Nick Michetti writes: After a multitude of possible leaks concerning its development, a new God of War title potentially being in development might end up being another one of Sony’s “worst kept secrets” in the video game industry. The official reveal might now be finally upon us, with a PlayStation Facebook post possibly teasing a new God of War announcement tomorrow. Whatever the circumstances are behind the next installment, God of War is now a franchise that spans two generations of home consoles (not to mention two handheld installments) and certainly could use some new features. Listed below are some things we’d like to see included in the next God of War game.
Sony's PlayStation 4 is home to a number of great exclusives, here we take a look at the ten best ones available for gamers right now.
Every now and again a video game reboot comes along that completely changes how you feel about its characters, message, and the overall franchise. For many people that was God of War, when creative director Cory Barlog reimagined it in the Norse world. Now this might sound ridiculous, but the next candidate could very well be Megaman. Yes, seriously. Artist Marco Plouffe drew the bright blue hero as if he has been brought up in the harsh world of furs, ale, and gods that are a bit too enthusiastic about killing each other and giving birth to giant serpents.
Hats off for the quality of the picture but it's just shaved Kratos with a helmet. Should be blue surely.
While this was a great article and concept, I think this "wow let's copy god of war" "wow let's copy battle royal" "let's copy soulsbourne" or whatever is more bad than good for the gaming industry. Why not take, in this example God Of War "style", but put it in let say a middle east setting?
I understand small studios (and ea ms studios) wants to copy everything under the sun, but if you can't come up with your own ideas, why have a studio to begin with?
TLDR; be unique - not a rip off from yesteryear
Atreus was a seminal part of God of War but he also was a huge headache. Here's how the team at Sony Santa Monica not only made the boy tolerable, but an invaluable asset.
God Of War 3 is about as epic as a game gets, if they can match or surpass that they have made me proud.
leave it on the cutting room floor
I can't say that I really WANT a God of War IV.
I'd love to see a new character... one with some actual personality who isn't yelling all the time
What I want from it?
For it to be Heavenly Sword 2.
