God of War 3 had an awful narrative, and given the ending, any sequel to the story is going to be idiotic.

depends on how safe they want to play it.  I liked the nonsensical ideas Jaffe talked about because at least it would've been entertaining.

or "What God of War 4 could learn from Saint's Row The Third" - IGN.com

I still haven't played Ghost of Sparta.  I'm not too excited for GoW4 unless it's different.

I think it depends totally on the setting/timeline.

If it's a direct sequel featuring Kratos after the end of GoW III...oh boy, that's a recipe for disaster.  If it's about his brother from Chains doing some side adventure between GoW1-3, it could be fine.

I think the best way they could do it is to reboot GoW with an alternative universe storyline with a different set of mythology.  Still about ANGRY DUDE KRATOS OFF TO KILL THE GODS, but instead he's a Viking or some shit and fighting those gods.

So disappointing.  If it was going to be another spinoff story between GoW1-2 it should have been a Vita game at least.


next REAL God of War game needed to either be a reboot with Kratos in a different mythology (Viking Kratos vs. Norse Gods) or in the future modern warfare fighting terrorists or something different.


Who are going to be the gods you fight in this one for the epic boss fights?  They covered almost all of them from Greek Mythos.

This is true and it will probably be fun to play and look cool, but there's just no story left to tell and the story, while shitty, is what makes GoW more interesting than say...Final Fight.  It gives a cool setting and some purpose to all the action. 

It just feels like if the game had a full 2 year dev cycle with an AAA team, it should have been something more interesting than another prequel.

Unless this isn't by Santa Monica Studios and they're working on the real GoW4 for PS4 and this is an ODST, between game.

I'm actually thinking...what if this is a remake/re-imagining of GoW1?  Bigger scope, more epic graphics.  Basically re-writing Kratos' origin story in a reboot-style.  It's not like that kind of stuff hasn't been done before in gaming.

Yeah, hopefully they clear this up tomorrow instead of letting it sit with vague ambiguities until E3.

If it is a remake of GoW1 with some sort of multiplayer component (you know it's going to have MP, it's the only Sony franchise without it really) and a slightly different take on the origin story I wouldn't be that against it.  Mainly because I really don't like GoW1 that much.  It's definitely the least "epic" of the 3 main games and some of the spots are super annoying.

Especially in my single player games.


But you are deluding yourself if you don't think GoW games will start having MP modes.  It's impossible to release a major IP anymore on consoles without a MP mode.  Everyone wants the online pass money and everyone wants the "keep them from selling it to the used game market" money.  MP was shoehorned into Resident Evil, shoehorned into Uncharted, it was shoehorned into Assassin's Creed.  I will be very surprised if GoW doesn't get online.  Same with the Tomb Raider reboot.

I never really understood this.  By this logic all Ninja Gaiden games, Devil May Cry games, Mario games, Megaman games, Zelda games, etc... are all the same.

Yes, you run through stages beating up dudes, solving puzzles, platforming and fighting bosses and then getting new powers from each defeated boss.


However in each game you get different weapons, go to different settings, fight different enemy types with different patterns.  They have different stories, etc, etc... the combat engine is pretty decent these days, and the pacing/level design/boss design tends to be really good.  It also tends to look freaking amazing and have good soundtracks.  They're good games, though GoW3 story was balls.

I agree with this.

But I think the combat is solid for a beat em up like Rygar, Streets of Rage, Final Fight, TMNT.  You have parries, juggles, crowd control, combos, weapon switching mid-combo, throws, dodges, etc...

Combined with enemies with decent patterns and some real challenge on the higher difficulties.

It's not as high-level combo play as the fighting action game genre like DMC/NG, but it's very solid and satisfying combat.

No, the last couple years of a *successful* console's life are when it has the strongest fall lineups.  For 3rd place machines, it's when things almost totally dry up because the first party has most of their teams developing for the next console so as to avoid coming in third place again.

I think you're right.

But I also think the lololsony part of your comment is off because that doesn't explain why the Wii has had weak lineups for years, and why the X360 had a terrible lineup last fall and this fall is Halo4 because outside of Halo4 it's just kinect stuff.

Seems like everything 1st party has been drying up in prep for next gen but next gen is still really really far away, so it's kind of hmmmm...

Sorbo Hercules

As a fan of Hercules: TLJ, I thought it was kinda neat that they had Kevin Sorbo to play GoW's version of Hercules. It's a shame that he was completely inappropriate for the character.

Though oddly enough, the GoW version was the more mythologically accurate representation of Hercules. :lol

is it still gonna be greek gods? I thought kratos killed all of them. titans too?

The norse pantheon is both cool and popular enough with the kids that they could get away with making a god of war game with them. I don't want more greek stuff.

the sphinx idea sounds cool.

disclaimer: I only played the first god of war.

Ugh, I hope they don't mix and match with other mythologies. When Hercules: TLJ started doing that, that's when I stopped watching. Course, it doesn't help that the later seasons were horrendously written, produced, and directed either.

