoped he would indeed do a sci.fi game to mix things up a little. Sadly Sony seems to have pulled the reins on that.
@Zeke68 Sony have pulled the reigns on nothing there is literally an interview form about 6 years ago where he talks about the fact he has a prequel story he'd like to see told but it has to come after Ragnarok. He even hints at Faye being playable/protagonist. The game won't be called god of war either apparently.
Do you want Nintendo to try something new as well? Because they keep releasing Mario and Zelda. GOW is PS’s biggest franchise. You don’t move on from that.
If it’s fun with a good story I am fine with it. Definitely unexpected but that could end up being a good thing. Only time will tell.
Love' Em. The QTE's in God of War are awesome and there's no beating the ones in Naruto UNS 2
I tolerate (and like!) them for games like GOW, because they allow me to do what the traditional control schemes never would.
But in most situations, the developers could have come up with something much better and creative.
I like the QTE in shenmue was a nice mix without over use.
i remember the 1st qte game I ever played called road avenger on the mega cd. I thought it was the most amazing thing ever! All my friends who were watching couldn't believe that I was actually playing a game. They thought it was just a video running or a FMV sequence.
QTE's are great dpeending on how they are implemented in a game. Some games they are great, but only for the 1st play through. I found it hard playing through Heavy Rain a asecond time, but games like GoW and Shenmue I didn't mind playing a few times over.
