Fantastic graphics.

Gameplay seems like the usual Sony SP game.

Looks like since it's a girl power game you'll be getting some cheesy stuff like the green gelanteous cube ally.

Kind of like he-man and she ra. She ra got the girly sidekicks.

 

[Lord Panda]

I can smell the feminism through the screen.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Sony and Microsoft really have become the new Disney's.

 

[Mengy]

Faye looks like she does fentanyl.

Yeah, she really does!!!

 

[Prodyhig]

By the way, it's still not Cory's game,
which means he's working on a different project.

 

[Paulistano]

God of Elderly Looks

 

[EN250]

Graphics look insane, gameplay looks decent to good.


Why ... just why ... does it need the GoW wrapper?

Because it wouldn't have a chance to succeed without the brand's attachment

Hope it's more like 2018 and less than Ragnarok, tho that would make me mad as well, because it means they had a better game on their hands and decided to give the protagonism to this 2 minutes side character than the main character of the franchise, fml...

 

[MMaRsu]

Too many 'gamers' on here just love to hate on games. I'm noticing a pattern that the industry as a whole is too negative when it comes to games. It's exhausting.

Dude it looks like absolutely the most derative, bland Marvel esque action game one can make.

 

[SJRB]

We're calling the character ugly now really?? If that's ugly then 95% of female characters are ugly in gaming.

 

[mayham2199]

Man, I was actually surprised by this. I went in with a ton of bad vibes and zero hype for the idea, but after watching it I got interested. It still feels like the weirdest choice for a God of War game, but this format where we follow her journey after death is pretty cool. It didn't come off as woke like I thought it would.

Same I wasn't interested in this at all until I saw we were following her after death.

 

[midnightAI]

But it wasn't even an introduction to the mechanics. It was just a whole of talking and doing nothing.

Well, there was jumping, double jumping, sliding, using magic and using weapons. It's just building the story also, normal stuff really, plenty of games are front loaded with story to set the scene. This isn't a trailer, it's the beginning of the game.

 

[ElFenomeno]

God of Menopause.

 

[tr1p1ex]

Mom of War is better.

 

[Bartski]

I mean graphically it looks top notch and the combat is kinda what I was expecting the Loki game too look like but how is that a good idea for a story? I hope SSM proves me wrong

 

[Varteras]

Got my attention. Enjoyed what I saw.

 

[Gamer79]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

With how they handled Ragnarok, I have little faith the pacing will get better, but we'll see.

 

[Aenima]

I see the usual "OMG the actress in this game is so hot you guys are crazy" arguments that (once again) fail to recognize that the devs removed every feature that makes these women attractive and feminine

First thing these DEI games do is desexualize the female protagonist as much as possible. The actress has a decent breast size, the character is completelly flat.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

"I swear to god dude, if you punch me in the face even ONE more time, then I'm going to KILL YOU"

Man this chick is fierce.

 

[TintoConCasera]

If this woman is considered unattractive by the usual suspects, I can understand that the problem stems from heterosexuality not being part of the equation.

I can understand that, but please let the rest of us enjoy her.

She's hot indeed. Too bad she's not in the game.

 

[MMaRsu]

Yeah that would make a lot of sense.

I remember on Loveline, Adam Carolla would always talk about the caller having "pretty people syndrome". They think everything they say is interesting because they're used to dudes pretending to be interested. You can tell this game was written by someone like that.

You know who to blame.

I mean these are the writers.



They started their God of War journey with 2018.

 

[Gamer79]

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

It was a movie similarity. Gameplay looked Okish

 

[Sebastian1295]

Dude it looks like absolutely the most derative, bland Marvel esque action game one can make.

It's another god of war. Of course it was going to follow the god of war formula. Combat and gameplay look alot different from ragnarok though.

