god of war's gameplay is still amazingly fun.

...but ascension proves that the storyline is basically bankrupt. zezus is dead, there's really no where left to go.



i think santa monica should stick to the genre but base it on new IP. a new IP would give them a lot more creative freedom (don't need to cater to any of the existing mechanics simply out of nostalgia) and give them a chance to make something truly spectacular. ..to truly move the genre forward.


that would be amazing. i would love a hack and slash game in an Sci-Fi setting, where monsters/beasts/enemies would all be drived from that alien sci-fi setting. 


yeah, i dunno about the sci-fi setting. 

i mean, i generally love sci-fi.  and science fiction does have the advantage of "anything goes" with respect to mechanics because "its teh fuchar1" and you're not bound to any of the pesky reality.  however, destiny is sci-fi.  titanfall is sci-fi.  killzone is sci-fi.  watch dogs is sci-fi-ish. the order 1887 is victorian but with steampunked sci-fi twists.  i've already come to the conclusion that that gen's "gritty military" is this gen's "sci-fi enhanced".

i'm thinking something more along the lines of witches, vampires, werewolves, and undead.   it might be a bit close to castlevania but that franchise is kind of dead.  deadish at least.  santa monica could do to castlevania what naughty dog did to tomb raider.  steal the genre/setting right out from under them but making it fresh again.
