Aside from Lara herself, the character assets in God of War stomp the s*** out of Tom Raider. I'm not sure how they both can't be great looking. It doesn't matter which one someone prefers.Just looks like Rise of The Tomb Raider to me...and as thats native 4K and 60fps for a 3 year old game. Both technical feats beyond gow. If Shadow does the same what exactly is gow doing that would impress me when its not even hitting the pixel count of a run of the mill third party game and not even the same framerate as the PS2 and PS3 games?
I've played them all except the cellphone game. Things that i consider a step backwards is the framerate. So i guess Coreys kid doesnt like 60fps.
The combat...in this case DMC lite is preferable and deeper to full on For Honor. Evolving would have been making a combat system better than DMC.
The scale. Why is the world serpant no bigger than the Hydra from god of wars first level?
The setting. How come Kratos is in scandanavia when he killed himself with the sword of aeons. Its almost like the IP painted itself into a corner once they realised there was no more Greek Myths to kill and said surprise Norseology. I bet they dont even address it.
Why did he have a son and dishonor the daughter he murdered? Kratos wouldnt do that. Say her name. Calliope.
Why is he struggling with a single draugr when he took out gods and titans (and minotaurs, chimera and gorgons) in seconds.
Of course i know this is because after Ascension underperformed Sony doesnt want to invest in the action game genre anymore (as opposed to say...making a proper sequel with even bigger scale which is the reason Ascension underperformed..it wasnt as Epic as GoW3), but i'd rather Corey just outright say that then demeaning the previous games as immature. Its like the guy who made Breath of the Wild saying Zelda has grown up and anyone who liked Orcarina of Time is a gaylord.
