Santa Monica has never been great at narratives, none the less emotional ones. They tried it with the little girl Pandora in Gow3 and failed miserably. Now it seems they gonna attempt it again with Kratos in GOW 4: the last of us edition.

@Pedro: It truly is remarkable. Thanks to all the added polys in his wrinkled face, we can see all types of never before seen emotions. These emotions will help tell us new stories.

Like who is Kratos really? Does he like boys? Does Kratos even like war?

Seriously more movie-games? This is just sad now. Is PS4 more casual than Nintendo systems now?

Gamers hate rehashes but they also hate change. Lol.

Be honest. Is there any need whatsoever for another samey sequel with "RAAR ANGRY KRATOS SMASH"!? 1 and 2 were awesome I thought, and 3 at least had graphics and spectacle, but the handheld and Ascension ones? Eh.

Kratos with a kid sounds weird but that's good to me. Fúck it, let's see how it works. Maybe it'll be unreal. The Last Of Us sure made that work. Other games like Ico, Journey and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time also had brilliant, emotionally affecting companions. Let's go for it. What's the worst that can happen? You press start to skip some cutscenes, and kill things as always. Lol. Let's be positive for once, you miserable bastards :P

The one time they aspired to be more than the game equivalent of a Transformers film, we got Asscencion.

I'm praying they prove me wrong.

I didn't want another one with Kratos at all. I was all in on Norse mythology this time but start from scratch. New protagonist, story, weapons, enemies. This screams that some suit at Sony said "try tap into that TLOU magic, for this".

Well that's nice but almost no series in existence ditches its iconic main characters. It's always always always going to be Kratos in God Of War.

Is playing the Last of Us and thinking "Damn, let's be more like this" such a crazy reaction?

Kratos causing butthurt from all angles I see.

I for one am looking forward to another God of War. Played and enjoyed them all thus far, can't see that changing.

Not a fan of QTE's though.

+1 AMEN !

Also as i said to people who were whining about cinematic games before , we live in a gaming era with so many options in every single genre/sub-genre . Thats means , bypass what you dont like ( TLOU , UC , MGS etc ) and go buy what you like ... Problem solved.

Personally i love cinematic experiences in games let alone emotional ones and to mix one of my favorite hack and slash franchise ever with a deep , emotional story ! Im sold.

Hey dude feel how ever you wish about it. I obviously do not agree. I love GoW games, think the hate 3 and ascension get is crybaby shit.

By all means strive to be as great of a game as TLOU. Don't mimic it though.
