Will God of War and For Honor cause a resurgence in AAA hack and slash games?

The gameplay had characteristics of hack and slash games - focus on close range combat, usage of weapons, a variety of attacks, variety of enemies.

 

Just like majority of games out there.

 

Variety of enemies - as if that is original, okay then.

The majority of games do not have a focus on close range combat or use weapons for combat, the focus is usually on long range combat and a lot of strategising in most games, and they do not offer a veriety of melee attacks.

Variety of enemies in hack and slash games is far greater than most other genres, previous God of War games each had 30 different types of enemies in a single game. We already saw four types of enemies in a ten minute demo of the new game. That's more than any other God of War game has had in its first ten minutes.
