This is a very interesting observation and I must say I agree.  I was watching the new trailer for GOW not to long ago and a few things stood out to me.  First it doesn't feel like a GOW game.  The gameplay was not appealing to me as it moved away from the combo fun of its roots to this slow slog type of gameplay which is not what I was expecting.  Do not get me wrong the game looks great but as a GOW fan, the change in direction is a huge let down.  I am not sure if I am excited about the new GOW but since I have played them all, I will get it.  I just might not get it day one.

Cory Barlog explained the new direction that he wanted to take the GoW franchise in the PSX Panel. 

The game is called God of War for a reason, it is a reboot.

You should see it!

If you ask me, i think the game looks great, lets see how the critic receive the game in a few months.

Its not the setting I have a problem with its the gameplay.  Just because someone wants to take a game in a different direction does not mean it will be good. I am fine with the art direction as that part of the game looks great but the gameplay that was fun and combo delicious in the previous games now in this reboot looks heavy and slow.  From what I have seen of the combat it does not look fun like the previous installments but I will reserve judgement until the game release.  

While I enjoyed TLOU, I really do not want GOD to be a reskined TLOU.  That would make me very unhappy about this reboot and probably put me off playing it.
