God of War director: there will be no quick time events

Thank god
QTEs are CANCER

>>380636245
OVER THE FUCKING LINE

So just walking and bad action gameplay? Fantastic!

>>380636245
So it's not a God of War game, then? What are they gonna call it?

>no QTE
>just cinematic finishers

Wow it's fucking nothing. You know for all the shit it got, GoW QTE weren't as awful as a game like Bayonetta.

>>380636245
My wife's son is going to love this game!

>>380636245

l3+r3 for spartan rage is a quicktime event ;)

>>380636245
but we already saw quicktime events in the previews at e3 lmao, what the fuck is he lying for

I am OK with this. QTE stuff was my least favorite thing about GoW games.

>>380636504
Found the Switch fanatic.

>>380636554
t. Casual

well tbqh the brutal finishers against regular enemies look to happen automatically so you'll have even less control during them and are just watching a cinematic animation. Insert movie meme here.

>>380636364
KYS scum. Back to the switch.

And lol for fags being triggered by this

Does that include jamming on a button everytime I have to open a chest?

So, nothing as fun and inventive as clicking L3+R3 to gouge Poseidon's eyes out in the 2nd person perspective.
It's going to be dull and safe.

>>380636794
Yep. I love my PS4 Pro, but this is dog shit. I want a real God of War game.

But will the game include Varg?

thanks for nothing

QTE are fine for shit you normally wouldn't be able to pull off in-game like crazy finishers and shit.

Gives you a sense of you actually doing the work rather than just watching a movie. Also just don't have too many of them

Didn't GoW always have QTEs?

>>380636512
Wrong

The QTEs in the series are optional just in case you NEVER FUCKING PLAYED THEM.

>>380637537
They were fun, damn it. A little brutal catharsis.

>>380636245
That's all well and good but they're still going to have all the elaborate finishers, only now you don't mash buttons. I don't hate those much but that doesn't change what a fluff piece this is.

>>380637537
No they aren't. It's impossible to win boss fights without QTEs in the original trilogy. Regular enemies are mostly optional.

I liked GoW 1-3 but the more I hear about this game, the more I'm turned off.

And honestly the article says you won't have to press a button at a precise time but you might have to spam buttons or rotate the sticks to match what's on-screen. The previous games had those too.

Pretty sure I watched Kratos pin a skeleton against a wall and hit TRIANGLE when it popped up to punch the skeli a bunch. Why not get rid of all this stupid cinematic button-hitting if you're going to get rid of the slightly cool finishers and shit like that?

>>380637960
okay so bosses have cinematic finishers to make it epic that is perfectly fine since most of the boss fight isnt a QTE.

I wish we had a god of war game that wasn't filled with QTE

>look at all these QTEs, lol typical western trash
>good news, there's no QTEs
>WOW THIS GAME ALWAYS HAD QTES WE NEED QTES

>>380637363

It was one of the first series to use them

So all this means is they're just going to be called something like "context finishers". There's no way a GoW game, especially one that's going full "cinematic experience", is going to go without one-button casual gameplay.

I was actually fine with QTEs in God of War. I'd rather have normal gameplay + Cinematic moments QTEs than boring gameplay + no QTEs. I get that the old gameplay probably doesn't sell nowadays but why the fuck does every game on PS4 look and play the same. God of War isn't the last of us nor should it try to be. The thing that really bothers me is if this cinematic crap is going to continue for like another decade or two and normalfags will buying those trash games.

?????????

>>380636245
The game is mostly scripted so there's no need for them.

I know the story of God of War has always been pretty retarded but I'm confused as to where they're going with this sequel

Correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK Kratos finally killed Zeus with the help of Pandora and/or Aphrodite and he redeemed himself and is a hero now and put an end to the corrupted Greek gods etc etc, so now he's got a son and is in the Norselands.

Where's the danger if this is a dude who's beat Hercules, Titans, and Greek gods? Sure he had help most often from other gods themselves but still he's pretty much fought all that can be fought. Why is there any danger or challenge when he's proven he can beat gods? Are the Norse gods just stronger than Greek ones? Assuming he even fights Norse gods. That serpent seems to scare the shit out of him so maybe there's hope but I worry it'll be boring because of how sheerly overpowered the protag is.

Kratos is cooler with no beard. God of War 3 Kratos is the most badass

>>380638385
Lol

>FUCK QTES RUINING THE INDUSTRY PIECE OF SHIT
>WOW WTF WHY AREN'T THERE ANY QTES I LOVE QTES
this board is a fucking joke

>>380636486
Having Kratos kill Cronus without any input, versus Kratos killing Cronus with a Triangle, Square and Circle in the same amount of time is inconsequential. One has inputs for no reason.

