What? The combat in the original games was some of the best in the industry. This new game is ruining the combat by making it much slower and having fewer enemies. I get it is supposed to be different but I am not liking what I have seen so far. I mean a lock on button in a God of War game? What are they turning this into a souls game?! I don't mind most of the other changes too much but I absolutely hate what they're doing to the combat. This writer clearly has no idea wtf he's t...
come on the differences are far deeper than that. I've watched that trailer about 20 times. You can't seriously believe that this:

is the same as this:

with a different weapon.
Kratos moves so much slower...
Again I'm not saying the old combat system didn't fit his character. I AM saying that they could still keep a fast paced combat system closer to the original than the one they have now. As for the second point there are a lot of games taking ideas from the last of us, but I think in the souls games they actually moved in the opposite direction with blood borne which was much faster. I just wish Ssm could have tried to keep some of the DNA of the old games in this reimagining.

Hope ur right!
I don't really think that has to be the case. There are plenty of games with fast Merle combat with characters that aren't consumed with rage. Games like bayonetta and devil may cry both serve as examples that you can have fast arcade combo based combat without a constantly angry character. Maybe some changes would be necessary, but this is too much in my opinion. If they want to change this much then I'd prefer they just make a new ip. I have no desire to play the last of us meet...
couldn't have said it better
As a huge God of War fan I agree with a lot of his points. It looks like a great game in it's own right but it is not at all what I want from God of War. They are removing so much of what made the original games great. I am really disappointed in a lot of the changes particularly the combat.
Based on what I've seen so far I'm 100% with you. I'm still going to give it a chance because it does look like a good game. But to me they have changed so much that it doesn't really feel like a God of War game anymore. It feels so far removed from what made the series what it was. That doesn't mean the game is going to be bad. In fact I think it looks good. It just isn't at all what I want from God of War and I'm disappointed to see them leave so much behind.
@Eonjay
Yeah I know how the God of War games work I've played them. That's precisely why one would be disappointed if they didn't include weapon variety. Because it has been in the previous games. The comment didn't say that the game wouldn't include other weapons. It said that it would be disappointing if more weapons weren't included.
Are you hoping that the axe and fist fighting are the only two ways to fight in this game? I wou...
Glad to finally find someone else who shares a similar opinion!
I don't get the disagrees - I'm with you. I think we will get more weapons not mentioned here but I definitely would be disappointed if we didn't
For me:
Amazing:
Spiderman
Detroit: Become Human
We Happy Few
Disappointing:
God of War
Days Gone

It's strange that in this article they say "Apparently, there will still be giant bosses which will have a scale bigger than previous games, and giant enemies, to fight and take down" but in the video posted on Playstation EU ( https://www.youtube.com/wat... at 4:09 or so) they say that "the troll is one of the larger characters in our realm" - hopefully he just wasn't counting bosses as char...
Tidux is never right. Can hardly call him an insider
God of War 4 (ps1995 nailed it) and I'd love to see Jak 4 even tho it's a long shot
I really hope this rumor isn't true. I would much rather see sucker punch develop their own new ip instead. I was also never a big spiderman fan. That being said I totally understand why people would be excited about this.
Awesome to hear a little more about this game after not seeing it since the gamescom announcement! Concept art looks niiice
So pumped for this! I know Santa Monica will put out a great game!
God of War is my favorite franchise, and GoW3 is the reason i bought a ps3. I hope they don't change too much, but I'm confident that anything coming from SSM will be great. I just wish that stig's game wasn't cancelled! :(
@Abriael
I agree, I don't think it will come to PC, but you're flat wrong in some of your statements here. Sony owns at least 2/3 of the QD IPs, for example check out the trademark owner:
