And no, being beloved in not a subjective opinion, ellie was one of the most beloved videogame character in the past 10 years, no doubt about it.

this you lol

classic....

The rest of your post was an easy ignore. I'm sure you love them Gym, that doesn't make any of that a fact man. They can change the IP, they have the freedom to, they have the history of allowing it. No mater how much you love either characters or something and I doubt the very literal foreshadowing in GOW 2018 is nothing.

Have a good one.

Yeah ignore me and go watch some sify channel so you can find other bullshit narratives for our next discussion, have a nice one yourself.

Fredrik Fredrik nahhh I don't know about all that. Even the title God Of War was given to him from someone he killed......hint, hint lol Thats like saying we won't have a Splinter Cell that isn't Sam Fisher (ignores the agents are interchangeable and if he dies, another one takes his place)

Sony has not really had much issue getting new characters in existing IP.

The Getaway had a main character change in part 2
Infamous in part 3
.....The Last Of Us part 2 lol
Don't act shocked when they have Ghost Of Hokkaido 400 years in the future, Fred be like "ok, now where jin at?" lol
Lol well I’ll applaud them if they’ll do it, I just don’t see who they would replace him with. I’d love a Thor game, with a muscle Thor that is, that would be awesome, and they already have the hammer mechanics in place, and have you seen and heard the voice actor? 👌🔥

The service is awesome, and I’ve prepaid so can’t cancel it. But with every delayed game-catalogue release I can’t handle waiting for it’ll lower the value of the service, feels like buying Disney movies day 1 when you have Disney+ just because waiting sucks.
If you’re a LTTP gamer it’s still awesome though, I was there when I started the sub, been feasting and catching up on 2020 and 2021 releases.

Well I think in that case you know what you're getting since Sony have made their stance on 1st party games and subscriptions pretty clear. This is why I fundamentally disagree with locking yourself in to any subscription service for the long haul, the whole thing can change in ways you don't want and you're still locked in.

They'll probably just have a grown up Atreus, bearded, doing regretful (Son of Kratoes) things lol Might be like the transformation we saw from Raiden in MGS2 to MSG4. From rookie, to battle vet lol

The voice actor they have is perfect for Thor.


Its hard to say cause I don't know what their plans are for the IP. Maybe they have phases planned and Atreus is much different as adult or finding himself for all we know Sony Santa Monica might be laying the ground work for another team to take over the IP and they move to something else, like a trilogy with Atreus trying to live up to his father or something, its hard to say.

its not like we won't get games with him, for all we know they have Bluepoint remake God Of War 1 and 2 or something. He call have his own adventures in Valhalla, so cause how that IP is, its really, really hard to tell how they'd do that as death is kinda the beginning of lots of this IP vs end.

Finally a meaty trailer. I like most of what was shown. Just hope Atreus isn't going to get all angsty and whiny the whole game.

The short fight scene with Thor is exactly what the trailer needed to finish with a bang. But I hope we actually get to meet and confront Odin, and hopefully visit the places where these Nordic Gods live. Would be a nice change from the usual beautiful but barren locales. I want to visit an actual city with people in it, though I doubt this will be in the game.

Hope that the giant bird in Helheim finally becomes a boss in this sequel.
I think Thor will probably be the mid game boss. Odin is the big bad

Yeah it is what it is, best LTTP service in gaming but annoying as hell for day 1 gamers.
I think I’ll cave in eventually and buy a big physical edition, I’ll try to wait as long as I can though and cry in a corner when all you are having a blast, they’ll probably patch it for a couple months so maybe I get something good out of it.

Reverse groomer.
Naughty Dog and Santa Monica are 2 completely different companies so don't go bringing TLOU up in a fucking god of war thread

Anyways... I feel like I'm fucking insane, here. I can't see the hype for either gsme. I'm not all that big into 5he first game and I've played it for a little while now, so far I think I prefer spiderman
Is it because I'm playing on a harder difficulty? Everyone in the board regardless of views on gaming are here praising the trailer and I just feel like an outlier since the first game doesn't gel right with me

I'm getting it day 1 to avoid all that lol

If this game's story has some epic ending, no one here shutting the fuck about that shit for years to come lol Be like "why Atreus turn into a fuck boy like dat"

Be like "i TOLD YOU, he was under the fucking LOKI SPELL, look his eyes doe" lol

I avoided so much this year, this has to be the day 1. I don't know if I'll get some special edition though, just a vanilla. To wait, you'd have to avoid everyone at all cost. Every time you come in thread, you won't know who spoils it.

Saying wild shit like "its crazy cause he threw the axe, who knew i'd come back and behead him and the head fall right in Atreus lap like dat....dammmmmn" lol

So I've been checking up on how many times Kratos died after the death has to earn me line and realized Kratos is actual really from the Greek Mythology.

Kratos (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Kratos (or Cratos) is the divine personification of strength. He is the son of Pallas and Styx. Kratos and his siblings Nike ('Victory'), Bia ('Force'), and Zelus ('Glory') are all essentially personifications of a trait. Kratos is first mentioned alongside his siblings in Hesiod's Theogony.

The personification of strength matches God if War Kratos as the only God like feats he has is strength.

Of course the story is rewritten in God of War as Kratos is now the son of Zeus.
It would be cool if Santa Monica Studio explored the Mythology Kratos more, but atleast they used his character.