 

[majestix1988]

Sekhmet - Warrior Goddess of Egyptians(mostly well known goddess of Medicine)
Begtse - Tibetan/Mongolian folklore (God of War)

 

[Monkfish877]

Sony needs to take Playstation out of California and back to Japan, they're ruining the whole brand with this woke nonsense. I mean just look at the state of Faye, I just can't comprehend how anybody would want to play as her, there's absolutely nothing noteworthy about her, I just can't comprehend who they're trying to appeal to, it's mind numbing stuff. Sony really are willing to sacrifice a sizable chunk of sales and money to promote this stuff, it's sad.

 

[tTHANOSs]

So just GoW in girl form? Yikes. Gameplay looks too similar. Wish it looked more gritty. The npcs looked like they came from Concord.

 

[GooseMan69]

I seriously can't with with modern video game writing anymore. Why can't anyone ever just shut the fuck up for 10 seconds.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

can't these guys do something different for a change

They've literally never made another franchise apart from Kinetica in 2001. I was hoping Corey was going to do something new but the risk was obviously too high.

As I said before I haven't even played Ragnarok. I'm a VERY patient gamer, while others are playing 007 first light, I'm finishing platinum run on hitman 3, I'm happy to wait and as a bit of a trophy hunter it's even easier to wait for sales.

I used to pay £60/£70 on release but I've ended up with such a backlog of unfinished games that I've spent the last year basically playing games from 6/7 years ago. As someone with a lot of other responsibilities gaming is a relatively cheap hobby. I've just bought a really nice gaming PC and command and conquer remastered is unreal also . I don't know how people can complain really with the amount of stuff we have.

God of war: tile of annihilation

 

[Prodyhig]

She's hot indeed. Too bad she's not in the game.

Don't lie to me.

It's always better to feel that chest hair.

 

[Gabe ♥]

I really liked it to be honest. Looks like a dlc.

 

[near]

You know who to blame.

Was this her idea:

 

[TintoConCasera]

Don't lie to me.

It's always better to feel that chest hair.

No need to insult other people over a videogame, but you do you fam.

 

[Knucklepux]

The cube is absolutely fucking stupid. This is Marvel/Disney levels of stupid

Hopefully the cube is just a placeholder for a character they don't want to reveal yet….

 

[Bojji]

If this woman is considered unattractive by the usual suspects, I can understand that the problem stems from heterosexuality not being part of the equation.

I can understand that, but please let the rest of us enjoy her.

Her in game model is much uglier:

 

[Hoddi]

I didn't have high hopes but that looks far worse than I thought it would. And I don't mean in that idiotic 'woke because woman' nonsense.

It's like they just wanted to squeeze out a sequel no matter what.

 

[GymWolf]

Is the companion really a grape jello?

 

[kruis]

I mean these are the writers.



They started their God of War journey with 2018.

Alanah Pearce worked as a writer at Sony Santa Monica between 2020-2024.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Her in game model is much uglier:

Only thing that comes to mind: fucking why? The have a hot lady for the lead role, they know Stellar Blade sold gangbusters, yet they do this?

Baffling to say the least.

 

[MMaRsu]

Alanah Pearce worked as a writer at Sony Santa Monica between 2020-2024.

I know, but do we even know if and what she worked on?

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Looked fantastic, graphics and gameplay looked top notch. Easy preorder for me.

My PS5 Pro is ready

 

[Z O N E]

Disney-fied God of War where you don't even play as the God of War and not even the good Disney either.

 

[Banjo64]

Resetera is concerned

"they need to be careful with the white woman fighting other myths thing"

"seeing a Norse pagan killing other gods leaves a pretty dirty taste in my mouth, doubly so at a time where Norse Paganism is used by white supremacists often as empowerment"

actually I love this game now

 

[jshackles]

 

[Lokaum D+]

The purple color...

 

[Memati187]

I can smell the feminism through the screen.

 

[SyberWolf]

i guess kratos game set in egypt after this confirmed? i hope so.

Debbie is very attractive, but the in-game character is not so much. It's like they uglied her down or something?

Is a rainbow jello cube
