Looking at The Last of Us, God of War Ascension and Uncharted 4 DLCs, I say the trend is very structured.

You could buy weapons in god of war ascension? I necer knew that

 

[Shin-Ra]

Forgot how nice the new HUD design looks, getting rid of the dated opaque Blades.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

They cant release this in spring, given RDR2 got pushed to that time frame. They need all the hits they can get.

The earliest RDR2 will be coming out is April 2018. GoW usually comes out in March.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Don't get fooled. I don't think this is authentic at all. How could they get such details? The "Helwalkers" thing sounds weird since nothing was revealed about such enemy in GOW. We will see how true this will be after E3. Also Januray 2018? Really? Doesn't sound right to me. GOW trend was always March.

 

[Toki767]

That honestly sounds like a lot of stuff for $200.

 

[GIANKRATOS]

Mine.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Just like Horizon?

I'd say Horizon is Guerilla's baby, not SSM's or their NA studios.

 

[FelipeMGM]

yeah, the date itself doesnt mean much, it could be placeholder

But the fact they are putting up a CE with a price and all these details about the CE content makes me believe that date reveal might coming soon

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Awesome, probably won't get the Collectors edition myself, I stopped buying these expensive editions a long time ago now but will probably pick up the stand alone steel book special edition that normally comes out when there is a collectors edition steel book version.

Cannot wait to see more of this game at E3.

 

[Elfstruck]

I'd say Horizon is Guerilla's baby, not SSM's or their NA studios.

Then why you listed UC4 as your point?

 

[Alpende]

200 is way too much for a CE.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Then why you listed UC4 as your point?

Because that's the biggest blockbuster Sony has after God of War and TLOU.

I am not against DLC as long as it doesn't hinder anything else.

P.S. Horizon is getting DLC. They haven't announced much yet besides it being an expansion (YAY!).

 

[Wollan]

Date is very specific. Probably real.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Date is very specific. Probably real.

its a monday tho

the date doesnt discredit for me anyway, it could be a placeholder.

The fact they have this much info on the CE is a sign to a date beeing revealed soon

 

[Mr.Deadshot]

They cant release this in spring, given RDR2 got pushed to that time frame. They need all the hits they can get.

GoW will be fine, even against bigger Third-Party-Games.

Special Edition sounds legit. I am pretty sure it will be pushed to March.

 

[DMONKUMA]

An actual date revealed at E3 would be fantastic.

 

[LordofPwn]

if the date was a tuesday or friday in march i would 100% believe it. it could be that they ship it on a monday, but most likely it's a placeholder date. the collector's edition details seem real though. I expect we'll get more details in a couple weeks.

 

[Nachtfalke]

Price is probably a place holder. The Bloodborne Nightmare edition also had a price holder price with 180€. It was 50€ cheapier in the end. It's common thing for Spielegrotte.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Don't get fooled. I don't think this is authentic at all. How could they get such details? The "Helwalkers" thing sounds weird since nothing was revealed about such enemy in GOW.

Come on man, you're smarter than that....

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Come on man, you're smarter than that....

Do you really think this is authentic? No one knows until further official confirmation.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Do you really think this is authentic? No one knows until further official confirmation.

Yes because why the hell should one of the biggest retailers in germany "fake" something like that?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Can't be more authentic than that a detailed description.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Why only one retailer then? Normally many would do it if true, I don't know this sounds strange to me.

 

[Wereroku]

.

This is the first time I have noticed scar from when Zeus stabbed him.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

January 2018 seems like a good time to release the game. Hopefully we'll get a big blowout at E3.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Why only one retailer then? Normally many would do it if true, I don't know this sounds strange to me.

because it leaked... stuff leaks, it happens all the time, it was not planned to be revealed yet.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

If this is true then why not? A more advanced release date is always welcome. But I don't remember any major AAA title and especially exclusive games releasing in January before.
And you know such games are prone to delays.
Anyway. The GOW3 CE box was the most epic in any CE of any game: that Pandora's box was insane. I wonder how GOW4 box will be.

