It would be quite ironic if Sony gaming division ended like Sega,though.

One question for you Oscar,could Sony Playstation division survive on its own(like Nintendo)?

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.

Quote from: Brobzoid on April 15, 2012, 10:24:00 AM

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.

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.

Haha yeah both franchises kinda ran out of steam... there is no hype for either Gears 4 or God of War 4. I predict the same will be true for AC4 if it is still targetted for this gen.

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!
