Kav Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 This looked great! The camera angle makes it even more visceral... if that was even possible!
DriftKaiser Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 The best bit is with the boy accidentally hurt Kronos during the finishing move XD
Dcubed Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Very impressed with the look of this. GOW so badly needed a complete shake up and it looks like they've delivered. While it takes some clear influences from the likes of Tomb Raider 2013/Uncharted/TLOU, the over the shoulder melee combat is definitely original. How many other games have similar camera views with an emphasis on melee? God Hand is the only one that springs to mind! I just hope that they don't ditch the puzzle solving and exploration elements that made the series so good... They seem to have removed platforming (and the ability to jump all together), but maybe we'll see something of the sort later on... Either way, I'm really glad that they're shaking things up. As much as I loved the first three numbered games, the series is seriously stale at this point. Edited June 14, 2016 by Dcubed
Choze Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 This looked crazy good. We also know based on leaked artwork it gets epic.
Daft Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 It looks like God of War meets the Souls games. I am erect with anticipation.
somme Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Loved that the lead character (new to the franchise so don't know if he's always the lead) was voiced by Chris Judge (Teal'c from SG-1)
Dcubed Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 @Dcubed Over the shoulder melee, Ryse was that way. Oh yeah, you're right. Forgot about that one. It's still very uncommon though and hasn't really been explored much, so it's still a pretty fresh idea
S.C.G Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Well, this is the first God of War game which actually gives me that crucial feeling of anticipation for it and genuinely wanting to play it. Despite owning the remasters of the other games because I got them cheaply, I've only ever played the opening to the original God of War... for this I make no apology either, they just never grabbed me that much. This though? I want to pre-order it.
Blade Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 I've never played the others before. Worth getting God of War 3 remaster?
Dcubed Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 I've never played the others before. Worth getting God of War 3 remaster? Get God of War 1&2 first, then get 3. Ignore the rest unless you REALLY want more... Well, this is the first God of War game which actually gives me that crucial feeling of anticipation for it and genuinely wanting to play it.

This though? I want to pre-order it. You really need to give them a chance. At first glance you might be tempted to write it off as a mindless hack and slasher, but later on it turns out to be more like a linear Zelda game with lots of puzzle solving, platforming and exploration
Cube Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Oh my god! The soundtrack is being done by Bear McCreary! Edit: OK, the first time I don't watch the conference, it opens with him. Edited June 14, 2016 by Cube
Dcubed Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 @Dcubed have these been re-released on the PS4? Sadly not. Only on PS2/PS3 right now.
Hero-of-Time Posted June 14, 2016 Author Posted June 14, 2016 Get God of War 1&2 first, then get 3. Ignore the rest unless you REALLY want more While Ascension can be skipped I wouldn't dismiss Chains of Olympus or Ghost of Sparta so easily. Both are brilliant games and really add to the story, especially Ghost of Sparta.
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 This looked completely fucking awesome and what a way to kick off that conference. Really enjoyed what they showed of this!
DriftKaiser Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 You will still play Kratos most of the time, you can switch to his son for support and puzzles I think.
Deathjam Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 While what I saw was impressive, I must say that I am a bit saddened that the action style I enjoyed from the previous games seems to have disappeared. Doesn't feel like a God of War game to me.

Deathjam Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Who says it wont have the action? It's not the action, it's the style. At the moment, it looks like it will control like Demons/Dark souls (basic but meaningful contact) but with the viewpoint of The Last of Us. Nothing like Devil May Cry which is what the predecessors drew their combat inspiration from.
Cube Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 Apparently they considered doing Egyptian mythology. Which is kind of amusing, as Teal'c (Christopher Judge) is voicing Kratos in this.
Julius Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) The game will be releasing on April 20th 2018, as revealed by this new story trailer: Edited January 23, 2018 by Julius Caesar
Blade Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Will I enjoy and follow the story of this game not having played any of the others?
