[splattered]

Guys this is what winning the generation looks like... enjoy!

 

[Wilhelm_85]

You just can't make this shit up...

Honestly, probably going to be a decent amount of overlap on the teams.

 

[Jinxed]

People are going to get this confused with the singer Laufey. Terrible title. Impressive showing though but damn

Then they know shit about mythology

 

[apowhungo]

Someone forgot to add the clip of all the PSVR2 games

Dude I was waiting so hard for logo after the Ace Combat trailer. you've gotta be fuckin kidding me if they dont release that in psvr2.

 

[WoodyStare]

Are they just showing the whole game? lol

 

[StueyDuck]

Shut the fuck up. It was all story and next to no gameplay. And the gameplay looked like generic trash.

it looked like it should have been a short dlc for 2018 for $20 that ballooned way out of control

 

[AGRacing]

Are y'all fuming just because they make you play as a woman?

Develop your social toolbox to detect nuance.

 

[CartesianMan]

This Lafy game is it out of season joke? This game is real eh?

 

[PlayofSparta]

Are y'all fuming just because they make you play as a woman?

basically, yeah. game look great for me tho

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

GTA VI will save us.

 

[Erebus]

Shut the fuck up. It was all story and next to no gameplay. And the gameplay looked like generic trash.

You mean just like the last two GoW games?

 

[MacReady13]

Once again from Sony, a beautiful looking but story driven game that seems to be absolute trash. Take out Wolverine and please remind me again what use anyone has for the PS5 that a PC won't give you? I'd rather keep my Series X to play GTA6 over the shit Sony are dishing up. Truly fucking awful stuff. I wasted an hour to see a wifey game at the end?!? Fuck me drunk. Sony have clearly lost the plot.

 

[gametimedecision]

The cover art is insanely horrific

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

This show was dogshit ass garbage.

People went to theaters for this? LOL

 

[Oberstein]

R2 of War.

Nothing interesting. Just scripts and corridors.

 

[Quantum253]

IgN: 11/10

 

[Steve Holt]

That shit was 99.5% cutscenes, not gameplay. What's to even play here?

I mean yeh, it was obviously the start of the game. Ofc they need to set up the premise.

 

[Fbh]

The actual boss battle looked ok. The animations are weird though, she looks like she is sliding on the ground most of the time.
The game also showcased the issue with most modern Sony games, like 60% of the reveal "gameplay" is walking around and long cinematics. Even if the combat is decent (like in Ragnarok) they'll constantly interrupt it with barely interactive story sequences.
The writing seems awful, MCU companions and they literally use the "focus" line from the "modern game" meme lol

 

[Sticks]

Imagine substituting Kratos for his wife and a cube of jelly.

 

[MMaRsu]

LAUFEY

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Boring so far, only ILL was interesting.

 

[RuneFactoryFanboy]

That was really lame. Modern Sony presentations feel like I'm watching old Xbox E3 press conferences. Western studios showing off cinematic trailers full of blood, guns, and non-stop scripted set pieces.

 

[Red-Dead-Ocelot]

So done with PS Studios

Its all fucking the same shit over and over again

Baby / Marvelized crap up the fucking wazoo

Self talking protags

Annoying walking sections

Combat for babies

Oh no. Poor guy. Your sensiabilities were hurt. Maybe we can find a game for you where your little feelings aren't hurt.

We'll find you a big boy game, where only the biggest play.

Than we'll stomp our little feet when we don't get exactly what we want.

 

[Hypereides]

Imagine substituting Kratos for his wife and a cube of jelly.

Dunno what you're talking about. Its an upgrade, obviously.

Seriously though, I'm not sure what went through SMS' minds. Its not as well thought or as memorable as Kratos' design either. But, whatever, Sony seems deadset on this all leads must be female thing, I guess.

 

[MacReady13]

You mean just like the last two GoW games?

Bingo! I didn't like them either.

 

[Forth]

Sorry PlayStation but that was fucking disappointing. Thank goodness I never made the effort of going to the cinema to watch it.
Also God of War Laufey is still in development, why? It just looks like GOW and Ragnorok. Six years they've been at it, FFS.
There was absolutely nothing there that would make me purchase a PlayStation and honestly PC gamers are not missing anything.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Welp, that, as they say, is that.

 

[Slothbeingg]

I like the gameplay. Not the character and she talks too much. It's fucking Aloy reskin again.

 

[Denton]

A game made for Kamala timeline.

Oh well.

 

[Mr Moose]

I will pretend the show ended after Until Dawn 2.

 

[Jinxed]

People asking for what's the mythology

Name of the game refers to mythology

People complain about the name

lol

 

[Fabieter]

I expect Microsoft to have a better show for Sony. This wasn't great.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

You just can't make this shit up...

OMG dude I almost choked on my RAGE STICKS

 

[Brock2621]

I'm totally down with new God of Woman. It looks freakin DOPE

 

[MMaRsu]

Oh no. Poor guy. Your sensiabilities were hurt. Maybe we can find a game for you where your little feelings aren't hurt.

We'll find you a big boy game, where only the biggest play.

Than we'll stomp our little feet when we don't get exactly what we want.

Haha lmao there are plenty of great games out there to play, even third party titles at this presentation looked more interesting than what Sony itself has on offer

This is a discussion forum by the way, not a circle jerk!

Fine if you enjoyed the showing but to me it was derative shit from Sony once again. Zero interesting titles from them in the past few years.

 

[Oberstein]

 

[FoxMcChief]

Here are my standouts:

Tomb Raider
Onimusha
Ace Combat
ILL
Pay-Ops ps2 emulation

 

[KXVXII9X]

I thought PS4 games were the foundation for something even greater, but it turns out they were the best they could do.

The PS5 generation reminds me of the jock that peaked in high school and is trying to relive their glory days and never really developed further.

The visuals are definitely better but the games just feel more of the same. At least the dualsense controller is nice.

 

[MisterXDTV]

I expect Microsoft to have a better show for Sony. This wasn't great.

Microsoft is a third party, so it's a Sony show anyway....

LOL

 

[Memati187]

Another shitshow from Sony. At least a few 3rd party stuff are interesting, but Sony.....fuck them.

 

[Barrier Island Dweller]

Are y'all fuming just because they make you play as a woman?

Nah, it's because Gow Fatigue is real
Granted the combat and being able to jump makes it better than the previous game.

This also looks like a DLC add on
If this wasn't named God of War i would be more kind to it.
Like I have zero issues with the actress
But a talking cube is dumb as fuck.

 

[OLED_Gamer]

The amount of mental injuries being suffered by GAF right now is hilarious lol

I can't watch these until tonight but i'm guessing the GoW gameplay was buttcheeks.

 

[TheGodfather07]

That's the next god of war?? Doesn't feel like God of war to me. Should have just made it a new ip and not used faye.

 

[Fabieter]

You just can't make this shit up...

 

[YCoCg]

I mean yeh, it was obviously the start of the game. Ofc they need to set up the premise.

They could've chopped off the first half, show it from when she was being interrogated, keep people unsure what game it is, then the vision of Kratos would've been a surprise.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Is that a GameCube?

 

[Brock2621]

Dude I'm down. The branding of Laufey is kinda weird but the gameplay has me absolutely sold

 

[pqueue]

The amount of mental injuries being suffered by GAF right now is hilarious lol

I can't watch these until tonight but i'm guessing the GoW gameplay was buttcheeks.

it is generic and does not justify its existence over a mainline GOW game.

 

[Sticks]

I will pretend the show ended after Until Dawn 2.

 

[Danjin44]

I can't find Onimusha demo! I want play it now!
