Is this the next leap in the hack n slash genre?

>focus on good characters without mindless zany, wacky characters with one liners out the ass
>grounded story without played out anime tropes that other series rely on
>beloved gameplay returns with some tweaks for the better (camera giving the player a better connection to Kratos for his brutal attacks and moments with his son)
>no qtes
>no combo meter
>art style is consistent throughout the entire game

Granted we don't know how it's gong to turn out, but this gives me hope that the hack n slash genre won't die.

No but I'm sure it will be the best output for western hack and slash since it will be about the only one. Wait for Devil may cry to return or for Itsuno to make a new hack n slash ip. Or maybe platinum will stop reusing mgr combat system and just tweaking it

It's a TLoU reskin. Even the original GOW took more skill.

>hack n slash genre

How is this an acceptable redesign? They basically just pasted a beard onto the old model.

Remember when action games were called action games instead of "hack and slash" games? /v/ doesn't.
Remember when Diablo 2 was a hack and slash game? /v/ doesn't.
Remember when people made fun of story heavy action games? /v/ doesn't.

The hack and slash genre is diablo and the like, not DMC or GoW.

You're kidding yourself if you think this is good or that it would get somewhere.

to be honest god of war feels so fucking bland after playing bayonetta and mgr
it focuses on looking flashy while the gameplay is just a cheap excuse to sell it as a videogame, the other 2 games actually bother doing both things right

Honestly, the combat looks like they looked at Skyrim's combat in third person, and then looked at Dark Souls' combat and said "Let's mash it together and see what happens"

It looks good. Graphics are breathtaking. It doesn't look as fast-paced as the first three GoW games