Alright demi, you win.

Spring 2013, no multiplayer included.


Nevermind then, multiplayer GoW as expected  :'(

Yeah, SP only AAA games are dead.  Did anyone even play Dead Space 2 multiplayer?  So many wasted resources on adding pointless MP modes that die in 2 weeks to these story-driven SP games.

Is the new Tomb Raider going to have MP modes?  Because that's really the only AAA budget series I can think of that is still SP only (outside Guardian of Light which was a spinoff and good).

Sometimes it works well.  Uncharted 2 and 3 have good MP modes.

It's funny that both series 'ended' with the third entry and then they went "ah fuck it let's pretend these guys had adventures in the past" to dump out another game.  Actually, they already did that twice before with the GoW PSP games, and once with the Gears DLC.  We're a game or two away from Kratos or whoeveringears waking up at the end and realize it was all a dream.

By your logic, this is God of War 6.

God of War, God of War 2, God of War 3, God of War 4 (Chains of Olympus), God of War 5 (Ghost of Sparta), God of War 6 (Ascension)

They really need to get someone who can expand on Jaffe's design for GoW1.  If not expand, then at least refine what's there...its been about 10 years.  And just last week, a western team put out another action game that falls in the "it's not japanese, but it's kinda mindless fun" action game category, so it's not impossible! 

but I'm guessing the sales data precludes any need for innovation, considering it hasn't changed at all, aside from graphics.

Quote
In Trial of the Gods, the first two-player God of War co-op time trial mode, you and a friend will tag-team with your Champions to face five increasingly hard waves of mythological beasts, whilst surviving against the hourglass of Olympus.

Over 15 types of enemies await you, including Satyrs, Cerberuses, Cyclopes, Gorgons, Juggernauts, and more deadly creatures. You will start with a set amount of time on the clock, and win time back with every beast you slay. Decimate a wave and you will be granted a Bonus Time Tiered Award (gold, silver, or bronze) based on how fast you cleared the wave. If you die or run out of time, you’ll have to start over again. If you reach the end of the fifth round, an epic boss awaits.

At launch, Trial of the Gods will be available in the following maps: Desert of Lost Souls, Forum of Hercules, and Rotunda of Olympus, with more arenas planned for later!

With Trial of the Gods, we wanted to help bridge the single player and multiplayer experience, giving players a chance to work on their skill-set and gain valuable experience points with a friend, before jumping into the competitive arena. Playing Trial of the Gods is also a great way to grind some extra experience between competitive games, test newly acquired weapons and abilities, or even try a new allegiance. Any experience gained in Trial of the Gods will go towards upgrading your Champions across the entire multiplayer experience.

What happens if you don’t have a friend to play co-op with, or you don’t want to team up with a stranger? No worries — you can play Trial of the Gods solo too!

Honestly, as a big fan of the series whose enjoyed each entry and only really dislikes 3 (But still appreciates the gorgeous art/visuals), the reviews make it sound like if I play it on easy and run through it, it'll be a nice pretty 6-8 hour action adventure with a stupid story that I can ignore and great visuals/art + enjoyable combat.

If I rented games, this would be a perfect rental.  But since I don't, I'll pick it up when it's cheap and do exactly that. 


Almost all the good reviews I read said the worst part besides it just being "more of the same" was that it was frustratingly difficult because of shitty camera parts and a final section that makes you want to drill a hole in your brain.  Hopefully easy mode will solve those problems.  Plus if it makes the enemies less grindy...sounds like a better game!

It's not button mashing their complaining about.  More that things don't chain anymore and anytime you try to do combos you'll get interrupted so you just have to poke and dodge, poke and dodge the whole game.  Some guy said to beat the final "so difficult reviewers gave up" part on hard mode you have to turtle the entire time through it. 

Just sounds...not fun.

So I got this for "free" after trading in some used stuff.. thanks ebgames.

It's harder than GoW3. Your movelist is limited unless you raise your rage bar to full by hitting while not taking damage. Block/parry are no longer the same button so you can't spam block while hoping for a free parry. Enemies are more aggressive and mid-late game you can't grab anything without breaking its armor first. I'm used to quick hits followed by dodge or block after playing the tougher action combat games (Bayo, NG Black, MGR, etc.) so combat feels pretty natural to me.

There are still ways around direct combat like using magic, artifacts, upgraded attacks, etc.

Overall I think it's a pretty good game that improves on the original mechanics, although as Bebpo noted, most players are not pleased with the changes. Not being able to mash block to get free parries? Learning parry timing in a God of War game? Magic and artifacts being merely useful rather than "iwin" buttons? Perish the thought.

seeing the aggregated reviews on gaf, sounds like the single player campaign is closer to the first one, focused on tighter arena battles rather than memorable setpieces, and designed for replaying/co-op.  that's listed as a negative some places (see below) but it sounds interesting to me.  multiplayer only has four maps or something, according to one of the giantbomb guys.  apparently the game has some sketchy free2play-isms, too; don't know what that's all about.
