I have to say the boxart does absolutely nothing to suggest 'GOD OF WAR'

A man and his son sailing idly on a boat?

Said it a million times, but I am not gonna lie I am still pretty triggered that they removed the best camera in action games. Why? Other things are far more understandable; we haven't seen everything so we can't say. But this? It's obvious the game's still an action game, so why remove the "high enough to see everything, perfectly automatic" camera angles?

>>384090480
because fuck doing what makes senseto improve your game, just make it so game reviewers can pan the camers around the skybox for their portion on how pretty it is

Down-time between the intense parts. They have been around far longer than you think, it's just that the recent games make it more obvious with the dialogue in them.

>>384092434
thats not forced walking sections. forced walking sections are cutscenes "but not really cause you have to hold down forward"

A coworker of mine is jizzing about this game, he's a normalfag I guess that no matter how shit this game is because it looks like It will be a commercial success.

Not all forced walking sections are done like cutscenes, though it's a more recent trend. It makes sense from a design perspective where there's still something going on in the down time. I prefer Uncharted's climbing to that though.

Also,

>>384093409
you seem to not know what a forced walking section is. Exploration and gameplay outside of combat are not forced walking sections. forced walking sections are very much "this is a cutscene, but we want you to feel involved, so have this barely existent gameplay where all you do is walk forwards"

If it is anything like the last of us or uncharted then yes they can boast that as those games literally have the best 3rd person camera system.

>>384093698
Yes, and in more linear games, this is used as a way to have somewhat more engaging player downtime than shit like cutscenes or loading screen. Downtime has always been a thing in intense single player linear games.

agreed. game looks as amazing as the TLOU. here's hoping Cratos is killed off in this and his son is the next god of war for the sequel. or maybe it can be about him rescuing his dad from hades or something.

>>384095668
All of THE sudden

>>384089665
It might be better than it looks, but as of yet I don't see any real reason for it to be a God of War game. I don't mean the story, either -- it makes sense Kratos might change, and family was always his soft spot. I mean the overall priorities we've seen so far.
>>384095658
They're pretty good. Inconsistent, in some respects, but good.

>>384095761
So we have nothing to discuss then.
If you watch the gameplay of God of war we have so far you can see the camera even zooms out during some moments in the fight to ease up on the player.

Who gives a flying fucking shit? If the camera isn't invasive no one should give a fuck.

>>384096002
Yes, and it still doesn't cover the kind of area previous GoW camera used to while at the same time having to be moved manually otherwise. Both of those are objectively worse for action games.

They are great for TLOU or Uncharted because those games don't have a "wide open area of enemies surrounding you" thing and they are shooters. It's also great for God Hand's weird style that's restrictive compared to a typical action game in certain ways so the camera works well for it, too. God Of War is nothing like either of these.

The saddest part about this is the fact Sony would pander so hard and make a well received hack and slash action game, into an over the shoulder 30fps motion blur movie game.

It's like when whatever the fuck company made those stupid Star Wars singing games for the kinect.

People "like" kinect. + People "like" Star Wars. + People "like" singing/dancing games = Star Wars Singing Dancing Kinect game.

Sony, have you have any fucking backbone? If Sony were selling fucking degenerate pedophile simulator games by the truckload, they'd say "well, people like these kinds of games so now God of War is a pedophile simulator".

First franchises that came to my mind was R&C, but that game is so heavily ingrained in gameplay, and it just got a movie-tie in game. So that's out. Time crisis or some shit? Pull out the dead IPs.....

>Button prompt to press triangle appears on screen.

OH NO SURPRISE A WILD SNAKE ATTACKS YOU
>Button prompt to press triangle appears on screen.
If you hit it fast enough, dodge. If not, take damage.
You kill the snake at the end of the QTE.

I had more fun watching "TLOU The Movie" on youtube than I had actually playing the game.

Seriously Sony if you're reading this, those compiled cutscene videos on youtube are taking away so many sales. You should get on that. Don't want people watching your movies without paying.

>>384097616
With a rooted camera you have to restrict controls as well, as having shit like long dashes won't exist unless they completely eat away at the frame rate, and double jumping, or hell even just basic jumping, also risk not being included due to camera limitations, with Kratos only climbing and propelling himself upward in cinematic moments.

This is nothing more than story garbage being pushed because that's what everyone eats up these days. DmC is more of an action game than this bastardization of GoW.

This is just flat out wrong. Uncharted 2 is the template of naughty dog games.
They have a solid gameplay fundament and a story that supports said gameplay (except Uncharted 4 to some amount, but it still has the best gameplay in all of the games so it kind of evens out). They also have a multiplayer component that is actually really active. I believe even Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 3 have active multiplayers to this day, not to mention Uncharted 4.

They are all approx 13-17 hour games that have maybe 1.5 hours of cutscenes at most and the rest is gameplay.

How will you spin this cuck?

Uncharted 1-3 are all roughly 10 hours long, with 4 being 15 hours but having far more scripted shit.

And that's what Naughty Dog is great at. Creating these scripted events where it FEELS like you're playing, but in reality you're just following a linear path to hit the next part of the story. I'm not falling for your bullshit where these games have dozens of hours of "gameplay" when everything is so similar to a shitty chase scene where you sit on the mounted turret and shoot the bad guys that show up, or you're running away and making sure you hit the correct button prompts to avoid a failure screen.

I'm not saying Uncharted is a bad series, but it's one of the last games or franchises I'd buy into where "gameplay" is a main selling point. I'd play them because Nathan Drake is goofy and following him as a character is all fun and good, but definitely not because of the "gameplay."

It felt like to me when I played through 4 at least. Maybe because of how short the other 2 games were.

And I don't include TLoU because it's honestly one of the most boring games I've ever played. It's one of the few video games where I dozed off while playing. And I'm not shitposting, because I hate this trope of walking, listening to characters complain and whine, fight a room full of bad guys, rinse repeat.

At least when games like TWD did it, everyone was already aware that Telltale didn't really make "games."

I expect the low sales are simply because the games are not very good.
they are OK, kratos is an angry nigger running around assblasted killing gods, but the entire combat is simplified to spam square x2 triangle.

I don't know anything about this game but I hate that everyone jumped on Kratos' son not being related to him as nu-male cuckoldry. I mean it could be a "me and my wifes son" thing but taking orphans from conquered enemies and raising them as your own is, in a historical context, a symbol of completely defeating your enemies.

I despise this. I dont think the story or combat drives this series but just its epic world and cinemmatic moments breaking the flow of otherwise easy repetitive gameplay. But there were times were the camera showed Kratos as nothing but a figure in the distance walking towards his destination. Those epic times where the player might feel compelled to walk. Take it all in. No one wants to be forced to walk. Its hand holdy and just annoying.
