Will you crybabies shut up now?
Nobody wants to play as a woman
>>740272301Old Kratos or nu Kratos?
And what's he going to do exactly? This new game has his wife fighting gods from different mythologies around the world so whenever Kratos comes back there won't be any god's left for him to fight unless they recycle them or have him fight Jesus or some shit
Good. I hate Kratos the Gary Stu.
>>740272301"Future games" will take 6+ years to come out
>>740272301who's the dude beside kratos?
>>740272301>doing damage control alreadyoh man they really fucked up huh. I don't get why either, why have the third and final game of the norse trilogy not star fucking kratos? why have a GoW where you're finally meeting more gods of other pantheons not star kratos? why the FUCK would you set up a entire dimension where dead gods reside and not have kratos actually fucking meet all the people he killed just to show the contrast of the changed man he is compared to the fucking old gods he slayed?nothing about this shit makes any sense and I'm not even a fan of the nu-gow games, but I can see the themes and concepts they set up and how fucking nonsense this shit looks from the outside
>>740272301You're getting what you wanted, though. The sole reason they changed it to Faye was so they could see people complain.
>>740272560Also, we lied. The title never specified who the god of war is! (It's a female now)
>>740272301The devs actually said they only started gow with 2018. They never even played the originals. If that doesn't tell you all you need to know about the future...
anyone who is a fan of nu-GoW isn't a real fan
>female director
>>740272301Cool. I'll probably play those. I'm not playing God of War: Below Zero though.
>>740272560Which is why the have the demakes lined up for the next few years
>>740272379Unless it's Estelle's game.
>>740272301I just find it funny, and i'm pretty sure the game will sell like shit because the typical GoW consumer is too dumb to read the fine print and will just think it's a random ass RPG thing.
>>740272301>future gamesConcord was the future for Sony not so long ago
>>740272301I don't even know why /v/ cares. they don't even like the new god of war games
Honestly, I don't want Kratos to come back. The original GoW trilogy is all the Kratos I want and he needs nothing more than that.
>>740272301Chuds whining about girl vg characters seems seems so archaic at this point
>>740273192Well, you and i know it's not just that, but enjoy pretending it's just that for free you's, including this
>>740272301>Karlos will be back in a future game>games take 6-10 years to make>currently(as recently confirmed) this is the newest mainline title>it doesn't have a release date>Meaning that it's still 6-10 years awayWhy the fuck should someone wait 6-10 years for something they want while you make something no one other than the fat hags in HR want?Are you trying to commit suicide?
>>740272301>i want to play a GoW as a woman!said no one everthese niggers literally live on a whole other plane of existence
>female protagonist> millennial writing>marvel quips It's gonna win GOTY.
>>740273420Not just a woman but a middle aged sub-par woman. NO ONE wants to play a game as one of the middle aged hags in HR
>>740272301Nope. Not buying anymore games so my money can be used to fund these other gaems nobody wants
WHERE IS MY WIFE'S SON!
>>740272301>future games
>>740272301Not buying
>>740272601>why the FUCK would you set up a entire dimension where dead gods reside and not have kratos actually fucking meet all the people he killed just to show the contrast of the changed man he is compared to the fucking old gods he slayed?women and homosexuals can't a masculine story make.
>>740272301>future games will have Kratosweird way to try and sell this game
ARES!
>>740272301I wish just one time, ONE TIME, crybabies would shut the fuck up so that these games can experience the maximum losses possible. Crying until they bargain or change a little so it isn't a complete financial disaster isn't helping anyone. You want them to feel as confident as possible up until launch that their shitty game will sell with ZERO changes.
it's not her I have a problem with, it's the fact that the rest of the game is the same old tired out sony shit
>>740273549It boggles my mind. There's two really good ways to sell a female protagonist like this.>lean in to the ridiculous nature of woman doing action scenes and make her super hot and feminineOr>try to be as realistic as possible and give her the muscle mommy physique but still cuteInstead they always go the old hag route. Every time.
>>740272945Trails starts at Cold Steel, arguably CS3 by NISA's own official statement.
>>740272301Return for what? Hes a done character that cant be developed further. Atreus was the devs saying Kratos is done we need a new MC
>>740272301I already dropped the series all the way back with GoW 4 when they turned it into an over the shoulders Last of Us clone, i dont know why you guys are made pretending that only now it went bad.
>>740272601IGN female writer. That's all. Not even the jooz, genuinely just a fucking woman journo
Place your bets on the great floppening, because they cannot salvage this, at all, everI'm gonna bet at 1/10th of the production cost in sales
>>740272301They destroyed Kratos BEFORE we all shat on their god of laundry. Imagine what they'll do to him in the next game lmao
They set up two good candiate for future god of war MC, BOI and Prequel Tyr.
>>740272601>why the FUCK would you set up a entire dimension where dead gods reside and not have kratos actually fucking meet all the people he killed just to show the contrast of the changed manMan a scene of Ares seething at Better!Kratos would be kino
>>740272301>God of War dev tells fans to just skip this oneOk
>>740272301Now we know why the original games are getting Remakes, because you won't get to play as Kratos again for like 10 years.
>>740273997The third option is to just her be a normal woman but she completely gets her ass kicked and has to use every ounce of strength and every dirty trick just to survive. It's really rare though. The movie Atomic Blonde did it well.
A true artist
>>740274015Given FC remake, the only real games are Estelle's games.
Problem isn't even the fact that you play as a woman, you could totally make something badass out of that (pre-2020, anyways). It's that you're playing as Krato's lame dead wife we know next to nothing about.
>>740274492>she completely gets her ass kickedThis part would break my immersion though. If you're telling me she's a normal woman and she gets her ass kicked, why wouldn't she just be dead at that point then? The only answer would be plot convenience. This is why it's always better to lean into the ridiculous when it comes to women characters imo.
>>740272301i havent been paying attention to this. but was this an actual concern? thats as retarded as people thinking miles was gonna replace peter
>>740272301The future games being remakes. Kratos will never be the protagonist of a new game, he will be an NPC in Atreus' games
>>740277078Kratos is an old man with a concluded arc in the eyes of Santa Monia. They obviously aren't to make him the star of a new story
>>740273327Wouldn't be the first time at Sony. We probably won't get another GoW for some time after this multi hundred million dollar budget game flops if at all
>>740277372aside of the remake trilogy already announced
>>740272457He fights the demons and yokai from all the religions.
>>740272301i am, still not buying your woke slop though
I saw some game footage and looked her up. I might check it out. But Valhalla almost put me to sleep.
>in the cuck chair>quick time events to lean forwards and crane his head, give encouragement
>>740272301returning as “Gaytoes”
>>740272301You're too easy to bait. All someone has to do is make fun of women and you start shitting your pants dude.
>>740272301that was obvious for anyone who actually played the games
>>740277983I really tried to like Valhalla, because it was something that's up my alley. I just couldn't do it, I got about an hour in and was bored as fuck. I remember the older games, but I kind of want to give this a chance. I thought the game play footage was cool
>>740272379fpbp /thread
"I want to play The Witcher as a woman!" said no one ever.
>>740272301>Norse God of War where you're a dead god fighting through the afterlife of the gods and killing gods from other mythologies.>don't make this chad the MCmissed opportunity.
>>740273017>Concord was Sony's future>Concord crashed and burned at the starting lineWhat a bright future ahead of Sony...
>>740278067Ragnarok is a weird game where doing the optional content is infinitely better than the actual main campaign somehow. The story was complete ass but just exploring the optional maps fighting shit was legit fun.
>>740272301>you better buy this game chud or no more God of War for you!I won't negotiate with terrorists
>>740272601Because this was the plan all along. They most likely always wanted it to be about Faye but even Sony put their foot down and said that was never going to pass so they just made her haunt the story till they could find a way to bring her back. All the while making Kratos the biggest faggot possible. I mean who would write a massive Mary Sue character like that and not have her ever show up?
>>740272301stress-testing the "fanbase" of nu-GoW hmmit's literally one of the most hyper-masculine dude fantasy game series ever that has been slowly sanded down for mass appeal, this is them making the jump to fully ditching everything about the original trilogy and finishing the skin suit
>>740272301Sony must make better games
>>740278346>stress-testing the "fanbase" of nu-GoW hmmIf they can put up with nu-Kratos and his utterly cucked behavior and insufferable kid then they will put up with anything.
>>740274148So rather than expand on Atreus who they've built up between 2 games....they go with the dead mother who was only ever spoken of in passing? This makes what kind of sense?
