Zelda has never been one though, God of War has always been one.

There will probably be even more weapons that play differently, if you've played any God of War game before.

Its just changing the core gameplay, not moving to a different genre from what I've seen.

 

Every God of War has been one....except for the new one.

 

Are you sure you've seen the trailer from E3?

 

Are you seriously saying the following are the same?

 

and

 

You seriously need to re-watch the E3 trailer in that case. They are not the same.

They are not the same but are you so much against a change? They are reinvigorating the series, but the gameplay for God of War is hack and slash. Watch the fights against the smaller enemies and trolls.

Its nothoing like TLOU, other than you having a younger companion. But it plays very differently and has a different vibe than TLOU.

Can someone explain what hack n slash is as I was certain GOW was hack n slash.

Anyhu, if not GOW, we are getting Nier Automata which seems to be very much hack n slash. I would argue Bloodborne was hack n slash too with some rpg elements thrown in.

I do hope the genre makes a comeback as it was my favourite during the PS2 era. Even the PS3 had some decent hack n slash games although not as many great ones as the PS2. Maybe a new Lollipop Chainsaw.

I don't think Nier Automata will sell well, maybe not even a million. Bloodborne was an RPG with hack and slash gameplay, it had a lot of RPG stuff. Maybe you can class Dark Souls games as hack and slash RPG's, but they have a lot of RPG stuff and RPG's sell well so their sales are not a surprise.
