this is my most anticipated game of next year. I have a feeling that everyone whos making those dante and kratos comparisons will realize how silly they where once this game comes out. I can't wait for them to show more gameplay sometime this month.

steck675235d ago

What's more silly are those Bayonetta and Kratos comparisons lol

Sunny_D5235d ago

Please, Bayonetta is one of Krato's ho's! That's why pimp slaps every night. :P

Blaster_Master5235d ago

The only ones that are making that statement are you know what fanboys.

shutupandplay5235d ago

When can we expect that new gameplay anyway?

Bathyj5235d ago (Edited 5235d ago )

I played the Bayonetta demo. I wasnt enjoying it that much at all, but it wasnt until the movie near the end I realised how childish and gamelike the whole thing sounded.

Corny dialouge and resident evil quality voice acting just sucked away what little immerssion I was feeling and quickly reminded me I was playing game, and one aimed at teenagers.

Thats not neccessarily a bad thing but when you see a movie out of GoW it immediately strikes you how mature it is, and how well acted. I know its just a cut scene but that sort of production value carries throughout the whole game and its so much better because of it. You give it so much more attention and credit as you watch/play it. Bayonetta just made me cringe after that.

Thats one of the reasons I cant go back to a lesser game and enjoy it. I'm too dam spoilt now.

sinncross5235d ago (Edited 5235d ago )

I cant believe but if take a look at this screen:
http://comicrelated.com/gra...

Now in Greek mythology (and I honestly cant remember their names) there is this god/ goddess who is a group of devoted servants being women. And they are under some sort of influence whereby they apparently kill anyone who comes near them when under the ecstasy or something bizarre.

Ill try to find out the name but I think they may be in GOW3. I just need to figure out what god/ goddess they worship. Regardless, could be an awesome fight.

I think it may the Cult of Dionysus (god of wine) which some believe was only attended by Women. They would get drunk/ have orgies and then go around capturing animals and kill then. im pretty sure that if someone was to stumble upon their ritual, that they would turn on that person.

Both requels over 2 and 3? Clowns. Those are two of the most boring games I've ever played.

Snookies12181d ago

GoW 3 was amazing, but I personally hated just one thing. (This is on me alone, because I was dumb, lol.) I hated that you couldn't skip cutscenes on repeat playthroughs. I had to go back through the game a third time because I missed one trophy accidentally on my way to the platinum... The cutscenes were great the first go round, even the second... But the third was pretty agonizing.

Haven't played Ragnarok, but I still think GoW 4 is a wonderful game in its own right. Not sure how I would stack them up against each other honestly.

Monstieur181d ago (Edited 181d ago )

I don't consider the reboot part of the original series. The original series were high-skill games with combos and rewards for mixing things up.

solideagle180d ago

lol square, square and triangle is the only combo you needed. I have played all of them on the hardest difficulties...

Golfcoachh181d ago

Maybe I’m just old school but I just couldn’t get into the last two. Maybe it’s the slower action and more story telling but the original trilogy was by far my favorite.

Crows90181d ago

It's not that youre old school. They're different genres

JL2930180d ago (Edited 180d ago )

Me either, at all. It's just yap yap yap. They try to be a RPG's instead of being action games like they used to be.

Fluke_Skywalker180d ago

I'd put the two psp games over 3 in terms of story any day. But not over 2.

TheEnigma313181d ago (Edited 181d ago )

My favorite was part 2 and I think Ragnarok is better that 2018.

Shane Kim181d ago

The newer games are better imo.

ravens52181d ago

There is no worst. Except for Ascension, only cause I didn't play it lol. They are all masterpieces. 1,2,3, 2018 and Ragnarok. 1 of, if not the greatest video game franchise...besides MetalGear.

Snookies12181d ago

Oh wow, I actually forgot that Ascension even existed... I never played it either.

Crows90181d ago

I like ascension. It was different and some interesting combat additions.

darthv72181d ago

If you didnt play it, how could you call it the worst? Its not as bad as the media portrayed it. Honestly the worst are those flash games. they arent even considered true GoW games but in name only. At least Ascension is a real GoW game.

ravens52180d ago

Not saying it's a terrible game. Just mean it's at the bottom of my list. I played a little bit of it. Jus to me, compared to the other main games, it's last.

Fluke_Skywalker180d ago

Ascension is the only GOW game I never finished. Hated it.

Inverno181d ago

Can't agree, older games do so much more than the last two. More weapons, magic abilities, enemies are more varied, level design is also more aesthetically pleasing, and agree with those who say that they shouldn't have removed jumping. Was a time I'd agree, but those old games are so so much better, that they really should've looked into bringing into the reboot/sequels.

Crows90181d ago (Edited 181d ago )

If a game is good then a game is good. Doesn't matter what came before or what comes after.

Inverno181d ago

Of course it matters. If not for what what came before there wouldn't be an after. And if something is great before then you strive to make it just as good if not better, after. I personally don't think there's a fair way to judge the new with the old because the newer games are still essentially a reboot, and went a way different direction. But I still believe the old games did it better. I'm probably bias though since I've been going back to old games and have been finding that they lack all the annoying aspects that devs have shoehorned into new games to fluff out game time.