GoW has been in DIRE need of a second playable character for decades. I just hope the next time we get a proper Kratos game Atreus is grown enough to be properly playable, or Laufey is back alive again, or something
>>740278524Atreus is horrible. His sections in ragnarok were abysmal and he's nothing but a whiny bitch for 2 games straight. Heimdall is the only likable new character in NuGoW.
>>740272945damn based Estelle. I assume this got censored in the de-make?
>>740278346She seems nice, mother of loki.
This “outrage” is obviously manufactured
>>740272457Aliens. They will do egyptian gods as aliens. Or samurai kratos vs weebshit
>>740272301How will ‘future games’ be made when nobody buys this one?
>>740278902Those faggots in California can stay the FUCK away from my weeb mythology. I already know they'd fuck it up out of spite, evil little mutants that they are.
>>740272301First they shoved nigger Germanic goddesses and a fat assed Thor down our throats. Now they offer us a game where we play as Kratos' dead wife, who isn't actually dead and looks like an old hag. FUCK OFF SONY
>>740272601They want foid god of war. It's that simple. Becouse they are incompetent buffoons. This is how they did it. Compleatly wrong way. I'm really tired of trend of taking something established and turning it woman or gay. But on otherhand. Every single one of orginal girlboss games have failed. Only one that didn't fail was alien isolation.
>>740272301That nigga ain't Kratos. Reboot this shit please.
>>740278970Lol no. All it needs is someone making concept art of kratos in samurai armour and katana and it will be sold. Then show big wigs old drawings of japanes monsters and gods of legends. Put those two toghetor and you have most idiot proof pitch for game. Even plot is easy to write. End woman God of war with her getting sucked in another realm and kratos finding out about it. Setting out to find her. He lands on weeb world and has to get through to pass to next realm.
>>740278841>She seems niceShe is genuinely one of the worst characters in the series, terribly written, morally reprehensible, and overall just really shitty. Her entire arc is basically just seething at the Norse gods failing to kill them.
>>740272301Oh boy I can't wait to play as Kratos in 2038!
>>740272301How many future games will there be after this one crashes and burns?
>>740274354Yeah that would be a fun "what the fuck, you killed me for *this*??" moment
>>740279279>norse mythology >weebYou got diarrhea of the mouth
>>740278895No i genuinely hate this character and think she is a net negative on the series as a whole. And that was before the game was announced.
>>740279010>unironically made her grandma a stereotype black crack addictHow do they get away with it?
so how much is the god of war tax going to be? The concord tax is fucking unbearable.
>>740272379Nobody wants to play GoW.
>>740279279I'm sure Ubisoft once thought an Assassins Creed game set in feudal Japan was an idiot proof idea and look how well that turned out.
>>740279464Depends, what’s the deductible on be better threads?
>>740278895>outrageHave you seen the cube threads? Most people here are just enjoying the schadenfreude of another hilariously out of touch game coming out of nu-Sony.
>>740278895>“outrage”Ridicule.
>>740278420i think removing Kratos as a playable character and replacing him with a woman is the tipping point for a lot of them even if they'd never outright admit it
>>740279010DAMN she's flat as a board, why all women are so flat in these games? Do they just never grow tits? Did they remove them? Aren't they moms? Moms have fat ass tits most of the time. If this nigress had big juicy breasts to suck on it wouldnt be so bad.
>>740279660titties bad because men might actually like them
>>740279652They literally want the fame of the IP but not the cool main character so they slowly turned him into a pathetic cuck and now they finally are ditching him completely to make a game about an ugly old hag. They did it through a process, it wasnt instant but we're finally at the tipping point. From now on Kratos will be history and if he reappears, he'll have a fucking final fantasy party full of retarded woke characters
>>740279510I'm not talking about game sales. I'm talking about higher ups and studio. To these idiots. Weeb God of war is easiest sell in the world. Even marketing team will get wet when they see it. I have no idea how well it would sell. But if someone inside the studio wants to make that god of war. They have fool proof pitch on their hand
>>740279660>why all women are so flat in these games?Why does this grammatical mistake happen so often lately? I see it all the time on every board I visit.
>>740279804India
>>740279731Its a little sickening how they twist and warp the beautiful female body into a weird shape where they have no delicate features, no hips, no breasts, and are usually as ugly as men. THey reject the very idea of women existing somehow, they dont want to accept that women look like women... they want to censor nature itself. Do these people go insane when they go to the beach and see fat tits everywhere?
>>740279010>fat assed ThorLiterally unplayable. How the fuck is Sony still in business?
>>740272301That was never the problem. We don't want them to make ANY games at all. Thanks.
>>740279804Is it "Why are all women so flat in these games?" then? I just wrote quickly. I dont have the fucking time to write you a perefectly gramatically corret tex t for yu an on
>>740279804>make post>grammatical mistake>wtf could have sworn i put everything there>later make similar post>read through whole thing three times>post it >same grammatical mistakeI am not 100% but something is going on, could be a glitch or something.
>>740279652I think it would be fine in vacuum. But playerbase has woman fatigue. Especially PS players. This game will land on same timeframe as intergalactic(thankfully orginal ip) and probably near witcher 4. It will be 3 big girl boss games back to back. After generation that has been girl boss game after girlboss game.
>>740279859Why the fuck does he look like that anyway?I get that Vikings weren't super chiseled gymbros but they weren't landwhales either.
>>740279734Which is funny considering there is TV show comming. Maybe they emasculated kratos compleatly. Make him suck cock and eat shit
>>740274321Shit they could have brought back Thor.
>>7402798292020s beauty trend is masculine looks. 2010s was anime girl look. They wanted small face and big eyes. Sharp nose. Now it's flat and masculine body. Sharp rigged shapes in face.
>>740279532I don't give af about Faye, I'm just tired of the plot threads that nu GoW has been drumming along the fanbase for over eight years now and continuing to do so without answers. My last straw was Kratos talking about how awesome of a god he would be at the epilogue of Ragnarok completely undermining his sacrifice at the end of 3 and the point of killing all the gods in the first place.
>>740279983The new game already looks like fucking Dragon Age Veilguard, I can't imagine how the next one is going to look like. God lord. Imagine Kratos interacting with his party full of quirk chunguses and there's a transbian, a non binary, and a nigress and they teach him to do better. Actually maybe that's too much but if it really happens I'm eating my pants.
>>740272301Kratos was only in the other two for a single scene, and that was just to be lectured to by nu-kratos.
>>740280004yeah, I keep forgetting he is a parallel to Krato if Krato was a bitchboy to the gods. Thor would had been a good option.
>>740280070Technically he had sidekicks in nu God fo war. Not that big leap to have full on veilguard party.
>>740280141Also there's something I really dont understand about why they treat Kratos like such a monster in these new sequels for killing the Greek Gods if all these Gods were assholes and pieces of shit anyway. He literally made the world better without them. He should've continued killing all the gods to create a world only ruled by mortals.
>>740279953>WhyBeauty is incompatible with leftist ideology.
I liked nu GOW(the first one anyway)This game existing basically makes the first game meaningless, a poignant journey and the lenghts family will go to for someone's last wish.Now its all pointless, because she's adventuring in fairy god land with a fucking cube.
>>740279938Replacing Jin for a female protag for Yotei was too much, especially considering that Tsushima directly hinted at a more Ronin style sequel where Jin is comfortable with himself being a Ronin.
>>740272301Christopher Judge is like 70 and has a lifetime of steroid abuse behind him. Dude's not gonna be around for that many more games.
>>740272301Why would he return? Hasn't his shitty character arc already concluded?
>>740279753But this is one of those times where we seriously need the suits to come down and see what the fuck the "creatives" are doing with all that fucking money and time if everytime they're allowed to do whatever they want, they make garbage. Someone on these boards of directors or CEOs has to be noticing this pattern of abject garbage being pumped out that take close to a decade to make and not even remotely coming close to recouping the production costs.
>They bring back Kratos>He's in all the advertisingThey actually give him the Joel treatment and anytime you see him it's as a hallucination
>>740280283It’s something about it destroying the Greek world and leading to a lot of innocents dying. But at the same time Faye’s campaign against the Aesir had the same effect only she didn’t actually manage to kill any of them. But they just put the full blame on the Aesir for… reasons. They tried doing it as a both sides have shit going on in 4 but then dropped it entirely for gagoncock and made the giants a bunch of dindus (literally)
whos idea was the cube?
