E3 2014 Sony Predictions: God of War 4, New IP from Quantic and Guerrilla, and The Last Guardian

Sony is on a roll with the PS4, and you better believe they are going to bring some new games to show off at E3 2014. Will Uncharted 4 and God of War be debuted for the PS4?

-Foxtrot3648d ago

I really hope Sony Santa Monica aren't working on God of War 4, I really want to see something new from them. God of War needs a nice long break, then maybe do a new trilogy with Nordic gods instead.

I'd rather see Heavenly Sword 2

XiNarutoUzumaki3648d ago (Edited 3648d ago )

So you don't want a God of War 4 because you prefer a new IP, and yet you rather see Heavenly Sword 2. *Chuckles*

God of war 4 could be settled in another period. It could feature another mythology because Greek is already done.

Nitrowolf23648d ago (Edited 3648d ago )

The issue I see with God of War though is that they ended Kratos plot line. It's all prequel from here unless they go a different era, which begs to question, should it even be called God of War since it's associated with Kratos? If it stares anyone else, I am sure the internet is going to rage about it.

And don't say it'll still lead with Kratos, because IMO it makes no sense for him to go up against other gods of different era who had nothing to do with his torment.

Heavenly Sword sequel IMO makes more sense than another GOW in terms of story.

I know the ending of GOW 3 really left it open, but still, as a huge fan (even bought Ascension) I feel liek Santa Monica should really be focusing on a different hack and slahs project. I feel liek they have so much potential to lead into something new

I feel, if they are gonna do another god of war, please make it for the Vita. I enjoy prequels on the Vita a lot more than on consoles

-Foxtrot3648d ago (Edited 3648d ago )

I didn't say I wanted Heavy Sword 2 from them did I....I just meant I'd rather see the game in it's place as our "hack and slash" game to fill it's place WHILE God of War takes a break.

Sony do have other big IPs, ones which haven't been seen in a while.

@Nitrowolf2

"because IMO it makes no sense for him to go up against other gods of different era who had nothing to do with his torment"

Exactly....why would he waste his time going against other gods which haven't done anything to him. Least killing the Greek gods made sense after what they did to him. It was game of revenge and in the end he finally got it. End of.

@Naruto "So you don't want a God of War 4 because you prefer a new IP, and yet you rather see Heavenly Sword 2. *Chuckles*"

Considering we've gotten tons of GoW. GoW collection, GoW III, Gow Of War: Orgins collection and GoW Ascention.

plus numerous Gow before those a new Ip would be a very good welcome from these guys. Despite there reconstruction I really hope these have a secret Ip in the works.

There is only one Heavenly Sword I personally been waiting for a sequel to that amazing game for a while.

pedrof933648d ago

GOD OF WAR 4 ?

http://knowyourmeme.com/mem...

I just wander what kind of story we will see after Kratos destroyed every single... thing.

Skips3648d ago (Edited 3648d ago )

^ @pedro

Kratos could go after the Primordials. http://godofwar.wikia.com/w...

That would make for some EPIC next gen boss fights. :D

Contrary to popular belief, there are a lot of REALLY old Gods and creatures that pre date anything used in the main GOWs like Aether, Erubus, Nyx, Ananke, and Typhon etc. etc.

And I just don't like how we never really figured out what the hell happened to Kratos' family (especially his bro) after he unleashed all souls from the afterlife. lol

But yea, I'd want God Of War IV AFTER a new IP from SSM. Definitely a new IP first.

Sevir3648d ago

There doesn't need to be a GOW4... Ascension just launched last year and the year before that was the Master collection with all the PSP games and GOW1-2-3 in one bundle, and there's GoW 1 and 2 for vita this year... The franchise has gotten very fatigued. Let the franchise rest.

What's gonna be at E3... Here's my prediction for Sony

The Order:1886
Driveclub
Uncharted
The Last of Us Remastered

New Ips announced*
Entwined
Sony Japan PS4 new Ip
Sony London PS4 new Ip
Sony Bend PS4 new Ip

Another slew of PS4 indie games
New stuff regarding the Vita Software.

