God of War PS4: Will it Happen?

GamerFitnation: Santa Monica and Ready at Dawn Studios are currently working on The Order: 1886, and while we were recently treated to a gameplay reveal, there was still one question on my mind: What about God of War for the PS4?

[micx]

The question is when, not will.

[Aces17]

It needs to happen. God of War 3 was a top 5 game of last gen to me.

[ramiuk1]

think back how amazing the vistas looked on all of the last 3,purely mindlowing how u traversed the levels and areas.

i cant imagine how good they would look on ps4,infact it hurts my head just trying

[TheTwelve]

God of War 3 was one of my best experiences on the PS3, truly showcased what that console can do.

[SharnOfTheDEAD]

I can't argue, God Of War 3 really raised the bar in so many ways. I hope to see Kratos come to PS4

[waltyftm]

Agreed, and you can bet your first born on it.

[darthv72]

Oh it will happen. Just as there can't be a nintendo without a mario game or an xbox without a halo game...there cant be a playstation without a god of war game.

Okay, technically the ps1 didnt have a GoW game but you get the idea.

[BelkingOfSony]

Hope that also means the psvita will get its own god of war (the hd collection and the psp games don't count)

[3-4-5]

K, so I used to hate on this series when I didn't know much about it years ago. It was ignorant.

Are these pure hack n slash ?

How is the story ?

The Vita collection looks interesting but I'm not sure if I would like them.

Kratos in 4K can't Wait!

[Mikelarry]

last time i checked ps4 does not support 4k gaming

edit: yup i was right no 4k gaming

Who cares about 4k gaming you need the monitor to support it. Also 4K resolution is for videos not gaming unless you're on PC.

[Convas]

Is Sony porting the next God of War to PC because ...

[SageShinigami]

*sigh* Unfortunately, yes.

[pyramidshead]

Yes, although very curious how they plan on continuing the story because...well..you know

Sounds like it won't be for a while though which is needed but definitely looking forward to a next gen GodOW.

[Dark11]

Can't wait for more GOW!!
but please move on from Kratos Saga and go for a new setting.

[BelkingOfSony]

A new setting using other gods such as the nordic ones woukd be epic, imagine fighting a giant thor with the lightning and the big hammer

[Tontus]

New setting & mythology (Egyptian) but keep Kratos.

They can change Kratos a bit though, make him more relatable, less insane, more conscientious etc.

[Eonjay]

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say no.
At least not anytime soon.

[patrik23]

GOW III sold 1.1 million first month in US alone. Of course we're going to see it on PS4

[rmw2hot]

So hype for the next god of war. GOW3 was one of the most beautiful games I played last gen can't imagine how sick and epic GOW4 will look on my ps4

[SpiralTear]

I'd rather not. The story is so bonkers nowadays. I'd rather see a new protagonist for the next God of War. Kratos is just...meh now.

[Kurisu]

Yeah, he's escaped from the clutches of Hades one too many times. A new protagonist would freshen the series up and inject a new lease of life.

[SolidDuck]

I hope not. Am I the only one who wants new ip's for next gen. God of war, uncharted, gears of war, mass effect, and so on were all great games last gen. But it's a new gen, I want new experiences, not the same ones just prettier.

[Master-H]

As long as it's not a prequel and not made by the Ascension team, i'd be interested in it in a year or two.

[Kurisu]

Ascension was a let down. A graphically stunning letdown. I had much more fun with Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta on PSP than I did with that.

[SamPao]

Ascencion had a great Multiplayer, I. Would love to see that one ported to ps4

[SixtyNine]

for goodness sake. . put the series to rest.

[SonyROXitoohya]

Simply put and damn well said.

[Tontus]

Put Sony's biggest and most popular story driven IP to rest? What planet are you on? Do you realise how popular the series is? Aside from GT it's the only one capable of 6-7 million sales without mass bundling, a.k.a. being given away.

People will forget about Ascension when GoW4 is announced, that game still has an audience in the millions. Look how popular all the fake GoW4 trailers are on Youtube, one has well over 8 million views! Crazy.

[SixtyNine]

You're probably right from a business perspective, but that is none of my concern I ain't gettin' a cut.

The series has become so stale. . Ascesion is proof of that.. they even included a multiplayer mode to lure gamers. Yet, There was still a decline in sales compared to previous entries.

[Dan_scruggs]

God of War 3 - 5 million sold

God of War Ascension - 1.7 million sold

It might be a while.

[Agent_hitman]

Looking at GOW: Ascension's sale was disappointing

[SonyROXitoohya]

It will happen but i don't want it to. The God Of War series is old and stale, the gameplay is repetitive and the story is finished, we do not need another no matter how pretty they make the graphics they will never innovate enough to make the sequel worthwhile. Sony needs familiar IP's and no doubt they will shamefully keep milking this one for all it's worth.

[ziggurcat]

i would be disappointed if they cancelled (what sounded like) an interesting, unique new IP in favour of a new GoW.

[GuruStarr78]

God of war kart?!

[Dan_scruggs]

Kart of War - Drift to Olympus

[MasterCornholio]

I wouldn't mind an open world game based on Greek mythology like a game on the adventures of Hercules or Odyssius adventures. But I dont want another GOW I played a ton of them already.

[Aclay]

I think another GOW definitely will happen, there was the Easter Egg messages in GOW Ascension that seemed to point to more in the series, plus with the way GOW3 ended, I think for sure that Kratos will be seen again eventually.

Plus, the fact that Cory Barlog is back pretty much confirms to me that another GOW will be made. GOW2 was my personal favorite in the series, so I have confidence in him at the helm. Don't know what happened with Ascension. I thought it was a very solid game, but it was just missing something the other GOW's had. In the previous GOW games there was always this drive to do what you were doing in the game towards the story, but Ascension just felt more like senseless Hacking and Slashing to me.

I kinda think it was a mistake by making a prequel in the first place, they should've kept continuing forward with the story instead of going back. Heck, each GOW game (on console) takes place literally a few seconds after the previous version -- Ascension kinda broke that seamless flow of the series by being a prequel.

I'm guessing the layoffs were a result of Ascensions lower than expected sales numbers, it's just puzzling as why Sony decided on the layoffs now-- only thing I can come up with is maybe they wanted to wait about a year after Ascension came out to see were the sales stood, and if the sales hadn't improved enough to were they at least broke even on the game they would have to layoff other staff members of the studio.

Since it was reportedly Stig's game that got cancelled, I'm assuming all the people that were laid off were working on that project, and that most of the 'God of War team' is still intact and wasn't affected.

[Rhezin]

They need David Jaffe, Cory Barlog, or Stig back on the series. Any one of those people I'd know it'd be a great God of War game.

[ZombieGamerMan]

I hope to the God of War they don't make another one any time soon