>>740280330>especially considering that Tsushima directly hinted at a more Ronin style sequel where Jin is comfortable with himself being a RoninWere you in any of those threads where shills were saying it totally didn’t and that Jin’s story was done? Those were weird.
>>740280418Faye is rather directly responsible for the actions in both of the NuGoW games but the story never wants to acknowledge that her actions are responsible for all the new death and destruction going on. If old Kratos was being tricked by the gods to do their bidding before he rages out and kills the lot of them, new Kratos is being led by the nose by his dead wife while never seemingly noticing that he's got himself stuck in the same loop but now has even less agency in it.
>>740280438chatgpt after they asked it for a quirky companion design
>>740280438They probably wanted to make a D&D game after playing Baldur's Gate 3 and decided to just shoehorn it into the IP they owned because nobody would buy it otherwise.
>>740280537is it some soft-promotion of transhumanism?
>>740280438Mine. I wanted to just have a game about him that didn't involve anything to do with GoW, but the execs said it was too risky. This was the only way to make Phranque a reality. Sorry.
>>740272379>Nobody wants to play as an ugly womanfixed.
>>740280330That was where story and history was heading to. Bigger invasion is coming. And so on. But to be fair. When I played that game. It was more then enough ghost games for me. I have no intrest in any sequal. No matter what it is. It's fun for 30h but compleatly burned out after that. It's no suprise to me sequel flopped. All of big Sony sequel game. GoW. Horizon and ghost suffer from this. One game is more then enough. Leaving no desire for more.
>>740280594Sad. I'd unironically play a cube game.
>>740280283This was the whole point about 3, that being a god with that much power corrupts you. The funny thing is, there's still some humans alive in the greek world. All of the humans in the norse GoW are either dead or got turned into reavers after becoming cannibals. They are all dead. Kratos talking about how awesome of a god he would be at the end of Ragnarok is beyond retarded.
I didn't finish Ragnarok because it was boring. Did Kratos die at the end of that one? Kratos in the underworld would have been cool. I don't know why they'd go with his wife and a glob of sentient jello, but.. whatever. OG trilogy was fun but the new trilogy kind of sucks.
>>740272379I COMMAND and CONTROL a woman all the time. I do not want to do that for an ugly suburban middle age white woman.
>>740280438Whichever quirk chungus it was who watched Shrek shortly before writing the game's opening.
>>740272301He'll return as Faye's biggest cheerleader.Probably to officiate her wedding with Jack Qube.
>>740272301Another "strong woman" from Sony.
>>740279652The playerbase hate playing as a wh*te m*le. This would be a welcome change of pace for them. Now all Laufey needs to do is talk about current year politics and spend half the game making wacky marvel quips.
>>740272379>nurture an absolute braindead dudebro audience>"you play as a girl now! :)"what the fuck did they think would happen
>>740280724
>>740280373Directors and CEO are all in on this. They aren't people who play the game. But they are culturally and socially part of same cosmopolitan group. They like shit like this. Look at it on top level. DMC and campaing around Kamala. It's very top of the elite. Rallying around her in cringe fest. There is no saviour of AAA in top level.Any future of gayming is at grassroot. Passionate people who like games themselves. Doing it alone or small team. Game they themselves want to play. Most innovative game I have played in last few years has been my winter car. It's silly game. But gameplay system is brilliant. Its challenging and survival elements are masterful and innovative. It's fun as hell. And it's done by one crazy guy.
this series is on the same level as the Horizon games. but because it has a male lead character, all you fags love it
>>740280501>new Kratos is being led by the nose by his dead wife while never seemingly noticing that he's got himself stuck in the same loop but now has even less agency in itIt really is sad, I remember Gaia’s words to him while climbing Olympus about he was a pawn and always will be and how hard he struggled to turn against fate and be free of it. And then they just make him a pawn of fate and his new dead wife and when he finds out he just doesn’t care. It comes off as if he was brainwashed. I mean Faye is the one who ordered him to cut down the tree which held up the ward hiding them from the gods and gave those vague instructions on where to spread her ashes. She is why Baldr showed up to their home and why they just wandered around the realms until meeting Mimir. She put her own son in danger just so Kratos could do what she couldn’t and he is totally cool with it.
>>740273952Tbh I never see devs having to do these statements. Most of the time they went "suck it up, chuds! lmao" and act like nothing happened
>>740280418The greek world is not completely destroyed unless the ending epilogue where it shows the human survivors isn't canon anymore. There's simply no more gods left in it. It's now the opposite of the norse world where there are no humans anymore.
>>740280843Yes.
>>740272379The problem isn't that Faye is a woman, it's that she's such an ungodly Mary Sue. Kratos' badass wife whose stronger and smarter than he is that's met gods from other pantheons and can easily defeat all of them. This is a parody of a character, this is fanfiction
>>740280850She even used kratos to birth loki to bring end times. Fun twist would be kratos hunting her down for using him
>>740280843For a moment I thought you where talking about the car game.
>>740280906Also everyone loves her and thinks she’s the best and a heroic freedom fighter and blah blah blah
>>740280850Honestly I think it just fits his character. That's simply who he is: Someone who follows orders and needs a bigger someone to tell him what to do. It is very telling than when he was about to die, his first instinct was to beg a big, powerful being to bail him out
>>740280843>his series is on the same level as the Horizon gamesOnly the nu-games.>all you fags love itNo, I haven't seen anyone around here say they like the series since the 2018 game. Hell, the whole s o y wordfilter came specifically for that game because everyone was shitposting with it.
>>740280960But it’s also his character to be a ragetard who doesn’t like being used and then killing everyone who used him and anyone in the way of them.
>>740279953Because the entire pantheon is down in the dumps and past their time of glory. Odin's issue is he knows its all going to end and wants to find a way to bypass his death.
>>740280897I meant more it was in ruins. There are people but shit is fucked up bad.
>>740280936Honestly I wouldn’t mind a game where you play as Vidarr
>>740280960Then play it up. Once a soldier. Alway a soldier. Even if it's ham fisted like only following orders type shit. Play it up
>>740279660Because she's 12
>>740281027Well yeah, if they try manipulating him into doing things that fuck him over. He's okay with Laufey manipulating him because in the end it had to be done, and it benefits him and Atreus. I think Laufey just realized he was a big retard who just needed someone to point his tard rage into the right direction
>>740279859This one is actually a kino design
>>740272301fans?
>>740281195So she's a kid? oh okay
>>740274321I cannot think of anything less enticing than a game where you play as Tyr
>>740281214>because in the end it had to be doneBut it didn’t, he could have just washed his hands of the whole situation and left. >and it benefits him and AtreusNot really, they could have hidden out indefinitely or just left the region after Baldr showed up. The whole ashes thing could have probably been settled by Kratos saying “your mother would’ve cared more for your safety than whatever final wish she had in mind”.
>>740280330Jin and the chick who replaced him might as well be the same character they're both such dull blank slates nothing characters. What awful games those were
I remember God of War being a mid PS2 franchise
>>740281345Jin wasn’t a blank slate character. He had a history and a whole inner conflict about whether to hold onto his principles and the code of the samurai or to break them so he could save his home.
>>740281369Mid? It was one of the biggest character action games of its era that there were legit God of War clones like Dante's Inferno and a bunch of others. It was the Western version of DMC or Bayonetta. We don't get that anymore at all, because Western devs can't into action combat at all.
>>740281438I distinctly remember it being heckled and shat on here on /v/ for excessive qtes and being massively inferior to the japanese action games, only surpassing them in popularity due to its cinematic presentation and simplicity.
>>740273952I'm like 90 percent certain this "outrage" is a manufactured astroturf campaign for the game. This happens with literally every AAA game cycle, with the exact same talking points.
the only solution is that this chick fails her plot which enrages kratos who then becomes the old self. the kid runs away when he sees him mad and maybe comes back in future as an enemy
>>740273501silence shotacuck
>>740272945DAIWA SCARLET
>>740281438>It was one of the biggest character action games of its eraI have more action with Samurai Warrior than GoW 1. This is also the same era where both Wind Waker and Twilight Princess was a thing.
>>740281338Kratos was always a character who was suspicious of others motivations which is a trait that he's been completely bereft of in nuGoW. I wouldn't be surprised if Atreus turns out to not even be his which was already hinted at in Ragnarok. He's being used manipulated which would be hilarious if Pearce wrote this into Laufey under the pretext of girl power lol.
