Forums - Sony Discussion - Let's talk about the new God of War (part 2)

I've been pretty vocal about my distaste for the new direction, but I'm glad for folks who like it! I think this new God of War will complement other story-driven action games on PS4 nicely.

I'm super hyped for this. Maybe his wife is a native norse woman so that's how his soon can understand the native beasts.

Yeah, to me this just screams of a franchise incredibly embarassed by its legacy. I guess it makes sense given the platform, but I think it's a sad state of affairs for GOW.



Im still not 100% sold, but since is GoW, personal favorite series in the Ps, i'll wait till the end. This is the game that could convince me to get a ps4. I think Thor will be the main enemy, since Odin is the main god in the nordic mithology. And Ill guess there will be maybe oone more game in the nordic series. If they go for the trilogy, one can expect loki to be a part in one of them.



It looks fantastic and I like the direction they taking kratos. I just think a bit more live or gameplay footage would have been nicer, I think that's what most people want to see.

It looks good. But not as good as last year. The combat still looks abysmal as ever. Liking the overall direction though. Hated GOW games of the past.



Tough sell without the chain blades. I won't hold my breath.

I always said after ascension if they're going to make a other GOW game it has to be very different and change things or Sony will be guilty of what I always accuse Microsoft of when it comes to letting IP's die.

This was my main concern when it was announced, they are the base of Kratos fighting style.
But I'm liking it with the magic handaxe, it's not as fast as it once was but it's likely making fighting more organic and focused.
Honestly Kratos other weapons were mostly always good as well, the chains are more iconic, but it has been fun fighting with Kratos without them in the greek games as well.

But what if he drops the axe? It's not like it's chained to his arm. Not sure if I'm ready to take that risk.

Huh?

Its hack'n'slash legacy. Not "serious" enough for GOW, now.
