God of War Preview: A triumphant return and potentially Sony's game of the generation - DAILY STAR

https://www./tech/gaming/689852/God...ation-game-of-the-year-generation-Cory-Barlog

WOW @ the conclusion:

Conclusion

Visually, the game looks incredible, probably, the best PS4 Pro game we've seen. Which after Uncharted 4, Lost Legacy and Horizon Zero Dawn, feels like quite a feat to achieve, but somehow Sony's first-party studio's just keeping knocking it out the park - this time seemingly into the overflow car park just for good measure
.

Story-wise we're hooked two hours in. Actually, in truth, the boss fight one hour in had us hooked. And yet, we're still utterly clueless to the bigger picture, but dear lord we can't wait to unravel the Norse mythology surrounding this new adventure.

Then there's the combat, which was our biggest worry as a lifelong God of War fan - but it just works, seamlessly, with zero fuss and a book of further opportunities just waiting to be unlocked and exploited.

Has Cory Barlog created a potential game of the year contender? That's as safe as houses.

The better question is, has Cory Barlog created THE best game of the PS4 generation so far? We're starting to think so.

Reading these previews, I'm starting to get hyped. The game is (unsurprisingly) a technical masterclass, but the gameplay looks great as well! I am a touch nervous, however. With the new camera angle God of War enters into the Dark Souls/Bloodborne/Nioh/Monster Hunter space... you had better bring your "A" game there! We've seen a lot of 3rd-person action/RPGs falter in comparison with the giants in that space.

Do any of these address the concerns about not being able to jump? As in if it gets repetitive for them, do they miss it?

The people talking about Ryse so far in here are being sarcastic before loads of you start quoting them.

The last God of War gameplay thread suddenly had a lot of Ryse fans show up to talk about it.

Kratos finally being different isn't a negative at all. Finally, we get some fucking character progression after four or five games as him being the same angry bastard.

I can't remember a single moment during the preview that I thought 'I wish I could jump here' and any moments when I needed to for climbing a chain or anything was just one button press away. So painless I never thought to mention it in preview.

One thing I can't remember. Is this a "new" Kratos or is it Kratos from the ending of GOW3?

This game looks amazing. I need to get off my ass and starting playing and finishing the first three god of war titles.

Won't preorder for the stupid shield skins but will preorder because the game looks fun.

I suggest just watch some YouTube videos for the story of GOW1 & 2 and then play GOW 3 instead, the gameplay and visuals holds up much nicer.

Kratos was already different and at relative peace at the end of GoW3, I feel like people complaining about this did not finish GoW3.
