the combat in Control is deeply satisfying imo. you really feel powerful and its slick too.

myfathersbastard1019d ago

Such an underrated game. One of my favs last gen.

ClayRules20121019d ago (Edited 1019d ago )

Oh…how God of War left me in awe of its combat mechanics🤯 And throwing that 🪓 again and again, NEVER gets old😊 Never have I felt more like a complete an utter badass lol. Pardon my language. Well, come to think of it, maybe when I played as Joel in Last of Us, but idk, that’s up for debate haha!

Nod to Control, that has fun combat mechanics.

FreeckyCake1019d ago (Edited 1019d ago )

Could have gone a bit further and checked older games. God Hand had an incredibly addictive combat style imo.

Let's not forget Devil May Cry 5 too!

gamerz1019d ago

I keep watching DMC5 combat videos but always feel like I'm just button mashing.

FreeckyCake1019d ago

It takes a while for you to learn to execute stylish combos. With Devil May Cry 3/4, it took me years of practice

MIDGETonSTILTS171019d ago

I would add:

-Doom Eternal
-DMC5
-Spider-Man (I think they managed to differentiate from the Arkham formula, since they don’t have a “counter” button. And the zip-punch is perfect to keep momentum going)

LordoftheCritics1019d ago

My personal fav combat:

1. Destiny 2
2. Skyforge
3. Control
4. DMC 3
5. BF3
6. Titanfall 2
7. Arkham Series
8. Tekken
9. HL2 series
10. Homeworld series

All for different reasons

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.

Elda11d ago

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

RaidenBlack11d ago

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

PassNextquestion10d ago

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

Nebaku10d ago

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

ravens5211d 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.

jznrpg11d ago

This sounds very interesting. I love a good Metroidvania.

Deathdeliverer11d ago

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

Ex-PlayStation Boss Shuhei Yoshida Pushed for God of War Reboot Delay

Former PlayStation Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida saw God of War as a "problem" when he first played it, and advocated for its delay.

gold_drake67d ago

yea, its also mentioned in the documentary they did about it.

isarai66d ago

Ye, it just wasn't up to their standards, nothing wrong with that imo

Goodguy0166d ago

And it became one of my most favorite games of all time and I still like it more than the sequel.

goken66d ago

Well if a game/movie/project needs fixing, especially something with the legacy that god of war does. Delay and fix it, don’t ruin the legacy by releasing crap.

Babadook766d ago

Way to go.

Like Miyamoto famously said.

“A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.”
