Anyone think that they'll pull back the camera for the boss fights?, so that the sense of scale is greater?

Lastly I really hope Shinobi tries to be more careful how he hints at leak game info. He could have given away a kid being involved. ("To Valhalla....My boy" or whatever tweet) Anyways the leaked artwork clearly show Kratos being accompanied by a young kid here:
Do people really think there won't be large setpieces and boss fights in a new GoW?
I hope they don't "evolve" the level progression.
This is one of my only remaining doubts. Ever since I saw the E3 demo, and even after Cory said there will be big boss fights, I got the feeling that GoW is gonna try and be a bit less of a classic hack n' slash, and my feare is that there's gonna be all these changes and one of them might be abandoning the linear, but imo well-paced progression where 100% of the time you keep working toward your ultimate goal, be it getting toe the oracle, then pandora's box, be it getting to the sisters of fate or be it getting to zeus. I think this is what makes these games so fun to replay. I thought Uncharted 4 had a lot of dead air compared to the first 3 games which is more apparent upon replays. I hope GoW doesn't end up having a hub where you can take on missions and side mission, or even if there isn't there end up being missions like "go with your son on another hunt" that have almost no action, instead it's mostly bonding and shit.
Basically, I want shit to hit the fan at the point where the demo ends or so. For example, the kid gets kidnapped and there's your end goal, you don't need anything else. Now go force your way through to your goal.
I have faith in Cory, I just hope their line of thinking when designing this game isn't "gamers these days want a more intimate, a more mature experience". We have plenty of those games already
Yeah it constantly adjusting in the vid.Looks like the camera will automatically adjust based on the enemy and the distance from it, they did a great job imho
2 quick screens from the video
It will stay really close only during exploration and in fights with little and few enemies or when you are distant form a big enemie imho, like in the first encounter of the video.
Just posting the thread about those leaks here just cuz. Kratos was accurate so if the rest of that art work is then just.. HNNNNG

Just imagine these locations with those graphics! (leaked screenshots from months ago)

Listen to IGN interview at 9:13 markNice finds. I was so expecting this game to be stupid but the more I see and the more I imagine, the more excited I get. Seeing that dragon / niddhogg / whatever flying in the distance just got me all giddy for the inevitable crazy set piece in which it is featured.
They're going for a more "personal" experience. There's nothing less personal than fighting a horde. Remember how the Troll would say things to Kratos and his son during the fight? That's what it'll be like.Epic bosses are confirmed, but I'm still concerned about the horde fights.
I mean, I need some of this:

Those first 2 gifs are from cinematics thoEpic bosses are confirmed, but I'm still concerned about the horde fights.

This is like an atom of Midgard Serpent's poop, if they use the actual Midgard Serpent of norse mythology.
Pretty much
Norse folklore has plenty of large serpents. If that's the world serpent, then they have an odd sense of scale. Unless this takes place at a time when it is still growing.
I'm pretty sure Beowulf, the character, is Norse.I was thinking about a Kratos vs. Beowulf boss fight and I was hyped
but then i realized Beowulf is an English Anglo-Saxon warrior I believe...then i cried
One thing I've noticed, and I haven't kept up with discussions in all of these threads to know if it's come up, is that there seem to be patches of the forest that are full of sunlight with the glow of spring/summer while all around it is cold/snow. Any Norse myth related to that or am I misremembering the video (only seen it twice)?
Now, at the end of the day we are talking about a video game which obviously will take some freedom to squezze Kratos into a Norse mythology setting, so they'll also use some freedom when it comes to scale.
The World Serpent could have been scaled-down a little to make it even possible to setup a fight against it. Other creatures, especially the well-known animals of the gods, like the boars from Freya and Freyr, might have been enlarged to make it more epic. One way or the other, I am totally hyped for the epicness this game promisses.
Could this be Jörmungandr the world serpent? In the Edda it surrounds the whole world and bites its own tail.
When Ragnarök comes, the serpent will come out of the water and poise the sky.
Edit:
over the shoulder and creepy god of war... seems like a different direction all together. not sure if want but I will end up buying it and liking it regardless because I am hopeless with kratos
Utgard-Loki, the leader of frost giants:
He's the one on the right, Thor is the one on the left.
It would be a pretty cool boss fight.
Don't forget Hephaestus... for a little bit, lol.I think it'd be so cool if one of these giant guys was just... benevolent, and cool with Kratos. I mean, we kind of saw a bit of that with Gaia and the Titans midway through the original trilogy, but goddamn, Kratos deserves a friend
That was a really nice catch! =o
Anyone else find this a tad creepy?
Great topic. I love details like this.
