People are acting like giving Game Informer crumbs is unprecedented but the press previews where we found out loads about the first game and really stood to be impressed, didn't arrive until exactly a month before it launched. An E3 demo and some trailers were exciting but there was a fair amount of negativity being spread around with claims that the game was smoke and mirrors, unfavourable comparisons being made to Ryse: Son of Rome, uncertainty that this direction would work for the series, and there was concern about the combat not being as deep as the originals, with no jump button and how can the axe possibly compare to what you could do with the blades? I guess people are choosing not to remember all of that because it ended up being previewed and reviewed as one of the best games ever made.
Yep, there was a ton of negativity before those previews dropped.
Just imagine working on a game for four years and have people on a message board call it an expansion or DLC, based on 1 minute of footage.
Ehhh. I took some pictures back around launch on my base PS4 of a similar section, and it holds up much better than that image of GoW 2018 suggests. I can only imagine it looks even better now on PC.
I am really tired to see people complaining about continuity only in some games.
Well it is still a last gen PS4 game, that will be enhanced for PS5, so it was never going to be a generational leap forward. Hardly something that people should be worried about though, Horizon Forbidden West was the same and the PS5 version is one of the best looking games out right now (especially now they fixed performance mode)
I'd imagine, if i worked on the game, i wouldn't care because i'd figure they wouldn't know better from what has been released. Hell... I work as a statistician in biostatistics and publish papers that the majority of people don't understand. I couldn't care less.
God of War 2018 was one of the best and most engaging games I've ever played, I'm burning so badly for Ragnarok.
Nah. Even with that one teaser Spider-Man 2 has done a great job of teasing its gameplay improvements.
- Miles' new blue colored powers
- Peter's default suit having the spider legs that are now used in combat (and most likely in traversal)
- Co-op take downs between Miles and Peter
Spider-Man 2's teaser trailer is the way you should tease a sequel imo. It gives you some story set up and it also shows how the gameplay will be improved in significant ways without giving you all the details right away.
Good lord Sony just give these people some 2 min footage of Kratos fighting Thor with some epic music in the background so that we can be done with this noise. Hopefully the rest of us can avoid spoilers.
Reading some of the replies makes it seem like they wanted the direct follow on sequel to one of the best reviewed games of last gen to be ANOTHER reboot.
This game almost gets people's panties in a bunch as much as last of us does. It'll be amazing. You don't have to pretend to worry.

Hype is through the roof for this game. Collector's edition pre-ordered, and my wife also pre-ordered me a physical copy to sit in the steelbook. Don't even care. This was always a day one game for me. 2018 was/is one of the finest games I've ever played. I've finished it 5 or 6 times, most recently being a couple of months ago, and I could boot up another play through right now, and it not get old. I'm all in.
It's a direct sequel, looks exactly how I imagined it would be.
Not super excited about it, but might be the best exclusive of the year after all...

Precisely.
Yes I am.
The next God of War will highlight it so obviously.
Geez guys, that latest SoP trailer really was disappointing, the game really looks like a PS4 title.
This is completely baseless and does not make sense at all.
We've literally seen the game. A trailer was just released yesterday that shows the game is not "crippled," as you put it.
lol this thread aged really poorly really quick.
Where's Odin at because some crow needs to be served

Of course it's factually baseless...but is it not reasonable? Do you not think a PS5 only developed God of War would look/feel/be a lot better?
You watch. Sony Santa Monica's next current generation only game will look/feel/be much better than Ragnarök. The advances they can make without considering PS4 will be tremendous.
I think there is quite a noticeable increase in the amount of detail on screen, not to mention that individual details seem quite a bit sharper/higher quality.
Big problem I had with 1 was how the combat just ended up with spamming runic attacks as soon as they were off cool down. And you could have four equipped at endgame. This was easily the most effective way to fight.
Hope combat in this one has more depth and viable strategies than 1.
