God of War needs an open RPG world

Sony needs to make god of war an open world rpg. It could be sony's Zelda. Given the type of game god of war is there is a lot of material for the developers to work with.

Off topic but Zelda isn't a RPG.

Hard to imagine God of War universe as an RPG.. but anything is possible I guess.

games like zelda and GoW are more into action adventure/rpg, rpg doesnt play a strong role in these games but they also exist to some extent such as having a magic meter. but an open world will just throw off the games gameplay, GoW needs to be different and fresh and new, and not stick to same type of battle system, it feels old

They should create a new game, in which you make a new character and explore the world post Kratos.

They should emulate how Mass Effect did a Shooter/RPG hypbrid, just GOW gameplay/RPG hybrid in contrast to how GOW normally works. It would also be cool if they emulated how mass effect has old game's save files effect the next game and such.

No just leave God of War alone period.

kratos looks at rpg's with great displeasure...no, but really i think it would just sully the name of a good franchise. milikn it is popular and all these days but i think its time for old boy to hang the blades up and kick off his sandals and enjoy retirement.

correct, its an action adventure game and its one of my favorite gaming series.

And on topic I think god of war is fine the way it is, yea some things will need to change to keep it fresh but its pacing and set pieces are excellent just the way they are and changing it into a completely different genre is not the right direction for it IMO. Besides I dont think kratos is the kind of guy who would take his adventure slow or go around talking to people in towns, vengeance waits for no one.

I, hell i even though Dante's Inferno was a better take on the genre then GoW.. at least it was original in a few of its concepts.PoisoN_Facecam0

Dante's Inferno original? :lol: It was a cliched "save the damsel in distress" story shoehorned into a 700 year-old poem.

how about a new IP. letthis oneend.

[QUOTE="PoisoN_Facecam0"]I find Kratos as a protagonist to be completely boring and shallow.. I've played all 3 God of War games trying to find what people think is so great about them and was rewarded with a mediocre hack n slash with a boring predictable story, the genre itself is flawed and they should stop making GoW game entirely or bring in someone who knows how to put a proper story/ gameplay together.. Example of a great hack n slash.. DMC3, Bayonetta, hell i even though Dante's Inferno was a better take on the genre then GoW.. at least it was original in a few of its concepts. GoW replaces story and content with extreme gore and eye candy.. /rantjubeio

BOTH OF YOU ARE WRONG!

God of War is one of the best trilogies in gaming, just because it doesn't have the depth of NG and DMC doesn't make it any less entertaining, course it is up to the individual but none can deny the effect GOW has had on the genre. And DMC3 along with DMC1 are the best in the franchise, Dante is awesome in DMC3 whereas in DMC2 he doesn't even act like Dante but more as a brick wall. Sure in the original he wasn't as cocky but no way was he the silent type, you just knew this guy was wild in his youth and DMC3 fully realised that, not to mention it has the best gameplay in the series :)

It that happened, I'd probably enjoy the series.

BOTH OF YOU ARE WRONG! Dante is awesome is DMC3 whereas in DMC2 he doesn't even act like Dante but more as a brick wall.

Amen and thanks for clearing that up :)

A God of War RPG could work if they do it right.

I could see it. However, I think Kratos's time has passed. There's only so many spin offs they can make before they start killing it. MrSelf-Destruct

nonono i love god of war i think its fantastici was merely stating the fact that DMC 3 was ruined by dante's cockynessi thought the second was also better for story IMO but first being best for storyjubeio
