Meh. I was basically done with God of War after the third one. I played Ascension but at that point I was just going through the motions. Nothing that I’ve seen of this new game has rekindled any interest in the franchise for me, will be passing on the game myself.

First thoughts - Why did the mother want the 2 loved people in her life to bury her ashes in a insanely super dangerous land? Maybe she knows Kratos needs to tell the son the truth, let the boys full abilities come out or something. If this doesn't happen then from the beginning to the end of the game I will call Bullcrap.

Second thoughts - love the look, the voice acting seems really solid throughout that trailer, locations seem varied, seems like old psycho Kratos comes out a bit when his son is in danger.

It's a game id buy if I owned a Ps4 (but if my first thoughts happen then screw this game), congrats on the game Playstation fans.

LOL what have they done to God of War.

Sony's first party diversity is going out the window - all their games look the same now

@ConanTheStoner: Changing the identity and gameplay of an established franchise like God of War is a risk. However, the new form the series now takes and how accommodating and familiar it is to the PS4's core audience doesn't seem like a risky change.

Yeah, that's pretty much my take on it. If they were transforming GoW to something truly unique and untested, I'd say it's a risk. But this seems to be extra safe if anything, something that will likely have even more widespread appeal.

When I read risk, I assume we're talking a commercial risk. And really, I just see no chance of this game underperforming due to these changes.

@jumpaction said:

Naturally. There will always be fans displeased with any sequel, especially one that makes sweeping changes to the core approach of the game. I don't even consider myself a fan of these games and I'm already displeased with what's been shown so far.

I just don't see those guys having a huge enough sway to really say it's a risky move.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being the best selling GoW game to date.

@ConanTheStoner: That's a possibility. As you said, it's moving into more accessible territory by the looks of it.

Are you going to try the game when it comes out?

I'm reading a couple of comments and I'm laughing my ass off at comments such as "PC Master Wait", "PC gamers are crying now", "pc player be like.... 'come on sony, pc can use a controller too and we can withstand any condition that ps4 can offer, or make it better'", "Name me one AAA game for PC that isn't 3rd party or indie" etc etc. They sure seem to love attacking us. Funny thing is I've only seen one comment of a guy asking if the game will get a PC release yet, the PS4 crowd is trying to throw shots at us as if we're Xbox.

@jumpaction:

Honestly Jump bro? Most likely not haha.

I really need to see more gameplay first. I saw glimpses of potential in some of the combat shown, but most of it was a turn off tbh. I would love to be proven wrong and find out this game has a bitchin combat system though.

As of now, the only thing I find appealing is just how damn good it looks visually.

@ConanTheStoner: The impression I got is they are going for more of an experience than a traditional action game. It does look very good visually for sure!

Like yourself, I'd loved to be proven wrong but it doesn't like like my cup of tea. The game releases on the 20th of April. Hopefully those looking forward to it have a good time. :)

Knowing Stoner, he probably won't. Maybe when the game is at a lower budget to pick up later on.

@davillain-: It's fair. From the footage we have seen, it's hard to get an idea of how the combat will play out and Conan is all about his action games having strong combat.

@ConanTheStoner: Haha. It's the same release date as Nintedo's Labo which must be an ode to the drugs the guys were smoking when they came up with that idea. :P

@davillain-: You're going to pick it up for sure then? Are you a fan of the other God of War games?

The series needed a change for sure but this does appears to be sony's safety net. This can also be risky as the thing it aims fore better be good, cause everything else will be under scrutiny more so than before. I'm looking forward to it.

@jumpaction: I played just about all the God of War games. But in God of War 3, I was so sick of Kratos being angry all the damn time, all he thinks of nothing but killing Zeus and when he got what he wanted, he felt nothing but emptiness. Kratos used to be a Father and was married in the first game but in this new game, I'm glad to see him be a Father again and having a Son around means, Kratos has feelings and emotion is all I want for Kratos to get me to like him even more as a character.

So yeah, this is a straight day one purchase.

@PCgameruk: There's no jumping, and it is hack and slash. TLOU and Uncharted were more stealth based games. The flow of play looks different than them also(much improved). Only comparison I can see is that annoying kid and Ellie(not annoying). Both games require their help, and neither can die while in battle(As Kratos or Joel).

Its everything wrong with gaming on PS4, trying so hard to make games feel like a movie. Boring slow gameplay followed by a cutscene, followed by some climbing, then another cutscene. Days Gone looks no different boring TLOU mod.

RIP God of War @60fps

There are far more people who enjoy movie games than action games. Gamers today are predominately casuals.

People don't understand that PC gamers could buy a console if they wanted to (the thing is just $200). The reason I don't is because the games don't appeal to me. ~10 hour long interactive movies/walking simulators don't appeal to me. The few that are available on PC, I don't touch with a 10 foot pole. These are the primary games on the PS4, so I have zero interest in owning the console.

The only console I own this gen is the Switch as it features actual video games.

It's really sad what "gaming" has turned into on Sony consoles.

Cows love to trash the X1 for not having games, but the PS4 doesn't have games either. It has interactive movies. As a gamer, I have zero interest in that junk.

Bloodborne, Uncharted, The Last of Us, Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, The Best HDR Support, the best Atmos Support, and multiplats that are better than 95% of PC Gamers experience.

Consoles are what gaming is all about, PC is a 2nd rate pretender

@UssjTrunks: There's nothing wrong with that, of course. As long as there is something for everyone. Certainly the PS4 has an audience for more casual, story-driven and cinematic games. The PS4 has a lot of variety too. There are not only games that bridge the gap between casual and core players but also games that have a devoted core audience in mind like Nioh, Guilty Gear Xrd and Bloodborne.