>>740277206do you think they would be stupid enough to throw away money? kratos is the series. if they do nothing more but have him reincarnate into different deity groups then thats most likely what would happen. but to replace their face with a untested character? yeah i dont see it
>>740281634>>740273952Precisely. Concord was so devastating because literally nobody knew about it. Even ultra woke games, if from a strong IP, will still sell millions. Until these useful idiots stop being a megaphone, they are only lessening the financial sting of a failure, instead of letting it burn as much as it should.
>>740272301There won't be future games. Get woke go broke.
>>740272301didnt say next game, didnt say as protagonist.this is full of shit.
>>740279010>>740279859>>740279953>>740280287Unironically reads his original myths and description, that Thor is the most accurate Thor to have ever been. Though I agree he should not be that fat.
>>740272301I'll only stop when they retcon the entire norse bs and give GoW 3 a real sequel.
>>740273952Every post like this is just some variation of the "STOP QUESTIONING AND CONSUME PRODUCT" meme.
>>740281783Then they shoulda gone broke 2 games earlier chud
>>740272301>"In future games"Lol GoW fans in suicide watch
>>740281783this picture hit like a train
>>740281438it was the normalfag equivalent for character action, like it was literally 'baby's first X'
>>740281798>this video game depiction inspired by marvel garbage is more accurate than how historians and real artists depicted him for centuries ackshually
I mean, we are just laughing at them at this point. I don't even think many people are outraged as they have been so alienated. They already split the audience by changing the gameplay and setting, now they are splitting it again to make a stupid statement. It doesn't affect me much outside of just snickering if they fail and are out of their jobs.
>>740272301No. This is the same as Diablo Immortal. Out of touch retard devs/CEOs wanted to make woke cash-in slop instead of just making what their customers want.
>>740281798kys
>>740281993It was still what little we'd get that normies would even dip their toes into actually good character action games. Sometimes you need some basic bitch shit to entice people before you toss them the really good stuff.
>>740281771Terrible psyop
>>740278902>Aliens. They will do egyptian gods as aliensENTER
>>740279076>Only one that didn't fail was alien isolation.Yeah that was because the main focus was the fact that you’re actively being hunted by feral aliens that can kill you in six gorillion different ways annd have to think of creative ways to hide from/evade them, and not how powerful and smart your pussy is.
>>740281771>STOP talking shit about terrible slop chuddie, you're ACTUALLY helping them sell BILLIONS! just sit down and do nothing and say nothing!Is that you, advertiser-kun?
Woke is never going to end is it.
>>740282265It also takes the material seriously and she isn't constantly quipping at the worst moment possible destroying any tension a scene would've had.
i thought you guys weren't gay? women make games better. this god of war chick is fairly attractive too i don't see the hate. >muh cubeoh shut the fuck up
>>740281798Thor didn't have any tattoos so it's already inaccurate. The fact he's a fat slob, a cuck and wears period incorrect clothing, specially the retarded Megingjord, just adds to injury. You are just parroting something you read.
>>740272301lol
>>740282345>women make games betterARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
>>740282303>>740282186>let them die in irrelevance>nooooo youre a psyopper!!!!!!!!his point wasnt hard to understand. the absolute state of /v/ iq
>>740282345Straight men tend to like beautiful women, not ugly hags with no sex appeal.I actually like hags myself, but when they're sexy. If they had given her fat tits or fat ass I would've bought the game day 1.
>>740282345snoy games are fundamentally gay.
>>740282395does the domino's corporate empire have enough money to buy nukes?
I wish everyone involved in any GoW past Ascension just dropped dead.
>>740282395"Thank you domino corporate account" said the corporate account.
>only 20 years until we get to play as kratos again
>>740282306It will, it’s self destructive by its very nature.
>>740274321a game with another cuckold, sure that would be fun
>>740282498chin up, anon, that might be after WW3 and actually a good game again if we manage to rid ourselves of """them"""
>>740282514BUT WHEN?ITS BEEN ALMOST 14 YEARS OF THIS SHIT
>>740282472it's so shit.
>>740282410she really isn't ugly. she is more attractive than the niggers or whatever garbage most woke games put out these days. you're just going by the dumb pics where her mouth is open
>>740282498Maybe, depends on what Cory is doing. He is not the director and has been silent.
>>740272301What are you talking about? GoW ended at 3
>>740282306The development of this crap started during St. Floyd era, it will sure be one of the wokest pieces of shit out there if they didn't course correct a bit.
>>740282472>A fallen warrior fighting for her family's futureShe's literally the one who put it in jeopardy on purpose for her own post-mortem revenge.
>>740282579EeeehhhhAt this point you're being the faggot if you're insisting so much on itI'm not buying the game okay? So fuck off elsewhere advertiser-kun
Would've been fine if games still only took like 2 years to make. You could have spinoffs like this exist without blueballing people for the main series.
>>740282653eat a shriveled microdick you faggot. i'm buying the game. couldn't care less what you do.
>>740282680>i'm buying the game
>>740272301>future gamesplease no
>>740282624>She's literally the one who put it in jeopardy on purpose for her own post-mortem revenge.A woman fucking things up? SAY IT AINT SO!
damn this game seems really gay.i looked it up to see if this was the one that had that cube in it and yeah it is. and then i skipped around in the video for this article:https://www.thegamer.com/the-boys-hughie-jack-quaid-cube-voice-god-of-war-laufey/and it's very millenialcore and pozzed. >STRONG woman who also likes to fight dirty>"do NOT lay another hand on me or i WILL kill you!!">to be able to play as someone who can continually overcome, and work through things, and make it to the other side while still caring about everyone around themyou know how the doom reboot lampshaded the "story" in FPS games by smashing the screen in that scene when the robot is talking to you? i want the game about killing gods to be similarly irreverent. this shit is written for froot loops. fuck this gay earth dude, shit's wack.
>>740282624I always wonder, what would happen if Kratos and BOY didn't fell those trees that Faye ask him to crop down.
>>740282570what's neat is that eventually, you'll die and the new generation will have grown up in this reality, and it will just be normal to them. in the same way things were different "back in my day" for your grandparents.
>>740282779>thetranny linkkys shill
It's funny how they took the arguably biggest symbol of masculinity in vidya, emasculated him and now are replacing him with a woman, isn't it
>>740282472has Santa Monica officially lost the plot?
>>740282870
>>740282835zoomers are already more conservative than millennial and boomers so that isn't working
>>740282779If a Japanese studio had a small man running around to mocap a cube for an rpg he would become beloved overnight and proclaimed SVOL. I think people are just exasperated by Sony's absurdity at this point and hate them for everything. Also because The Boys guy is a nepotism hire. They could have plucked a random fat dude off the street and gained more goodwill than by doing this.
>>740282946Nope, because they don't do that. Basically only Kojima does that retarded shit and people make fun of him.
How come they always have to get some faggot woman e-celeb with zero credentials as a writer? At the very least why not get a woman writer with some established credentials like Gail Simone?
uh-oh
>>740272301Stop crying so much chud, we're only replacing the protagonist for this one game. Just like we did for spiderman. And ghost of thushima. And the last of us. At least you still get the same protagonist for horizon, right, you love horizon, don't you?
>>740283079You can't just "get" whoever you want
>>740282946I played shit like Katamari Damacy, Fatal Frame, or Mr. Mosquito for being weird japanese shit, BECAUSE it's weird and japanese. At least they take the idea and just run with it, and don't try to be smug and ironic with it. If it's stupid, just be stupid and go with it, don't act all coy and non-committal about it like you're somehow above the material.
>>740283089>GoW 2018 was "an emotional sendoff and thoughtful deconstruction of the unchecked masculinity that defined the original trilogy">Given the undeniable rise of right-wing sentiment, some people no doubt legitimately hold beliefs that video games shouldn’t star anyone other than super jacked white dudes.wtf did I just read kek
>>740283089What gets me are all the journalists trying to frame the Domino's pizza post as uncalled for and unpopular. IGN straight up lies and only highlights the comments defending the game, meanwhile other journalists are very careful not to show the ratio and unironically call whoever runs the account a "chud". Sometimes I wish I was unhinged as the people from their side just so they couldn't keep getting away with their narrative framing bullshit.
