Back in early 2011, rumours started fluttering about that the next major God of War title would include online multiplayer. After a job listing was posted on Gamasutra, it seems those rumours have gained new traction.
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.
His concept is blue in the article. The thumbnail is actually protoman I believe... or judge dredd who knows
No, the thumbnail is Mega Man in GoW. There is also a Mega Man Dark Souls and Mega Man Alien variant.
You are right. The artist's page shows he has a bunch of projects called "Mega Man in...." where he takes characters from Mega Man and fits them in to other franchises.
This project is called Mega Man in God of War, but this is totally Proto Man. It even says it on his page.
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
Sad to see out 6votes 1 like new, fresh ideas and 5 want another copy and paste game.
No wonder we get a zillion Battle Royal games but not one shooter thinking outside the BR, MT's, multiplayer formula. Why bother do something new and exciting when "the masses" is happy with clone after clone?! I still have hope some unheard of studio is building away on their own unique game like minecraft, pubg, demons souls did back in their beginning. Rather play something new now and then instead of Assassins Creed #57, Need For Speed #326 or battle royal #1057...
Seems I'm in minority here thinking like this. 😩🤔
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.
After the end of god of war 3,i wouldn't be surprised, if all the titans got some special powers, like a huge mega titan,who would be controling them, along other people. Being too powerful,even for kratos, he would have to combat with Zeus by his side. Kratos and Zeus would have to fight, against and 'over' dozens of titans,like the big one in gow3, in the desert,after mefaistos send him to get the stone. They would have to fight thousands of people,who were now fighting for the titans,who promissed them eternal life,food and soe powers.
Or could it be Athena who would be fighting with kratos? Or maybe kratos wife?
Maybe kratos were poisoned,one day, or drunk, and made a kid with someone. And now people discover the kid his kratos son, and need to be killed, in the past,like terminator and Sarah oconnor...
Sure,these are just some crazy ideas, but an online coop game, sitting in the couch,chatting and playing with a friend,with a video avatar,killing monsters and destroying titans, with coordinated moves, could be awesome.
Santa Monica means quality, and kratos means 20 hours of epic graphics,story,score and blood. This game will be their last one, for ps3,and I would be really happy if they did the same upgrade in quality, as we got with uncharted 1 ---> uncharted 2. I know if there is only 1 MHz left , on the ps3, santa Monica will use it,and display a few more things, on the screen.
Kratos, you're day 1 for me.
