Whenever there’s talk about a free to play game, questions on the business model are sure to follow. While we don’t know precisely how the upcoming PS4 exclusive Drawn to Death will be monetized, Director David Jaffe gave a bit more information about part of the model.
Terri writes: "In a recent video released by the creator of the God of War series, David Jaffe, we can see that Jaffe is not fond of the direction PlayStation took regarding the franchise, and in particular, Kratos himself."
Well, I personally think that Santa Monica did an absolutely phenomenal job with Kratos, showcasing insane character development in all the right ways.
Wasn't Jaffe the one who got stuck on something easy in Metroid Dread and started bashing the game because of it? From what I played of GoW 2018, they actually gave Kratos some much-needed depth. I definitely plan to finally go through the newer entries once my PS5 comes in.
This whole video was essentially him finding comments to back up his own opinion. "It looks like a lot of people think..."
Yeah, well what do the review scores, sales, user scores, and completion rates on the last two say? Anything on that?
People won’t like it I know but he’s entitled to his opinion being the games creator
I totally disagree but it’s not going to ruin the game for us who do like it
Game director David Jaffe reveals that the original God of War 2005 was considered for a first-person viewpoint.
Im very glad it did not end up that way. In first person you would lose the scale the game has. That is something i really appreciate about the GoW games is the immense size and scale of the environments and how the camera zooms out to show it in a much grander view.
One of the unlockables in the original God of War was a first person representation of God of War. A consideration for a spin-off/sequel was presented as a FPS in modern times. The military finds the dead Titan (Chronos I believe) and goes into the mountains where Kratos found Pandora's Box. Very interesting idea and gave me Clive Barker Jericho vibes.
Maybe the Egyptian era for the PS6 would switch to first-person just to keep things fresh
David Jaffe says he doesn’t believe a new game is in the works; “I haven’t heard a thing".
IF a new game is in the works (I hope so), I don't care if Jaffe is part of it or not. There are a lot of talented game directors out there. Twisted Metal might be his baby, but Jaffe isn't a guarantee lock in developing the best version.
Jaffe is all over the place now. Whenever he gets brought up it’s on some weird shit. I wouldn’t blame Sony for leaving him out of the mix even though I still respect his older works.
Well his "revival" of the franchise sucked out loud, so not sure what he expects.
Nickel and diming you in essence? Either way looks great. Can't wait to play. Big fan of arena shooter games with weapon pickups. Wish this wasn't free to play though. But I'll have to give this one a chance.
Wait this is a free to play game? Didn't know that.
And why the XBone tag?
Why the xbox one tag? Kind of confusing.
What he said:
- Almost every weapon can be bought with real or ingame money.
What it means?
- An eternal grind in a game which progress flow is intentionally sabotaged by developers.
Otherwise they wouldn't sell even one weapon for real money. It is good to have almost everything available for ingame credits, but in reality it means the items will be too damn expensive in virtual coins.
Summary: More modern F2P digital garbage.
Will keep waiting for a proper full game.
Awesome, wish them the best and i hope they sell lots of copies. As a consumer i hate these practices and ill be staying far away from this game.
