Doesn't need to be GOW to have similar gameplay and premise. It does need Kratos to be GOW. The type of characters that have been suggested as replacements would simply result in a game that would be GOW in name only. It needs Kratos ripping and banging everything in sight, otherwise gtfo. I find it odd you'd say that though. Gameplay is exactly where GOW feels the most outdated today, it shows PS2 era roots (for better and for worse). Combat is the area Santa monica needs to focus on improving with this next game, not the protag that fita the IP like a glove. |
I'd definitely like to see it evolve in terms of combat, but that wasn't the topic of conversation so I didn't want to bring it up lol
God of War is a title/moniker and within every mythology a different God fills that title. The series isn't named Kratos' Adventure, but I won't argue with opinion if people feel like he "makes" the series. I will however argue that just because he fits it well, doesn't mean that other creations can't. Especially when unlike Link or Mario, Kratos is actually a fleshed out character with motive and a Narrative arc, one which has ended (with 3) and gone beyond its original intention and purpose.