GOOOODS TAKE MY WIFE
>>740283089>>740282472Are people seriously fucking pretending the CUBE is DEEP AND THOUGHT PROVOKINGIT'S A FUCKING CUBEIT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S WATER OR PRETENDING TO BE ARTHURIANTHEY MADE IT A CUBE WITH A QUIPPY VOICETHE RIBBONS ARE FUCKING AUSTRALIANRIBBONSFUCKING HELL
>>740283305first day dealing with pseuds?
>>740272457Faye will likely only fight glop shitto gods and the ones kratos killed, leaving the big ones like ra for future games
>>740283130I agree with you. I think most games nowadays just try to be too many things at once. Find a core gimmick, stick to it, and have fun with the premise. The cinematic games just feel more and more exhausting.
>>740283329Good thing we already know this kind of legacy mc swap in videogames inevitably leads to unredeemable garbage in terms of game quality.The GoW games were already on a down trend with massive handholding and movie game feelings so not expecting anything better with this kind of retardation should be the norm.
friendly reminder
>>740283329Okay let's talk about the yawn inducing movie game... oops, there's nothinig to talk about, the "gameplay" were like 17 minutes of cutscenes
>>740283461I don't really see it. If anything, I think they are too chicken to actually get rid of Kratos. I always felt shoehorning him into the drastically different Norse games was a mistake and the IP would be better with new leads for each pantheon.
>>740283305Maybe they just can't think outside of the box?
>>740283329how was this shit made so quickly
>>740272301GOOOOOOOOOODS! GIVE ME A FLIMSY INORGANIC OUTRAGE MARKETING CAMPAIGN, AND MY WIFE IS YOURS!
>>740273501hot
>>740283329Wow dude it's almost like people can smell an agenda from a mile away and no longer want to waste their time seriously engaging with trash
are these game developers intentionally being hostile to 'gamers'?
>>740283216Alannah Pearce is the writer of the game, of course IGN is going to defend it.>Why can't we just go back to the reality where Jessica Chobot had a cameo in ME3>>740283118You know as well as I do that Alannah Pearce only got that job because of.>political associations and taking advantage of the political climateor >she manipulated connections to get that role or fucked her way to get that roleShe did not earn that role and has zero previous writing credits to her resume. Imagine getting a writing role for a billion dollar franchise with ZERO credits.
>>740283329I won't care about any of that shit if I don't like how the game looks. Aesthetics matter, and Western devs don't know what good aesthetics are anymore.
>>740283208>thoughtful deconstruction of the unchecked masculinity that defined the original trilogy"That unchecked masculinity is literally what gets Kratos and BOI through the journey, Kratos rips enemies apart and activates the spartan rage to save hi son several times, nevermind the fact that he needed to blades to save Atreus life.
>>740283329can you niggerjeet marketers fucking kill yourself already? most forced shit i've ever seen.
>>740272301Well of course, but since it's modern AAA game development we're talking about, they'll have to wait for at least four fucking years for it.
>>740283329if they had any faith in this game it wouldn't be called god of war
>>740283596Of course they would, that's expected, but it's just how blatant the industry is with their shaming tactics. For instance, in the article yahoo wrote on it, they were careful to cut out the likes and engagement on Santa Monica's tweets had compared to Domino's. They know its a bad look to have a company bad talk their agenda and the majority of people agreeing with it, so now they have to group together, counter signal, and do their best to have the opposition with a loud speaker removed. There is nothing organic about their manufactured support, its just a bunch of gay, marxist journalists on an email list trying to snuff out the popular opinion. It's sickeningly manipulative and disingenuous. One article was trying to bemoan the whole "culture war" aspect like they didn't fucking start this shit.
>>740272601because women writerthere's a solid 30% chance that this was some completely random property that sony stapled GoW onto afterwards to sell copies by association not knowing or caring that it kneecaps the brand
>>740272301no, I hate dad of boy too
>>740283596She actually backpedalled and said someone else is the lead writer.
>>740283818Clique, anon, the word you're looking for is clique. And it's a clique of journalists who've been doing this as far back as the OG gamergate when people were trying to sound the alarm about their little circle jerk giving preferential treatment to certain titles and individuals for exclusive benefits from said companies...and individuals.
>not only is the cube a quippy companion there 24/7 >but the ribbon on the sword is tooJfc
>>740283329HR roastie really thought she was cooking with this
>>740272457Wtf? That sounds dumb...dumber than the usual goy of war shit
>>740283919Preaching to the choir. I just feel like they've gotten so much more blatant with it over time but maybe its just because I'm more aware of it. Still, when you have to have coordinated articles attacking a pizza joint because they disliked your gay agenda... well, I'd say that's hitting a new level but I guess it's right in line with their desperate need to frame and control reality.
>>740283595Women exploiting the gaming industry for easy money and being enabled by simps has been an unmitigated disaster in the west. I wouldn't be surprised if Pearce fucked Cory Balrog to get her foot into SSM and wouldn't be surprised if he gets metooed in the future. Alannah has a very similar, younger look that Balrogs wife has and they were separated for a while right when Pearce was working on Ragnarok.
>>740272301They were already well aware of this game being a spin-off, it's just the usual tendie/xbot/pcụck concern trolling.
>>740283329>that fucking cube lmao I can already imagine how they thought it was the funniest shit in the world, this is the Critical Role millenial style writing, "everyone loves a funny companion right haha"
>>740283997They are not entirely right. She most likely will only be encountering gods who are already dead.
>>740272301>making hellblade senua/khbbs a fragmentary passage/hades 2/the last of us 2/horizon/tomb raider for the 200th timeand so sony learnt absolutely nothing from astrobot

>>740272301*teleports behind you**gropes your ass*
>>740272301>what if we mix Forspoken and Heavenly Sword and put some MCU and Portal references XDFuck off.
>>740282306I've been saying it for a long time now. The critical error is anons thinking they were forced to be woke and not doing it because they want to.
>>740284179this game was in production long before that
>>740283487didn't play it but i'd definitely mating press the lombax girl
>>740284243lombax tiddies
>>740284260Lombax tiddies, you say?
>>740284207I'm at the point where I'd rather get a Heavenly Sword sequel than whatever this shit is. I need more twing twang in my life.
Honestly, I don't think the concept is entirely a bad idea. This setup allows them to sprinkle in brief looks at other pantheons without needing to the long wait between when they actually get to making a game dedicated to any one of them.
>>740272301Nah, fuck it, I don't need any of them, make a game about CUBE instead
>women take power at Santa Monica studio, Laufey now has a female game director, art director, lead writer, etc.>series once known for being a manly testosterone-fueled gore fest is now a magic purple sparkle adventure with an ugly hag protag not made for the ‘male gaze’, a talking sword, and a quirky marvel cube I know I’ll sound like an incel which is crazy because I finally have a gf again after 5 years single. But the problem is women. Women have authority at these studios and with that authority their vision takes precedence. This is why Laufey has a setting and characters straight out of a young adult fiction setting. It’s industry wide feminization. Ironically enough it’s the indie scene, while still woke, is demonstrably more masculine in spirit than AAA other than the ‘cozy’ genre
>>740283553(((You know why)))
>>740283329Thanks HR lady, very cool.
>>740283329>the actual questions nobody cares to discussWe don’t care to discuss because we already know the answers to these questions. It’s a shitty modern AAA Sony movie game. All that’s left to discuss is that it’s a feminist power fantasy that is led by female developers in a once very manly series
They are selling this as a spin-off just to get people used to Kratos not being the main protagonist, since they are going to replace him with Atreus. It's all just an excuse to relativize the "God of War" title, mark my words.
>>740272301>trailer doesn't even have a date meaning the game is likely not even scheduled for the next 3 years>OH WELL CHUD YOU WILL FIX IT IN THE NEXT GAME OKIs self awareness illegal in California or something?
>>740283580This. Fuck the discourse. They expect you to debate with people who will simply use subjective reasoning to dismiss all concerns.The only true response is >take your woke corporate faggotry elsewhere
>>740284534>They are selling this as a spin-off
I honestly don't even care at this point, 2018 killed all the interest I had in the franchise. Ragnarok just cemented it, everything else is just further dessecration.
>>740272379Funny. Stellar Blade didn't seem to have that problem. I wonder why......
>>740284534>spin-offThey confirmed its mainline. The events of this game are going to set up the plot for the next Kratos focused game and give him an excuse to go to a foreign land and kill a new pantheon. The foid is probably going to be a second playable character in that game and you alternate between Kratos and her
>>740284470There was some CEO that fired the entire HR department of his company and overnight all the problems the HR team kept finding magically disappeared and the workers managed to get along better without HR. More companies need to fire their HR hags.