There was very few times GoW got QTEs right. Killing Poseidon is one of them.

I liked QTEs in GoW made me feel like I was doing the work for the brutal finishers. Guess it's just more I need to watch for.

>>380636523
They could have removed them, or you could be confusing visible button prompts with quicktime events.

>>380636707
I like how everyone ignored you.. well except for me right now

>>380636245
>There are people on /v/ right now in this thread unironically supporting QTEs

what the actual fuck happened to this place? a few years back people would be praising a game for not having QTEs.

He probably just lost all his shit over time, he's still strong as fuck, but has no divinity or divine backing, so he has to work back up to being an unstoppable god slayer

>>380639657

Breaking: The God of War director has also confirmed as of 5 minutes ago that there will be NO biological offspring in the game either. Quicktime events and biological progeny are NOT in the game.

So /v/ what's your excuse now?

>>380639427
Kratos should be dead, he stabbed himself with the blade of olympus right through his whole body and dropped dead at the end of GoW3

Play God of War 3 with the automatic QTE cheat and you've basically got a better version of this new game lol

If there's one thing i hated about GoW, it's excessive QTE.

This is ironic, considering that QTEs during bosses were ABSOLUTELY NOT OPTIONAL in any of the six games in the series. At least pretend you played them.

>A variation of the quick time event will still appear in the game. For big, elaborate boss battles, Barlog said, players can expect the “Track and Field” design, referring to the classic NES game in which players quickly spammed buttons to create a feeling of physical exertion. In dramatic sequences, God of War might ask the player to spam “X” or twirl the control sticks to mimic the action happening on screen.
did any of you niggers actually read the article

how is this any different to the QTEs they had in GoW1-3

>>380636245
They'll probably come up with a new term for QTE and call it a day.

He doesn't have any power anymore because the people condemned/stopped believing in the gods and his power came from taking it from the gods

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_time_event

>In video games, a quick time event (QTE) is a method of context-sensitive gameplay in which the player performs actions on the control device shortly after the appearance of an on-screen instruction/prompt. It allows for limited control of the game character during cut scenes or cinematic sequences in the game.

Holy fuck, almost exactly what I described. How about that.

Literally nothing was extreme about that. God of War has the same variety in control input as those other games.

Just fyi, you could spam casual moves like the flying swallow in Ninja Gaiden and make the game 10x more easy. I'm just saying it's not like any of these hack and slash games are exempt from being able to spam casual moves. I actually think you need them just so you can give casual players a way to play the game.

A lot of QTEs are scripted. Have you even played these fucking games? For a lot bosses you just deal enough damage to stun them and then do a QTE on them to finish them off. The shit in that e3 demo is almost exacly the same. You'd have to be daft not to recognize that.

I'm saying because the E3 demo was scripted shit like the ice cracking does not imply Spartan Rage is a quick time event. Especially since they just announced they removed quick time events. They actually know what QTE's are, you do not. Theres a very simple difference between a QTE and a prompt. But sure, they just made it up. Spartan rage is actually a quick time event, even though it never was in the other games. If you dont press it in 1 second Kratos's head explodes

Again, very rarely did GoW have QTEs that were good/make you feel involved. Hitting a few buttons in a row isn't involved, you were already involved since you just had a long boss fight with phases

Actually I just picked DMC 2 out of a hat. DMC 1 has the same kind of gameplay and was much better received than the rest of the series. Do I even need to say anything else.

On one hand, I didn't like most of the QTE shit in any games made so far. On the other hand, clicking the sticks in to poke out Poseidon's eyes or mashing [] to bash Herc's face in was a good use of it. Satisfying as fuck in those instances.

Yes.

for all the shit talk about QTE god of war games are the only ones who did them right.

they are more like a reward after the combat. And sometimes they add a lot to the fights. That final fight against zeus in GOW3 wouldnt have been the same without mashing the buttons to stab him with the sword.

The really shit QTE kind is the one that is absolutely not necessary (especially the ones mid cutscene, FUCK those) and serves as a replacement for actual gameplay.

Now, comparing basic movement inputs to attack based ones in the same vein is outright sad.

>>380645426
The pertinent part about QTEs isn't that you get X seconds instead of Y seconds to push the button, it's that it replaces gameplay that the player has actual control over with a context-sensitive cutscene. This hair-splitting over "BUT IT MIGHT NOT BE TIMED" is fucking retarded, because nobody cares about that aspect of QTEs. No one gives a shit if the spartan rage segment gives you 5 seconds or unlimited time, it's a distinction with hardly a difference at that point.

