Just because GoW has a story, doesn't make it TLoU.  That's not what I'm talking about and I have no idea what you're on about with "GoW is inspiration" for anything bollocks.

This game looks and sounds nothing like a GoW game.  Every trailer has this guy named Kratos "being a dad", as if he wasn't a horrible, genocidal, mankind apocalypse bringer.  This guy has a generic axe and does a special move where he... sorta tosses it?  Right, and he can't jump either.  And just for good measure of keeping character continuity, they went ahead and changed his voice too.  Why?  Because this is God of Feels, son.

The main point I'm trying to point at is how much walking around the player does in the trailers.  Walking around, stopping to watch a cutscene of a cliff falling and Kratos just... jumping it.  Instead of letting the player do it, he just sorta does it in the cutscene.  Walking around + babysitting little kid + watching cutscenes of your character do things instead of playing a video game = 10/10 amirite?

Before I go plagiarizing, most of what I'm saying is summarized in a video I completely agree with.  If you take a moment to watch it, you might see what I'm getting at.

He was always a dad......just to be clear. And a husband.....whose family was taken from him by the Gods and the ashes covered his body. I mean that is the reason he went on that rampage to begin with is it not? All because of how much his family meant to him. And yep we saw an axe(which there is nothing wrong with) even though every GOW game has had multiple weapons so not sure why bring that up like it is an issue. And was it confirmed that he can not jump is this game? I am asking because that part I do not know. And there could be a million reasons why his voice was changed.....that just seems as if you are nitpicking just to nitpick lol. And that video you posted is really interesting....I don't agree with it all and that is fine we are free to agree/disagree.

I even understand the TLOU stuff even though it is silly. It looks more story driven.....even though the story has always been a big part of the series so not sure why that is all of a sudden an issue. No zombies but freaking Gods and mythical creatures, flying axes, God like powers and I am almost 100% sure more weapons and magic. I mean outside of being 3rd person, having an adult  and a child traveling and maybe a few set pieces(which we saw in GOW before this one) there is nothing similar between it and TLOU I mean with that argument every game that is 3rd person with a adult and child traveling is TLOUish. Even though you had stealth options. This game looks far more action packed. Even with the LITTLE that they have shown in trailers. I think the change was much needed after what 5 or 6 games including the PSP games.

Question....did you play TLOU and if so did you like it or dislike it?

Agree with you there. Case and point: resident evil. For was a big change that paid off. 5 more of the same. 6 whent to much into call of duty territory and there was big backlash. then 7 brought them back to form.

The key is making changes but keeping faithful to the source material. This change feels good cuz its easily perceived as kratos natural progression, from vengeful  anger, to calm and regretful. Its like people cant imagine that characters are able to change and progress, it happens to us and devs are inmersing us in the experience by showing their characters progress. 

So yea, Im looking forward to this game.
