No QTE in new God of War

>>380748103
Wow now it's gonna be shit

>>380748103
Good, God of War has to atone for the only sin it committed and it was the QTE, along with RE4.

>>380748103
I really didnt like the combat and the camera behind his back doesn't look that great. I heard it will be open wolrd so i suppose it was necessary but i just doesnt look good.

Fucking DROPPED

they're just gonna call em "cutscene button prompts" or something

This just says to me: "We are reinforcing your beliefs that we have removed any semblance of possible gameplay in order to make the series even more cinematic and boring"

What an awful direction this game is taking. Did the developers not learn from the failure that was The Order: 1886?

>>380748701
No, they probably will not have button presses

>>380748537
I don't think the camera angle is shitty. It actually looks kind of new and interesting; I don't think I've ever played a melee action game with a camera quite like this. It looks like some kind of fluid combination of RE4 / God Hand and Dark Souls (with no lock on). It seems like you can block with your shield anytime and can quickly dash or roll around to reposition yourself. Hopefully they have implemented some kind of quick-turn system that you can maybe use with the dashes/rolls

>>380748103
How much you want to bet it really is QTE but they just call it something else like contextual button prompt or some other jargon?

>>380748103
I never saw anything wrong with it from the trailers aside from the fighting not looking like the previous game. But see the 2nd trailer it shows fighting looking nearly the same as GoW3 with the included little shit kid helping.

The only issue here is people clearly never played the previous GoW games. There are a lot of slow parts and story telling in the games, just the trailers for the previous games always showed off fighting. This time around they are showing off more story telling because thats what ultimately GoW turned into after 1. The original creator of 1 wanted to stop there, but the story was to good to stop.

>>380748103
>GOTY material now
too mad they managed to fuck the gameplay EVEN MORE now

>>380749719
Or they'll just replace qtes with slow walking sections where a npc is spouting exposition at you.

>>380748847
This. Everything will probably be visual cues and when en enemy reaches a weakened state, you can press a button to do a cinematic kill or just keep attacking with no button prompts.

The inclusion of QTEs don't make or break a game. The way the article describes it, it just sounds like a QTE without prompts, and instead just mashing the attack button. The way it's coming off, it's combat isn't going to hold up with the old fans, and doesnt look intereating enough for the uninitiated.

>>380749618
see
>>380749575

>>380750046
Out of the twenty people I knew that really loved the franchise, none of them was a combo heavy player. Even online, I think I'be only ever seen two guys who can do a 15+ combos without spamming magic. Trust me, the old fans are going to love this.

So my problem with this is that from all the combat gameplay, a lot of the kills on the giants and whatever look like the violent QTE kills from the previous games. I'm betting they're just taking out the button prompts and the movie meme is becoming reality.

>>380748103
You can't fix garbage gameplay by just removing QTEs

>>380750046
>it's combat isn't going to hold up with the old fans
It's not a game for the old fans. It's review/game awards bait, it's the Last of Us game, that has to keep people interested in the PS4 until Naughty Dog can finish Last of Us 2.

>>380748103
How am I supposed to have a cinematic experience without QTE's?

>>380750634
>not knowing every GoW game has story telling and ton of slow parts for puzzles and cutscenes.
>not knowing GoW3 had pandora you dragged around for a bit to do shit for you

Why do fags who haven't even played the games try and talk shit? Judging from the 2nd trailer i got more of a GoW3 feel than anything. I don't see TLoU affecting much in the game aside from the art.

I wonder if people would complain just as much if they made a sequel with the same mechanics as the last 4.

Gee, I wonder if the big twist will be that he ends up starting up the Ragnarök, realizes that Loki is a dipshit as well and ends up fighting with Aesir in the sequels, probably gets killed off in silence while his son is one of the few humans who survive.

Odin is a dick to him at some point, probably related to his inevitable son's death so he can scream "OOODDIIINNNNN!" and murder the entire Norse mythology.

Thats God of War games in a nutshell. Kratos kills everyone. Literally. And when he's done killing everyone, he kills himself because theres nobody else left to be angry at.

GoW was always about gameplay. This abomination isn't.

Combos had nothing to do with GoW. It's an efficiency focused series that stresses grabs, the environment, magic and playing dirty. This is none of those.

Weird. QTEs on finisher gory moves were kind of the staple of the GoW series. I guess this game is going to break some traditions, like the sex minigames.

