Look! Someone has played the game. Get ready to eat some serious crow, from judging the whole game, by seeing a sliver of an enormous pie.

God Of War new exclusive gameplay footage!
- Thread starter Gravity Insanity
- Start date
I can see why it got cancelled, being too similar to their other projects. Sucks for his team though.
Probably.
But watching your Internet tough guy act is pretty amusing, so please, carry on!
Alright. Back to civil discussion and the topic at hand...
This ×1000! The previous games had interesting bosses with unique personalities. I'm sure there's more to it than this, but it sure seems like Monster Hunter with your son and your on and off again girlfriend.
If Sony are choosing to show gameplay not representative of the full game, that's on them.
So you've seen more gameplay than been revealed right, to make the claim it not representative? Please tell us about it.
The Ascension reveal was very representative.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Boy am I glad that never came to fruition, especially with how this new GOW has shaped up.
Sure thing.
Though I really wish this topic was as "civil" as you're suggesting it was.
we're all still waiting for SallionDan to back up a single one of his posts with some kind of substance
Did they have a team concurrently working on a new GoW along with the new IP (Darkside)? Or did development on GoW start after its cancellation?
It's been mentioned several times that the game's lengthy. The trailers show tons of locals untouched in the gameplay demo. We've seen one weapon type, and zero summons or magic. Patience is a virtue, snarkiness...not so much. It's okay to admit you could be wrong, or may be jumping the gun.
There were 2 teams at the time
-Todd Papy and his team working on Acension.
-Stig Amussen and his team working on the new IP.
Funny how that works.
"Doesn't look good" "It's just a slither of gameplay, you cannot judge"
"Looks amazing" "Yeah best thing ever!!!!"
According to a reddit post, there were 3 teams at the time; New IP, GoW Ascension, and Cory' GoW team. Obviously, in different stages of production as Cory's GoW didn't start development until 2013.
Interesting. So even if their new IP did launch and became a hit like Horizon we still would have gotten a new God of War game since they were already working on one.
Pre-God of War, what do we consider the premium 'Northern Mythology' games currently on the market?
There's a few close in terms of tone/spirit like Skyrim but anything actually set in the mythology?

Of course not! Only if it's a quality product and this new GOW seems to be.
I don't limit myself and I welcome change when it's evidently needed.
Fuck me, ascenaion had such a fantastic combat mechanics. I watched it all :(
Yep, I think the only difference would've been release year, while some people were laid off some moved over to this project. So, it's likely the cancellation lead to this coming out earlier.
Or I'm completely wrong, as I don't know the internal structure of SSM.
Watching it again, I like what they are trying to go for, but I think Kratos movement and animations hold it back for me a bit.
Like the way he slides across the ground when attacking to match the position of the enemies, and a lot of his attacks feel speed up almost, and combined with the hit reactions make some of the combos look weaker then they should.
Like his dodge roll seems very quick to the point it's kinda goofy looking.
Interested to see what new types of attacks and weapons he gets.
Right now, the telekenitic axe is the most interesting aspect of the game.

People can't say that what they saw from the video looks great? I'm pretty sure no one is saying this is the best game ever, but you seem to easily dismiss the whole game as generic or whatever fairly easy with this small glimpse of the beginning of the game.
Also, where's the examples of games thats just like GoW? Should be easy as apparently "90% of all AAA games with melee combat" looks like this game.
Thanks, I wanted to mention this but couldn't remember the details or where to find it. I'm sure at least one of those has to be sequel to this game.Good time to bring this up again:
Says you. I'm not so sure myself.
And how exactly was change "evidently needed?"
Yeah I agree this probably would have released later if the new IP panned out. My earlier presumption was that after the new IP was cancelled SSM decided to do something more "safe" and go back to GoW. But if they really did already have a team (however small) working on a new one then that point isn't true.
Seems like an easier, more brutal, kind of derpier version of dark souls combat mechanics. Even down to the R1 R2 light heavy button mappings. Dark Souls for the dude bro.
Cory already stated that these trolls are NOT bosses:
Time stamp included.
Because GoW:A got underwhelming sales and most critics and fans, like many of us in this thread, thought the series had ran its course if they weren't gonna change it up after 6 games which ultimately both SSM and Sony thought too and did.
