God Of War E3 2016 trailer gameplay, not open world, all Kratos, 2017

What happened today? FF15, Scalebound and now this- is no one capable of making competent looking action games anymore?
 
Completely caught me off guard. I was expecting a new beat'em all God of War, but this?

Nicely done Sony! Good luck Santa Monica, I'm sure there's still a lot to be done.

It's pretty sweet that GoW lives on, as well as Kratos, and is reinvented.
 
The camera is bad, the combat looks really darn junky. Cool that they are finally going for a new mithology, and making Kratos less of a "SUPER CRAZY ANGRY HULK HURR DURR", but the gameplay doesn't really look too hot.


i saw it coming.

i think it looks mind blowing. finally a fresh feeling GoW game, and with a kratos (?) with some fucking character and depth for once.

That part is good, it's just that the gameplay looks really bad for a action game.
 
More interested in this then any other God of War game. Respect the ballsy move, I would become actually interested if Kratos wasn't the MC because he's terrible.
 
I'm REALLY excited for this one. I loved God of War but I thought the franchise grew stale over the years. This is exactly the type of game I wanted to play.

Hope the writing itself doesn't derail. Writing wise, the series I think is very much with merit, but at the same time very easy to criticize. Kratos just became a one note douche bag after the first game, but I can't deny just how well done their scope is. Hope they really add dimensions of character that was sorely lacking throughout the series.
 
Kind of reminded me of Ryse Son of Rome. Wasnt expecting God of War to look like that. I liked Ryse though, so maybe ill like this even though i didnt like the first three games.
 
This is exactly what God of War needed. A completely new direction. People wanting the same old shit are insane.