Crows90180d ago

@Inverno

Im not talking about the passage of time here. Im talking about individual pieces of software. If a game is good then it is good. Thats not a controversial statement. You can compare good with good...sure. But you still end up with good. Now if there is a bad game in the mix and you compare you do end up with some differentials between them...makes sense to compare and see where it went wrong.

But theyre different genres and styles which were individually executed very well.

And no. The new games are not a reboot. Theyre a new direction but simply a continuation.
Tomb raider was a reboot.

Inverno180d ago

The new games are definitely a reboot, and a continuation, it can be both which it is. And a good game might be good, but my point is that if there are things done better before it then there's plenty of room for critiquing and trying to make whatever comes after better rather than just good.

God of War 3 Remastered Has Sold 4 Million Copies To Date

God of War 3 Remaster has sold 4 million copies since its inception, making the franchise PlayStation's most profitable gamer merch brand.

purple101342d ago

Haha I still remember my brother playing the opening scene on ps3!!!

Yeh he had to put the controller down his heart was beating too fast trying to get past first 10 minutes. He said "it's too much". Best thing I've ever seen in gaming. Haha

robtion342d ago

A great game from an era before things went politically correct and gaming turned serious/'mature'.

It certainly wasn't concerned about upsetting or offending anyone and was more fun because of it.

The boss battles and set pieces still top most games released today.

SullysCigar342d ago

This game was absurdly good for it's time. The very definition of 'epic'.

robtion342d ago

Yes. The graphics were just ridiculous compared to most other games on the market at the time.

masterfox342d ago

I wished Ascension had the same treatment.

Heavenly King342d ago

Ascension SP had some things better than GOW3, and also some things worst than GOW3. But in general it was a really good game, for me it also deserves a REMASTER. The problem per se with the game is that most people were satisfied on how GOWIII ended, so Kratos got his revenge, so in order to rise the interest in the game how have to make it MORE EPIC is that the game did not had the epicness of fighting huge bosses (I guess due to technical difficulties,the game had actually a lot more colors (because the world is not dying like in GOWIII) so it is graphically more demanding that is my guess), but it compensated with having in general a more complex combat system, and an amazing soundtrack. but in general the game needed to be more epic than GOWIII somehow, and that did not happened, after GOWIII people had expectations through the roof. They should have waited and release it for PS4 so the vision of the game is not compromised.

My list of good and bad compared to GOWIII

GOOD: THE COMBAT
The combat was more elaborated, which allows you to be more immersed in the fights. Also every enemy was more resistant, even those that you could usually kill in 2-3 attacks in previous games. THE LAST BOSS is so damn epic!!!, but there is only one moment like this in the whole game.

GOOD: LESS QTEs
I love the fact that "cicle" in the new enemies (killing animations) are not QTEs, in Ascension they are mini-games on their own, depending on the enemy, making it more engaging. You had to dodge and hit when the window was open in order to eventually do the killing blow.

GOOD: The Soundtrack
it has the orginal trilogy musics, but with a new perspective since the game had a new composer. The ST was amazing also the new music written specifically for this game were badass

GOOD: The puzzles actually require you to think.

BAD: There are bad camera angles during the game, like zooming way too out of vista, and then swarming you with "light units" that like I said before had better AI and did not die of 2 attacks. those parts a few, but are a mess.

BAD: EMPTY ARENAS
Other thing that really annoyed me is that when you fight a sub-boss/heavy unit in a big arena; that ARENA WAS EMPTY, it was just you and against the medusa, or against the manticore. They should have zoom in into the action to avoid noticing the void scenario. I guess emptiness was because of the game having a lot more colors (because the world is not dying like in GOWIII) so it is graphically more demanding. My guess is that it was not possible technically, since in most of those cases you had huge vistas or intricate scenarios that needed to be rendered. The fact that the cerberus is smaller in this game disappointed me.

BAD: Only one BADASS EPIC moment, the others moments of the game were great but, they needed to set the bar even higher than GOWIII and they failed miserably.

BAD: The graphics did not improved much. I was GOWIII with more colors, and that's it.

So 4 good things against 4 bad ones. The problem is those 2 last BAD aspects are actually why the game was received so poorly. Everyone expects the next game to have a really BIG improvement in all aspects in contrast to the previous one, and that was not the case in ascension. And also GOW is the definition of EPIC, and that was not there neither. The jump on every aspect from GOWI to GOWII was huge being on the same console, and the jump from GOWII to GOWIII was humongous (obviously because a more powerful console). While the jump from GOWIII to Ascension is too little, and people expected more.

On it's own is a good game; but is not sufficient when GOWIII was released before it.

CrimsonWing69342d ago

I know this is unpopular opinion, but I prefer these over the new ones. I’m not saying the new ones are bad or anything, but they sort of get boring to me, whereas the older games were like non-stop roller coaster rides.

ChiefofLoliPolice342d ago

I love the new ones but I understand what you mean. The older ones had more action and was more arcady like.

MIDGETonSTILTS17342d ago

Ragnarok was not BIG at all… GoW1 had larger set pieces, and it was on ps2.

GoW 2018 had big moments in its own way…. Ragnarok abandoned these aspects though

robtion342d ago

I agree. It was just less serious and more fun.

victorMaje342d ago

One of my all time favourites.
