Why reveal God of War 4 at such a random date this close to E3?

 

[Red UFO]

Crash Bandicoot reboot. Played from the perspective of Cortex.

 

[mescalineeyes]

No, I know. I am. I expect this reveal to be substantive. But the tie-in with the GTTV reveal is clever on his part.

At this point he's just being a fantastic business man.

 

[winstano]

OP contained "Rock if Cold"

R & C don't belong. NEW RATCHET & CLANK CONFIRMED!

 

[SolidSnakex]

If it could do Uncharted, it can do God of War.

Golden Abyss isn't even in the same ballpark as Uncharted 3 when it comes to visuals. And it doesn't even run native at the Vita's own resolution.

And if they aren't going to support it with AAA software, why did they even bother launching the Vita?

Why would the feed it ports of PS3 games? Like I said, who the hell is honestly going to want a the weaker version of GoW4? It's a series that's known for cutting edge visuals. That doesn't mean that they shouldn't make a GoW title for the system, but a port wouldn't be worth the effort. No one is going to buy a Vita for a port.

 

[pslayer666]

I know it's not.

What do you know? I want to know too

Well as discovered on other thread... url of the image is..
url..blablabla... gowa_fb/1.png wich would mean god of war announcement_facebook.

 

[Hanmik]

He's not playing anyone. Sony's announcing something really cool on the 19th. You have every right to be excited.

so you are the one playing everyone..! just tell us... is it a new Wrestling game with stone cold steve austin and the rock...?

Spoiler

God of War 4

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

Why reveal God of War 4 at such a random date this close to E3?

Because all of Sony's stuff gets leaked anyway.

Gears of War, duh.

For Vita.

God of war duh

They do this eveytime now and its fine with me.

Teaser now, full trailer at E3.

Also the url of the image in the OP is "Exactly_what_you_think_it_is.jpg", so... yeah.

 

[Withnail]

Why reveal God of War 4 at such a random date this close to E3?

They do this every year.

 

[El-Suave]

The background is amber -> amber often contains fossils from which they can clone extinct animals.

-> "Lair 2"!

 

[Huff]

I haven't heard about TRANSFARRING in a while. @markmacd any plans for a sequel video around E3?

@LukeWasRight I'm under NDA. #REVENGEANCEbestservedcold

Rock if cold

Related?

 

[tusken77]

Is it me or is Sony the only company that announces new games on a regular level?
It would take Nintendo/MS 3 gens to match the announcements Sony made in this gen alone.

Yep. <3 Sony.

And I'm guessing Norse God of War.

 

[Vinterbird]

Why reveal God of War 4 at such a random date this close to E3?

They've done this twice now. Preview and reveal all of their big stuff prior to E3, and then go "and now gameplay" at the conference instead of announcement + trailer.

I would imagine it gives them incredibly value information as to how they should taior their E3 conference based on how the public reacts to each of the game reveals leading up to the conference.

At least thats how I would leverage it.

 

[SSReborn]

Why reveal God of War 4 at such a random date this close to E3?

I think they did something similar before with LBP2, KZ3 etc announced a few months before E3

 

[Gemüsepizza]

Why reveal God of War 4 at such a random date this close to E3?

Because they will reveal the PS4 and a lot of Next Gen games at E3, and no one would care about a current gen title! ^^

Spoiler

seriously, I have no idea

 

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

I could see this being for Vita, to generate a shocker reaction. GOW4, the next big installment, on the PS Vita, that is if they're willing to take the risk.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

Gow 4 with a new protagnist , new setting and new gameplay.

It's going to be an FPS now?

 

[Trevelyon]

My eyes are ready for the visual smorgasbord to come.

 

[Noisepurge]

Why reveal God of War 4 at such a random date this close to E3?

to get all the media attention to themselves now?

 

[DieH@rd]

Im glad that Sony is not steping back from PS3 support. We will get many great games untill PS4.

 

[strafer]

A teaser of à teaser

 

[Mitama]

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance with RDR horses and an icy setting?

 

[Hiro_Kunimi_80]

to get all the media attention to themselves now?

the 6.4 billions loss and 8K Vita's aren't' good enough ?

 

[nico1982]

No, dating sim.

 

[Gawny]

At the top of the image... Kratos?

 

[Anteater]

Heavy Rain sequel

Heavy Snow

 

[namDa65]

yeaaaaa! lair 2 !!!!

 

[toddhunter]

Exactly. We have the interwebs now. Why would you bother to wait for E3? Sure it is nice to 'win E3' in the eyes of fans, but all that is largely irrelevant in this day and age. Better to market on your own terms rather then getting lost in whatever bullshit Microsoft is peddling this year.

E3 is really only a showcase for animated gifs. Personally I think Sony should be applauded for announcing things earlier to give people extra time to design and create them. There are some extra special gifs created at the spare of the moment, but let us all be honest. Most of the best are pre-created, just waiting for that perfect moment to be posted.

I don't know when a GOW4 gif will be needed during E3, but you all know it will. Especially if it has Kratos violently killing something. That is bound to get used. Then there are cases where graphical superiority is questioned, so they will come handy for that too.

 

[Castor Krieg]

Still riding that dead horse I see.

God, I cannot get excited over any new console release.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Why reveal God of War 4 at such a random date this close to E3?

Sony has been revealing new games at odd times. I think in 2010, they revealed 4 new games before E3.

 

[El-Suave]

Sony's policies have been pretty stupid though this gen. I remember when they had review embargos for their biggest and best games end three weeks before their launches. You get people excited early that way, but your game is basically gone from the big website's front pages when it actually launches and you could use those free ads and buzz.

I seriously dont see any logic or point in your post

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

No, dating sim.

I was hoping for a cooking game featuring Kratos. Kind of like Vegan Black Metal Chef, only interactive and with less clothes on.

 

[spanks]

If they decided to go with Jaffe's multi-myth, Zelda-style idea, this might be the first GoW that I get into. Fingers crossed.

That's dumb, but revealing games at non-gaming isn't. It's basically the Rockstar way of doing things. By showing trailers and revealing games on their own time they're able to get all the attention. Next Thursday and Friday will be all about GoW4.

 

[Mako_Drug]

It's obviously Agent guys.

Really who cares how they reveal something?

Its silly how people think they must save them for an event.

The fuck am I watching?!

 

[Kenshin001]

Even though I enjoyed the GoW games can't say I'm that excited for yet another sequel. Really wish we were seeing more new IPs from the powerhouse studios. Saying that, a more open world GoW game akin to Dark Souls might be interesting.

 

[KillGore]

I'll laugh my ass off if it's GOW3 for Vita

seriously though, I wish it would be a vita game (NOT GOW3)

I'm inclined to agree, but, goddamn, this game is going to look good.