Kratos is characterized as brutal and merciless, repeatedly mocking both Hephaestus and Prometheus and advocating for the use of unnecessary violence.

IF you like the thor voice actor, he is in sons of anarchy.

Probably the wrong thread for this, but is there a cheaper way to get PS5 games digitally? Thinking of getting the digital console for this but want to avoid paying the full £70 for games where I can.
I wouldn’t search for an actual PSN key. You’re probably going to get ripped off. I would say getting the credit for PSN at a reduced price and then purchasing it with credit is your best bet.

I have a bad feeling this won't be a good showing for the PS4 (It's what I own and will play it on). Really hoping it's playable and not a slideshow.

Lot of people in this thread are coping so hard. Did I just witness some dude telling others to keep their positive opinions on this trailer in check? Get the fuck out of here.

Looks incredible. Bought a PS4 pro just for the first game and have never regretted it. And I'm about to order a PS5 for this one (unless it comes to PC idk?).

i mean...i can't imagine a 60fps mode on that console for sure. as long as it's a stable 30fps it's good already.

I know, that's what I want and hope for. Stable 30, and also not a whole lotta sacrifices. Can't wait for all the DF videos on how its inferior in every respect, heh.

No kidding, he is Thor. Perfect voice and appearance, loved the unboxing video. I want more! Hoping Kratos don’t get to kill him properly so he can somehow crawl back without his dad bod and get his own IP 👍

Yeah it’ll suck but I’m mostly in it for the gameplay so in this case I’m okay getting spoiled. And I have plenty of ideas myself how they can implement the myths into the IP. I think they’ll do it like they did with Loki, similar death as the myth but not done the same way and for the same reason, it’ll be fun to see how they do it.
Or maybe the line about going their own path and not like what is written is about them taking a different approach altogether.

It’ll absolutely come to PC but prepare to wait for it. If I would guess we’ll get a PS+ Extra/Premium release in late 2023 and a definitive edition PC release in 2024.

Looks like everything I would expect given what the last game was,no way they can recreate the impact of that (gameplay)reboot....glad the story is ending here I'm kind of over these enviroments.

Eh people said the same about hfw and its fine. Even if runs below 1080p it will look better than 2018 gow.

Ohh booyy, Elden Ring will have to fight for that GOTY.
Honestly, GOTY doesn’t matter when you’re a Bandai-Namco published game and you sold 15+ million copies. SSM has more than likely worked this game to the top 90+ MC score. I want a blue t-shirt. I had the red one for the previous game.

They showed more than expected even to a spoliler level in some scenes....

I am afraid something trascendental will happen ....

I’ve played over 250 hours of Elden Ring so far, for me it’ll be GOTY unless Nintendo stealth release a AAA UE5 Super Metroid remake or something like that. But going by the Ragnarök trailer and my own hype and others and how lots of Souls fans don’t even like Elden Ring I think Ragnarök will be a much less divisive game and therefore more likely to win at TGA.
Who knows what’ll happen on GAF though, Halo Infinite won last year…

I was almost certain that GOTY would go to Elden Ring due to it being a new IP and all but after yesterdays trailer I’m pretty sure it won’t be as clear cut. Doesn’t matter anyway, both will probably be very deserving of winning.
Remember that God of War is pretty much the perfect trailer game, there are so many huge dramatic moments to play on and hype.

Contrast it to something like Zelda, which is hard to hype in trailers.

Meaning, I wouldn't sell my house that Elden Ring got a competitor just yet.

This is natural hype cycle for God of War titles.

Many people weren't around when God of War 3 released on PS3 after cliffhanger ending in God of War 2 on PS2. Hype was surreal.

It ultimately undermined the game for me. Been there done that.

The thing that Ragnarok has for it is that it will be fresh by the time voting is happening for TGAs. Elden Ring will be like 9 months old at that point.

What Ragnarok has against it, is that it's an exclusive game...but then again, so was the first one and it won against Red Dead Redemption 2. I was honestly surprised when i saw that lmao.

Pretty sure It will be the same quality as the last entry. Which was pretty great.

NaughtyDog is basically the reason Playstation is the company it is. GOW of today is a TLoU-ed GOW of yesterday. Many studios heads mention it’s influence.

Many here will spazz and blame TLoU2 and/or woke culture, if Kratos dies for a sentimental reason, if Loki is bi, or if Odin isn’t white.

Also Spiderman is ok.
 
I appreciate your earnestness. that is why you win Poster of the day.

Asks dumb question.

"I assume you're joking"

"No, I really want to know."

"I find it difficult to believe you're being serious."

"No, I'm sorry, I honestly don't. Please tell me."

"I still think you're trying to be funny, but just in case here's the answer."

"OMG!!! YOU FELL FOR IT!?!? MR. GULLIBLE! YOU IDIOT!! I ALREADY KNEW!!!!"

Heh, heh. You got me good.

Looks excellent, you would hope it teaches some people to calm down/show a little patience and not make snap judgements about games too early - but some people never learn.
No, it's more for theatrics. You can't be a drama queen if you exhibit even a modicum of patience.

This trailer looks amazing. Game looks tits.

Gaf:
Game company shows early footage of game
Gaf: looks shite, framerate is all over the place, looks like a PS3 game, textures are straight from PS4, combat looks terrible, underwhelming trailer etc etc.
Game company shows footage close to release
Gaf: Mind blown, wow, amazing yadda yadda....
Rince and repeat!
