PS4 Exclusive God of War Gets Absolutely Gorgeous Gameplay Trailer at E3 2017; Coming Early 2018

Sony unveils more of Kratos' new adventure in the cold north, and it looks fantastic.

[darthv72]

Cant wait.

[BiggerBoss]

Gameplay looks sick. I was afraid it would be too much of a departure from the originals, but it looks like a perfect evolution to me.

[FATAL1TY]

CGI QUALITY

Incredible Atmosphere

True Exclusive

Fatality!

[UCForce]

Yup, I knew I can trust Cory Barlog.

[_-EDMIX-_]

I think it fits right at home with the God of War narrative and mythology and I definitely like the tone of Kratos being a bit different and a little more human but I also love that they still show the absolute brutal barbaric Savage nature of him absolutely gutting dudes and cutting them in half!!!!

What they showed looked so much more epic than what I was expecting this is literally looking like it's shaping to be one of the best action games of all time!!!

[4Sh0w]

Loved what the are doing with GOW, I also really liked Spiderman, the rest was fine but the VR stuff bored me. In the end I was a little underwhelmed. I thought for sure they were going to have at least one of those "WOW" moments or at least a new exclusive IP announcement. 'meh both conferences lacked that gut punch....worst E3 in years imo.

Scale of 1-10
Sony 7
Microsoft 5

@4show

MS a 5? It was a solid 6 to me, they did learn from the past, more game trailers, less talking. Still had a few cringey moments like that eports commentator. Also multiplayer scripted gameplay is always a little yuck in my eyes. Also Sea of Thieves took a tad too long, looked great tho, but they should've halved it. I expected way, way more (console) exclusive tho, they only showed 5 of them of which only Lucky Tales was unexpected, 3 were from previous years and new Ori which expected to come. Also not a fan of the not quite clear messaging they did with timed exclusives by calling them "launch exclusives", was unnecessary to make it sound like they have more exclusives than they actually had. And not something I expected them to be able to do, but at least I expected them to try somewhat: they didn't blow me away with reasons to get a One X. It's hard to see the visual differences on a console that isn't released yet with games that aren't out yet either.

Sony disappointed me quite a bit as well, it was short, way shorter than expected and only 2 new games (besides the VR ones) announced, the rest we've already seen before. I think they are trying to announce games a little later than they usually do, still I would have liked to see them now already! Let's hope they have something to show at PSX (or GamesCom, Paris, Tokyo) but past years they seemed to have shown most of their stuff during E3 so I'm not expecting much at those other shows.

Was kinda sad I stayed up for Sony's pressco! (was 3am my time)

[4Sh0w]

Agreed Aenea,

I'm just harder on Microsoft because they had more to prove coming in as a longtime Xbox fan it was lacking. Anthem was hands down my favorite of E3, that's the caliber of game Microsoft's 1st party should have had to show off.

[GottaBjimmyb]

i actually hate the god of war series, always been a button mashing, graphics showcase. However, I can say without question, this new game looks absolutely amazing.

[Aenea]

I don't hate them, but wasn't a huge fan either, this new one tho looks to be my type of game for sure!

[hulk_bash1987]

So hyped, God of War has been one of my favorite game series of all time. This, Spiderman and Days Gone look so freaking amazing. Just like this year, 2018 is gonna be an amazing year for PS4.

[Ninver]

God of war looks fantastic. Also GTSPORT is a fall 2017 release. This holiday will be megaton!

[_-EDMIX-_]

Did GT Sport even get a trailer?

Where they strapped for time?

I feel like they held back a lot of announcements probably for PlayStation experience which I thought they might do but I never expected them to have some of their Blockbuster titles skip a press event

Maybe they have plans to only show stuff like the last of us 2 at Playstation experience

[luckytrouble]

GT Sport was in the media showcase that happened an hour before the actual press conference. There were a few smaller announcements packed in that hour that most people didn't see because they thought all the information was in the actual press conference.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Really? that sucks I actually really really wanted to see the latest trailer.

I wish I knew that because I actually would have watched the hour before to see some of those trailers

[rainslacker]

I was more surprised at all the stuff Sony didn't show really.

While a decent conference because it had a good showing of games, with some of the VR stuff lulling there in the middle, it seems Sony actually held back a lot this E3. Considering how they wen't full throttle the last two E3's, I think I set my expectations pretty high for this one.

SOTC, more GOW gameplay, Spider-man Game play were the highlights for me. But I can say that the new gameplay footage of Days Gone made me interested instead of waiting to see more.

I fully expected Sucker Punch's new IP, so that was the biggest disappointment.

Games mostly looked great though. No need for 4K IMO, and it's funny that people think 4K will trounce what Sony just showed in some of those games.

[BlackTar187]

they saw MS underwelm and put them into psx.

