Maybe it's Bust a Groove 3: Kitty N Redux?

for some reason i keep thinking of this

makes no sense, but whatever.

Lol, you weren't the only one. It might be the exaggerated 'taffy legs'.

 

[Hot Coldman]

On one hand, I'd love for this to be a new thing.

On the other hand, I don't think God of War is ever truly going to go away, so I'd also love for this to be a new thing that calls itself God of War.

 

[Carn82]

Earthworm Jim?

that was my thought as well, but he has different shoes/boots

 

[NotMyPsn]

I hate the current state of SSM, its just a producer of meh games. ssm was a beast in the ps2 era, creating breathtaking games and really showing the power of the ps2...they were the naughty dogs of the ps2...and now..they produce sound shapes and hohokum...sigh...its like they went mobile..

 

[d00d3n]

Kratos gone and replaced by female main character in next god of war?

God of war 3 is arguably the best looking game on Ps3...

 

[ZarKryn7]

Probably another artsy game like Entwined.

Nothing to get excited about.

The days of Santa Monica being the God of War studio are long gone.

Its cynics like you that ruin these exciting speculation threads. And this is an internal SSM project. Not an external project. They still have key people at SSM that knlwy their crap when come visually great looking and intense action games.

"Its like they went mobile" except they haven't at all. What on overreaction.

People need to understand SSM is an external and internal studio. They help out small independent studios along with making their own games. Not every external project they are doing is going to interest everyone. But I appreciate that they are working on a variety of games. If they didn't help these studios out, we'd never get games like Fat princess, Starhawk, journey, unfinished swan.

Àlso understand they were working on a new IP for a long time and got canned. They went through a heavy layoff and now gotta start a new game from scratch.

This project is being lead by Cory barlog. The director of GoW2. So Im looking forward what him and his team at SSM have in store for us.

 

[Deputy Dangle]

Princess Tutu in the style of God of War is something I never knew I wanted.

God of War 4: Dancing All Nyx

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Kratos gone and replaced by female main character in next god of war?

If that's the case then, good.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Oh, well then. That Krayonetta cover is quite the nightmare fuel.

I was just about to say the same thing, but I love your portmanteau. Bravo.

 

[TEH-CJ]

Just please be a god of war with Kratos in it.

 

[3rdamention]

Kratos gone and replaced by female main character in next god of war?

Maybe they replaced him with Queen Nefertiti?


I could only dream...with her being in the news lately, it just had me wishing for that Ancient Egypt setting in a big blockbuster game......Well, I think we have all been wishing for that for a while....

 

[Darkstorne]

Just please be a god of war with Kratos in it.

That seems to be a pretty uncommon wish these days.

 

[BigTnaples]

Based on what I am seeing, unless it is a bate and switch, I can't see myself being interested.


But we have admittedly seen nothing really, so I will keep an open mind.

 

[TEH-CJ]

Well judging by the boot in the clip its not set in ancient Greek times. The boot looks plastic? Could be a new IP. Its not god of war.

I love what they've been doing since the PS3 days. I couldn't give a shit about God of War - genuinely leaves me cold. But the assistance they've provided to help smaller developers realise their visions is fantastic.

Sometimes in order to take a step forward, you have to take a step back. #takeastep

Remaster? Prologue?

 

[Rurunaki]

God of War 4: Dancing All Nyx

Legit chuckled. My guess would be a PlaystationVR game from the simple textures.

 

[Red Devil]

I bet all my money on P.N.04

The only sensible guess.

 

[NotMyPsn]

"Its like they went mobile" except they haven't at all. What on overreaction.

I dont think its an overreaction...just look at their output since Ascension...do you really think that they made possible unfinished swan? Certainly not in a technical way. They are producers,they guide other games studios, but they are not longer the technical wizards they were in the ps2 era.
And really, I cant feel their input in the games they have produced...every game is very diferent and frankly, not very good.
I believe any other big studio could have helped in those games. SSM no longer has a signature.

A reboot maybe :0

 

[wotta]

A reboot maybe :0

Haha funny

 

[Baroquemantic]

I think it's a collaboration with a smaller studio. From 'The Unfinished Swan' to the 'Black Swan'.

I was just about to say the same thing, but I love your portmanteau. Bravo.

Thanks. I put lots of thought into that name!

 

[Funyarinpa]

Take A Step. Step. Moving. Mobility. Portability. Handheld. Vita.

It's a Vita game.

Spoiler

lol it isn't

 

[SuicidalSteve]

Greek mythology and ballet and the arts were like glue and mentioning apollo and other Greek gods could appear...was apollo ever in God of war in person?

[valkillmore]

Show feet

Jesus Christ. If ever there was a post of one talking out their ass and not understanding anything it would be this.

Anyway, I'm excited to see how this tease pans out and what sort of 2016 SSM had in addition to whatever the next GOW game turns out to be.

God of War: Electric Boogaloo

 

[jroc74]

Shamefully re-posting it again

Sneak peek at the first boss:

A game about feet?

God of Feet

/dead

 

[sn00zer]

Hopefully another weird pseudo-indie game....I like those

 

[piccio_ssl]

here

yes, it was in ... for a while

edit. no that was not him lol. i've forgot almost everything about this game

 

[Jarmel]

Princess Tutu in the style of God of War

I... would be down for that.

 

[Kieli]

GoW Souls: Prepare to Kratos edition.

Remastered in 1080p/120fps.

 

[sn00zer]

Also I would be down for Goddess of War

 

[Phreak47]

I have a much weirder thought. Sony buys Silent Hill rights from Konami.

 

[dr_rus]

I have a much weirder thought. Sony buys Silent Hill rights from Konami.

Any indication that Konami is ready to part with their most prominent pachinko franchise?

 

[sono]

doesnt the series 24 use 3 shots arranged like that during a scene transition ?

just sayin

 

[FranXico]

Any indication that Konami is ready to part with their most prominent pachinko franchise?

You're probably joking, but I remember reading somewhere that their most popular pachinko machines are the Silent Hill themed ones.

They're gonna kill it with Metal Gear Pachinko!

 

[plasmawave]

It's Neogaf's fetish.

 

[GoldenCrow]

First thought was P.N.03 without seeing it was from SSM.

 

[Phreak47]

Just that slate gray colored leg... it was the first thing that popped in my head.

 

[Cheat Code]

Seems to be quite graceful movement. Kratos isn't particularly graceful.

A new female protagonist in a Norse universe would be very cool.

 

[Mechanized]

MOBA/Hero based FPS.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Oh man, that first boss Gif and the last option in the poll being ahead..... I'm dying, Hahahaha!

Spoiler

This is the kind of stuff that makes me love GAF

 

[outunderthestars]

What if the new God of War was a Goddess of War?

 

[HoodWinked]

probably another colab with tgc.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

What if the new God of War was a Goddess of War?

She's Egyptian right?

 

[SolidSnakex]

probably another colab with tgc.

I doubt it since just last year TGC managed to raise 7m for their game. It's supposed to be self published.

You give me a headache. Like seriously.

This is your opinion. I'll *try* to respect it. Smh

Every gamer has their own taste and their opinions. I strongly disagree that all the external ssm games arent very good. They're are a lot of great games. Of course they're have been not so great one such as The Order. But if SSM hasn't been that open of a producer we wouldn't have games like journey either. Some of these indies have their own stories on why SSM has played a very important factor on their development of these games. So I'll let you look for those stories yourself.

As for technical wizards. Well I'd reserve that final judgment once we see what this game is. But I won't be surprised if it is not technically amazing since they did have have huge layoff. Take that into consideration.

Well.. If this is an internal game that is.