PS Now release date, service details and catalog offerings

Theparanerds3648d ago

God of War 4 would be God of War 7, Heavenly Sword 2 will be Heavenly Sword 2

God of war is a massive ip. It is like saying Microsoft shouldn't have another Halo. These big iterations will happen since people want them

Jazz41083648d ago

If you count all the spin offs they just have made to many to quickly. Fans really want to see some new ips for these consoles.

GarrusVakarian3648d ago (Edited 3648d ago )

I would LOVE another God Of War. GOW3 was just.......oh man. Epic is the perfect word.

I'm all for new IP's, but damn, i would buy GOW4 day one. It just needs a different theme. Kratos needs to stay though!

If i remember correctly, SSM have multiple projects in development, don't they? Even after the new IP got cancelled.

monkeyDzoro3648d ago (Edited 3648d ago )

I dont understand why people are saying GOW is over. There's still some juice in that serie.

Kratos is dead and where is his body ? Earth is doomed ? When Zeus said to Gaia that she chose the wrong one during the last fight, who was he refering to ?
In Ascension, there's a paint of the Earth with some message you decrypt and it implies there might be a sort of sequel:
"When the Earth stops, the journey begins..."

HugoDrax3648d ago

"I would LOVE another God Of War. GOW3 was just.......oh man. Epic is the perfect word. "

I would love one as well. I'm currently waiting to pickup The God of War collection for my Vita :-)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/pr...

Dark113648d ago

Nah i want a new GOW .. SSM already tried to work on new IP and it didn't end well.

GoW 4 could use some elements form Darksiders 2 to keep things fresh.

fei-hung3648d ago

I think God of War can have a new protagonist and therefor it is possible to have a new trilogy within a different myth and still carry on.

God of War to me is the story about gods from these myths having issues / problems / agendas of their own and humans being pawns in their game for survival and rule. The protagonist could be anyone who has the courage / motivation to go up against them. Naturally, going up against any god in any one of these myths means declaring war on the gods.

Rickgrimes953648d ago

I would like to see god of war 4 with a new character never been a huge fan Kratos

VaporCell3648d ago

Maybe we will see something about "Shadow of the beast"?

elninels3648d ago

Yes! I hope so, no one brings that game up anymore. Who's developing it?

randomass1713648d ago

@Foxtrot

Isn't Heavenly Sword just a God of War clone from the same guys who made that lame DmC game? Honestly I'd rather get the new God of War.

Sevir3648d ago

DmC was awesome and so was HS. I'd take HS2 for the simple fact that that IP hasn't peeked and GOW has, and it's greatly over used and circulated.

I was happy that Stig was working on a new Ip but Sony pulled the plug and that stinks

maniacmayhem3648d ago

@Foxtrot

"...why would he waste his time going against other gods which haven't done anything to him..."

Oh I don't know...maybe because Kratos took out a whole pantheon of Gods and completely ruined the Earth. And maybe these actions have other Gods pretty nervous since they to could be targeted by Kratos if he ran free unchecked.

There are so many directions this series could go. And unlick other series that are pretty exhausted I feel (besides Ascension) GoW has a lot of story and action to tell.

I really do hope they announce a GoW4.

TitanUp3648d ago

want a completely new ip from those guys. too bad their last one got canned.

Jaqen_Hghar3648d ago

God of War needs a reboot. Kratos and the Olympians have had their time and while a man hasn't disliked any of the games they used up the last great villains in Ascension and even that wasn't nearly as good as Zeus. Time for a NORSE game with a THOR AND ODIN AND LOKI AND ASGARD SNAKE AND BALDUR AND EVERYONE ELSE BOSS FIGHT!!!! A man is so excited just thinking about how epic that would be on PS4. Egyptian would be cool but a man just thinks Norse Gods fit the GoW formula great!

mt3648d ago

I want new IP but they always end the god damn god of war with cliffhanger that you want to know what will happen next. I so want new ip and new god of war as well.

