I haven't really gotten that impression. Just here on VGC alone, it seems like there were way more Uncharted threads leading up to the release than there are GoW threads now. Perhaps I'm misremembering though

UC4 > Spider man > GOW4

I personally look way more forward to God of War than I ever did to Uncharted 4.

Uncharted 4 always felt to me like a tacked on part to the series, while GOW feels like a fresh start.

Nah. I don't really see people losing their minds over what they've seen like I did with the U4 demo.
In fact, I actually pre-ordered God of War and I'm not even that excited to play it. I'm sure it'll be a great and emotional experience but something is missing.

Uncharted 4 no doubt every trailer generated hype. God of War often meets mixed feelings. Nonetheless I look really forward to it. On hype level it's about the same as Horizon and that game did great.

CGI, can you mention the reasons you think GoW has so much hype?

As for general hype, I think U4 may have exceeded that of GoW, but it’s hard to say. The marketing for GoW leading up to release has been impressive and really well done.

I personally was probably a little more hyped for U4, bc I had such a connection to the series; whereas, I feel nothing for the previous GoW games. But my hype is still huge for GoW due to the direction they’ve taken it.

To be fair, Cory Barlog has fought to ensure very little of GoW was shown. He said he is adamant about nothing being spoiled and described himself as paranoid when it comes to this sort of thing. That’s why it feels like we’ve seen (and know) so little about this game. 

EDIT: Here’s the quote:

I know there are a lot of people who are out there saying, 'It's totally different. They're changing a lot of things. Hashtag Not My God Of War. Hashtag Cancel My Pre-Order,'" Barlog said. "But I think a lot of people have to play it."

He added: "We've been very restrictive of the information and what we're showing visually, and part of that is my paranoia. I want people to experience this game as a whole. Everybody who made this game--or a good portion of this team--has been a part of God of War from the very beginning. Nothing has changed cynically or under pressure or just willy-nilly. All of us put a lot of heart and soul into this game, and the DNA of what this franchise is still pumps through the blood of this game."

Perhaps it's my own disappointment with the new direction of the series, but I feel like the hype levels for Uncharted 4 eclipsed the enthusiasm for GoW pre-launch.

I think everyone watching the previews and demos for Uncharted 4 knew what they were getting: another Uncharted game. Whereas some fans of GoW are a litle wary of what they're getting: another Uncharted game.

As others have said, not even close. Even around here we saw many more threads about U4, even with the GoW release right around the corner. Naturally closer to release a game will jump in hype.
