App Trigger: "God of War is arguably the best game of the year, leaving everyone with their jaws touching the floor. Now, with the first chapter of a fantastic adventure over, there’s a chance this could become the best franchise of this generation."
Whatever form the next God of War game takes, it needs to be clear about what role Kratos is playing, lest the franchise lose direction.
I'm pretty sure it'd be a major mistake having Atreus as the main character in the next GoW. Seems to me like at best people tolerate him and his gameplay sections.
Ideally the story for the next game would be that Atreus has gone missing in Egypt, Kratos gets mad about it, picks up Mimir and goes on a god killing rampage.
If that is an option for the dev team then they need to make it a clean slate. No Atreus, No Mimir. That's what happened when he changed pantheons before. Lets Kratos be in that world. But it will be a difficult task to complete. Kratos and his past demons are getting a bit redundant as far as story telling goes.
Yeah there's not a lot of meat left on the bone story wise. Personally I'd happily accept any goofy reason they could come up with for why Kratos is in Egypt chopping off heads. I'm personally not that bothered about the finer points of the storytelling, although they do it well.
Now that Death Stranding has landed on iOS, here are five other PS4-era blockbusters that we'd love to have to play on our iPhones at any time.
Like the film or television industry, the world of gaming has seen its fair share of reboots over the years. While some of these video game reboots have had
Cory Barlog and team really did wonders making God of War for PS4. Hands down one of the best games I’ve ever played.
Goty is going to be interesting this year.
Having Gone with Kratos for the ride that was his tour of destruction through the Greek Parthenon, I thought the character had shown all he had to offer. Boy was I wrong! God of War was the perfect example of there's more here's than meets the eye!
From the start screen with Kratos standing there with his ax and the pain in his eyes and the rage in his swings to the journey he and Atreus embarked on and to them seeing a promise through really impacted me more than I was expecting!
All the memories of the original trilogy came flooding back to me when Kratos found the vase with his conquest painted on it and the low orchestra score playing as he looked upon it!
This is a prime example of what this medium can be and how it can create so many emotions that range from fear, rage, empathy and joy! The fact that you the player are along for the ride makes gaming something very special!
Best franchise with only one new game this generation? What does that even mean?
God of War is already an excellent series, but idk what the headline is trying to say with its wording
It already is