XiNarutoUzumaki3648d ago

Omg God of War 4!!

Since the Greek Mythology is done, it could be Egyptian mythology, Arabian, hindu, or even Japanese. I'm looking forward to a new God of War trylogy

I_am_Batman3648d ago

The greek mythology isn't nearly done. There are still so many awesome things they didn't use and since they introduced the primordials with God of War Ascension I can definately see them staying in the greek myth setting.

If they go to a new setting I hope it's norse mythology and it should be an all new game not connected to GoW in any way.

Dudebro903648d ago

The Last Guardian isn't really going to happen. Its vaporware just like Agent.

colonel1793648d ago

The Last Guardian has a higher probability to be shown. They keep working on it, and it's pretty obvious it has been developed for the PS4.

Agent on the other hand, has never existed. They announced a LOGO. Not even a trailer or a teaser. They had the idea, they made negotiation, but I could bet not even one polygon was made for Agent.

randomass1713648d ago

Man oh man I hope we get a PS4 trailer for Last Guardian. I need my ICO trilogy to be completed. :(

MeteorPanda3648d ago

the last guardian is still going to happen. they said they had stopped working on it due to the limitations of the ps3 and that the director was getting shuffled onto other projects. ps4's probably what they've been waiting for :D

Have hope!

Darth_Yoda3648d ago

Waiting for long they did indeed.
Hope we get it ASAP would love to play GOW 4 while i'm waiting for TLG.

choujij3648d ago

Would love another Quantic Dream title and The Last Guardian

mike32UK3648d ago

I'm so excited to see what Quantic have been working on, still holding out hope for a game set around the same theme of the Kara tech demo.

theunleashed643648d ago

If quantic dream's next game is anything like omikron: the nomad soul. I'll start throwing my money at computer screen.

I. Not seeing anything on that list underrated. I never played concrete genie, the ASTRO vr,and one other but I forgot the name already. Nothing on there was underrated at all imo.

darthv72282d ago

Curious to know more about these "plans". I assume many will be expansions (dlc) while they will at some point release a full horizon 3 or maybe even 4.

shinoff2183282d ago

Wasn't there word about a show to at some point I thought I remembered seeing something. 16 is a pretty high number lol. I like the series though , I liked it the most of what Sony brought new on ps4.

Vengeance1138282d ago

Yes, a TV show is in development at Netflix.

S2Killinit281d ago

Netflix or amazon. One of the two.

EvertonFC281d ago

So looking FWD to 3 and see where it takes us

Adrian_v01281d ago

After Forbidden West I'm so fatigued by Aloy I don't need any more sequels tbh.

Ashunderfire86281d ago

Different character in the story perhaps.

Slappy McGee281d ago

It's kind of difficult with the way they have the game set up. Everything is built around her being "the one" and the savior of humanity. They definitely Mary Sued the series into a corner. Unless they come out with the co-op robot hunter game based in their Horizon world that was talked about then there could have somewhere else to go with the series but even then everyone would have to ignore the world dying around them to make it work.

Abear21281d ago

Exploring the detailed biomes was my fav part of the game, especially gliding and (later on) flying, and underwater was amazing too. I’ll explore another open world from GG day one.

