Info on HUD customization and difficulty options.
http://godofwar.playstation.com/stories/give-me-challenge


First off, as you may have read in the recent preview coverage, we offer four difficulty options when you start a new game, in order of easiest to the most challenging:

  • Give Me A Story: lets you experience the story without too much of a difficult gameplay challenge. You won’t be taking a gondola to the top of the highest peaks in all the Norse Realms, but you will have a far greater margin for error in enemy encounters.

  • Give Me A Balanced Experience: is the mode we’d recommend most players start with. The name says it all. We’ve tuned it to deliver a balanced, challenging playthrough.

  • Give Me A Challenge: is harder and less forgiving. It is recommended for players who find action games extremely intuitive, and for confident long-time God of War series veterans who’ve beat past games on harder difficulties.

  • Give Me God of War: is the sort of thing reserved for people who wrestle polar bears in their undies. Maybe not quite that, but it’s the most difficult mode in the game. We haven’t just made you weaker or enemies stronger; we’ve looked at enemy behaviors and placements in encounters as well, tweaking everything to make it as threatening as possible. Best of all, you cannot change difficulties once you start a game on this mode, so if you suddenly realize you’re in way over your head, you’ll have to start a new game. Don’t be sorry, be better?

Immersion Mode – Just The Necessary HUD elements
As Cory mentioned in interviews, we’ve included what we’re calling Immersion Mode. This will cut things down to just the minimal absolute necessary HUD elements. There’s no right or wrong way to play; you’ll certainly have a lot of helpful info close at hand if you’re playing with the HUD fully enabled. But for those fans who are sensitive to the HUD, or perhaps for folks who want to stream or capture and would prefer as little UI as possible, there you go. To enable Immersive UI, it’s as easy as going to the Settings menu, clicking HUD and switching HUD Mode to Immersive. Yes, that means you can toggle it on and off while you play!
In addition to this, we’ve added an extra mode that allows you to customize which of these HUD elements you want ON, OFF or enabled via the touch pad which brings up that element for a short duration. This will enable players to truly customize their experience by adjusting visibility to HUD elements like enemy health bars, compass and enemy off screen indicators.

PSA: With reviews imminent, several reviewers are advising people to "stay the hell away from spoilers." The story probably story contains some significant turns or surprises, and reviewers are warning about possible leaked or unintentional spoilers.

So if you want to play the game without having anything spoiled, be careful in your reading/viewing over the next couple weeks. Reviews will be out Thursday, and spoilers may start leaking out around then, too.

I hope this thread remains spoiler free.
 
well, I had to pre-order the game. wish I did it during e3 when it was 50 cdn on Amazon. With the change, I was nervous the game would not be great or be super short. reading it's 30 plus hours had to get it but for $65 is not bad.
 
I'm digging that the campaign is nice and meaty, 25 hours? Count me in.
 
These reviews are insane, I knew it would review well but I can't remember the last time I've seen so many 10's. Damn them for allowing reviews to come out a week before we can play the game lol.

I don't pay attention to Nintendo games anymore, the last few I had played (years ago) were pretty average but all rated well, Nintendo gets a huge nostalgia boost from reviewers IMO.

now its do i get pro now or wait for pro spiderman console?
 
don’t know how Nintendo trolling made into this thread (They deserve all the scores and awards they have achieved:bang:)

But anyways 8 more days until we can play this masterpiece.
 
PlayStation with another amazing game it sounds like. They are killing it.

I'm playing the Lost Legacy right now, followed up by this next week. Times are good :banana:

Hardly trolling, just an opinion :)
 
I haven't preordered it yet, which version are you all getting? Standard, digital deluxe, ultra fancy?

 
Never doubt Santa Monica with Cory at the helm. They are a top tier studio.
 
63 years in development on a Walking Simulating The Souls of Us clone and all they could get is a 94? Time to shut down Santa Monica Soony!
