You do understand videogames have story too, right?

Just because God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn and The Last of Us have big budget graphics, it does not mean they are equal. Actually, they are COMPLETELY different genres.

You have Knack, The Last Guardian, Ratchet & Clank, Detroit, PlayLink, Uncharted and GT Sports. Hm... What was equal again?

I'd rather have games like Jak, Sly, and Ratchet than these movie games. Really wish Sony would focus more on gameplay that cutting edge graphics.

You should direct that at Jim Ryan not me, he's the one saying the GOW narrative direction is because of Sony's new world wide direction and he was the one who  came out with the Europe v NA  narrative bias ,If the changes are driven internally  thats great and fit's into my way of thinking ,but that's not how Ryan is portraying it.

My only worry with Corey and it's only small , I don't mind a coming of age tale especially one that look's like the person coming of age isn't just the son but Kratos aswell , my concern is you have to be carefull that you don't over project yourself into the story.  

The poll needs a both question.

You're right. It won't change anything but I enjoy a good chat.

Thank you, I already do this. I buy games I want and don't buy games I don't want.

I'll take your advice into consideration. Thanks.

You're right that previous God of War titles were third person but this new one positions the camera behind Kratos's back and looks over his shoulder similar to TLoU. The old ones featured a semi-fixed camera and didn't feature a kid following you around.

None of the examples you listed featured a parent-child relationship: TLoU and GoW4 do.

Depends on the game, the scene, and what the dev is trying to convey.

Did someone call it a flaw?

This is so true, ive seen almost every head of each studio say that Sony gives them all the creative freedom they need.

The guys behind Days Gone (studio Bend) said in an interview a year ago, that they reason they are making Days Gone is because that what they wanted to make and that Sony has given them all the time to make that dream true.

Naughty Dog also spoke about that in old interview before TLOU came out.

The whole reason Guerrilla Games did Horizon was because that was what they wanted to do, Hermen Hulst (the head of the studio) asked the other members of GG to pitch ideas of games to him and along with other higher ups of the studio they picked the one idea that looked the most promising and that was Horizon.

And finally i remember reading something similar about team ICO the guys behind Shadow of the Collosus, i just dont remember if it was on an interview or one of the dev videos about SOTC.

You stabbed yourself there and kind of lost the argument by basically saying that those moments are rendered cutscenes that still give you some degree of control... when in reality they are not cutscenes in any sort of way.

Those are just the downtime moments in games when you stop killing enemies for once and take your time to explore, gather weapons or ammo, find secrets, read notes, craft, improve gear, and literally do anything else that isnt killing enemies, and having your characters talk to each other between those moments only makes them more entertaining and enjoyable, in no way does that take away from the gameplay and obviously in no way does it turn it into any sort of cutscene.

Isn't this site a primarily Nintendo site? Shouldn't be really surprised then.

It more likely to do with the fact theres no both, just  a yes or no and those who like to play  both are then more likely to vote no.

Wow, thanks a lot Europe.

Keep it up Sony. Your mature audience awaits.
