I am going to play the last of us twice. Once in stealth, the second time guns blazing. I am getting all of them though. God of War comes out first anyway, so its obvious I am getting first.

The Last of Us for me.

I am a huge God of War fan (all three of the main series games are in my top 50) but it's starting to get stale. They've really done everything they can do with Kratos and now they're just milking him for all he's worth and refusing to bring in a new character and setting like the series needs.

Beyond looks great from what we've seen, but what we've seen isn't much. And Quantic Dream is pretty hit and miss for me: I love Heavy Rain, but I'm not really a fan of Indigo Prophecy.

Last of Us, on the other hand: Naughty Dog has been consistently excellent for the last 15 years. I love Uncharted, and it clearly takes some inspiration there. The characters are deep, the setting is interesting, the AI is actually intelligent. I see nothing at all to dislike, and a great deal to love.

I always thought that Ascension was being made to set all that stuff up..

 

I hope Sony only makes 1 God Of War for PS4 and then maybe Santa Monica can Tackle Heavenly Sword to get the franchise to where it needs to be

I don't agree. Heavenly Sword ought to just be left to die; one heavy brooding hack and slash franchise is enough, and God of War is infinitely better.

But it needs to change, and I think Santa Monica could do with a break from the entire genre. Look at Naughty Dog and how they excelled when they tried something a little different.


That's exactly why I want them to tackle heavenly sword. They know what they are doing in that genre. It doesn't have to be on the same level as GOW. It can keep its own identity. They could make 1 GOW and Heavenly Sword then move on to something new.

 

I also hope that Naughty Dog make just 1 Uncharted then move to making 1 Jak & Daxter while the other half of the team do a new game. I just want atleast 1 quality game from each franchise on PS4. 1 quality Parappa The Rapper, 1 quality Uncharted, 1 quality Ape Escape, 1 quality Twisted Metal, 1 quality MediEvil,1 quality Ratchet & Clank etc



Last of Us, because the trailers are amazing.
And Bioshock Infinite, because I enjoy the series.



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

too difficult to choose. im going to buy all of them!!



The Last of Us by far, I love Uncharted and I love survival horror games.

God of War: Ascension easily, I don't even have to see more SP footage to be sure because it's guaranteed to be a masterpiece, I can't wait to see how Kratos transitioned from a normal Spartan warrior to a badass God and I'm looking forward to seeing more of his normal home-life and humanity. It'll be the best game out of those in every way and will almost definitely be my GOTY. And it'll stay in my console a lot longer thanks to the fantastic new MP component, Todd Papy is teasing a horde-like mode which excites me a lot!

I am looking forward to Beyond: Two Souls because I found Heavy Rain surprisingly decent so I'll probably buy that game at a bargain bin price. I couldn't give a damn about The Last of Us as nothing about it excites me, if it gets decent reviews then maybe I'll rent it/ borrow from friend but there's no way I'm giving Naughty Dog my money again after how disappointed I am with Uncharted 3.

If were not talking just PS3 exclusives my top 3 would be: God of War: Ascension, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 and Bioshock Infinite.

Judging by your recent posts, I get the feeling that you don't like Naughty Dog's games. First Uncharted, now TLoU.



I will buy them all, but right now I am more intrigued in GOW: Ascension. I want to see single player info. Hopefully at VGA we will see a story video.



Beyond looks like it will be something unique and that's what excites me the most. Gotta go with that one.



I want to add that if it was God of War IV and not Ascension, basically meaning that they were going to take the story forward (somehow, i dont know fucking how so dont ask xD) then I am pretty damn sure I would be mored hyped for GoWIV than TLOU. TLOU looks fucking awesome but God of War has a special place in my heart whereas TLOU is a new IP. Im just a little bit scared going into Ascension. Feels like maybe they are trying out the MP whereas the SP sounds.. cool and all, but I really am sick of going back to the past. I played GoW1 then 2 then 3. And then Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus. While those arent console games they are still VERY good.

Lets just theoretically say the MP is a hit and miss. That could hurt it a lot.

ND could pull it off with UC2 and UC3. I hope Santa Monica can too.

 

And things just dont get bigger and more bad ass than GoW3.