 

[JaseC]

Wait this could mean we get a release date at E3!?.... HYPE!!

I think we'll get a window at E3 and a firm date at PSX.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I'm not sure i understand the question, are you asking why it was not planned to be revealed yet? also about the release date, i don't know if this is the real one but what the CE includes sounds very likely, it's too detailed and specific. This doesn't come from some random 4chan or reddit post, when a retailer posts information like that you can bet it's true.

I think we'll get a window at E3 and a firm date at PSX.

Yeah this sounds more likely.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

This is a pretty fucking game, SSM have always been ahead of the pack. Only Dreams looks better from the Sony first party.

I don't think anything could come close to this seeing the whole package:

Besides the great snow deformation tech, the icicles SSS looks among the best and most natural I have ever seen

I hope we get an official confirmation for that soon. The content seems very rich and tempting.
I hope the box follows and will look epic too.

 

[benzopil]

Only one retailer leaked Shadow of War with cover and two editions before it was announced.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I'm so excited for this game, the main reason is this man:

Cory Barlog

He made the best God of War game yet (GoW 2), this new GoW game is destined to be a masterpiece.

Edit: Also I highly recommend checking out God of War 2's making of, this man works like a machine.

Edit2: Argh, the CE doesn't list a making of for the game... i really hope we get one, the GoW 2 one was fantastic.

 

[De_Legend]

It's probably going to be open world ish a la Tomb Raider Reboot.

 

[Rizific]

the only other ps exclusive that im waiting on. dont give a damn about any CE, but i want more info on the game!

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

I'm so excited for this game, the main reason is this man:

He made the best God of War game yet (GoW 2), this new GoW game is destined to be a masterpiece.

He made the longest and hardest GOW ever with most bosses: almost 13, and almost all enemies are bosses. I hope he continues this with GOW4. This is kinda confirmed if the troll is just a regular enemy, sth you could consider a boss in other games.

It's probably going to be open world ish a la Tomb Raider Reboot.

Open setting with multiple paths yeah, but not entirely open world.

GoW 2 is one of the greatest games ever made. I was ecstatic when I found out he was going to be working on this game.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Could have sworn Cory confirmed they were doing one for this game too.

I am sure they will have making of stuff up on Youtube just like they did with Horizon.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Amen.

Could have sworn Cory confirmed they were doing one for this game too.

Oh that would great, hmm maybe it's already included in the standard edition.

I am sure they will have making of stuff up on Youtube just like they did with Horizon.

or this.

 

[ced]

Shields huh, can't wait for E3.

 

[Oathbreaker]

The collectors edition contains the following items:

Cloth game world map
Shield pack containing 3 in-game shields

Shot fired!

 

[Falchion]

Damn the cloth map sounds awesome but $200 is a ton for a collector's edition.

 

[mindsale]

It's releasing in Europe on 1/15/18?

God of War releases in North America July 2017 confirmed.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

if amazon doesnt take it away, ill get the CE for this game

 

[dreamfall]

H Y P E

I'm really excited to see more of the game at E3 - give us a date! Wonder what that statue looks like...

 

[Sangetsu-II]

"Shield pack containing 3 in-game shields".

Smells like micro-transaction mayhem to me.

Sounds like multiplayer to me

 

[DKHF]

yeah, the date itself doesnt mean much, it could be placeholder

But the fact they are putting up a CE with a price and all these details about the CE content makes me believe that date reveal might coming soon

I'm guessing trailer with the date a week before E3 like they did with Horizon last year. But if it's leaking this far out maybe next week... Leaning more towards pre-E3 week though.

 

[Laplasakos]

While i do believe the listing the release date seems kinda strange for a game of that caliber...

 

[True Fire]

January seems risky. It's a bit of a black hole after the holidays, and It's usually obscure JRPG season.

This is more of a March or April game I think.
