Kratos is too scary.
It's hard to judge something like that only looking at those brief clips but I hope the game doesn't follow that route where it's only one or two enemies attacking you at the same time. That would be garbage.
Hopefully we will have some lenghty gameplay demos on PGW/PSX so we can learn more stuff about that.

I don't like were they going with the combat at all. Why on earth enemies around him are not attacking here?
And please, please for love of God PLEASE don't turn this game to fucking RPG with side quests. Can we please get good old fashion action game here?
I mean, we don't know. Could be for trailer purposes, a tutorial or it's those enemies behaviour.

No, no. What I like about God of War is how bunch of enemies both big and small attacking me at same time. In harder difficulty you need to choose which enemies u need take out first. The combat might not have been as deep as DMC or Bayonetta but it was intense. This other hand looks similar to Hellbalde combat and that not what I want out God of War game.

The animations and footage we've seen, the combat looks like it has more weight and brutality behind it than any of the past games.
We've already seen Kratos fighting groups with big and small mixed in trailers, with crowd control attacks and whatnot

I'm glad they are changing things up. I loved the original GoW series but by Ascension, the loop had worn thin. Glad they are being proactive rather than continuing to drag the series into the ground.

This combat looks better than anything in the past games tbh.

Fighting groups, crowd control, other enemies moving into attack while you're fighting.
Magic and ranged attacks to juggle enemies, stun them, and freeze them

I'm hoping I'm wrong because the art direction in this looking fucking fantastic. But I want aggressive enemies out of my hack and slash games. Again my worry is the camera being that close to Kratos we migh not get crowd of giant enemies and small enemies attacking you.
Had to watch the trailer again still fantastic.

I believe the camera dynamically zooms in or out depending on how many enemies you're fighting. It's never just locked in close behind Kratos, you can see the different camera zooms in gifs and footage
europe?
Till the game is released I don't think it is fair to judge the game's combat but I doubt it will come even close to this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BoHu8FTyxk
Yup, people would shit on it even more if it was an ascension 2.0 or whatever. The old style became stale, time to shake things up and it looks like it's exactly what they did.
GoW combat was only simple when compared to games like DMC and Bayonetta, it was far more complex and technical than any other game you can think of, and it's not even close.
They just need to confirm that the new GoW still has combos, juggling enemies...etc.

The camera is close to you in Soulsborne as well and combat in that is way more intense than any GoW.

Completely different kinds of combat and intensity though, not really comparable IMO
We've seen combos and juggles in the trailers

I know but also Dark Souls is not hack & slash game and I don't want GOW plays like Souls games.
I'm hoping to see long demo of this game so I can see how the combat really plays out.

Yeah, but I was replying to an opinion about the camera. A camera closer to the main character doesn't automatically imply less intense combat. If anything, attacks look to have more weight behind them.
I want to see more than one second of juggling, something along the lines of the Nemesis Whip.

I'm sure more stuff will be shown later this year.
I get that people really loved the combat system of the old games but I don't have a problem that the team switched things up.

This game looks and sounds awesome. Hope the combat feels as good as it looks; that's what will make or break the purchase for me.
I for one like that they want to change things up and not make another hack & slash game where you can stay in the air for minutes and do all kind of crazy, unrealistic shit.
I really like the new combat system that adds more weight to the character and makes it more believable.

Yeah, the Blades of Chaos lacked weight. If felt like you were slashing paper.

You have nothing to worry about.
This. Having Kratos being more weighty and intimate combat-wise will be a nice change of pace after 6 games.

Can you say anything else about the game?

Played, quite a bit.
Listen to this man, he played the game. Or at least saw more of it than we did.
Not a word unfortunately till release. It's killing me, I just want to play it so bad.
Can more than one enemy attack at once.
edit: nvm if you can't say anything

Looks real smooth. I'll be playing this one on Hard for sure.
Lucky man. Did game journalists get to play GoW hands-on at E3?

It's all sounding great so far. I love the Norse mythology setting and the changes they've made to make it fresh / different to the old games. Sounds like they are putting a lot of effort into building this new world and lore, which all sounds amazing. It's gonna be really epic and the graphics are just insane.
I loved the old games but after 6 games, it's good to see them going another direction and taking risks, not making just another "same old" sequel.

Hope you are right but so far I am not feeling it from what I have seen, I will still give it a chance, I hope it is as good as the original.

Agree. The first gow it's still my favourite in the series exactly because of the sense of adventure.

I feel I'm on my own island where I really enjoyed the original GOW combat and think this looks fun as well. The only thing I want is more combat video so I can get a better idea of it.
When were you able to play it? No need to give details about the gameplay itself if you're unable, but I haven't found many hands-on impressions yet. =\

How many times do i have to tell you guys to trust in Cory Barlog? he made the best God of War game yet (GoW2) and this new God of War will even surpass that.
Have faith in this man.
GoW 2 was still entirely based on Jaffe's design of the first game though, and Jaffe was even involved in Gow 2. This is Barlog's first shot at doing something basically from the ground up where he's calling most of the shots. I have the utmost faith in him and SSM though. Making this game has aged him a good deal, he looks tired as fuck these days haha.
The blades had the same impact whether you were hitting a minion or a boss. Animations played out the same no matter how many enemies came into contact on a single swing.
