"With E3 and loads of new God of War 3 footage just around the corner, I though it would be nice to get ourselves psyched up. So I've thrown together this 'Closer Look' to showcase the amazing graphical upgrade between last generation's God of War and the God of War we're all waiting for--with special thanks to IGN for some great videos that allowed me to put together this nice side-by-side comparison.
Below, you'll find loads of images showcasing the great evolution we see from this game."
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.
I would still like to have Mimir in the next game. They (devs) can justify it by saying that Mimir wants to gain knowledge about other realms/pantheons. Also, personally I think Alastair Duncan did a great job as Mimir and would love to see the continuation of the small banters Kratos and Mimir had in the past games.
The point of Ragnarok's ending is to show that Atreus is his own man now. Having Daddy Kratos save him in Egypt after getting himself into trouble would just undo his entire character development.
The point was more to do with getting Atreus out of the way rather than him being saved. Let's say he's off on his own adventures then and invent another reason for Kratos to be in Egypt.
Could be that Kratos thinks he's been captured or killed as motivation but at the close of the game it turns out Atreus has been up to his own shady shenanigans.
They need to bring back the "God of War" in God of War. I was expecting to unleash hell and fury in Asgard against Thor that they really talked up in the first game but all we got was brooding middle aged dad drunk in a beer hall. Ragnarok was still "good" but I left that game expecting a lot more.
Tried Rag... just couldn't get into it. Felt like more of the same. I would welcome a Kratos only game again.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
The must play PSP Games every gamer will enjoy.
lets get this done!
but i got to ask the dumb question what happen when this game is release?.every one is closely watching the development of this game. some want it to be the best action pS3 game,others just waiting with their links of sony_boys saying some stupid comment a whlie ago if the game doesn't sell well.by selling well i mean 2+million in first week just like KZ2.
anyways i'am looking forword to this game.
I didn't know that there was that much of a difference. I think it's going to be a lot better though when it actually is released.
God of War III Technology = Nothing special because it looks almost exactly the same as God of War II.
So, as far as GFX goes, flop.
