God of War: Laufey Announced

They say most men cant find where the gem is
 
Not for me. If it ends up being an amazing game on release maybe I'll pick it up but as of now aside from visuals it does nothing that got me excited.
 
I don't understand isn't this suppose to be Cory game ? Instead its written by the same fucking woman who wrote watch dog legion
This is what they think the PS gamers want. Those $900 PS5 Pro's are going to fly off the shelves with Laufey and Horizon Hunter Gathering on the market together. This is the gen.

I don't get who is the target market for this game?
What a lot of these girl power games and movies target.

The triple crown of sales.

1. Big natural sales from IP

2. Bigger sales from existing dude bro base who likes the series and finds the girl power character attractive enough to play and ogle. Make male characters in the game hunky meatheads as that's ok

3. Biggest sales from tiny female gamer base because now she-ra is lead. Big sales boost potential like you can double sales. Not too good looking character as that demoralizes low self esteem females and game devs

i like the action hack and slash combat but i just hope it wont has animation responsiveness issue that western action games typical has. like that huge swing or body spin. we will see.

hope we can atleast adjust the camera distance too. not too fans with character sit too much on left side and closer to camera with this style of gameplay.


im fine with playing female character/hero as long it not fall into that typical woke nonsense. she is wife of Kratos so should be not geh right? riiighhtt??


Confused Thinking GIF



itseems there gonna be surge of female action hack and slash games coming too. Stellar Blades, Tides of Annilihation, Beast of Reincarnation and this Laufey game.

Just stop, if you can't do Kratos do Loki, this seems like a mistake and I just wonder if Loki is on people's and developers lips, him tricking humanity is a disgusting approach we saw in the marvel movies, how will they spin a Faye game anyway? Is a Faye game people want?

Would have been cool...
 
really enjoyed the first 2 games, and when this trailer began with Faye waking up I thought she looked great and I was mentally ready to be wowed by new action gameplay, but man 15 minutes of walking and talking followed by a long boss fight … kinda disappointed 😔

Wanted to see slashing, chopping and dicing dozens of enemies with that stylish new sword, and how it feels to juggle and survive waves of enemies .. you know, "gameplay"
 
I was kind of expecting a more divisive reaction in other places judging by this thread, like people dislike bombing the video, but it seems the majority of people like it

Still, I don't think this game is going to sell as much as the previous games, because there is no Kratos and it's not that much different than the previous 2 games, but it will probably do okay

The people who eat up casual Sony games love this type of game dude.
 
Her in game model is much uglier:

I can't fucking believe in this things.
If you describe Debora Ann Wolf (which is a gorgeous woman, and it looks like a great person from what i saw on her interviews) to one of those image AI it would probably come with a better character than this shit.

Plus the entire art oozes that Purple aura of defeat that we saw some time ago (Watchdog legion, Last Dragon Age, Far cry New Dawn, etc)
 
Graphics look insane, gameplay looks decent to good.


Why ... just why ... does it need the GoW wrapper?
Bc those pussies at soe don't have the balls to make a new ip featuring these bad ass women characters so they have to piggyback them off Kratos, Joel, Jin etc etc bc they know they'd flop. Hopefully years from now they'll be classes taught on how shit from star wars, comic books and video games were ruined bc some dumbasses wanted to push narratives that women are stronger than men(they're not) that tons women read comic books and play pc and console games(probably under 10%)
 
Sony has cultivated an audience that eats this stuff up. Just give them high production values and they will consume it.

Partly. And I think there's a collective deterioration of gaming standards that keeps this dumpster fire going.

People forgot the trajectory gaming used to be on and settled.
 
So other then "who blew the horn" Kratos appearing for brief moment might be due to the first fight with Thor where he dies for a moment no matter what you do.
 
The top pic is when she was 31. She's 41 years old now and still looks nice in the game if you don't try to find unflattering poses or facial expressions.
Also comparing it to when she is trying to look her best is not the right comparison, compare to pic of her some role where she is miserable.
