Play Vault's William:
"There’s been a burst of fresh speculation in the last few days that Sony is working on a fourth console installment of God of War since supposed whispers of Kratos’ return were leaked in January, and it’s actually starting to seem feasible.
It all started when Playstation revealed a graphic on its Facebook page on Thursday with the simple tagline: ‘Will Vengeance Bring Redemption?’, and promising a related game reveal on April 19th. True, revenge was always a vital theme in the franchise, being the entire impetus for Kratos’ ambitious war on Olympus and the colour scheme and art style do, to some degree, fit with God of War‘s luscious looks. Though tenous, the series’ name has been thrown around the comments section more than any other."
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.
His concept is blue in the article. The thumbnail is actually protoman I believe... or judge dredd who knows
No, the thumbnail is Mega Man in GoW. There is also a Mega Man Dark Souls and Mega Man Alien variant.
You are right. The artist's page shows he has a bunch of projects called "Mega Man in...." where he takes characters from Mega Man and fits them in to other franchises.
This project is called Mega Man in God of War, but this is totally Proto Man. It even says it on his page.
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
Sad to see out 6votes 1 like new, fresh ideas and 5 want another copy and paste game.
No wonder we get a zillion Battle Royal games but not one shooter thinking outside the BR, MT's, multiplayer formula. Why bother do something new and exciting when "the masses" is happy with clone after clone?! I still have hope some unheard of studio is building away on their own unique game like minecraft, pubg, demons souls did back in their beginning. Rather play something new now and then instead of Assassins Creed #57, Need For Speed #326 or battle royal #1057...
Seems I'm in minority here thinking like this. 😩🤔
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.
cant wait.
The God of war games have great story and gameplay. The characters besides kratos aren't that memorable though. I hope they improve on that in the 4th of the series.
If it's not god of war then most likely it's heavenly sword 2.
can't f wait
