no surprise... this gen has been 'almost' a total wash for Sony. They has been shifting games to 26. Probably to pad out the eventual release of the PS6, which is also rumored for 26/27.

"They has been shifting games to 26. Probably to pad out the eventual release of the PS6, which is also rumored for 26/27"

Maybe their first crossgen game between PS6 and PS5?

I´m also expecting Cory´s new game to be crossgen at this point, while GT8 to be their first true next gen only game at launch.

neutralgamer19924d ago

Obscure

Everything will be cross generations. There won't be many games which will be just next generation only. As we move forward tech isn't going to give a huge jump when it comes to consoles. So why cut off part of your install base whom are easier consumers to target

We still see games being released on PS4. Sony might be looking at finishing strong going into PS6 with a lot of momentum. In 2026/2027

ND new IP
Sony santa Monica 2 games
Sucker punch 2nd team
Insomniac games wolverine and ratchet and clank

At launch of PS6 we may see Spiderman 3 day one with the console

Eonjay5d ago

How can this game be postponed if it was never announced to be launching in 2025? It hasn't been announced at all in fact.

Mmmkay5d ago

ps6 has never been rumored for 26. lol. where do you get your 'facts' ? this gow game has not been announced either so no one expected a release in 25.

generic-user-name5d ago

I'll be surprised if PS6 is out before 2028, gens get longer and longer and they've no need to rush it with most of their first party yet to reveal their PS5 titles.

How can an unannounced game be delayed?

Jin_Sakai5d ago

Because maybe that was their internal target?

Ganif5d ago

Exactly...

Even if this game exists it obviously never had a 2025 release date since we're halfway through the year and it hasn't even been announced yet.

CrimsonWing695d ago

Man, I wish we could go back to the hood ol’ days of God of War. I totally understand the craft and talent that went into the modern version, but I found them incredibly boring. I love the spectacle and unapologetic visceral and energy of the originals. They were shocking, brutal, and completely bad-ass. Wish we could get back to those days.

gold_drake5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

mhh i dunno, i like the old games, but they were rly just one note.

still very fun tho

Toecutter005d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Hate to break it to you, but we've already had, like, seven GoW games set in Greek mythology. Did you mean Egyptian mythology...in your headline?

gold_drake5d ago

i was about to say this exact thing haha

FernDiggidy4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

wait wait wait wait. Greek Mythology? wtf? Why are why are we going back?

edit: Supposedly it's a spinoff and its metriodvania style????? SIGN ME UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice improvement to the clarity. Really makes everything look less blurry, especially in the distance.

really hope we see more free improvements like this on Switch 1 games.

Jin_Sakai19d ago

First game I played on Switch 2. Much sharper and cleaner image compared to the original.

Cacabunga18d ago

I won’t be able to notice difference unless both versions are side by side

Snookies1219d ago

A lot of games that have no official Switch 2 update already run WAY better just from the hardware itself. It's fantastic getting to play all these games in a much better state. So glad I hardly played any of my Switch collection over the years, lol. This will make experiencing them for the first time so much better.

Levii_9219d ago

A nice resolution upgrade to one of my fav games but i’m still not buying the Switch “2”

darthv7218d ago (Edited 18d ago )

This and Mario/Bowser are ones I will pop in later. I hope other devs offer some patches, like xenon racer on SW1 is 30fps and it really is better at 60.

Goodguy0118d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Great it was 60 frames on switch 1 though. Definitely sacrificed resolution however.

Neonridr18d ago

I mean it targeted 60 on the Switch 1, but it wasn't always solid.

GhostScholar18d ago

I’ll never know why fans let Nintendo get away with not competing graphically and never putting their games on sale.

Chard18d ago

Unfortunately the games are fun. They’ve got us by the balls

GhostScholar18d ago

I’m a fan of their exclusives as well but if the hardware had the same capabilities as the x and ps5 and I could have all the third party stuff plus the Nintendo exclusives it would be my main console

Neonridr18d ago

@GhostScholar - if the Switch 2 had the same capabilities as the X and PS5 it would cost over $1000 and the battery would last for 5 minutes.

And not in a good way! GOW 2018 was not what I was expecting either, and it blew me away! However this is like a popcorn fart in church.

Elda20d ago

I wouldn't mind playing that, I'm guessing somewhat in the vein of Prince Of Persia:TLC but hopefully with better graphics.

RaidenBlack20d ago

Which 2.5D tho?
I think its a top down perspective game.

PassNextquestion19d ago

2.5D can be done in many different ways. It could be as simple as a size scrolling game with 3D backgrounds

Nebaku19d ago

Well it says "Metroidvania". I think you can derive which kind of 2.5D from that.

ravens5220d ago

🤔 Interesting. Nothing wrong with switching it up to a different genre of game for a side project. Hope they don't try to do that to a main entry.

jznrpg20d ago

This sounds very interesting. I love a good Metroidvania.

Deathdeliverer20d ago

Actually sounds good as hell in my imagination. Definitely interested.
