With the new God of War reboot debut just over a month away, we had to get in on this. Check out some of what you can look forward to on release

Honestly I was looking back and at the launch of the Xbox 1. With Don Matrick at the helm I was disappointed but therevwas something else. That fighting spirit of Xbox at its inception was lost. They stopped innovating, I lost excitement on what the next big new surprise was, because their weren’t any. Not like Halo 2 and Gears launch. You couldn’t really brag about it anymore.
So here we are and corporate MS has ruined what was a beautiful renegade project.
"Right now"?
But not 11 years ago with the disastrous Xbox One reveal which they NEVER recovered from?
Man are you slow on the uptake.
I imagine smaller ABK studios like toys for bob and beenox are now feeling uncertain about their futures
It was announced today that Tango Gameworks, the studio behind Hi-Fi Rush, will be shut down, which casts doubt on the future of the game.
I’m sure the support and franchise will live on due to its success. They may even keep some ppl and roll them into other studios. There are layoffs across the map tho in the game/tech industries in general tho including Sony, Facebook and more. My personal family has been affected by them.
Yet MS made a company-wide profit of $22 billion.
In my eyes releasing this on gamepass was a double edged sword approach, received extremely well, but didn't hit w.e batshit insane sales target MS had In mind
have all the people saying m$ buying all those companies, been proved correct yet,
they said more games, more choice, but ended up
less choice, less games, in reality... we were right
They developed the highest rated game Xbox has had as a exclusive in years and they shut them down? Doesn't make much sense.
Developers at Arkane Studios are reacting to the announcement of the shutdown of Arkane Austin, calling it "absolutely terrible".
I get it, but frankly, AA failed pretty badly on Redfall. The XBOX production team is also to blame (they are safe as usual) for releasing a game this hyped in a sorry state. There are lots of fail points on Redfall, but only Arkane bears the pain.
"Welcome to the Xbox family, graveyard is out back, what should we put on your epitaph?" Microsoft turning into this generation's EA, spend all those billions on Activision while closing studios they've run into the ground.
Why I’m really disappointed in Xbox and MS at large. At the same time let’s not pretend that somehow this isn’t an industry issue. Theirs a graveyard behind every major publisher. The only company I haven’t seen canning people is Nintendo and let’s hope that trend continues.
all I know is that this game looks to be another masterpiece again in the ps4s library.
I think this will top GoW 2 regardless of Nostalgia. I’ve been seeing nothing but great gameplay and previews. And, they are even allowing swapping R1 and R2 with Square and Triangle for light and heavy attacks along with tons of options like previous games. This is already looking like the game that will please both groups and like I said, Santa Monica know what they are doing with this. No complaints from me
I personally think this new God of War will be my personal favorite. I loved God of War 1-2, while not a fan of the 3rd or Acension. The formula had gotten stale by then, for me. I did really enjoy a few of he boss fights in 3 tho, and boy was it stunning than, and still looks amazing now.
The new changes made to God of War in 2018, with the camera, combat, which looks brutal, fast, and really cool. Freezing enemies with your axe looks awesome. And the different direction for the character of Kratos makes me so excited. The way I feel about this new God of War is similar to how I felt with Uncharted 4, which offered a much more grounded/deeper story & Nathan Drake. I know some didn’t like the changes/direction Uncharted went, but I much appreciated it.
I believe Sony Santa Monica have something special on their hands with this game.
lack of depth
Depends why you liked the other ones, if you just loved the obnoxious button mashing then probably not. I for one am stoked as hell as the gameplay looks excellent and I love a good story
