Also the media and tech analyst
A lot of that is troll bait, assumption and just plain ignorance. I won't entertain your BS or waist my time. Go read/watch interviews because obvious It's you don't follow GoW. LOL
If anything im more of a god of war fan then you because i recognise the originals are superior. If this was god of war : Kart you'd probably be an echo chamber for the devs saying "The old god of wars needed to evolve...INTO A KART GAME"
You know you aren't bound by any sacred law to pretend you like it? Right?

Which sacred law are you bound by to pretend that everything Sony does is worse than cancer
I don't see how saying there was NOTHING WRONG with the gameplay of a Sony series is any worse then others saying old gows were immature and had sub par combat. And if you don't share that, then you're wrong and clearly don't follow gow.
I don't recall any of that when the old ones were released. There were great action games.
Its called integrity. My values are consistant. They don't change because the dev got told to force an ip into another genre.

Hey, integrity boy. You don't own a PS4. Is there a reason you're being so hypercritical of Sony's next big exclusive?
That's rhetorical.
Integrity my ass. You're a fanboy through and through, one of the most obvious on the forum.
"The dev got told to force an ip into another genre." I swear, you just pull sh*t out of your ass. Ridiculous.
You don't think it's hypocritical to call the PS2 and PS3 (and PSP) games with an 92-94 meta....broken?
If that was the case, why did they rate that high in the first place? Betwixt 2005 and 2011 did anyone see the deluge of commentary 'Actually god of war games aren't that good in the first place'?
Nope. What's next? Streetfighter II lacked emotional depth? Goldeneyes multiplayer was never fun? Thats hypocracy IMO. God of War was never s***.
One measly prequel game sells a little under par in the twilight of last gen and its into the woodchipper. Maybe next time don't make a side-story and go even bigger than gow 3. Maybe not release it on a platform on its last legs and give the PS4 another launch game.
This new gow may be good or average or terrible.. But slagging of the old games as something to be ashamed of to make this new one look better is funny as hell. Revisionist history.
No. I didn't pull that from my bottom.
That's Barlogs confession.
Sony really didn't want another god of war. They had to make it into a souls clone because according to Sonys Jim Ryan "its a franchise that has historically, acutely underperformed in Europe". And Europeans (apparently) prefer 'narrative' games - not those pesky 'gameplay' games - and I guess the 60fps standard wouldn't be competitive visually against other 30fps games so thats for the chopping block.
Some might call that 'Focus tested'. I know I did after the first trailer 2 E3s ago.
Alas In 10 years they'll probably reboot it again into a Witcher Clone or whatever sells better at the time and call the 2018 one 'unevolved' too and we can all join together in slagging it off til the cows come home. At least I'll be consistant in my affections and not repeating what the devs want.

Will be the 1st to set the standard for high rated exclusives for the year 2018 and its not like it will have any competition when it releases...as the competitions big marketed exclusive average score is going down like a sinking ship into a sea of thieves 69/100 lol
Ok so that old game is the number GOW has to beat.
Its not OT though cause I am showing you how good the game will end up and how bad other exclusives can be that I don't see you attacking..
No. In my personal view the number gow has to beat is god of wars 94 (so above 94...meaning 95) as its supposed to completely 'revitalise' the IP.
Settling on a metascore that starts with an 8 defeats the object since as if that's the case the next game will be mid-low 8's and they'll be back to where they were with ascension, making the reboot pointless.
If they're going to make 8x meta god of wars, might as well be what god of war fans want.
And as for commercial success. God of war 3 debuted to 1.1m in the NPD so I'd say with the 5 year dev time, anything less than 1.7M for April would be bad.
I didn't see the need to bring SoT meta into it since I firmly believe in games being reviewed for their day 1 content (#integrity), ...which as i recall you don't because of Street fighter V and Destiny.
I personally didn't want to get into it really but I only wanted to respond to Zero. I dislike the implication I don't follow gow when I played all action games worth playing.

It said in the article. They wouldnt greenlight it if it was not a 'walking sim'.
PS2 games and era is different.
TODAYS games is what it needs 2 be compared 2.
I guess when your format of choice fails in the exclusive game category you reach.
SOT score is getting worse and worse since it launched updates and all.
SFV IS and always has been a hit with the fighting game community the casuals werent happy and the game is still supported with much new content.
SOT won't do what taken king a year later did for destiny if anything as time goes by and word gets out how bad SOT is...I can see it having a much shorter life and RARE's future as we know it being in jeopardy.
If you read the article you quoted, you'll see the subtitle is "Cory Barlog had to convince company." It was Barlog's idea, not Sony's. You said the exact opposite -- that Sony was forcing Barlog to change GoW into a different genre. Wrong. Ass-derived.
Why does Sony need to be convinced to make a god of war game? Shouldn't it be a shoe in?

Discussing the IP and its change of direction is only allowed if its universally positive then? When DMC went 30fps and black haired Dante there was much uproar. Ditto Resident Evil VII. Can't please everyone, but you can argue with them. Haha.

Hey, we're arguing here. Keep that enthusiasm down.
Not saying you started it, but let's keep the "best visuals" discussion out of this thread (that's a multiplatform discussion).
Sony needing to be convinced to make God of War=Sony forcing them to make God of War
Its simple math obviously
