Nice art cover.
I hope this will mean more online previews soon.
When is GOW releasing?

Did you saw some tips from GI about GOW? How about this one :
-Combat is based on prioritizing enemies, it's not as chaotic as in the past.
So, i don't see a hack and slash here. And it was so obvious from trailers that gameplay is different and slower.

You know I thought this cover reminded me of something.
Similar indeed. I noticed new enemies. Flying beings and those two near Atreus

There's way more that 2-3 arts released in the last few years which look very similar. Where's goddamn originality? It's not okay to create something unique anymore? What a shame.You know I thought this cover reminded me of something.

All this means is they better have designed a fluid and deep combat system. Gotta feel it to judge though...

I take it to mean that some enemies are more dangerous than others, so you'd have to focus on killing those mobs first before they do too much damage.

Its a hack and slash.
With a new gear progression, crafting, different combat system and no jump this seems like a total opposite of God of War we all know and many (myself included) genuinely enjoy. I'm split. There's a lot of things that I like about this direction (courage, fresh ideas, I dig 3rd person games), but at the same time I don't know how I feel about how safe they went with releasing it under God of War name with Kratos as MC. It's like they wanted to do things differently, but didn't know how the market would react and hoped they would atleast get some money back from people instabuying it because of the brand.
I'm interested in it, but it's so weird.

Im kind sad that this game play less like that hack & slash game. I guess I cant really launch enemies up and do more combos on air like the last games but I should I have known about that even since I saw how god damn close the camera is to the character.
Sigh.....

I think the story behind the GoW games is cool, but like some others I never liked the button mashing gameplay. I only played the first one on PS2 but I quit a few hours in after getting bored.
I may try this one when it releases. It's been a while and I'm a sucker for pantheon god mythology.

I always loved the way God of War played. It has fluid chain link movements and grabs. You could point your Blades of Chaos in one direction and hit them with precision.
I like this in the sense that you're getting meaty combos in a more grounded world. Sure, it's not #myGodofWar in the sense that I had each other God of War at their launch. I'm happy to try this.
I can remember the days before the original God of War came out and now this. lol it's crazy they had such success and then had to basically change it entirely in order to get it made in 2018. Now it's the retro God of War.
I am anticipating the visuals and the combat of this new game.

I was joking with u, Ive made it clear several times what I think of the new god of war.
I just used "hack and slash" as an example of acronyms, but weirdly you took it as my whole opinion.

No Jump has been confirmed? This was my greatest fear
Kratos could jump? Its been a while since ive played god of wars on ps3/ps2

Honestly I do not know if I like this drastic change. Kratos or God of War always was something totally ridiculous with huge set pieces brutality and other mature themes. And yes this also included the calssic sex minigame which they wre always trying to top.
But this feels way too Last of us, Horizon or days gone. They all have a similar style now and while Sony pretty much perfected these types of games I do not know If I want to be a GOD of War like this. I am pretty sure the press will love this but I think I will wait a bit. Depends in which month it will actually get released and how many other games I want.
But so far more eh.. I really need to see a huge set piece moment I guess.

I wholeheartedly believe in Cory. He has great sensibility, understands trickle rewarding players, seems to know the pressure on their shoulders and the risk involved and Im ready to go in with a fresh mindset in parallel with the fresh reinvention.
God of War series thrived in my youth and Ive grown up both physically and in my tastes and Im excited for a mature, story invested action adventure God of War.
My fingers are optimistically crossed 🤞🏻

Yes, Kratos had a jump button in the old ones. Used for platforming and air combat.

Awesome.
Also for people that are worried about the gameplay changing -- there are around 6 games in a similar fashion of God of War. Not sure why it had to continue down the exact same road... this different take seems interesting and unique.
