2.5 years?

That seems alright to me.

I'm pretty sick of angry, self-centred Kratos now. Where can they take the franchise though? He IS the franchise, and the setting is always the same. There's only so much Greek Mythology they can f*** with.

Agreed, story wise it was a huge disappointment.

How many releases of GoW has there been already? 1 and 2 on the PS2. 2 of the PSP games, GoW collection and GoW 3. Slow down.

Lol @ people being disappointed at the story. There are so many games with better story's than GoW. If you want story then play an RPG. If you want crazy bosses, a challenging game, and extremely fun brutal, versatile gameplay that does gore better than almost all others, play God of War 3.

Bayonetta had a bad story. And the presentation of GOW3 is better than any of those games.

hopefully this one will actually have replayability. and less button mashing.

Story and presentation were the only things separating gow from vastly superior character action games like DMC, NG and to a lesser extent bayonetta. MFDOOM1983

That was his point though. NG, DMC, Bayonetta have worse presentation and story but much better gameplay.

EDIT:
Nevermind.

I want GOW 4! Mortal Kombat cannot be Kratos's last appearance, as much I can't wait to play as Kratos in MK the game humanises him and he doesn't seem much of a killing machine like in the GOW games. Most franchises this gen have had multiple entries whilst GOW has just one on consoles. Kratos definitely deserves one more entry in the franchise this gen.

GOW3 was great but I am sure most of the time went towards building the engine from scratch, a lot of things were surely learnt from GOW3 development that the devs can very well apply and perfect for the 4th entry. And since the story is over the devs can now get a lot more creative and take series to a whole new level.

Regarding the time frame I think it would be perfect for GOW4 to release Sept 2012, would be just over two years since GOW3 which I am sure is enough time to create a stellar title. I mean Naughty Dog took just two years from Uncharted to Uncharted 2 and look how much better that title is compared to the original. 2 years is enough indeed.

They need to start fresh, no more Kratos.lbjkurono23

So they made kratos not only kill all the greek gods, but he will now kill the Norse and Egyptian ones as well? (taking a shot in the dark here :P)

Why continue all the Mario games or Zelda games?

Use more than square square triangle then and stop complaining. You can use all four weapons to pull off combos

The hardest difficult in GoW 3 is ridiculous, I bet you haven't tried it. Even the second to hardest was very very tough. Also, there are things you can easily miss playing through it once (certain special items which unlock powers you can turn on in the next playthrough). In addition, there's extra challenges and a battle arena that you can unlock in which you can fight any monster and you have access to all the weapons fully upgraded so you can practice combos. There goes your replayability argument

You're wrong. They can all be considered button mashers. DMC, NG, and Bayonetta have deeper combat gameplay and they are still button mashers.mD-

I can't button-mash my way through NG, DMC or Bayonetta. I can easily do it on GoW.

GoW is great and all but it's a weak action-game when it comes to the actual combat.

I agree that the other games exceed GOW in the combat area though

god of war is always welcome in my house, loved god of war 1 2 3, ghost of sparda basically of them.

[QUOTE="lbjkurono23"]They need to start fresh, no more Kratos.vincent380

depends ion the difficulty you are playing the game...you can't button mash in titan mode

Giancar

That's very true.

I think a better way to prove my point would be to compare how these franchises uses higher difficulties. GoW gets hard, really hard, but not in a fair way. It's more or less based on luck when it comes to the bosses on Titan mode. Especially when it comes attacks's you can't block.

When I play NG, DMC or Bayonetta I do it for the combat and the feel that I get better and better. In GoW I never feel like I can become better as there is nothing I can learn. I play GoW for Story, presentation, graphics and the fun gameplay (mainly one play-through on medium). I play DMC, NG and Bayonetta to test my skills.

It's really fun but for different reasons.

I enjoyed the five GoWs, but I'm skeptical about GoW4. Zeus (and Hercules, and Ares and Hera and Poseiden and Thanatos...) is dead. Santa Monica should have made an original game.
