IGN writes: "An IGN reader named Tyla Daniels has added fuel to the fire by supplying a shot that was purportedly taken at BT Games in Johannesburg, South Africa at the Cresta Shopping Centre, and not only shows a logo for God of War IV, but asks gamers to pre-order it."
Sony's PlayStation 4 is home to a number of great exclusives, here we take a look at the ten best ones available for gamers right now.
Every now and again a video game reboot comes along that completely changes how you feel about its characters, message, and the overall franchise. For many people that was God of War, when creative director Cory Barlog reimagined it in the Norse world. Now this might sound ridiculous, but the next candidate could very well be Megaman. Yes, seriously. Artist Marco Plouffe drew the bright blue hero as if he has been brought up in the harsh world of furs, ale, and gods that are a bit too enthusiastic about killing each other and giving birth to giant serpents.
Hats off for the quality of the picture but it's just shaved Kratos with a helmet. Should be blue surely.
While this was a great article and concept, I think this "wow let's copy god of war" "wow let's copy battle royal" "let's copy soulsbourne" or whatever is more bad than good for the gaming industry. Why not take, in this example God Of War "style", but put it in let say a middle east setting?
I understand small studios (and ea ms studios) wants to copy everything under the sun, but if you can't come up with your own ideas, why have a studio to begin with?
TLDR; be unique - not a rip off from yesteryear
Atreus was a seminal part of God of War but he also was a huge headache. Here's how the team at Sony Santa Monica not only made the boy tolerable, but an invaluable asset.
Being A South African I can assure you that BTGames is screwy with their pre-ordering.
I remember when MGS Rising was not shown that one year at E3, they still has pre-orders for a release in August that same year.
They also have a habit of sometimes putting the American cover up even though South Africa falls exclusively under the PAL region, but this is rare thankfully.
They may know the game is coming (some retailer in the US said as much at the Sony retailer event) but I would not entirely trust BTGames on their pre-order info...
that said, they have done a good job at getting game sales in South Africa: the first real dedicated game only store in the country and where I shopped until I left the country.
LOL 'Shooter'
And Kratos continues to mount all the hot chicks.
GOW3 has some of the best graphics this gen, will be interesting to see if they improve on them
