God Of War Hype Thread! Press ? repeatedly to hype - 9@GS 95 MC - Let the feast begin!

@deeph: I agree that most gaming journalists are biased and incompetent yes but not towards Nintendo any more than anything else.

And if you are not going to play GOW then you can not have any opinion as you will never play it to comment on its originality or anything else. So why keep talking about it? You don't bring anything relevant to this thread neither can you comment about the gameplay since you know, YOU have not played it.

what a score well done to the developers

The majority of games are by definition, movie games these days. Damn, gamers sure do not play a lot.

Somehow I doubt you ever even played any of the GOW games with the comments you made in the bold. You sound like another fanboy idiot who calls games movies that they have not even played which is stupid and childish. This whole "movie" thing has run its course. You guys need something new to lie about. Also you clearly don't not anything about the game as you do not babysit. Did you even pay attention to what is going on in the game? Of course you didn't because YOU are not a gamer.

Another great Sony Exclusive experience, thank you Santa Monica Studios! Sony and Nintendo are making gaming great again!

I guess we have seen different podcasts and coverage because the Nintendo bias is very prevalent from what I have seen.

Ironically they are called "video games", but nothing he said was remotely true. I have not played any "movie" games from Sony since you actually have to control the characters and choose what to do in the games. The guy has not even played the new GOW to comment on how the game play is yet all the media are praising the combat and people like him want to throw salt on a great game that they will never play. Ridiculous. These guys are not gamers anyway. They just bash games they have not played or can not play.

@ChubbyGuy40: resorting to memes is basically saying you conceded, thanks.

@calvincfb: It sounds line he doesn't play any games. All games draw influences from previous games. I would like to see his player profile, it should be ALL original games that have defined a genre with no copycats.

@tigerbalm: "bu bu bu but no ultra settings and 60fps"

@calvincfb: Yes, the butthurt fanatics are hiding behind PC, BotW, backwards compatibility in the 5th year on a console lifecycle and 4K.

Kratos's long time voice actor was replaced for a much more prolific Hollywood actor who could also do the motion capture for cutscenes. Having such a heavy focus on the story and cutscenes are what people mean by movie-games. Also lol @ your projection.

This very thread should give you an insight at what people think. Xbox fans think there is bias towards Sony games because Horizon: Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4 and many other Sony games scored highly whereas games like Quantum Break or Ryse did meh.

Atreus is pretty capable, he's included in the combat system with his bow and arrows. I'm not sure where the toned down part comes from, they haven't shown off any of the boss fights to avoid spoilers. If anything, the scale is even bigger in this one.

Apparently the gameplay in this one is the best yet and there's more of it too. If you add all the previous GOW games together you'll probably end up with about as much or even less gameplay than in this one.

You should watch Skill Up's review. Near the start he says he doesn't really like The Last of Us, Uncharted, or Horizon as he found them boring but God of War takes the best aspects of all of them and then also succeeds as a videogame where they failed, and that it's the best game available on PS4.

I'm kind of in the same feeling in that Uncharted 4 was one of the most boring games I've played this gen but I'm looking forward to playing God Of War.

Have you ever played games before kid LOL? Most games have prolific Hollywood voice actors or a voice actor period. Ever heard of Halo or GTA? I bet you didn't know Tom Sizemore and Samual L Jackson did the voices in in San Andreas or that Ray Liotta was Tommy Vercetti in GTA Vice City? This whole "movie game" thing is just stupid fanboy crap because Sony is kicking the competition's green butt LOL. Mo cap and cut scenes have been a round since 3D gaming started to take over. So RPGs are movie games since they focus on story? See how dumb that sounds. It's called having an interesting plot and good characters. Something that games like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, FF and Mass Effect were all praised for so why are people not complaining about those "movie games"? I swear some of you people are straight out of the another universe. I never hear these terms offline. Why is that?

To ruin the experience for Playstation gamers. They did it when Uncharted 4 and Horizon came out as well. Just being jackasses.

Legends say everytime Sony drops another masterpiece games their dick grows.. it's currently 4,473,583,954 feet long from last estimations.

Meanwhile Microsoft is that small frail guy sitting in the corner of the porno watching his wife get smashed.

You're trying to claim an argumentative victory to a reaction to something you said to a different person.

Don't worry. The need for that kind of validation goes away around the time you make it past post-secondary education.

@ChubbyGuy40: yeah, still resorted to memes and now tried to justify yourself. Smh.

Don't even bother man. I doubt that guy even has a PS4 with his childish comments. As for the bold. Uncharted 4 being boring to you doesn't matter because you have more to play such as GOW. That's the benefit to gaming on PS4. I loved Uncharted 4 and think its a great and exciting game, but GOW will destroy it. Either way, we don't have to settle since we get many games to choose from.

Every page in thread has a new way trying to down play GOW, now it's movie game. Xbox Fanatics are the scourge of the gaming industry.

Says the one that just called Xbox fans a bunch of cucks.

@ChubbyGuy40: you might be confusing me with someone because I said no such thing.

@blufalconultra: movie games is the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life. But the only people who say that are PC Gamers that are butthurt over not having good budget quality titles exclusive to them.

Projecting again, and you completely ignored the point that was made because you can't refute it. Sony games of late have a heavy emphasis on implementing cinematography, and some people don't like that.

Also going offline means going outside and that requires effort on your part, so that's why you've never heard it.

@calvincfb: Apologies. I wasn't aware that wasn't a custom forum avatar so I saw the same thing and assumed that was you.

That's true yet the PC fanboys keep begging for PS4 games and Xbox fanboys are salty too.