QTE's are FINE in the case of GoW because they are only used as FINISHERS.
You first have to essentially kill the enemy in order to do a finisher; as a flashy and cool way of executing the enemy, and also as a way to extend the combo.
In GoW it's alot like how DOOM had finishers, but you had to kill the enemy first. 1 more shot and they die, but finishing them gives health and ammo.

Games like the The Order, for instance, replace sections of the game that could be done through direct player gameplay with QTE's that aren't engaging and take away from the game because they do something a player could've done by playing.

>>380646935

Keeping the flow of the combat and keeping a natural control scheme for better use of actions, even DMC1 does this with some basic attacks like stinger. But enjoy your baby hack n slash, I guess.

God damn you are so fucking dumb. Why are you trying to change the topic. It doesnt matter if Spartan Rage has the same problem as QTE's in your retarded worldview. Thats not the point of this chain of replies. Its that Spartan Rage is NOT a QTE. If you know what a QTE is this is an obvious FACT

Im fine with that kind of quick time events. And I like cutscenes, I just hate when they mix quick time events with cutscenes. My mind switches from play to watch so I hate never being able to relax.

Oh yes, if you forget that EVEN OPENING A FUCKING DOOR REQUIRES TO DO A QTE

>>380647934
Because it probably is timed? I don't think they're going to let Kratos stand there like a moron for 50 years with no consequences while the giant is there cracking the ice he's standing on. That would just be retarded and make that entire sequence even more pointless than if it had just been a QTE. I could be wrong though.

>>380648280

I think you are mixing up button mashing with QTE

>>380636245
But GoW was like the only game to get QTE right

Niggas saying the QTE's are only finishers in GOW have never played the game

There's a bunch if QTE sequences before you even finish off a main boss.

The only series to do QTE's right is Yakuza as they're all entirely option and never forced to do it

the qte is there to finish every boss PHASE.

Also sometimes they just fit. There is nothing in regular gameplay to simulate kratos pulling a boss with his chains in a tug of war for instance so button mashing like crazy feels right.

GOW always did QTE right. Its games like the order that use the cancerous version that replaces gameplay

>>380649369
give me one good reason why taking control away from the player and letting them become invulnerable and press a button to kill a boss is better than letting them do it on their own? you don't even have the risk of both of you being at low health, one hit from death, the final attack type scenario because now you just press circle to win.

Spartan Rage was never cutscene either, it was a buff, but that's clearly how it works now. This isn't the same GoW, how things worked in the old games don't necessarily dictate how they'll work in the new one.

> Now lets go over why you think its a QTE. Because the ice was cracking in an E3 trailer.

...Yes? Do you not think that kind of implies that time is of the essence in that situation? It's either that or something even more stupid. My whole point is that it's either a QTE or something so similar to a QTE that the difference is hardly even worth mentioning.

>>380650262

>>380649369
Nigga remember the herculus fight? He would just be standing talking to some bitch with a big circle prompt so you could start the QTE and then take his fist weapons off him, that was pointless as fuck. Could have been done through regular gameplay.

>>380649607
because for all intents and purposes you already beat the boss at that point and a flashy killing sequence is your reward.

i remember on titan difficulty a few times were that one hit from death scenario happened and the qte was "the final hit"

Im not advocating for them to be in every game at all im just saying GOW did qte right and it suited GOW.

a QTE is not the same as a button prompt or a button mashing prompt.

most QTE are annoying while the others can be great or terrible depending on implementation.

>>380636245
does punching zeus till he splats in gow3 counts as button prompts or qte? since you can't fail it but you can keep doing it forever n it was probably the most satisfying thing in the game.

>>380652608

Absolutely! That's just a sodding bad gimmick to give the player something to do while the game plays itself.

>>380652272
I'm pathologically obsessed with whether its timed because thats the subject at hand. You ranting about how you think it doesnt matter is not what I signed up for nor what I care about, nor what ANYONE cares about really.

I'm going to call it your "understanding" of a QTE, because real game developers actually know what it is, and say that the timed part matters because without it theirs very little distinction between it and any oher king of prompt

I don't even like God of War, but hopefully God of War's abandonment of QTEs will encourage the rest of the entire industry to follow suit and completely abandon QTE once and for all.

>>380653887

GoW qte's were mostly just finishers after you already beat the enemy though. I didn't have a problem with them in that sense.

I do have a problem with over the Ryse combat and what looks to be a game long escort mission. Although I'm sure his wife's son will be magically invincible and invisible like most naughty dog game side characters are.

