Why aren't gods in these games allowed to be larger than life anymore? There has never been a single god across the entire norse series that has matched the kind of imposing actual godly shit the original trilogy's pantheon had.Now they all just look like some OCs from a Thor Marvel movie.And this doesn't just extend to the characters but even the world design itself. This is supposed to be some insane afterlife of the gods but the first area we're in is some muddy shithole next to some shithuts. It immediately reminded of the final two fights in Ragnarok where you fight Thor and Odin in some random looking shithole.
desu the only aweinspiring thing from nugow was the arrow shot that the wolf chased
Blame GRRM and Neil GAYman
>>740194125Nu GoW games in general scoped down spectacle and cinematic setpieces massively. Just watch intros of GoW2 and 3 or some setpieces from these games while nu GoWs hype moments are fighting fat ass Thor on tiny arena or 5'6 skinny manlet in woods like lmao. In old games we would fight and ride the world serpent while in nu GoW we chungus wholesome befriend it.
Nothing in the new games feels grand.
>>740194125Did the giant fuckoff cat not do anything for you
>>740194125Because the character artists are different people?
the gods in the Norse saga remind me more of the superheroes from something like The Boys than actual deities
>>740196248The game already had a big dog and big snakeBut yes even those big animals lost their luster
>>740194125Everything is mocap and animated over >basically tracing over line artLazy fags dont want to animate large things.
>>740198181Yeah this. Stop fucking mocapping everything and needing actors as face models.
>>740194125Because it's not really God of War it's just wokeslop pasted over an established franchise because the designers have no talent to develop their own vision.
>>740194125All the nu-gods look fake and gay. I hate their character designs
>>740194409I like Neil's stuff.
>>740196248You must be kidding.
I do think they could stand for the Norse pantheon to have been more monstrous the way the Greek pantheon was but I think it also distinguishes the Norse pantheon from the Greek one in not doing that
>>740199496But now this design philosophy is bleeding into the other god damn pantheons too with this game
>>740199604Blame Sony and their fear of risks after hedging all of their bets on AAA movie games
>>740198990The games look like Shakespeare theater. I feel like I am strapped to a chair forced to watch a gay play at Broadway. Then u get dumped in a circle arena and get to play for 2 minutes then back to Santa Monicas Feature Film.
They look like marvel movie actors because they mocap the actors