>>740272301ok happy to hear I'll return to the franchise when kratos does see you then
>>740284652Kratos died in GoW III, he isn't returning anon.
>>740282497to be fair dominos is the one entering the space as if its a consumerbut man holy ratio lmao
>>740272301this game will kill all future games tho
>>740272301Oh look another fake controversy tread by snoy marketing team.
I was a bit apprehensive, but it is clear to me you faggots don't actually know shit about games.Like this board has been shitting on dad of war since it was first announced in e3, now you faggots wanna pretend this change ruined it for you when you never liked it.Everytime /v/ hates a game this badly i have to assume it is good as you all clearly don't play games.
>>740283329>Writing is what matters >Character age the equivalent of 20 human years even being a Jotnar which is supposed to live thousands of years with some even being immortalHmmmmm i am noticing.
>>740284367This happened to WoW. It was a dark fantasy game about genocide and racism, now it’s a goofy fantasy adventure made by women
>>740281798Try again.
>>740281783The Lara/Nathan one doesn't work.
>>740283329>let's talk about the heckin lore in a game that was written by alanah pierced anus and sweet baby inc
>>740285080that is Chloe, not Lara
>people pretending nuGoW and nuGoW2 were good or even worth caring about
>>740283329>Just ignore the leftist agenda and be a soi cuck just like me
I don't think every woman in a video game needs to look like a bimbo, and I don't think every video game needs to have a male lead. I would never buy this game but if that's the game they wanna make I think it's fine. it's not like they're making you play as a nigger or a queer, complaining about old white mums is retarded just don't buy it. I feel like this whole thing is a psyops to make us look bad, but then again I remember all those dysgenic freaks recording themselves begging to see stellar blades boobs
>>740284650>”WHY DID YOU FIRE YOUR HR DEPARTMENT???”>”Because we had an HR department”Dude is absurdly based, we need more people like him. Younger guy too, plus what >>740282921 is sayingI say the world is healing, we’re just not seeing the best of it yet.
>>740272379As a woman, I disagree
>>740272301i have hated her since true blood, so no
When Ragnarok ended, GoW fans did a lot of speculation and spent a lot of time discussing where the next game should take place and what pantheon Kratos should fight. The devs presumably saw all of this and said “our next mainline game will feature Kratos’s ugly hag wife as the protag in a young adult fantasy setting written by women”
>>740285263on a side note I remember speaking to white trash girls who had those metal vests and shit who said they liked god of war on the ps2 when I was a teenager because they'd play it at their dads house so I could see them liking a game where they play as this haggered bitch, although I doubt they still play games. either way is it really that big of a deal
>>740272301no
>>740285214I don't want lesbians anymore, I want buddy cop action games with a Frenchman and a Jap as they kill demons together.
>>740285263Ok but the actress at her prime looked nothing like a bimbo, she was just a very attractive woman and still way more attractive that the game made her. Also why are you arguing like a woman "hur dur the men asking for hot characters are ugly" yeah duh even ugly people don't want to see ugly people on video games for the main role of an action game.
>>740285214Those are all fan renders from porn image sets.
>>740285263Wanting to see boobs makes you a bad person?
>>740272301
>>740285423but the actor isn't the character, its a video game not a movie. in the game she's like going to hell or something she's not covered in makeup with good lighting for a photo shoot like the actor, I feel like she's meant to look a bit rough. plus attractive actors play ugly characters all the time.
>>740285439>>740285214>It's all fakeNice try.
>>740285303go back to the kitchen
>>740279983wouldnt it be funny if they killed kratos in the very first episode like they did he-man
>>740283487>uncharted>"now"check when was the last game
>>740285495So if that's the case, why do these companies always manage to make Debra Wilsons characters look pretty damn accurate to the bug eyed monster she turned into over the years?
>>740285485GegSaved
>GODSposting killed Kratos
>>740284950>ruinedNo, we're laughing at how utterly pathetic this piece of shit is.Look I get it, you love playing games that hold your hand more than Peppa Pig, Dora the Explorer and Reader Rabbit combined. There's actually a lot of shame in that especially if you try and claim it's mature. What we want are games to be games again and stop trying to cater to the child molesters in hollywood. Hell movies are inferior to games as an art form so the fact that a game being seen as art is when it's doing its best to ape hollyslop is just pathetic.
>>740285495Kratos went to hell several times and didn't change appearance at all, also if they truly wanted to make her look worse because she is dead why didn't they mess with her hair? That is literally the first thing you would think, instead they aged her. Also it's not because her apparency alone it's because woke games focusing on this shit normally go hand in hand with a shit game.
I thought chuds would love a game where you play as a blonde haired blue eyed nordic god who's also a loving wife and mother. Isn't that their wet dream?
>>740285554I just don't think its the same thing, that's an argument against retarded movie games with Debra Wilson for the sake of having her. This is a game with the wife of the God of War dying and going to hell it makes sense she's looks weathered
>>740285679>marvel writing>A FUCKING CUBE NAMED FRANK>hand holding out the ass>said woman is a decrepit old hagNo, this is not what we want. Not even close.
>>740285541So? Naughty Dog has been pushing this kind of crap earlier than other studios. And don't try to pretend people didn't make fun of the ending for years. Anyway, it's clear that the next game will be about Cassie.
>>740285495>in the game she's like going to hell or something she's not covered in makeup with good lighting for a photo shoot like the actorYou niggers always, ALWAYS use this gay faggot excuse and it's not going to work, no matter how much you cope.>She's going to hell so she should look ugly and decrepitWhy? So you'll accept it's a game. A blatant work of fiction that has no basis in reality.But in the same breath you're saying we should be thinking about realism in the case of makeup.You are a pussy-worshipping, cum-guzzling faggot. NO ONE wants to play as some hag from HR. NO ONE.
>>740285586It's an amazing picture because it applies to literally every single old franchise that is brought back in modern times and doesn't flop immediately.
>>740285724The argument was that the actress who is being used to mocap the character is not the character, so if any changes to the face or character model happen, then it's intended to differentiate the character and actor. I argued that this isn't the case when developers pick and choose when this applies. Case in point Gunnar Wright provided the "face" for the remake Dead Space Isaac despite the character previously having a totally independent look, or the actor for Kal Cestis in the Jedi Survivor games looks incredibly similar to his actor. So again, why does it suddenly change when the actress is conventionally attractive? The technology is clearly capable of doing a 1 to 1 replication, so it's not a technical issue.
>>740272301I just don't know why they can't let Kratos go. You have a series with a title as innocuous as "God Of War" so it could be anyone. You chose one of the most popular pantheons as your setting, with a ton of instantly recognizable figures. Yet you're still so scared of making money you had to bring out fucking Mickey Mouse because you're so pussy you had to bring back a character I literally saw kill himself on screen. Just to use a new character 3 games later, and you're still so scared of not making money you had to actually slide his ass in in the trailer as well as confirm to the children their comfort character isn't going anywhere any time soon. It genuinely makes me sick, shit is disgusting.
>>740285675they aged him up in the last 2 god of war games and he is a demi god, she is a mortal even if she is a superhuman one>>740285818just because they can and other games have, it doesn't mean they should or that its what they want for the character. if she is meant to be older and rough looking then why wouldn't they change it.
>>740272301The fuck do I care about the current director, the creator of the franchise said the game looks like shit.
>>740283329This is even gayer than Pride Month. Fuck off.
>>740285809>God of War>Star Wars>Indiana Jones>Halo (they attempted it in 5 but went back on Infinite, franchise is still shit regardless)Any other ones?
>>740285679It's not what you say, it's how you say it. If you get what I mean.
>>740285887She is a Jotnar, they live thousands of years. Kratos is over one thousand years old at the beginning of GoW 2018 so of course he aged.
>>740285679So check it out, you talk like a fag and your shits all retarded.
>>740285303>As a woman, I disagreewell luckily that means nothing since the opinions of women are irrelevant.Thus what he says is obviously FPBP.
>>740281783STOP NOTICING!!!!!!!
>>740272301>right girl is actually going to be kratos' son after trooning out with gay greek magicholy grim
>>740283329Why does nobody talk about how Ragnarok is a piece of shit rushed game because they refused to make a trilogy only to append the most useless game nobody asked for now?
>>740281783I look forward to the era, sometime in the future, where all of the current era game and movie reboots are retconed out of existence and acknowledged as the mistakes they are.
