30 seconds of 'gameplay'?

 

[Wooxsvan]

30 seconds of 'gameplay'?

 

[Bartski]

30 seconds of 'gameplay'?

2 minutes of 30 seconds of looping gameplay.

 

[Bartski]

and a countdown. Really?

"In this exclusive God Of War Ragnarök gameplay video, we showcase how Sony Santa Monica's level designers made the new dwarven realm, Svartalfheim, larger than life."

Question for SSM. How big is life?

 

[cormack12]

I think that was even shorter than the last one lol

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Yisus fucking Christ this is some pathetic bullshit.

 

[nani17]

I thought it was going to be longer

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

I thought it was going to be longer

Have you heard that one before?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

A single 3-4min trailer at an event would have sufficed Sony rather than these pointless vids.

 

[nani17]

Have you heard that one before?

funny enough i never have

 

[SlimySnake]

This is ridiculous. Another one minute long video? I thought they said this one was going to be 6 minutes.

The picture quality is also awful. Sony should be releasing 4k 60 fps fucking HDR streams for this game.

EDIT: 4k feed posted.

4K is up:

 

[Bartski]

2 minutes countdown to 1 minute 20 seconds of in game footage. Nice going Game Informer.

When was the last time you saw a 4k60 live game reveal stream on youtube?

4K is up:

 

[Kiraly]

 

[Zimmy68]

We took the long corridor from the first game and added different textures and enemies. Violia! Larger than life!

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Not impressed, tbh.....look like GOW 2018. I'll wait for more footage but im not feeling this so far.

 

[Kiraly]

 

[cormack12]

Is that bob hoskins?

 

[Bartski]

the 4K footage looks mighty fine tho

 

[GHG]

These videos are too short.

Whose idea was it to give this coverage to game informer and to chop it up like this (or allow them to)?

Just make one video and be done with it.

 

[SkeletonQuays]

hahaha wow. thanks GI... that was riveting.

 

[SlimySnake]

When was the last time you saw a 4k60 live game reveal stream on youtube?

4K is up:

Much better.

The mines look good. Dont care much for the city.

 

[Chupanibre]

These video comments are too similar.

Whose idea was it to give these users to neogaf and to comment like this (or allow them to)?

Just make one post and be done with it.

 

[Gudji]

Damn it looks so good can't wait!

 

[Bartski]

Odin Ravens confirmed

 

[sncvsrtoip]

4k video looks nice, some improvements over gow 2018 for sure

 

[cormack12]

Atreus climbs to an elevated ledge, scouts the area, and offers a plan of action, but not before cracking a joke at the expense of his father's aging knees.

 

[Gudji]

Boi is becoming bold.

 

[Tommi84]

2 minutes countdown to 1 minute 20 seconds of in game footage.

Yeah, that's low even for game journalists

 

[remember_spinal]

sony isn’t gonna give Gameinformer anything substantial. I wouldn’t be surprised if we haven’t seen anything beyond the opening tutorial zone of the game yet, the dwarves realm seems like an early game thing

 

[saintjules]

I always find it interesting that it's Game Informer with these exclusive first looks on games.

 

[Gobjuduck]

Looks like god of war

 

[Represent.]

what a tragic marketing campaign. lmao


at the same time though, its painfully obvious this game is holding stuff back in a major way, I bet we play as Atreus 80% of the game after a time skip.

Yeah good ol' game-inobviouser, about as informational as phoning the developer's offices and speaking to Betsy at the front desk.

"Its got enemies in it... and you fight them!"

*puts hands over mouth in shock*

 

[Kuranghi]

funny enough i never have

Yeah...I mean Playstation can just push these small tidbits on their channel as opposed to GI. But I guess it's trying to spread the hype more so

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Am i the only one that doesn't want to see a lot more footage?
Like...what else do you guys need?

It'll play like God of War. We already knew what it will be about. You know you'll travel to all realms etc...

All i want is the game.

It's weird you guys are worried about the marketing campaign of a game you already know it's coming, when it's coming and how it will play.

I don't need to see any footage. Barring some shock terrible reviews or a broken game I'll be getting it day one.

But if they are going to show me something at least try to make it exciting. This is some of the most zero effort marketing I've ever seen.

 

[AJUMP23]

Looks like we are still paddling down the rivers. Why doesn't your lazy son help?

That i agree with you.

It's like they wanted to have this cover but didn't want to show anything so they just gave GI 4 minutes of footage that they are spreading through like countless videos, lmao.

 

[The_Mike]

They can't show the whole game you know.

It shouldn't bother you enough to comment about what other people say about the marketing. Can always hit ignore lol.

Not necessarily weird and I'm not worried about it. It's day 1 for me regardless. What I'm saying is 1 minute drip feed videos that I'd rather put on my own channel for traffic. I just find it interesting that's all.

And yeah I would want to see a story trailer with some gameplay footage and call it a day until release. But history has shown us that that never happens.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I hope Sony shows nothing more of this game

 

[Bartski]

 

[Jim Ryan other Clone]

They are just trolling now for couple views....
