What We Want From God of War: Ragnarok

WTMG's Jason Palazini: "God of War: Ragnarok might still be twelve to eighteen months away, but that won't stop us from dreaming about what's to come."

[UnSelf]

Thanos vs Thor

i meant Kratos* vs Thanos

[CaptainHenry916]

Unself vs Kratos I would love to see that

[DEEHULK88]

I want it on PS4

[ClayRules2012]

Not me. I want it on PS5 only.

[MajorLazer]

No thanks. I'm done with the PS4.

[Mister_G]

Only if it is designed for PS5 and they squeeze it into PS4. This transition period means lots of games will be cross gen. It was same when PS4 launched.

[DEEHULK88]

It needs to be on PS4

[solideagle]

It will be on PS4 I think, no way Sony can ignore 110+ million PS4 users.
I would want it to be from ground up for PS5 but it would be Sony's decision

[NEXUS-6]

The reason GOW has been developed so quickly is they probably didn't need to worry about too many development tricks to get things to work.

If it was on PS4 it would take a lot longer I'd assume.

[DEEHULK88]

Or the other way around with it being a upgraded PS4 game.

[Hellcat2020]

I think it'll be same engine just bumped up to native 4k and 60fps
I'm not expecting much difference in graphics or gameplay
And I will be fine with that
I loved the story and that's what matters to me

[DEEHULK88]

It going to be on ps4 the same way Horizon will be on PS4. How can Gow be scheduled to come out around the same time as Horizon not be on ps4 when Horizon is? They don't want to get the babies mad.

[NEXUS-6]

Who said its coming put around the same time?

We have a logo for one and a cinematic trailer for the other.

Which is coming first?

I'd expect HFW 1st or 2nd quarter and GOW 4th quarter.

DEEHULK88

I know they said 2021 but I fully expect GOW to be out by Q2 2022. And by even fall 2021 ps5 will be 20+ million sold and GOW will move a lot of hardware so don't assume a lot of stuff

I don't know why people are surprised that sony is supporting ps4. They did the same with ps2 when they released God of war, they did the same with ps3 when they released TLOU and now they are doing the same with ps4. Sony supports their outgoing console for a bit after new one has been released

[DEEHULK88]

Neutralgamer you tell me not to assume and you assume that they will have 20 million sold by fall

[NEXUS-6]

You've all gotta remember by late 2021 Sony expects to have 20 million or so PS5's out in the wild.

Imagine a GOW PS5 exclusive game releasing early December = MASSIVE Christmas sales for PS5.

Makes sense to me.

[Sprucegoose77]

Could happen but Sony is famous for delaying their big games. I'm not sour about it. I will happily wait if it means my money gets me an amazing product that is super polished!

[jznrpg]

The only thing different I want is more enemy variety besides that the game was amazing

[JimmyDM90]

More enemy variety is my #1 request. It might be a minority opinion but I’d also like a slightly more lively overworld (with the theme of Ragnarok it’s unlikely, I know) But there were times in the first game where I wished there were more npcs or wildlife to interact with as the game could often feel like a ghost town.

[Ausbo]

I just hope it’s a full fledged sequel rather than a smaller experience

[i3eyond the Circle]

I don’t think this is releasing 2021. Hope it does tho.

[Clover904]

I want to be surprised. Don't just give fans what they think they want. Deliver things the fans don't even know that they want.

[goldwyncq]

Like Kratos dying by Thor’s hammer at the beginning and Atreus taking over as the playable character, as we follow him on his journey to avenge his father? Then maybe in the second half of the game, we’ll get to play as Thor as he pets wolves and take care of another child to show that he’s not such a bad guy after all.

[Mister_G]

It may play out like The Last of Us Part 1, start off controlling Kratos and then something happens and you control boy.

[Inverno]

I want Kratos to tell Atreus about Calliope

[Sprucegoose77]

This game is not coming out in 2021. I know the teaser trailer listed it as so but it's not going to happen. Sony will want this to be a master piece and will delay it in to 2022!

[Mister_G]

Depends when development started I suppose. It might have been in development a long time. The voice actor who plays Atraeus is 15 or 16 now, voice may be broken so they may have recorded all his dialogue already. Don't know if he will have aged much in the next game... Do half god half humans age at same rate as mear mortals(?), dunno.

[Sprucegoose77]

Some fair and interesting points but I do still see this coming out in early 2022. It's just a guess given Sony's track record with delays I'm calling 2022. I don't see delays as bad things when they are with in reason. God of War on PS4 was pushed back. God of War 3 was pushed back. Uncharted 4 was pushed back. The Last of US 2 was pushed back. All of those games were amazing and well worth the extra time. Sony has no problem with pushing a release back and I support them if it means a better product! These games can cost into over 100 million to produce. They want their money to be well spent and put out a product that people will buy. Delays are common.

[DaniMacYo]

I want it on N64!

[TheColbertinator]

Steam version would be nice 👍

[chiefJohn117]

A bigger variety of enemies

[Critic4l_Strik3]

I want them to explain how exactly Kratos made it from Greece to Norway right after GOW3

[Mister_G]

Walked? :)

[Critic4l_Strik3]

either that, or he was teleported, dragged, swam, carried, took a boat, or was washed ashore

[Mister_G]

BOY! The thing I really liked about the previous game was the dialogue between the main characters. It added an extra dimension to the story and combat. I'm hoping they can include this sort of thing in the next game.

[Einhander1971]

As much as I love the new direction of GOW. I still preferred the originals, especially the epic boss battles. I felt the open exploration diluted the experience a little. Hey but thats my opinion.

[Shezgear]

More Trolls with more variety. Large forrests. And ofcourse Odin and Thor.

[Germaximus]

More bosses. Larger variety of enemies. More fluid combat. And how about some blood this time around?