>>740286329think of the hilarious parody games that will be made to make fun of this era
>>740286380Humans in the 22th century are going to have so much fun shitting on early 21th century ones. Climate change, DEI/ESG, immigration, shittiest wars of all time, world leaders, entertainment. All of it is bad. There won't be map painting games of this era because nobody will want to play as these countries.
>>740272379This
>>740286456They're likely going to look at the 21st century as a follow up to the utter madness that was going on in the 20th century. Same ideologies causing it as well.
>SONY, MY WIFE IS YOURS
>>740272301No he won't. They are going to kill him off in the next true God of war game
>>740273952shitting on the game does not make it sell better lmao.
>>740287076yes it does
>>740287076UMMM ACTUALLY IT DOES CHUDDIE, SO STOP COMPLAINING AND BE A GOOD GOY AND ACCEPT THIS!
>>740287171lol
>>740287185So Highguard was a financial success thanks to all the mogging it got?
So is it coming to PC or what? I'm addicted to the high difficulty and skill ceiling of these games on the hardest difficulty setting. If there was a story it has been relegated to the back of my mind.
>>740287192kim kardashian whored herself outonly did good things for her and the entire familypositive always outweighs the bad
>>740272301Here's the thing, god of war sucks, regardless. >>740272583Pearl Davis.
>>740272394They're the same. You literally kill "Old Kratos" as Better Kratos, and the former dies like a neutered pussy.Fuck that zesty Stargate nigga while I'm at it. He's a fucking bogged moron who can't act. James Earl Jones may be famous for his voice, but goddamn was he insane on stage. What the fuck can this jigaboo do except lie about the behind-the-scenes production and have contempt for the fanbases that preceeded/created his only job opportunities?
>>740280906Shes so cool omgLiterally me
>>740272301I hope that they will add a visible blonde bush in some of the outfits.
>>740288646why is petty fuzz really hot irl, but in games it looks disgusting?
>>740282306>A woman in a game is wokeAs long as the definition is literally "anything other than a straight white able-bodied cis man", then no, woke is never going to end.
>>740272301It's obvious they are using this game to train for the upcoming gow remakes
>>740288885Replacing legacy main characters with randos does very much count as woke.
>>740288885you are a fucking tard mate
>>740281798I can say the same about Angrboda
>>740288885fuck you, cunt
>>740288885stop using fag language
>>740288796textures are a bitch
>>740288979the fact that this needs to be said is irritating, im tired of faggots purposefully playing dumb.
>>740288796Realistic lighting on hair is particularly hard for computer graphics and you hit the uncanny valley at full force because of it.
>>740288979So Metal Gear Solid 2 is woke then?The Bourne Legacy is a woke movie?
>>740283997All the gods share a slop afterlife now. It's insane what they've chosen to do.
Ragnarok was so unbelievably shit I vowed not to bother with any further modern God of War games until another complete reboot happens.I did actually enjoy 2018, the movie-game segments weren't as egregious as people shitting on it like to claim. Ragnarok however had like half the game be 'cinematic walking' coupled with the obnoxious dogshit dialogue and characters.
>>740272301Ok, then I’ll play those games instead of his wife’s.
>>740288796They put them on ugly models and focus on the wrong place.
I hope Monkey D. Laufey kills more Gods of War total in one game than Kratos did in his whole series just to see the mayhem it'll cause
>>740289330MGS 2 redeems itself by keeping snake around and acting as a mentor throughout the game but it received a lot of backlash for the switch nonetheless.Never seen the bourne movies so I'm not going to comment on it.Regardless, we are talking about more recent instances of it when suddenly in america being male and/or white and/or heterosexual was believed to be a capital sin in society and every instances of it had to scrubbed, cleaned and erased and we had to pretend it was always bad or never happened.
>>740288646I miss shaving my 4'8 ex :(
>>740289687>when suddenly in america being male and/or white and/or heterosexual was believed to be a capital sin in society and every instances of it had to scrubbed, cleaned and erased and we had to pretend it was always bad or never happened.That totally wasn't a culture by the way, but wanting straight white male protags back definitely is.
>>740285303
>>740289687>being male and/or white and/or heterosexual was believed to be a capital sin in societyJesus, you sound insane.99% of MCs in everything are straight white males, people make a dozen that aren't and suddenly it's the apocalypse, I guess representation really does matter after all
>>740272301>Kratos Will Return in Future GamesDon't worry, in Laufey you'll get a playable section as Frank THE CUBE
>>740290116Oh, I don't have a problem with people making their own stuff. I do have a problem with people taking stuff that built its popularity over decades and decide that it's not representative enough so butchering it should be the way forward from now on.
>>740274552>claims she left Santa Monica Studios in 2024>claims "This is the game I wrote," for "4 years" when we know she is not the lead writer or narrative directorI am going to laugh so hard when the screenshots of the credits get released and she is not in them.
>>740272301so in 10 years? just be patient guys.
>>740272301Wow snoy girlboss genderswap game #6, with discord art and writing.
>>740272301>returnReturn as a side-character they mean
>>740279953Because you're not allowed to have cool White characters.
>>740290167I'm ONE HUNDRED percent sure the idea for a gelatinous cube companion came from the roastie playing the MC, she's into dnd shit and they just can't get enough of their "super funny" quirk companions
>>740280774they thought they were better men
>>740272301So its ok to skip this one.
>>740290830no you are supposed to buy it
>>740290867No, I think I'll skip.
>>740289330Mgs2 got raped in release and konami basically needed to do damage control by going over the top to make raiden more appealing (child bearing hips)
>>740290926
>>740272301Look Tomar its you
>>740272301>announce new game>put the "ugly woman replaces the regular MC" branding on it to let everyone know exactly what will be in it >people decide to skip it because they know the devs who do this are so ideologically narrow minded that the ugly femMC always comes as a package deal with all the other woke shit, so they are simply no longer the target audience >"wow, you are such cry babies!"would you put Chud in a trench suit with a sawed off shotgun on the cover of The Sims and then throw a bitchfit when women tell you they are not interested in it and that it was a stupid decision?
>>740281798thor is never once described as fat
>game industries fighting tooth and nail to get just a crumb of that female audience>burning through all good will and billions of dollars >almost 20 years of this now>girls STILL don't give a shit about video games
>>740283208they intentionally did it to ruin it for the audience, and this is just their mocking victory lap to inform everyone that they took something those dudebros enjoyed and destroyed it.
>>740291105would rape child bearing hips raiden (no homo)
>>740283329we don't need to ask any of those questions because we already know exactly what it will be, thanks to them making her ugly.that shit always comes as a package deal with them, because their ideology is so hostile towards wrongthink. they cannot write a good story because it would get their own side on their throat, so we already know it will be manhating bossbitch slopaganda
I'm good bro, I hope your games do well. It's time for me to be a better man and move on from this franchise.
>make Bridget Jones' Diary 2>Bridget Jones is played by Arnold Schwarzenegger>the plot is about graphic gun violence>complain that women aren't buying it>ask why it matters whether Bridget Jones is a man or a woman>call them misandrist>"reassure concerned fans" that if they buy this they'll put some women in a future movie maybe????
>>740273952>retarded tranime nigger thinks that most of the sales are pushed by spite buyerschecks out
>>740291984This never happened.
>>740292128why not?Oh that's right, it's because this retardation only goes one way
>>740291984kek, pretty muchthey'd never dare to pull any of this shit on women, but when it comes to men they think they can bully them into eating any pile of shit that is presented to them
>>740280482Not that anon you responded to but my friend group was very insistent on the same point that ‘Jin’s story is done’ and its ’time for new characters’ even though the Second Mongol Invasion was right around the corner. It was the perfect opportunity to have him go and teach others how to become a ninja/robin like him but then SP did the bait-and-switch for the sequel. Funnily enough though that wasn’t what turned me off from it. It was finding out some of the DE Failguard writers were or had become part of the writing team.
>>740272301They should have dropped Kratos as the main character before the Nu games, and instead have him become like Drakengard 2 Caim or Kiryu in Yakuza and just kick your ass in a surprise boss fight.
>>740282402Yes? He's nonbinary, if you'll recall.
>>740272301in dlc only.
>>740282345Santa Monica Developer, I promise you that if you hadn't run Luffy through the old uglification scanner the game would not be half as controversial. You need to compromise, if you want a popular female lead you can't also intentionally make her uglier than her face model.
