European and I love gameplay focused character action titles. I don't mind a focus on narrative in the new GoW as long as it still has a good combat system.

God of War changes sound good to me
Yes i'm european
Thank you for making sure the first response was a good one. I hope you win a lot of money and get fame.

Wait, what? I thought God of War was officially confirmed not to be open world. Oh please don't say it's open world, that would put a serious dent in my hype for it.

? Read the OP.
Will you thank them if it´s great?
Yeah, I wonder how strongly those companies compete by throwing money at Sony to market games with their platform holder resources.
Not only it is openworld, Corey confirmed that users can throw the axe at the beginning of the game and finish the game without ever recalling it back.
Now that's attention to details [and hardcore optimizing].
When talking about optimizing, he also said that game also has no camera cuts. Entire game is a "single shot".
And to think some people were convinced last year that they changed the formula, because the series has gotten stale or something lol.
NOPE, it has nothing to do what that at all and the proof is right here.

Lol, yeah, the reaction in here is super weird. I don't get what people are talking about at all.

I'm european and I like original God of War AND narrative-driven games. I mean, don't blame me.
(And yes, fuck Singstar.)

Agreed, I think he confused open world, with an expansive and interconnected setting, like Uncharted. This game is obviously going to have a focus on more nuanced narrative, which should be a good thing. Kratos as two dimensional psychopath rans his course with Ascension.
Hmm little concerned about this.
I am still interested in it, But I fear it's moving away from what god of war actually is.
If the brutality of it is removed, not sure I'll consider it a god of war really...
Also news to me god of war has historically done bad in europe and hack and slash isn't popular.. .
Also find it almost...insulting really, like he considers Europe is a hive mind and all have the same thoughts and mindsets. Know it's not him alone and companies research into this thing too to adjust decisions and etc., But still sad.

On a serious note it sounds like it will be one hell of a show and I'm happy to see more JPN games. Still hoping to see 13 Sentinel.
Game director (Cory) told , its not open world but more wide.
Sony executive is saying its Open world.

Well, I mean, all of those games were obviously appearing at E3 and it's not like Shawn would ruin the surprises now (read:Sucker Punch+DMC5).
Sure, but I have a feeling we will be thanking TLOU/Naughty Dog for showing how a sidekick should be done.
I dont really care if it is Open World or not but that could be a big change for the series.

you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
So now I'm back to worrying about the new GOW again. I keep trying to give Sony the benefit of the doubt but every new piece of info concerns me. Seems like they are completely​ leaving the old franchise behind. I liked the hack in slash power fantasy and that genre of games seems like it's​ totally dead now.
The games always had a decent story imo but the way it's worded in the press release makes it sound like they're toning​ down the action and taking away control from the player.

I was hyped out of my gourd during that God of War reveal, but the further away from it we get, I feel like I'm just going to miss the chaotic, brutal ballet of a casual spectacle fighter, get a sense of Sony mandated me-too homogeny from the go-to Last of Us camera angle and AI partner... and I can't shake a kind of resentful feeling that this pivot in tone and design is less in service of people who loved the original games, but more in service of influential media people who absolutely hated Kratos and think storytelling has to be about relationships, witty banter and internal monologues in order to mean anything to anyone.
There's no way it won't still be amazing for what it is, probably downright flabbergasting, but I just can't shake the feeling that it's going to feel like a game that resents it's own past as a series.

The guy directing the game says it's not.

The writer stated this, not Jim Ryan. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

No, you're right. It's not a quote.
So, this is a open world?
Holy shit...

Not surprised about the hack and slash genre. I've seen too many let's plays with people pressing the same button or combo for 8-10 hours...

Lol!
I was never huge on GoW but this game could be interesting. At least it looks like a better reboot than DmC (which I hope gets a DMC5 to get real Dante back.)

That's not true. They had a partnership with them before the remaster. They showed up to show off a Ps3 bundle, while releasing screenshots on the side.
Though I do think they'll show up in a big way. If they want to turn RDR into GTA V, they'll need to do some leg work.

Excited for Days Gone, Spiderman and God of War. Also want to see more CoD WWII and Battlefront 2 footage. That plus all the surprises makes for a nice conference imo.
I'd play it.
I said LAST time not ONLY time.

They better be at E3 showing something new if they wanna push this game, smart decision if they do show something and it's not just to announce a bundle for next Spring. Which tbh wouldn't make much sense.

Lol I'm european and I loved GOW 2&3. I feel like marketing for those games werent so big here though. But yeah i dont know many other people that play GOW.
I dont think hack n slash was the problem. People here are just less dudebro-ey and didnt care for the fountains of blood and using ripped faces as lanterns

Everything is flowing as expected, one week to E3 and we are at the "Wait, what happen if it's bad!?" point.