WTF WHY IS KRATOS GIANT??

Wait, so the article says that the game may "still ask the the player to spam X or twirl control sticks to mimic the action". Does this mean that they essentially trimmed the fat? Because yeah, the random inputs of QTEs in sequences is kinda dumb. But you know what are the fun parts of the sequences? Stuff like:

gouging out Poseidon's eyes
that one where you're ripping the flesh off Hades
the part where you cut off Hermes' feet
beating the living shit out of Zeus or Hercules
everything in the Cronos fight from ripping off his fingernail to tearing him apart from the inside

Note that these are all God Of War 3 examples because that's the game where they mostly got it right. Because this stuff is satisfying to do with some form of player control, and doesn't feel like a QTE nor is it technically a QTE either. I hope that caveat means this stuff remains.

>>380653318
>You ranting about how you think it doesnt matter is not what I signed up for nor what I care about, nor what ANYONE cares about really.

If you think the big thing that people care about when it comes to QTEs is the number of seconds you have to press the button and not the lack of control, you are a fucking moron.

>without it theirs very little distinction between it and any other king of prompt

A lot of QTEs, especially in the GoW games, have very generous time limits. For any player with even average reaction-time it would make hardly any difference at all if you removed the time limits. I can count the number of times I failed a QTE across the entire series on one hand. The difference between a QTE and a "button prompt" is barely anything at all with or without the time limit.

Wow, is making inferences completely beyond you? Does something have to be explicitly stated in order for you to gather it? The lore of the trilogy takes place in the Greek pantheon and basically all ancient polytheistic myth stipulates that gods draw their power from their followers. In the trilogy, the gods became corrupt and their followers started losing faith, so they became weaker.

Furthermore, I can't point out the exact time, but I do remember a blurb in one of the games saying the followers stopped worshipping.

But what's even the fucking point of "expression"? Like the DMC/Platinum Games model doesn't really offer challenge as much as filling in combos. It's just a more directed form of button mashing. The challenges in those games aren't very diverse, and thus there isn't any reason to get good outside execution of combos. If execution is all a game can be based off of, it's shallow as fuck, barely above a casual game.

>>380658597

I forgot to mention the timed aspect in my first post, it was a mistake not some grand conspiracy you utter loon. But that isn't the shit that people care about, it's the lack of control. If you could stop sperging out about trivial technicalities for five seconds maybe you'd see that.

Why is this a God of War game?

>>380655202
he became the god of war

>>380636245
I guess that's because you will be watching so many cut scenes they expect you to put down the controller and make a coffee in the meantime.

>>380639457

I personally really liked GoW2 Kratos' designs. The default and Armored Kratos were ace.

GoW3 as a whole for me just felt underwhelming.

>>380636364
Kek. There's no winning with /v/eddit.

So when Spider-Man does it, it's cool?

>>380660438
>I thought you linked the thread because there was an interview where kamiya said he loves gow
No I linked a topic where we discussed game mechanics.
>just kill yourself, is painfully obvious you can't play those games. You probably spammed your way through God Hand too
But none of this makes a difference in terms of payoff mechanically. Just a filling of a meter with a grade attached on it (which is also extremely flawed in all these games as certain combos for no particular reason fill it up faster.)
>just imagine how casual gow is when it is also missing execution alongside everything else
Not really. GoW's a game that can be as easy or as hard as you want it to be, while also making every challenge worth it. One of the final videos posted in that topic for example was the example of homerunning out Hades Satyrs in a God Mode NUR in GoW1. Those Satyrs can't be square square triangled because they have mechanics built in to counter square button moves and conventional juggles, so homerunning with Artemis is required. Not only does it require precision in execution (a kind of precision not required in DMC where it's more just following the sequence of buttons), but it also requires precision in aiming and exploiting the environment correctly to get rid of them. NG has similar aspects as well where execution can be important, but when to do said execution after determining enemy placement is far more important compared to the more mindless DMC/Platinum Games enemies. Any game where execution is all they offer is ultimately casual, shallow, and repetitive. Now bring up something new instead of the tired old cliches tons of generic hivemind /v/ posters have brought up before you, and have brought up much more eloquently.

>>380660363
>You say this 15 posts later? Are you out your fucking mind?

I thought it was obvious at first and didn't need mentioning, but I didn't realize I was arguing with the most obtuse motherfucker on the planet.

>You dont get a platform to complain about bullshit after trying to weasel your way out of your own feces for 2 hours.

Sure I do. This is an anonymous image board, not fucking debate class. I feel like if anyone's trying to weasel their way out of something, it's you. You refuse to look at the broader argument I'm making and instead hyperfocus on one aspect of the definition that doesn't even change that much. It's how a child argues.