>>740272301There are no god of war fans lmao
>>740273952Probably the dumbest nigger in the thread because just the fact it’s a GoW game it will sell million easily.
>>740273952No, I'd rather developers made good video games instead of bad ones in some elaborate and illplanned gambit it to crash the industry and maybe 20 years from now make good video games
>>740274015>NISA>Asking trannylators
why are nugamer manchildren so fucking whiny
>>740272301by future games they just mean remakes btw. You WILL play as a trans boy in GoW: FAGnarok
>>740273952>he thinks they care if it flopsBlackrock will keep funding more woke games until morale improves
>>740272301>... as a transitioned woman.
>>740279953Because they dont want villains to have dignity
>>740281798That's called a power belly and they did it very poorly.
>>740274492>The movie Atomic Blonde did it well.I fucking loved that final fight scene. Superb action. You see her struggling to dead with a single man and gets overwhelmed the moment there are two of them at the same time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrPDTalA1Lc
>>740272301>Implying anybody gives a fuck about nu god of war.There unironically has not been a good god of war game since the original trilogy.This slop can go into the wood chipper.
>>7402952762018 game was great. Possibly the best in the whole series.
>>740280774
>>740295276yeah same issue with Devil May Cry and Grand theft auto. So many series could have stopped on PS2 and been just fine.
>>740272301>have to wait another half decade for a Kratos gameNo, I'm not happy.
>>740295374No it fucking wasn't
>>740295074They made Thor a villain?
>>740272301The series is over Just let it rest They should have made a new IP for the Norse mythology instead of reviving the specter of Kratos
>>740272379Women are weak and pathetic. I just can't take them seriously
>>740295534>Made Thor a villain That's a strange way to phrase it. The Asgard gods weren't generally good people, they're not that different from their Greek counterparts.
>>740288896That’s kind of what I was thinking. They’re using this to work out faster paced aerial combat for the Greek trilogy.
>>740273327>games take 6-10 years to makeYep. This industry needs a crash so fucking bad. I don't care if these people end up homeless or starve, it needs to crash. Games need to be developed in 1-3 years again. Not one aspect of these colossal projects taking a decade+ and costing 80 gorillion dollars to make ks worth it.
I for one think Kratos' wife looks cool and fun to play as.The gameplay looks like the best basedGOW has ever been easily. Taking jumping and air combos out was a huge mistake, the trailer proves that because it really looks way better than any gameplay in 2018 and Basednarok.The writing and dialogue is irredeemably bad though, like actual marvelslop tier writing completely and uitterly removed from the original, even 2018 seems like its from a different franchise when I saw that fucking jello cube named Frank.
>>740272379Fpbp
>>740272301Does that magically remove the cube voiced by that wimp from The Boys from the game?Does that make cutscene-to-gameplay ratio more skewed towards the latter?Does that reduce the amount of "Press R2 to move the plot along because we need a facsimile of interactivity so the player doesn't fall asleep while nothing is happening"?Does that improve the writing?Does that make positioning matter given every enemy and Fey herself have a magnet that activates the moment they attack?No to all of the above, so the only thing I can be sure of is that Laufey will be the usual AAA slop with more marvel writing this time
Been saying this franchise was going woke with Ragnarok while NewFag GOW fans slobber over their GOW reboot trash.the first 3 plus PSP exclusive will always be the TROO GOW games CAN WE FINALLY JUST ADMIT THAT SONY ARE FAGGOTS AND THROW THEM OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH?
>>740272601>why have the third and final game of the norse trilogyIt's not. The Norse trilogy doesn't exist, it was two games. They talked about this in interviews when Ragnarok came out because they didn't want to put the time into making a trilogy because games take too long to make and shit like that. That's why Ragnarok is so crap since they did the Norse GoW story in only two games.
>>740272379I want to be a woman
lol
>Everything fantasy has to le epic so randum D&D session nowI hope you /tg/fags are happy.
>>740272379I'm gender blind, so for me it would be easy to play as a woman, but I hate woke shit so I'll refuse to play this
>>740281798now it's supposed to be accurate? what about Niggrboda, is she accurate?
>>740272301feminist hag social agenda slop
>>740272457If the next god of war kills christ, the chud rage will be so delicious!
>>740296256pretty sure /tg/ hates all the retards that hopped on the bandwagon after critical role
>>740296353bait use to be believable.
>>740272457Why are you pretending there's some super small limited amount of Gods lol?
butt I wasn't making any noise about this disappointment
>>740284534this is not a spin off retard, a spin off would be what is sonic spinball is to sonic
>>740284647I think they're going to keep Kratos and Atreus as the playable characters in GoW games afterwards.His wife is probably going to be superkilled by some other God which is the excuse for Kratos to go batshit in another Pantheon and they'll do the emotional father son shit with Atreus bringing him back, or do it in the opposite way and have Atreus sperg out on another Pantheon and Kratos trying to keep him from repeating his own mistakes.
Damage is done.Franchise is ruined.Nothing says WAR like VAGINA.what is she having MENSTRAUL CRAMPS that she will kill the God of PROSTAGANDINS?
GoW is a lolcow franchise
>>740280774I'm still trying to make sense of Sony presenting themselves the mature dudebro company in contrast to Nintendo being for toddlers with no standards. While also hating dudebros for toxic masculinity.
>Will you crybabies shut up now?
>>740296256/tg/ hates this kind of shit. The only people who like Critical Role humor are fags who don't play and fags who ruin tables by pretending they're the main character.
>>740272301We already knew this though.Doomposting over Faye is hilarious considering they already damagecontrolled for this months ago by announcing the Olympian trilogy remakes.The "Next mainline game" nonsense is so transparent after Yotei sold like shit though.The problem this game has is that it's not telling the interesting part of Faye's story? Her game should be a prequel of her and Kratos leading the rebellion and her tempering him into the Father he would become. I'm sure they can do interesting things with the Everywhen since we've already seen elements of Olympus in Hel and Valhalla, but Ragnarok's writing was so fucking boring and the quippy sidekicks only serve to make it worse.It'd be nice for fags to actually address the problems that are there rather than hagposting.
>>740272601>and not have kratos actually fucking meet all the people he killed just to show the contrast of the changed man he isDo we really need more blubbering and crying out of him?
>>740280774They thought the dudebro audience would buy whatever slop was put in front of them because they had been doing that as long as the product appealed to them. It doesn't now, so they have no reason to keep buying.
>>740272301MY WIFE'S SOOOOOOOOOOOON
>>740272301I like Deborah but the gameplay looks like ass.
>>740284243>lombax girlxhe iz non-binary CHUD. Check your privileges, biggot.
This game use to give you power up bonuses if you had sex with whores.
>>740272301Do I even have to say anything at this point?
>>740296256The theatre kid infestation in /tg/ spaces is a god damn nightmare thats 10x worse than vidya
>>740272301I was never crying. Game looks okay. I just hope they polish it more before release. Pacing was weird and the combat looked a bit rough in places.
>>740298408Why the hell would they make the second to last Lombax in the universe an idiot and doom the species?
>>740285541I mean new Uncharted is rumored to have Drakes daughter as main character so it will happen twice kek. Game will also then just be diet Tomb Raider too.
>>740288885I assume you're an advertiser and I have no reason to assume otherwise.
>>740272301do they need to? why can't game devs make new mascots depending on the generation instead of giving them the 40+ year mario treatment?
>>740299046Tomb raider use to objecitfy women as an incentive for men to play and triangle tits will be hotter than whatever they will make this woman into. probably lesbian.
>>740298429>640x648
don't fund women's entertainment
Men deserve their own club to discuss our beliefs without women intervention.Women use to be uneducated and couldn't read or write, so how can they screw up our good times if they are stupid?women should be stupid because they will guarantee ruin any good time a man has. I don't want a woman's input on what a game with the word "WAR" in the title.
>>740298979Owning the chuds is more important than the survival of a species.
>>7402723016 years from now Kratos will be a better man.
>>740283329>female female female>muh lore depthThe real issue is the modern-day californian writing all over the place which bogged down Ragnarok already to an immersion-breaking 6/10
>>740273501Shotas belong to fat old men
>>740272457>>740296353Kratos can't defeat Jesus. The latter would mop the floor with him, but refuses because He is based. Probably give him a hug and say "You are forgiven, Kratos." and the greek god of war will burst out in tears.
Kratos' emasculation is something that should be studied
>>740272301there won't be anything to return to after the crazy karen arc LMAO
>>740301319one look at that fruit barlog would explain everything
