Looks like Ryse/The Last of Us

I haven't been into God of War since 3 but I definitely know I didnt expect this lol

Not a fan of this direction

 

[Cheesyhobo]

I like Dark Souls, but not every action game has to be Dark Souls.

 

[Asriel]

Might be the first GoW that I won't buy. Feels nothing like a GoW game from gameplay and combat shown.

Sigh. Same. I'm honestly disappointed.

And I wish they'd just dump Kratos already.

 

[Turbowaffles]

I mean, there's some formulas that don't need a lot of changing. Give me a bigger, better God of War III set in Norse mythology with a Kratos that hasn't completely changed, but just give him some more character. Expand on the combat system from Ascension, add more weapon variety, and boom that's all you need. You don't need to completely change everything.

 

[petghost]

this was not very greece-ish...maybe they switching to a scandavian thing?

 

[saunderez]

So that's literally Kratos? That's so weird.

That's what I'm thinking....if they wanted to do vikings why not do Odin or one of his sons.

 

[Majukun]

that was ..kinda bad

not a god of war at all,and the gameplay has been reduced with something so generic and average ...yeah it looks pretty,but ,that's it.

 

[nailbombxx]

I like Dark Souls, but not every action game has to be Dark Souls.

Good then that this looks nothing like Dark Souls.

Yup.

 

[Skux]

Incredible. Exactly what the series needed. A new beginning.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Yeah, I'm all for change, but making GoW more like Dark Souls is not the type of change I want.

So that's literally Kratos? That's so weird.

That's the only logical reason why they'd still call it "Spartan Rage".

 

[Moosichu]

He's just older and this is after GoW 3.

This.

When the camera pulls away to show everything is flooded, it's to show that this is a direct sequel to GoW 3.

Looks amazing.

 

[chrisPjelly]

It's... an interesting take on the God of War franchise. Some of you guys are being unfair to the combat system, I feel like there's a looot more to it than what we see. HUGE LOL at them trying to make Kratos more likeable by making him Joel, and in the process, they make him look like a bigger asshole.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Incredible. Exactly what the series needed. A new beginning.

Same ole Kratos though

 

[GIANKRATOS]

 

[professor denim]

Didnt like it. looked like God of Us

 

[ironcreed]

Looks mind-boggling. They could not be doing anything better with the series for me than this. Kratos is a god damn VIKING and will be in a world of dark as hell Norse mythology.

 

[xviper]

this looks amazing, but it's not god of war

 

[orioto]

Every damn game has to be oscar worthy and philosophic now

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

Rather liked what I saw of the game so far. It is a departure from prior games but that is fine with me. As long as the game is fun I will have no complaints.

 

[hipsterpants]

I can't wait to play God of The Last of Us of War. Now with XP!

 

[Dalek]

This blew me away-looks completely fresh for the series. I was going to be bored out of my mind if they were doing the same setting and characters again.

 

[maximum360]

Might be the first GoW i'll buy

.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Kratos is likeable now.

 

[knkng]

I really don't mind if they want to change up the play style, but this seems a bit too much on the scripted side for my liking. Will definitely still play it once I get a PS4 (probably once the new console releases).

 

[Kodaman]

Kratos will sooo die in this game

 

[ironcreed]

this looks amazing, but it's not god of war

Sure it is. Just a new one with a different direction vs the same old shit.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

This is exactly what the series needed. I loved what I saw.

 

[Frillen]

I'm finally interested in a God of War game. Looked amazing and more my cup of tea.

 

[Zakard]

Looked incredible. Music was fantastic too.

 

[NYR]

Sony Santa Monica confirmed the following on YouTube with Geoff a moment ago:

- Kratos is the main character, play as him all game
- Not open world game
- Norse mythology timeline
- coming out..."soon", definitely not a 2016 game

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

So long as they aren't building up for the kid to take over for Kratos in the next game, I'm excited.

 

[knkng]

Kratos will sooo die in this game

Dev just said you play as Kratos for the whole game (post-show interview).

 

[Angry Fork]

GOW did need some kind of a change of formula but I'm not really interested in this. Too realistic, too much focus on emotion. I'm sure it'll be great for what it's going for but it's just not for me.

 

[LAM09]

It's definitely different. Not a huge fan of the new direction.

 

[Conduit]

People wanted something different God Of War. Oh well.

 

[Fardeen]

is that kratos??? he looks so calm lol

 

[Akiraptor]

This will be the first God of War for me. Looks amazing.

 

[Faynwulf]

All these people saying they're not interested because they are trying something else. You just know that people would also be pissed if it would be the usual formula.

I don't care. Looks really good. Especially because it looks like there will be a bigger emphasis on Story.

 

[En-ou]

gotta love the polar responses from neogaf..."that looks amazing", "that looks like ass".

 

[Tuck]

That... did not look like the GoW I know (and don't like).

Suddenly interested.

 

[TI82]

So long as they aren't building up for the kid to take over for Kratos in the next game, I'm excited.

On the poster we got from the event the kids silhouette is next to ratchet and clanks. so yeah, based off that and the gameplay we are going to be in a MGS 2 raiden situation. Start as kratos and transition to kratos junior.

 

[Evo X]

Cory just said the game is releasing soon on the stream!

Not this year, but could be Q1 2017.

 

[Asriel]

Sony Santa Moncia confirmed the following. I. YouTube with Geoff a moment ago:

- Kratos is the main character, play as him all game
- not open world
- Nirse mythology timeline

Ugh. I like the Norse mythology, but the Ryse-esque gameplay is maddening.

 

[War Eagle]

Calling it now: That was a very early part of the game. Kratos will die early on and then a flash forward where his son is grown up and the new main character.

EDIT: Well fuck.

[Kyrios]

I rolled my eyes at the idea of another God of War, was extremely please with what I saw and it's on my radar now. Demo went a bit too long though.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

I like Dark Souls, but not every action game has to be Dark Souls.

Is Dark Souls the only melee combat game you've played? Otherwise I don't know why you'd say that.

 

[Sinistral]

The Last of the Skyrim Souls... Don't know if I want. This gen is lacking combo-action games.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Please tell me we play as the son grown up? I'm tired of Kratos. *duck*

Looks good though.

And not 4? I guess they are rebooting it or something.

 

[ironcreed]

is that kratos??? he looks so calm lol

Wait until he takes on the likes of Loki, Fenrir, Odin and Thor.
