Day one

 

[midnightAI]

Some of you are completely nuts, it looks fkin incredible

 

[LectureMaster]

Just went back to check the reveal trailer for GoW 2018. What a fucking downgrade.

What we have lost those years, GAF?

 

[VeganElduderino]

Looks pretty! It doesn't make me regret selling the shitstation 5, but if it ever finds it way to pc, ill buy it

 

[Gaiff]

Yes

Then no wonder you say that. 2 fights in 20 minutes and barely any player agency, but if that's your jam, that's your jam.

 

[kpopSuperstar]

Please don't have the sword talk to you during the entire game.

PLEASE DON'T HAVE THE CUBE BE A FUNNY SARCASTIC COMPANION.

Everything else looks brilliant.

 

[nial]

writing was whack, but it looks pretty

 

[MrAlwaysRight]

Holy shit you guys are miserable as fuck, you all cry you want more games, they give you games and you find a reason to shit on it!

 

[Bojji]

Just went back to check the reveal trailer for GoW 2018. What a fucking downgrade.

What we have lost those years, GAF?

0 graphical improvements for 8 years and 2 gens.

 

[RavenSan]

Actually kinda sad I sold my PS5 — this looks great, but not enough to buy a console again.

 

[Zathalus]

Eh, don't think it's going to live up the bar set by God of War but it looks like it could potentially be fun. Combat looks good but the location and characters I'm not really sold on.

 

[HRK69]

Then no wonder you say that. 2 fights in 20 minutes and barely any player agency, but if that's your jam, that's your jam.

 

[Zekra Dezivad]

Another cinematic game with a psycho protagonist that talks to themselves all the time

 

[R6Rider]

Please don't have the sword talk to you during the entire game.

PLEASE DON'T HAVE THE CUBE BE A FUNNY SARCASTIC COMPANION.

Everything else looks brilliant.

Yeah, I hope the sword and jello are not annoying. Could be cool companions.

 

[TheTurboFD]

According to GAF, she's a horrible woman.

I don't understand.

That's because the only women they see in real life is their gooner anime figures. Game looks like a God of War game so it's definitely going to be solid. Losers will cry woke because it's a woman MC as usual.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Luffy

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

How is this what they have turned God of War into? Imagine back in the day playing GoW2 and you could see this coming, you'd ask what the fuck happened.

 

[Alexios]

Looks contrived af (just like the previous games I guess but at least the first one you may say is somewhat fresh, now it's just the same thing with a different character model). Token slow walking and ots cam. Not very exciting combat or visuals, as good as they are technically. I like daredevil's lady.

 

[Sephimoth]

Looks shit.
Forspoken from Temu

 

[Stafford]

Just fuck off already with these chatty protagonists. Yeesh.

 

[Sweden85]

Looks amazing, and will probably involve lots of myths and old foes of Kratos.

 

[Diddy X]

That's Karen from Daredevil? She's gorgeous.

Yeah, that girl is pretty.

God of War bored me to death tho so not looking forward to any more entry.

 

[GravityMan]

That looked WAY more interesting than Ragnarok.

 

[ShirAhava]

If that cube counts as non-binary I think we're looking at GOTY here folks.

 

[Days like these...]

The burlap cloth covering the body at the begining of the trailer doesn't move or burn realistically. Hard pass.

Wtf? Why were the butterflies chirping? Definitely passing on this.

 

[Gojiira]

what mythos are the enemies drawing from? the big red guy looks almost southeast Asian looking in style while the greed/blue lady looks Egyptian.

Well they said its the 'Afterlife of the Gods' so Im guessing its going to be MANY mythologies.
Seriously hoping Zeus or Hades shows up. That big cat thing was obviously a Sphinx and Im sure they mentioned Sekhmet. Red guy either a Oni or a Aztec god.
Idk but game looks dope

 

[Kenneth Haight]

God of Woke

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Yeah looked great. Gaf lost its touch with reality. Oh no, a woman, WOKE!!&!*!!&)! Jesus fuck. Gameplay looked fucking solid.

The problem is not the woman. She's the best thing in the game by far.

BUT:


- The constant yapping.

- The marvelesque humor

- THE FUCKING GELATINE CUBE.

- The multiverse bullshit.

It's just too much cringe.


And of course, lots of purple. Purple everywhere.

 

[vpance]

Even if it looked good graphically the dialogue is trash tier. No way I'd force myself to sit through that.

 

[ebevan91]

A bunch of info here https://blog.playstation.com/2026/06/02/first-look-at-god-of-war-laufey/

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Kinda dissapointed with the fact that it's just a more fluid God of War, was hoping for something faster like DMC. I have no idea where the story could go, but I am interested enough. The facial capture looks really nice, you can tell the difference when you compare it to how Kratos looks like even in the video.

 

[midnightAI]

Then no wonder you say that. 2 fights in 20 minutes and barely any player agency, but if that's your jam, that's your jam.

It's the intro to the game, you didn't do much in the intro to 2018

Anyway, this thread has turned out exactly as I thought it would, GAF be GAFin

 

[[Sigma]]

Show the got damn trailer(the slow mo roll out pissed me off lol)--oh no --gaf is going to mad about her looks--cringe--boring--meh--this is getting somewhat kinda interesting--alright I kinda want to play

Went through it emotionally watching that trailer.

 

[kpopSuperstar]

Oh no, Alanah Pearce wrote parts of the story. For fucks sake

 

[StereoVsn]

Kind of looks meh, need to see more of gameplay and story info.

 

[SuperMac]

The combat looks way more fun than the new God Of War games. This is how I wished Kratos would of played like.
Cory deserves full control of the series going forward I think lol. This looks surprisingly good.

 

[Sticks]

The game title, font and gaycube

 

[VEZ1R]

Looks good and everyone would've been very positive if this game completely standalone new ip. But under God of War name? GTFO Sony!

 

[March Climber]

I'm of a split opinion about this.

• I think this looks great.
• I think it should have been it's own cool I.P.

There's a lot of creative and cool ideas they're kind of wasting by boxing it all into the God of War mythos and I.P.

 

[SJRB]

CUBE
OF
WAR

 

[The_hunter]

I'd play this, but Santa Monica please tone down the amount talking the woman does to herself.

 

[gamerEMdoc]

Looked interesting except the jello cube bouncing around the screen the entire time for comic relief totally ruined the serious atmosphere.

 

[Prodyhig]

Are you blind?

It's currently at the top visually.

 

[saintjules]

Laufey Taffy

 

[Melfice7]

I see they're keeping the modern california dialogue from ragnarok.. meh

 

[Lux77]

Whats with that cube?
That was something, but surely it was not God of War

 

[Bojji]

Are you blind?

It's currently at the top of the charts.

What charts?

Any UE5 game showed here looks one generation ahead.

 

[Monkfish877]

My blood is boiling, I'm literally spitting blood right now, I'm so mad. They're trying to replace Kratos, a gaming icon with this hideous dumb broad, honestly makes feel sick, screw you Barlog!!!!!!! boycotting this garbage

 

[kpopSuperstar]

Yeah, I hope the sword and jello are not annoying. Could be cool companions.

You think so? I don't see any way they are gonna be cool companions.

Having 2 companions to bounce story through has become so damn generic and tiresome to listen to.

You know it's gonna be silly one liners.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Girltos and a giant mint team up to beat discount offbrand Zodd.

Again with the shitty over the shoulder camera.
