I love this idea, I certainly would love a God of War with Zelda gameplay. Please make this Sony. :D

David Jaffe Wants To Make "God of War Meets Zelda"

Aside from working hard at putting the finishing touches onTwisted Metalfor its release date on February 14, 2012, David Jaffe likes to write blogs on hispersonal website. On hislatest blog post, the eccentric developer contemplated what it would be like if he ever directs anotherGod of Wargame. And although he actually would prefer not to come back to the game franchise that made him famous back in the PS2 era, he mentioned that he would consider a return if and only if the conditions were right.

Right conditions for developers usually mean that whether he/she will be given enough budget and time to make it, as well as plenty of creative freedom. However, David has a slightly different take on it:

A lot of people ask me if I'd ever make another GOD OF WAR (assuming that opportunity was offered) and I always say the same thing: if it were GOD OF WAR meets something like ZELDA (formula wise), then yes (aka Darksiders, right?)…But if it were GOD OF WAR using the current formula, I would not. For me- and this is just me PERSONALLY (I get and respect not everyone shares this same thinking)- directing GOD OF WAR made me realize that as a game designer (and certainly as game director) I want our games to serve the gods of GAMEPLAY first and foremost. My and then team's desire to tell a story/make a movie may or may not get to be fulfilled (depending on the game) but if we do tell a story, it will never come at the expense of the gameplay (the thing that makes our medium matter and special). Games can have story (and many should, such as God of War) and most games- even pure play games- should have strong world and IP. But working on God of War made it clear that- for me- if we have to cut a set piece or bit of spectacle because of our desire to put play first, then so be it. Ideally, the BEST games are those that do both.

Come on Sony, David just made his move, now it's your turn!

But he already gave away the plot ofr his GOW.

I would buy that.

I'd be interested in that. I would love to get a less-kiddie version of Zelda. Demon's/Dark Souls kind of does it with the gameplay but the story isn't there

ahaahhahaa. Would be hilarious. Especially if there are the sex scenes between Link and Zelda, with Zelda going "Am I too much women for you Link?" as Link bones her. Also, there needs to be ridiculous amount of gore like the other God of War games.

(yes I know this isn't really what he meant)

I have been saying this for some time now. I would love to see an open world god of war like adventure. And yes I am excited for Darksiders II :P.

If you're actually expecting this to end up being an actual game some day you'll probably be waiting a long time.incuensuocha

Maybe he is messing with us like Twisted Metal. David Jaffe God of War PS3 exclusive(add it to the list).

So......basically, he wants to make GoW for kids?Deniable_Ops

Games dont need to be grim and gruesome to be have adult relating content. People will never understand this I guess.

They have this Zelda perception burned into them. No matter what one says, they will not think differently.

On topic, I'm not against the idea. Go for it, Jaffe.

I gotta admit, any GoW on consoles is a buy from me. Make it happen!

So...he want to make Darksiders

madsnakehhh

To be fair, he only needs to make use of GoW's combat to instantly top Darksiders. :lol:

Don't get me wrong, the Zelda games are great (Ocarina of Time is my favorite game ever) but they are meant to appeal to everyone and be accessible to everyone. I'm talking a diffcult game with a deeper combat system with more RPG elements and a much darker theme through (kind of how OoT was as Adult Link).

Basically the game would be similar to Demon's Souls except it would star an actual protagonist and would have an deep story. If you've played Demon's Souls or Dark Souls than you know that would be awesome

ugh. thats not what I want out of a god of war game. i dont want more "open world" elements and **** like that. the god of war universe is already fleshed out enough. it doesnt need an open world to accomplish that.

I want more badass, monumental scaled, gore soaked greatness that the series has been based on. god of war offers us action, scope, and brutality on a scale that no other game matches. there is no reason for it to conform to other games' styles and methods. and I guarantee if its open world, it wont have as many epic moments as the other GOW games and it simply wont be as good. period.

Didnt he say he wanted to take a 10 year break from GoW? :/eboyishere

it doesn't help either that i find kratos obnoxious and characterless and that i've never been a fan of greek mythology.

and it's not that i don't like hack'n'slashes, it's just that GoW specifically does not appeal to me at all. i think it might have something to do with his weapon of choice too. ridiculous range and a fixed camera for combat takes away a lot of what i enjoy in action games.

I'm doubting this game would ever happen, but if it does I'm thinking it would be awesome. I know I'd try it anywayz. >>. Though...

[QUOTE="Deniable_Ops"]So......basically, he wants to make GoW for kids?nintendoboy16

I guess I can't really remember or didn't pay much attention to the quite grim parts of Majora's Mask, and it's been forever since I played it. But like, can you clarify what was so grim about it?

Really, I have no idea at the moment. xD /nubby

I can understand why you wouldnt like the button mashing gameplay (although it does take some skill), but I do enjoy the series a lot. It is one of the few hack and slashes I really get into. If you played 1 for only an hour or so and put it down, I urge you to pick it back up and play more. The beginning of 1 is probably the worst part in the series.

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"] Zelda is not that "kiddy" of a series, play Majora's Mask and it shows that series can be quite grim.nintendoboy16

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] it's neither. i've tried to get into the series. god knows i have. but it always comes off as a mindless button mashing, a boring hack'n'slash. hell i've played quite a bit of GoW3 at my friend's, mostly because everyone but me were fans of the game and they wanted to beat it, but at one point i just passed the controller when it was my turn.