[Edito]

I felt the same but i think they played the Microsoft game, if MS had showed more interesting AAA games i have no doubt that Sony would have shown the big guns, i think they held back... but it was amazing even so...

[Jaypi03]

Glad to see it's coming sooner than later, something to look forward to for my birthday.

[MSF89]

Xbox won this year sorry sony

[UCForce]

Nope, I think Ubisoft win this year. But at least, Sony show true exclusive.

[Aenea]

Ubi surprised me a lot this year, yes!

[Star51]

With multiplats and indies? Sit at the serious table please

[Razzer]

LOL

[DialgaMarine]

Yeah, $500 for a Netflix box that plays Minecraft in 4K.. Hold me back...

[Dark_Knightmare2]

lol thanks for the laugh if anybody won it was Ubisoft with Sony coming in second. Ms conference was seriously average which is why you've seen nothing but negative articles about it since yesterday

[Elit3Nick]

Lolno, I'm a MS guy (don't own PS4, pretty much all PC now), but MS's conference was mediocre, with an over-reliance on indies and too little shown for Crackdown and State of Decay 2. Still, this doesn't excuse the absolutely cancerous trolling by this site's PS fanbase (not implying MS fanboys aren't doing the same like this guy here), but seriously people, grow the f*** up.

[Aenea]

And not ONE single Indie during Sony's pressco, that was surprising to say the least....

Crackdown's no MP gameplay was a silly decision, not sure why they didn't show it...

[Bhuahahaha]

yeah enjoy your minecraft 4k!

[classic19]

Got of war spiderman and Detroit. They are my must have 4me. This e3 was weak compared to sony other showings. But they won e3 overall with them 3 games alone. 2018 going be great for owning a ps4 just like this year has. Hzd dlc also cant wait.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Don't forget Shadow the Colossus remake!!!

Don't forget they also announced two new IPs

The inpatient
Bravo team

Both by the developer that created Until Dawn

[LOGICWINS]

Days Gone actually looked more interesting to me than God of War. Spiderman looked phenomenal. Then we have TLOU 2 coming out as well. I'm fine with those three Western games for 2018.

I prefer JRPGs to any other genre, so Tokyo Game Show is my E3. Yakuza 6, Shenmue 3, Danganronpa V3 etc.

[rainslacker]

I dunno, I"m digging the direction GOW is taking. LIke that they are tying the old and the new together, and I think this kind of story direction is what the series needed. The story in the prior games, while decent enough, lacked a lot of depth IMO.

But I can say that the Days Gone game play did make me go from "wait and see"(not big on zombie games), to interested, because it seems like it's going to have a real story, and some interesting game play.

[Elit3Nick]

This whole E3 has been weak in comparison to the last few years, Sony and Ubi's conferences would be considered average overall, but sadly everyone else simply had mediocre showings. EA focused too much on Sports games, Bathesda didn't have anything of impact like last year, and MS had a woeful lack of exclusives, with the few they had having little gameplay.

[UCForce]

Yeah, Ubisoft and Sony has a solid show, but overall this year it doesn't feel special. It's like E3 2012 over again.

[SoldierTypeNtGen]

Yeah and dont for get about days gone, shadow of the colossus & uncharted the lost legacy!!

[VsAssassin]

Guys, guys, PSX is confirmed for this year on December 9 and 10! I am saying this because I am guessing we'll get solid release dates for God of War and Days Gone on their main conference there.

On-topic: I love it that there's a touch of humor and groundedness in this GoW reboo-quel. That elfish man in armor, the one Kratos missed fire with his axe, I am loving already. His son is also an interesting addition to Kratos' story. I can't wait to learn about their story and how it evolves as you play.

Impressive conference, though it's a bummer that that From Software rumored game was nowhere to be found. Whelp, PSX it is!

[yankolo]

Only good game i saw was this and horizon..
Xbox beat sony.

[UCForce]

Even I'm PS fanboy, I think Ubisoft win this E3 and Sony take second places.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Agree

[_-EDMIX-_]

I actually agree Ubisoft at a lot of big megatons like Beyond Good & Evil 2 and a huge triple IP with skull and bones

Sony had 2 new IPs with the inpatient and bravo team but they're nowhere near as interesting as skull and bones in regards to the Triple-A territory.

I would say I would probably purchase more games that was shown by Sony as the publisher in regards to the inpatient, shadow of the Colossus remake clearly Spider-Man, God of War ,Detroit and Days Gone

But I would still buy the Assassins Creed game coming out this fall in Beyond Good & Evil 2 but I'm not to sure about Skull and Bones as I just don't really see me getting into that type of multiplayer game

But clearly I have a bias because I tend to lean towards single player Concepts, that being said I would definitely say Ubisoft had the better press event because of their new announcements , even if their titles that I don't really see myself actually playing.

