I don't know what some are bitching about. The combat looks fantastic and we've got double jump and air combos back.

this thread is going exactly how i thought it would before i opened it

i just dont like how it's called a god of war game when it technically isnt. also, for all the ghashing of the teeth about sony girl bossing, i mean, they kinda are with their last few big game releases. last of us, ghost of yotei, uncharted, god of war etc

it's still going to sell, but to say there's not been an obvious push is disingenuous

Sony’s ps5 offerings have been so disappointing.

Not really a fair comparison unless you use a pic of Deborah Ann Woll right after her death

So are gamers incapable of playing a woman protagonist they can't see themselves fricking?

I'm looking forward to the breakdown of how Santa Monica Studio removed her vagina bones.

It's relative.

Compared to an average release, it'll probably do decent sales.

Compared to GoW2018 and Ragarok? Will be pitiful.

Similar franchise situation, Uncharted 4 sold 20 million copies. Uncharted Lost Legacy, the gal spinoff immediately after it sold 5 million.

I’m just amused at the female artists uglying up a female model because of insecurity.

I’m not trying to frick the pixels, sicboy. I promise.

I never once thought to myself playing the recent god of war games:

“Man, it sure would be cool to play Kratos dead wife.”

fricking Sony, every fricking game has to be a 90 pound female.

Y'all lost your minds when they put a 170 pound female in Last of Us Part 2.

Wolverine looks awesome. as stated before, i have been a huge wolverine fan since i was a lil kid. This is the game i always wanted for the character.

Dino survival game ,the lost wild, looks interesting, not my thing probably though. looks good still.

No rest for wicked caught my attention a little

a dynasty warrior 3 remake, hell why not.
after silent hill f which i was pleasantly surprised with, i am down for townfall.

Several other things that look interesting.

Then there's God of War. Ugh. Visually looks great, well put together, sounds good. The setting seems very interesting.
I am not going to lie, i am disappointed we wont be getting more of Kratos (probably). That is why i come to a god of war title. I know some people may be tired of that. So this trailer needed to sell Faye to us. it really didnt do that for me. Dialogue was borderline horrible. Combat with her looks....off...a lot of floaty gravity defying stuff. Then frankly, i dont like Woll. She has always been the weakest link in things she has been in that i otherwise liked. I dont think she is good enough to by the focal point of the whole game. I'll still keep an eye on it but its not going be an auto sell to me. The whole side kick ribbon/cube dynamic is going to get old....real fast.

Overall though, id say a pretty good state of play.

There are plenty of games where you can play beefy strong man. Faye was a really interesting character in the previous 2 games, a giant to boot. And I believe this is what Barlog has been working on. Be a little more open minded or miss out on probably a great experience, especially if this is Cory's game.

I feel confident Santa Monica Studios has been wanting to move away from Kratos for a while, and if you watched their documentary Raising Kratos, fans were over him as well until the 2018 release.

I'm sure that character will be involved in this game to some degree.


Then don't call it God of War. Kratos is the God of War. I'd feel the same way if they made a new Tomb Raider staring some dude. Lara Croft is Tomb Raider

Kratos wasn't God of War yet in the first game. You do see Sekhmet, who is the Egyptian God of War, in the trailer for the new game. Maybe you fight various Gods of War from other realms.

I have to admit, I'm more interested in Girl of War now after seeing the trailer than I was before when it was first rumored. Story is not what I expected and could be interesting. Gameplay looks fun. I think this will be like Ghost of Yotei where people hate the idea but most seem to have fun with it when they actually play it. The problem is getting people to play it.

Looked way better and more fluid than Kratos clunking around in the last 2 games.

Remember when 80% of the moves you unlock for Kratos in Ragnarok were the exact same moves you unlocked in 2018?
