Meanwhile, the programming presentation titled 'Practical SPU Usage in God of War 3' should shed some light on Sony's anticipated sequel.

Hopefully we'll be able to see some of the game.

interrergator5587d ago

hope they both come out this year

Hal Emmerich5587d ago

Hopefully this means GOW3 will release this year.

dachiefsman5587d ago

While I hope that GOWIII does release this year, just cause its at the GDC does not mean it will be released this year.

TOO PAWNED5587d ago

Wow xbox fanboys going around and pressing disagree button for NO REASON. Jealous anyone?

Hal Emmerich5587d ago (Edited 5587d ago )

Both requels over 2 and 3? Clowns. Those are two of the most boring games I've ever played.

Snookies12172d ago

GoW 3 was amazing, but I personally hated just one thing. (This is on me alone, because I was dumb, lol.) I hated that you couldn't skip cutscenes on repeat playthroughs. I had to go back through the game a third time because I missed one trophy accidentally on my way to the platinum... The cutscenes were great the first go round, even the second... But the third was pretty agonizing.

Haven't played Ragnarok, but I still think GoW 4 is a wonderful game in its own right. Not sure how I would stack them up against each other honestly.

Monstieur172d ago (Edited 172d ago )

I don't consider the reboot part of the original series. The original series were high-skill games with combos and rewards for mixing things up.

solideagle171d ago

lol square, square and triangle is the only combo you needed. I have played all of them on the hardest difficulties...

Golfcoachh172d ago

Maybe I’m just old school but I just couldn’t get into the last two. Maybe it’s the slower action and more story telling but the original trilogy was by far my favorite.

Crows90172d ago

It's not that youre old school. They're different genres

JL2930171d ago (Edited 171d ago )

Me either, at all. It's just yap yap yap. They try to be a RPG's instead of being action games like they used to be.

Fluke_Skywalker172d ago

I'd put the two psp games over 3 in terms of story any day. But not over 2.

TheEnigma313172d ago (Edited 172d ago )

My favorite was part 2 and I think Ragnarok is better that 2018.

Shane Kim172d ago

The newer games are better imo.

ravens52172d ago

There is no worst. Except for Ascension, only cause I didn't play it lol. They are all masterpieces. 1,2,3, 2018 and Ragnarok. 1 of, if not the greatest video game franchise...besides MetalGear.

Snookies12172d ago

Oh wow, I actually forgot that Ascension even existed... I never played it either.

Crows90172d ago

I like ascension. It was different and some interesting combat additions.

darthv72172d ago

If you didnt play it, how could you call it the worst? Its not as bad as the media portrayed it. Honestly the worst are those flash games. they arent even considered true GoW games but in name only. At least Ascension is a real GoW game.

ravens52172d ago

Not saying it's a terrible game. Just mean it's at the bottom of my list. I played a little bit of it. Jus to me, compared to the other main games, it's last.

Fluke_Skywalker172d ago

Ascension is the only GOW game I never finished. Hated it.

Inverno172d ago

Can't agree, older games do so much more than the last two. More weapons, magic abilities, enemies are more varied, level design is also more aesthetically pleasing, and agree with those who say that they shouldn't have removed jumping. Was a time I'd agree, but those old games are so so much better, that they really should've looked into bringing into the reboot/sequels.

Crows90172d ago (Edited 172d ago )

If a game is good then a game is good. Doesn't matter what came before or what comes after.

Inverno172d ago

Of course it matters. If not for what what came before there wouldn't be an after. And if something is great before then you strive to make it just as good if not better, after. I personally don't think there's a fair way to judge the new with the old because the newer games are still essentially a reboot, and went a way different direction. But I still believe the old games did it better. I'm probably bias though since I've been going back to old games and have been finding that they lack all the annoying aspects that devs have shoehorned into new games to fluff out game time.

Crows90171d ago

@Inverno

Im not talking about the passage of time here. Im talking about individual pieces of software. If a game is good then it is good. Thats not a controversial statement. You can compare good with good...sure. But you still end up with good. Now if there is a bad game in the mix and you compare you do end up with some differentials between them...makes sense to compare and see where it went wrong.

But theyre different genres and styles which were individually executed very well.

And no. The new games are not a reboot. Theyre a new direction but simply a continuation.
Tomb raider was a reboot.

Inverno171d ago

The new games are definitely a reboot, and a continuation, it can be both which it is. And a good game might be good, but my point is that if there are things done better before it then there's plenty of room for critiquing and trying to make whatever comes after better rather than just good.