Sony as a publisher showed more games that I definitely see me buying, but even with Ubisoft having less games that I actually want I definitely could recognize that they had a much more explosive showing.

They really needed this and they did a great job people are going to be talking about that Beyond Good and Evil 2 reveal for a long time.

[LOGICWINS]

@Edmix-I want to like Origins, but combat looks so clunky. The visuals look subpar as well.

[UCForce]

Well, at least Sony have real exclusive.

[UCForce]

@SithSauron So do you.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Lol ok too bad Uc lost legacy,Detroit,days gone and Spider-Man all look amazing and best of all like gow and horizon frozen wild their all exclusive. Meanwhile ms showed nothing but timed indies, another annual entry in forza,crackdown 3 for like the third e3 and doesn't look impressive at all and a mp sea of thieves which does actually look pretty good but other then that ms conference was average which is what the general consensus from gamers and critics has been

[Darkfist_Flames]

If only the Blades of Chaos was used with this kind of gameplay :(

[Relientk77]

This looked sick

[Gman32]

I got to give it to sony their e3 was way better then microsoft e3 sony also show upcoming psvr games 3 of which im looking forward to only downside is god of war,spiderman, coming next year i was hoping of them would come out this year

[LOGICWINS]

Days Gone not coming out this year was disappointing, but you have to consider what Sony put out this year. Nioh, Nier, Persona 5, Horizon, Lost Legacy, Crash Bandicoot, Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, Ni No Kuni 2, Gravity Rush 2, Danganronpa V3. 2016 is already full. I didn't even mention Matterfall which comes out in the summer.

[Gman32]

Yeah sony probably watch microsoft e3 and decided to push back any new announcement they had up their sleeves incase microsoft had showed some tripleA ips games at their e3

[Kingdomcome247]

Easily one of my most highly anticipated games in my gaming career thus far. Santa Monica truly infused the series with an awe inspiring breath of fresh air. I foresee this being the best God of War to date, and quite possibly one of the greatest games of all time period.

[DeadSilence]

OMG Sony God of War looks amazing!

[OMGitzThatGuy]

E3 2016 REMASTERED

[UCForce]

Well, at least they have real exclusive.

[Bladesfist]

Weren't they all slated for next year?

[kfk]

Cuphead, Crackdown 3 and Sea of Thieves: E3 2016 and E3 2015 REMASTERED.

[Jamaicangmr]

I felt so emotional i love God of War and Jesus this game looks amazing. It seems like a more emotionally driven story and i can't wait. I can not wait Santa monica you guys are amazing.

[UltimateRacer]

Can't wait for this epicness to arrive.

[ninsigma]

I am mad excited for this. The showing was great and I like that it seems to have deeper story telling. The best thing about it is that it keeps the frantic and violent combat of old while bringing it forward to current gen and pushing it forward in a really natural way. There's some really slick new stuff in there but at it's core, God of War is still there.

[Sevir]

Remarkable how this will look in the on the Pro

[showtimefolks]

Yes sir can't wait to play this

[TheOttomatic91]

"I never thought a game could look this good" is what I said when I saw God of War 3 never thought I'd say it again for a game in the same franchise for newer hardware.

[Blu3_Berry]

Man everything is coming in 2018. Can't wait for this, looks so good.

[UCForce]

It's come out in early 2018.

[kenwonobi]

I felt their VR presentation alone beat Microsoft. Whatever. It's not like Metro and Anthem are exclusives for Xbox.

[Bladesfist]

I'm more excited for multiplats than any of the exclusives this E3. Anthem, Beyond good and evil 2, Metro exodus, Xcom expansion, skull and bones, Egypt creed., Cuphead. So many great games.

[Silly gameAr]

Going to be so sick. I can't wait.

[Hardiman]

Even on my horrible laptop this game looked amazing! My wife even said how great it looked. The date on the billboard was photo shopped so no fall release but that's cool as I'll have GT Sport, Crash, Assassins Creed, Wallenstein and others to keep me busy but next year is gonna be gang busters!

[MrJay]

Day One!

[medman]

Another Sony masterpiece incoming....what a treat for the senses.

[Einhander1971]

Like I said it's about the GAMES!! Not just tech, PS4 has both.

[daBUSHwhaka]

Stunning....

[DevilishSix]

Looked like a visual downgrade from when we saw it last year.

[Inzo]

For the first time since reveal the new GOW has peaked my interest. And to think this is done on a standard PS4.

[shammgod]

Yes!

[Imalwaysright]

New graphics king on the PS4. The graphical detail in this game is absolutely mindboggling.

[FernDiggidy]

Gem

[GoodnessGreatness]

Now this is what you call true power. How can people be excited for xbox one x when it can't even have games like this?