>people pretending God of War was good
>people pretending removal of QTEs are anything other than a bonus

>>380657052
Because Kratos is also a god and he draws his power from the same place. He became a god when he killed Ares. As far as the new game, a popular theory is that the Norse pantheon hasn't been established yet so that's why he's just a normal human. The only reason we know it's Norse mythology is because we saw some of the beasts. None of the gods have been shown.

So that alone already makes it better than previous games in the series.

Thank you based director.

Because I don't care about your broader argument. I was never involved in that. You have repeatedly attempt to entrapt me in something unrelated to the original point of your post and my response. You only admit your mistake now, when if you did it back then I wouldnt even be replying. But you never shut your lid

>>380662131
The world serpent was shown and that is a child of Loki. Also the gods were referenced in the trailer

>>380655508

Play DMC3 and Ninja Gaiden Black you dumb faggot. GoW is shit.

>>380662768
GoW is much better than your anime bullshit, bitch. Ninja Gaiden is a joke. Lets be honest, you dont like God of war because its strictly for heterosexuals

>>380662954
I don't like God of War because it's inferior DMC.

>strictly for heterosexuals
90% of the game the camera is focused on a nearly naked man.

>>380663276
>inferior DMC
>has more features
>has more diversity in gameplay
>can be much easier than DMC or much harder
>that godawful camera that's been in every cuhrayzee game to this day
Fuck no, DMC is nothing but combo, combo, combo. It's diversity in its comboing system is pointless too since enemy diversity is so low. The game's selling point is just "look how cool this stuff looks!" just like cinematic video games with no real depth in gameplay.

>there's not gonna be a fuck-the-whores-for-a-shitload-of-orbs qte

No, fuck this. It's not god of war without that qte.

Instead time will slow down whenever you attack an enemy for a more cinematic experience :^)

>>380662694
>You only admit your mistake now, when if you did it back then I wouldnt even be replying.

How oblivious are you that it took you until now to realize that was a mistake? It was clear as day. And if all you wanted was for me to admit it, then you're pathetically desperate for validation on an anonymous image board.

>>380663947
Nothing about this game looks like God of war

>>380664130

>In dramatic sequences, God of War might ask >to mimic the action happening on screen
the qtes are still there

Does that mean no sex minigames?

>>380664978
Is that a yes? Because you look like jackass either way. I know you think I was just pretending to be retarded for 50 posts just to get some epic troll on you or something, but no, I just made a mistake. Sorry for not admitting to a blatantly obvious mistake, I guess. Principle of charity be damned.

>>380665445
>you can do whatever combo you want on the enemies because there's no consequence otherwise!
>that somehow accounts for depth
>no variety in encounters, level design, or anything else
Damn, imagine if Street Fighter based skill just off of who can shoot the most hadokens in a row rather than the multitude of other mechanics the game has, or if you automatically became the best player in Metroid Zero Mission by just knowing how to wall jump, shinespark, and timing missiles instead of knowing when/where/how to use them.

>>380665517
QTEs aren't the same thing as unfolding the action on the screen. It's saying that there will be less of "press random button while Kratos isn't doing anything but moving around" and more of "press L3+R3 to gouge out Poseidon's eyes". It's called a quick TIMED event.

>>380664978
Well that answers that question

>>380642857
it's almost as if /v/ is more than one person

That's good now can they get rid of the stupid forced epic slow motion during gameplay next?

Damn looking at Kratos now is like watching a candle with a very dim light. He lost all those gains.

>>380667537

I hope he focuses on the gameplay too however.

>>380636743
That was actually a pain in the ass

>>380636245
I'll never understand people's gripe with QTEs here. I liked them in every game they are featured in. God of War made them a cool transition from the next boss phase or a finisher. Bayonetta has does the same thing but more wicked. Kingdom Hearts 2 makes each one unique for enemies and over the top for bosses which can be seen as a reward, a stun, or an interruption for the boss. I like them as a way of showing something that couldn't otherwise be in normal gameplay. There are some games where they are just plain bland though, like FFXV. But I still don't understand the complaints.

This game is honestly gonna be incredible. The more news we get the shittier it looks like

>>380662768
Why can't I like all three?

>>380636245
Well thats interesting i guess. I'm not opposed to qtes really, but it has to be used sparingly.
Really excited for this game either way though.

>>380636554
Ive played 3 and it was the cut-scenes. Like, every almost 5 minutes. I raged like a fucking kid over this critically acclaimed piece of semi-enjoyable blur.
