Heh, I don't see the comparison at all, but each to their own I guess.

 

I'm not a GoW fan (haven't played them), so coming without a set perspective of what a god of war game is, I thought it looked great. I have a few friends that are into GoW though, and they seemed very excited to see a change in the formula. Though they are also Dark Souls fans, and this seems a bit Dark Souls-ish, so maybe that's the reason.

Not at all? A grizzled father figure guiding an inexperienced young person through a dangerous wilderness? The scripted sequences? The over-the-shoulder camera? The walking simulation? Stopping to admire the scenery? A young person hunting a deer in the snow?

I dunno. I really think Santa Monica took a page from Naughty Dog here.

For what it's worth, I def got a TLoU vibe with the gameplay.  I see it and wanted to let you know you're not alone.  Not sure that I dislike it, but not sure that I love it either.  

 

I really liked TLoU and really liked GOW 3.  It's like they are trying to make Kratos sentimental.  That was Kratos, right?