Popsicle281d ago (Edited 281d ago )

Agreed. I enjoyed Aloy in Zero Dawn, but the personality she has taken on after becoming “the savior” is in my personal opinion unlikable and unrelatable.

crazyCoconuts282d ago

Here's what I'm ready for: play as a rough dude in the Horizon universe. Less flowery dialog, more Just Cause blowing things up?
Would be a nice change of pace imo

ChasterMies281d ago (Edited 281d ago )

Your “rough dude” game is “Horizon Call of the Mountain on PSVR2”. Great game. A “rough dude” protagonist like the Doom Slayer wouldn’t work for a main Horizon game because the overall story requires the protagonist to be an outside thinker, cerebral, and empathetic enough to build a coalition of allies. It would be like putting Doom Slayer in “Raiders of the Lost Ark. Sure, he’d kill a lot of Nazis, but he would never find the Ark or save anyone.

crazyCoconuts281d ago

I mean, there can be multiple stories in a universe like Horizon. You could put doom slayer in a parallel story involving a horde of corrupted machines led by a mad man as an example.

syrupywaffles281d ago

No thanks. Go play Just Cause for that. Horizon isn't about mindless, blow stuff up, action. The story, dialog and characters of this world are what make it special and Aloy is a fantastic protagonist. Coupled with that, you already have awesome gameplay in fighting amazingly designed robotic enemies (the human enemies, however, need some work). It's perfect the way it is and as long as they keep evolving on their current path, then it'll be wonderful.

Noskypeno281d ago

I would like a fps prequel set before the machines took over.

crazyCoconuts281d ago

Yes! Perfect... With modern weaponry... Great idea!

I love this franchise but Jesus...take a chill pill

Look what happened to Killzone, they got success and it was Killzone, Killzone, Killzone, Killzone, Killzone until eventually the quality slowly dropped, it started to become samey and we just got so fatigued by the Killzone Universe that most lost any excitement for it.

I'd rather they take a break, work on a new IP, get some new ideas going with that game and then when the PS6 comes around as a launch game do Horizon III with all the new fresh ideas you've learnt from the last new IP

Kurt Russell281d ago

I wouldn't mind a new Killzone universe game come of think of it... I'd like to see Playstation create at least 1 FPS this gen.

Vengeance1138281d ago

2 Games in 5 years needs a chill pill? We really haven't gotten all that much for the series. Perhaps you just read too many Horizon articles.

JEECE281d ago

It is crazy how people constantly complain about how games were better and less rushed 10-20 years ago, ignoring the fact that we often used to get sequels to games every two years or so. Now you get a sequel 4-7 years after a game launched and people start screaming about franchise fatigue and how the devs are driving the series into the ground.

-Foxtrot281d ago (Edited 281d ago )

VR game, TV show in the works, the bird game, Horizon III coming, the multiplayer game, they are talking about other things

Come on…this is just the start

Vengeance1138281d ago

@ Foxtrot
"VR game, TV show in the works, the bird game, Horizon III coming, the multiplayer game, they are talking about other things "

Because all those things are coming out this year? What on earth is the bird game? Horizon 3 and the Live service game are many many years away like 2025 or later and the TV show you simply don't have to watch if you don't want to. There are many other franchises that need a bigger chill pill than Horizon. Call of Duty and Assassins Creed being the top 2.

Ashunderfire86281d ago

Horizon 3 will come out on PS5.

FinalFantasyFanatic281d ago

This, don't give people franchise fatigue, I love the games, but if they just keep hammering out more HZD, people are going to get sick of it. I would be up for a Netflix series though as long as it's good, and a new game in a few years would be fine with me.

zaanan281d ago

While this may be true, I thought the death of Killzone was more due their failure to stick to what worked. KZ2 was the best Killzone, but they completely scrapped the feel of that with KZ3, which tried to be a COD clone.

andy85281d ago

You really can't win sometimes though. If a series takes ages between installments people complain this is 2 in 5 years, I don't consider that bad. We got GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas within 3 years, I don't remember anyone complaining then

-Foxtrot281d ago

Development times back then compared to now are completely different

You could wait years for a sequel but there still might not e that many improvements that REALLY sets it apart

Forbidden West was pushing it, it had a few new things but by the end of the game it didn’t really have enough to really set it apart from the first game in terms of features (not graphics, visuals etc).

If we get a third game even if it takes 4 years I don’t know what else they could add in that games setting. They are better off doing a new IP for now and keep the sequel for later.
