omg, They are going to do their own R+L=J aren't they?
I didnt care for GoW1. 2 and 3 were leagues better. Especially 3 which had amazing combat.

Have a feeling that the mom is gonna be a Valkyrie or some other supernatural creature...
So, I take it all GOW1 team is back save for Jaffe?

David Jaffe, when watching the Sony conference live, thought it was Horizon (like many).

Visiting some of the nine realms? GoW 1 team? Mother being plot relevant? yesyesyessssss
ETA: Great to see Cory talking about SotC, and some interesting details about the troll from the demo.

That's big, very exciting

15 to 100 enemies on screen at once. I dont see how anyone can say this isnt going to be a hack-n-slash. Over-the-shoulder is suited for 1 v 1 or 1 v few, so there's clearly much more to the combat. That should please people who were worried about the scale and scope of the battles
It's going to be Athena lol

100 enemies for OTS control system? That's something I really need to see for myself.

They've said the camera can and will pull back for larger scale events.

Combat system has to be more than that, and likely doesnt stay locked to OTS. Probably zooms out dynamically depending on the size of enemy/mini-boss and number of enemies on-screen
Yeah.

No sex mini-game?
Thank god. It got lamer with every passing entry into the series. It was so dumb in GoW3.

Pretty sure that was the whole point of the sex mini games anyway. Were they really even meant to be serious?

Guess you have a point. But I'm still glad its gone. Doesn't fit the tone of this GoW which doesn't feature a man-child Kratos.

Midgard is one of the realms.
So it's
Asgard
Vanaheim
Alfheim
Midgard
Svartalfheim
Nidavellir
Jotunheim
For the final two you have to make a choice. Since it's a bit vague as to whether Hel or Niflheim ("Helheim" is not a thing, it's a nickname only used to differentiate between the place and the goddess it's named after) are separate or one is inside the other, it's not clear if they're both counted or only one. It's also not totally clear which is the "realm" proper, but most agree it's Niflheim. If you don't count Hel, then you include Muspelheim. If you include Hel, you take Musphelheim off. Most lists decide to do the former. So the list usually looks like:
Asgard
Vanaheim
Alfheim
Midgard
Svartalfheim
Nidavellir
Jotunheim
Muspelheim
Niflheim
There is no list where Midgard is not one of the Nine Realms.

Sex minigame is a loss because that's how you deal with Freyja.

Oh man, those interviewers were not good. I had to turn it off after a while. The constant attempts to be funny and witty at the expense of interesting, respectful conversation. The poor listening. You could tell Cory was not feeling it. I don't blame him.
I'm really interested in where the mom went. I'm glad its not just a 'we offed her so we could have a son and a dad relationship'. She might still show up as an important figure in the game.
I WANT TO SEE "FAMILY OF WAR".
I also want to see clear comparisons and references to Kratos's old family in comparison to his new one.
I can't get enough of the angle they are showing, a clear deconstruction of the semi one dimensional Kratos we've known throughout GOW

Actually I am not sure by the no sex mini game,I just assume.
What do you guys think?
Makes sense, he's a family man now.
Jaffe?
Thank goodness for no sex minigame. Wouldn't fit the tone the game seems to be going for at all.
I actually highly doubt that's the case. There's no way the game has been rated by the ESRB yet. It's very likely not even content-finished at this point.

Nah lol Jaffe doing is own thing.
Yeah enemies now have their own reason to wanted to attack you.
Because it was fucking dumb.

Kinda OT.... but has anyone yet translated what the troll says in the shown gameplay? I tried to find it via google earlier but wasn't able to.
Yeah he said I send you to Valhalla was mention in the vid.

9 realms? Awwww yeah.
Also, the sex mini game was lame then, and lame now. It's a waste of space.

No way we visit all realms in the first game though.
My guess is 3 per game

I think people are jumping to conclusions regarding the gameplay.
As for the sex, that would be funny:
"Wait here son, daddy will be back in a moment".
After what we've seen of the game I'm not sure how anyone was expecting it to be included.

This all sounds good. I had expected it to be open world to some extent (similar to the Darksiders games), but I'm really pleased that they're keeping it a linear tightly-paced adventure, and I look forward to seeing more of the plot and this different Kratos. Wonder who the mother will be.
It's clearly a different and more mature Kratos, and I feel like that kind of nonsense has no place with the tone that the demo portrayed.

Interesting. Please more of that.

Never forget.
That segment was legitimately soul destroying.
Its not open world but its much more open then other GOW games.

You're still hacking and slashing enemies. Besides, we've only seen a glimpse of the combat.

I sorta half-jokingly suggested earlier they could do something more 'artsy' with a sex minigame here, but honestly removing it is for the best. Kratos is trying to be presented as an actual character now, not some early 90s comic book edgelord.