I understood what you said perfectly, but the point is that you can say that about a lot of games, not just from Sony and cinematography was around for years which you seem to ignore as does other people. Not projecting anything on you, just pointing out the stupid crap from Sony haters in general -not saying you are one- and its sad since they have no games to talk about on the level of GOW. GOW has always had cinematic aspects so it should not be an issue now. That last part is ironic since most people in SW just sit online all day bashing games they can't play lol. Also Sony has not had a game that focused on cinematography since Uncharted 4, which was two years ago. No need to refute anything because its BS.

@ChubbyGuy40: it's fine, I'm going to change my avatar by the way.

Well if Sony took me to Norway...I'd be pretty happy with the game too.

;)

Funny enough, there was very little to spoil in those games.

Finally being able to play a good game. I'm sure you would be extremely happy.

Finally? Bro dude, what are you jishin about dawg?

Deep emotional story. Journalists are shedding a tear everywhere.

I will be waiting a month or more for real reviews. Uncharted 4 was burdened with too many cutscene and reviews lied that it was not like Uncharted 3 cutscene heaviness. I am waiting for someone to address the level of non interactiveness in relation to gameplay.

God of War has completely destroyed these fanboys. The whole "movie game" excuse isn't working.

Sony's so called "movie games" are getting released to critical acclaim all over the industry. I'd be embarrassed if I was a fanboy and these movie games were outscoring my mediocre flops I'm hyping on my flopping console. It's sad that GOW, Uncharted, Horizon, etc. are better than all the games on the Flopbone exclusive library. I don't even know how lems can damage control this, it's sad.

If you're a lem out there damage controlling just give up man. It's over, Sony has completely clowned MS. While MS is busy releasing trash like Crackhead 3 and Sea of Flops, Sony is bust releasing GOTY and GOTG contenders like UC4, GOW, HZD, Spiderman, Bloodborne, etc. Sony isn't even trying now, they've completely murdered the Flopbone library and they are just pissing on the corpse now.

As for PC elitists doing the whole "movie game" damage control, you guys are looking like total idiots. The only major AAA PC exclusive, Star Citizen, is very deep in cinematic and motion capture. Chris Roberts has hired tons of talented actors to create Squadron 42 and Star Citizen. If you're going to start bashing GOW and Sony games for being "movie games", you clowns better bash Star Citizen as well.

@quadknight: Reviews don't determine my liking of a game. Uncharted 4 was awful and score 10 on this site, while a game like Horizon scored 9. One of those games was a movie game and the other wasn't. One of those games I will never replay the other I have . So, critical acclaim matters only to the developers and fanboys.

@quadknight: Game's getting great reviews across the board and is gonna sell gazillions. The **** is there to walltext about?

The guy didn't say he hated Sony, only that it was yet another big, hyped title from them infused with a premise he doesn't like. (Third person, over the shoulder, big focus on storytelling and cinematography, role of the parental guardian, etc) You can say that about a lot of games, but we're talking about a Sony developed one right now which is a sequel to a franchise people know and love. Why does it get called a movie game? Go back and look at the 2016 reveal trailer. It's 10 minutes long yet there's only about a minute and a half worth of actual gameplay footage. The lack of a HUD doesn't help, because we don't know what parts are automated and what's not. (early footage, understandable.) The rest of it is slow walking while listening to dialogue, along with some slow camera panning to look at the environments. A year later and we have more footage of the same scenes and it mostly cutscenes, or non-player controlled movement. IIRC it wasn't until a few weeks ago we actually got real time footage of the combat in different locations. It got tagged as a movie game because of how much footage they were showing that had no player input at all. This is for a sequel to a series known for it's hack and slash gameplay, and they were marketing everything but the gameplay.

Also Horizon came out last year and people call that a movie game as well.

It's not a movie game since it quite obviously has full on gameplay mechanics clearly on display. Immersion is not a bad thing either when done right, and it looks to be pretty seamless in this. Can't wait to get it. Are there preloads available?

Horizon isn't a movie game. That had a lot of gameplay, RPG elements, open world. If anything the story is the worst thing about that game.

I agree and disagree with you evaluation of Horizon.

The only games that are really movie games are the likes of heavy rain.

But this is still stupid, it's like saying text based games are book games

Back in the day we called them point and click adventures and that was all right.

@Pedro: I understand where you're coming from but all the reviews for GOW keep talking about how this one has the best combat in the series. I don't think gameplay should be an issue with this game. The cinematic are there but this game seems super focused on gameplay from what I've seen.

Sorry, I just woke up to the mountain of salt from fanboys on SW. I'm a bit lost and I felt the need to set the record straight.

The game is an unprecedented success for Sony and shows how dominant they are as a platform holder this gen.

Holy another system seller masterpiece. How much longer is ms going to sit idly by and do nothing but continue to smoke screen it’s userbase?

Seriously Xbox exclusives are so much shittier than PS4 is not even close

@Bread_or_Decide: that's what they really is. There's no such thing as a movie game, this term was created because lems and PC elitists alike are butthurt over not having exclusive games with such quality and when it comes to nintendo they talk about graphics and fps while at the same time they say that they sacrifice graphic for fps which an utter lie.

In the end, PC master race is all about boasting about numbers and trying to justify to themselves spending $1000 on a PC gamer and missing a lot of good games, having shitty exclusives (the good ones end up on consoles) and multiplats, they try to damage control to themselves the fact they spend money on a machine that plays game a little better than consoles for more than double the price.

The lemmings are even worse, those are just frustrated.

Repost some fun images, since the other thread is locked.

Oh and I can't forget but PC elitists and lemming alike keep coming to the PS4 exclusives threads just to have their asses handed to themselves.
