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.

TGBS is a known God of War hater. He has always disliked every game in the series now he finds a way to spread hatred and misinformation for the upcoming game too. Any credit I gave you, I take it back immediately. If you agree with him, as it seems you do, you're totally oblivious to what God of War has stood for as a series upto this point and I doubt anything Santa Monica ever does will please you as you'll find a way to hate on it.
The reason I call him a hater rather than a critic is because of his fanboyish nature. He criticises every aspect of God of War whether good or bad. He loves Devil May Cry I get it but he's also oblivious to the cons in the Devil May Cry games as well and ignores just in how many ways God of War games surpass them in quality. There is a reason Devil May Cry is appealing to only particular tastes despite having great combat, its because every other aspect of the first 2 Devil May Cry games is crap. God of War gives good combat mechanics in a package that feels competent or grand in other senses too while Devil May Cry as much as I like it is a very one note series of games especially before Devil May Cry 3.
This guy also had the galls to call the Ratchet and Clank reboot as a disappointment. He has no taste. I will give him praise for his spoken skills, that's probably the reason he has such a following because his arguments have no objectivity.
