A bold, risky new direction for God Of War series have paid off.

ClayRules20121962d ago (Edited 1962d ago )

God of War, just kicking some serious butt in 2018. Love it.

The last few years for Sony exclusives has just been incredible.

2016 we saw the release of the highly anticipated Uncharted 4: A Theif’s End. What a huge success that game was. A more grounded/personal story, with performances that are “in my opinion” the best in the series for Drake, Elena & Sully. Love Sam too. Overall, just a touching send off for Nathan Drake.

2017’s HZD really blew so many people away with its interesting & strong female character Aloy, along with a very well told story. Refreshing and oh so fun combat, fighting all those different types of Robo Dinosaurs. To it’s simply stunning/gorgeous open world, with the most amazing lighting system, use of colors, and that insane dense foliage, it was just the complete package for 2017 “in my opinion”

2018 brought us God of War, again. Only this time, it was in a different light/direction for the series. New everything across the board. It was risky & ambitious (one shot camera) along with bringing real depth to this know and loved character. I appreciate & applaud SSM for adding depth and emotion to him. A real masterpiece/work of art in visuals and overall game design etc...

I can’t wait for a sequel for God of War. Expectations are gonna be through the roof.

A Theif's End was incredible and I loved the more intimate approach and one of my favorite parts was when Nate, Sully and Sam walk into the hotel room to find Elena there. They've been chasing their past glories and he has been lying to his wife. She's looking at what they've been up to and as she turns, the look on her face was so impactful!

HZD had that same level of style but in an open world and I'm still impressed with what GG did with it. The story just drew me in from the beginning with a little Aloy and I had to find out what her story was and that last shot, all I can say is "WOW!"

Then they go and deliver GOW and boy did they deliver! I've sang its praises since the credits rolled but it is simply a game everyone should experience at least once! It deserves all the accolades it's receiving and I wonder what great experiences Sony has slated for 2019! Happy New Year man!

ClayRules20121961d ago (Edited 1961d ago )

Very well said. Yes, that more intimate approach is something i wanted since after Uncharted 3. That scene especially just hits hard. Drake’s lying really hurt her, and you just feel it.

Yeah, Guerrilla struck gold & really did their homework wirh Horizon. Wow indeed! What an experience. Loved Aloys story.

Your right, God of War absolutely deserves it! I wanna play it again & take more photos in photo mode.

2019 will be another great one for Sony & gamers on PS4! Thank you, Happy New Year to you too bud!

TGGJustin1962d ago

At least their readers got it right.

UCForce1961d ago

You can say that. I do like Red Dead Redemption 2 but the game have some problems that just feel outdated and annoying like the control (which is fine for me) feel too slow for some people and the survival element can feel frustrating and the story do have some pacing issues like Chapter 5 which feel out of place.

bigmalky1961d ago

Definite GotY. Happy New Year all, btw. May it be a good one for you all.

Wallstreet371961d ago

Happy New Years to you as well. Happy 2019 gaming, hopefully we get the new console reveals.

They gotta do better on the premium side for sure. Where are any of those jrpgs from the ps1 Era. Come on Sony.

jznrpg13h ago

Most of the Sony JRPGS have been released. Square has a ton that could be ported over but they would need Squares involvement.

VenomUK12h ago

Crime Boss! I know it hasn't reviewed well but I love the eighties action movie vibe of the trailer but didn't want to risk any money on it so this is a great way for me to play it.

outsider162413h ago

Looking at this list, i gotta ask what is even the point of premium?

raWfodog13h ago

I'm good with just my PS+ Essential

GamerRN9h ago

I have premium, and I'm also wondering why I have it

Xeofate8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

I think there are a ton of good games on Premium, and don't sleep on the movie collection if you like 90's and 2000's movies, the selection is stacked with classics and gets updated pretty regularly.

Abnor_Mal12h ago

G-Police is a game I have fond memories of and will definitely download to replay. I remember controlling your helicopter was a bit difficult and would make my hand cramp having to press all the shoulder buttons to go up and down and I think yaw left and right.

The next game they should add to Classics is Colony Wars, and I wouldn’t mind replaying Nightmare Creatures. I’d also like to replay Black, PSI Ope: The Mindgate Conspiracy.

Redgrave7h ago

Nightmare Creatures, Deathtrap Dungeon, Urban Chaos

MrBaskerville8h ago

G-Police is nice. But might be among the hardest games I've ever played.

Bathyj6h ago

G Police.
I almost want to upgrade for that.

But let's face it, there's no way the game has held up.

DarXyde1h ago

2Xtreme was the first game I ever bought for PS Plus (I still have the PS1 version somewhere).

Game is awful, but it's stupid fun. Like Thrasher: Skate and Destroy.

Man.... Premium has been a massive letdown but this is the only month they don't have a single thing for me. Oh well. I've gotten my money's worth so far and still need to finish up Rebirth and Rise of the Ronin then I'll hop back in to Relink and Helldivers after that.

Petebloodyonion11h ago

RDR2 is a win for Sony and Crime boss is a good fit to help promote a struggling game
but we're far from what was removed this month (including Horizon Zero Dawn)
https://www.pushsquare.com/...

crazyCoconuts11h ago

Yeah I was hoping burning shores would have been added now that it's a year old vs. the base game being removed.
I wouldn't be surprised if both MS and PS continue to either walk back the quality of games in the sub services or increase the price, since it's now clearer to them how cannibalistic these services are

isarai7h ago

The game deserves to struggle, it's garbage

Petebloodyonion4h ago

Indeed it's bad but it does offer incredible Hollywood star power so for free it might draw a crowd while giving a boost to this game.
Just remember Fallout 76 was the biggest turd and yet there are now tons of ppl playing it.

JL29305h ago

How is a 6 year old game a win for anything? Anyone who cares has already played it.

Petebloodyonion4h ago

Simply because ppl do play it!
As much as I don't like it GTA V always managed a boost of ppl when it was offered on Game Pass or PS+.
NOW RDR 2 was never offered on a subscription service.
Again the point isn't about will hardcore gamers play the game because we already played it. it's about having a huge star power game never offered on service that will make casual ppl subscribe to it.

Breathe, Octopath Traveler Is Available To Purchase On The Switch eShop Again

Last month, the beloved JRPG Octopath Traveler was banished forthwith from the Kingdom of the Switch eShop. Okay, if you'll excuse the dramatics, it was temporarily delisted with no official explanation as to why. Well the good news is that it's back, as confirmed by Square Enix itself.

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein28d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

exputers27d ago

I see what you did there.

Yi-Long27d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius27d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

Demetrius27d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh
