Let's see that gore...
Honestly it's so tame and hardly noticeable. I guess they were really just talking about the activated finishers. If there weren't crazy weapon effects going off on every hit, you would think you're basically smacking paper with your axe/blades.

Sounds like they really took the (deserved) criticism of the lack of enemy variety to heart. Good.

The video is good, but I think it's weird to not include the combat designers of the game. Why they are the animators and VFX artists are talking about combat intention? Probably they are all white dudes - it's a mystery.
Anyways, combat feels the same as GOW 2018 and that's good. I do prefer the previous treatment of Kratos - he was a pure rage. In GOW'18 he is telling to Atreus "Stay calm. Control your emotions" in the cinematic and releases the spartan rage in gameplay the next second.

It's pretty obvious the game will have a toggle to have more or less gore and these trailers have that gore off...probably so that these videos can be for everyone, dunno.
edit: just watched the video. this game has so much more verticality than the last one...seriously! The Blades of Chaos have some nice cool moves as well!

They really seem to have improved all main problems of the first game by adding more verticality and more ennemy variety. Contrary to Guerrilla with Horizon 2 they actually listened to players complaints which is awesome.

Clearly this game will suck.
Look at all the diversity on the dev team.

Nop. They have like 9 videos of these lined up. The first one came out last week. Each video has around 10 minutes. That's 90 minutes of content. No way it was supposed to be a State of Play.

Yeah, it's 2022 and devs still don't understand how semi-real time wounds when you hit something add to how visceral the game look.
You would think that a god of war game should be like the leader in this type of stuff (other than tlou 2)
Why the fuck very few games have this?? Is it so hard to implement?
The finishers look great tho.

A gore toggle is not obvious at all. No god of war game has ever had a toggle has it?
It’s a mature rated game why would they tone the gore down for trailers? The violence was part of kratos’ identity in the old games. It’s expected at this point.

I thought 2018 had that? But maybe i'm wrong here.
Well most previews talk about how the gore is there...so we just gotta wait and play the game.

The game will presumably be rated M, so I don't think this really makes much sense. I think the game is just not particularly gory outside of the scripted finishers. I'm not too upset because everything else about the game sounds great, but I do wish they would have upped the gore from the last one.

The person quoted in the picture isnt in the video so this feels like just leaking someone’s identity to the masses. Maybe not everyone wants that

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I generally refrain from commenting on how people look or whatever... but she was definitely in the video. Hard to miss, which was the point.