>>380755659
Is that confirmed?

Was hoping Kratos would pound the qt from the trailer.

I'm actually interested to try this. I never played the previous ones.

>>380755784
Not really but since the game is meant to be more emotional and story-based I kind of supposed it would get rid of distracting elements

So instead of QTEs you have forced walking sections. Gotchu senpai.

QTEs are a good thing if they are challenging

Fact

QTE hating is just a dumb meme. Some people started saying QTEs are bad, with flimsy explanations, and everyone started repeating it, making it a meme
Like "Trump colluded with the russians". No proof, but everyone is saying it so it must be true

>>380756240
yeah, you are forced to walk your character in video game. What were they thinking?

>>380757862
Nope, kid needed to speak so there's a back and forth between him and Kratos. Having Kratos say something and him not replying or emoting back would be weird and one-sided.

>>380757619
I wouldn't go that far, but I'd rather play Ascension any day over 4

>>380750046

What makes a QTE a QTE is that you are pressing different buttons than normal to perform them. Like you are pressing the heavy attack button to grab your son's hand before he falls off a cliff, or you are mashing the shoulder buttons to rip off an enemy's head when those buttons are normally used for something else (such as aiming+throwing your axe and blocking w/ your shield). This is why *real* QTEs have button prompts that show up on the screen; because otherwise you wouldn't know what to press.
If you are pressing heavy attack on a stunned enemy and it performs / starts a brutal execution move, that is a contextual attack, NOT a QTE. People really need to learn the difference.

>>380753182
This is literally the same gameplay that was in previous games, only difference is the camera angle and shorter range, and that's only because he's using an axe and shield here. Give him the chains and it's literally the same.

RE 4 and GoW games had the only good QTE imo

>>380748103
I want to be happy about this decision but the sad truth is that QTE were probably the best thing in the past GoW.

You guys are insufferable

>>380754646
>Prove me wrong you dumb fuck.
GoWII has the best gameplay in the series and dumbest story retard.

>>380748103
So are those battle cutscenes just triggered automatically then?

Amazing, somehow they made it even worse.

QTEs in GoW never really bothered me aside from opening chests and doors.

>>380764109
how niw ar u????????????

>>380758721
The definition of "QTE" is irrelevant. We're not arguing semantics. If you want to call it a "contextual attack" or "cinematic takedown" or "interactive cutscene" then fine, but that doesn't suddenly make it okay.

>>380749259
But anon, what if it's a feature no one likes?

>>380764458
It's either a QTE or a cutscene. If it's a QTE you whine that it indeed is a QTE. If it's a cutscene you whine about "losing control" and not being able to do that cool move by yourself.
It's a lose/lose by /v/ standards.

>>380764458
contextual attacks are great, fuck off
the player controls the context

>>380764062
it's nothing like Ryse if only because it Ryse has bamham combat and this doesn't

QTE's in God of War were great though

The combat looks flaccid and lacking weight.

ITT: people don't know the difference between a QTE and a contextual prompt

>contextual prompt
press the button here to do an action

>QTE
press the button here or you die/take damage

>>380766236
Probably one of the few games that did QTE right. Personally, I think people who hate QTE in games played a couple games with really bad QTE segments, so they hate the mechanic as a whole now.

>new God of War removes QTEs
>suddenly everyone loved the QTEs in old God of War
you people really want to hate everything, huh?

>>380765462
I wouldn't even call them cutscenes. They are just combat animations. The rest of the game world is still going on around you as you perform them

3's QTE animation sequences were fucking great.

QTEs was never the thing i've heard people complain about the new god of war.

If only it wasn't directed as if it was yet another hollywood-flick-but-since-its-a-videogame-i-guess-its-not-so-bad moviegame from sony, maybe aspies who like vidya wouldn't be so skeptical.

>>380767589
I misunderstood because you said nothing about contextual animations, when the anon you quoted said all three were the same thing. I had to assume you were either lumping them in as with QTEs or with cutscenes and I went with the latter, because no games do mid-game cutscenes except for Deus Ex and because contextual animations often tend to be fairly long, so /v/ always complains that they take away control.

It would help if everyone didn't have their own personal definitions for these things

>>380748103

While no QTEs are nice, the combat in the God of War games were never that good. That was a big reason why they added them in: to make the combat look more engaging.

You learn something new every day. Though you really should have already known this, since contextual attacks have been around for ages.
