I think Microsoft and Sony see where the money is. New ip haven’t garnered alot of praise this generation. Remember the coalition was working on a new ip also before heading up gears

Different perceptions. I loved U4, I thought it went out on the perfect note.

Sony isn’t getting the studios to follow ND, they have a degree of freedom to do what they want.

In fact, you are lucky to even be having a GoW4 game, Santa Monica were initially working on a new IP and had that new IP been a hit, it would have become their main focus, GoW getting the back seat.

ND has a reputation for making masterpieces with everything they do, so it’s only natural that other Sony Studios would want a bit of their cake.

Doing the same thing over and over doesn’t attract new audiences and the sales show that. They’ve been slowly dropping and will only continue to do so if Santa Monica doesn’t do something new. So this is what they are trying, along with some new ideas we’ll see in the finished game and who knows, maybe this will be the greatest GoW game ever made, maybe not.

I understand totally i just think sony and found a road that’s successful and they want alor of the first party studio’s to follow suit. Again im not saying that’s a bad thing, just that certain titles should not be tampered with in thjs fashion.
Uncharted was witty and fun and that’s what we always expected from Nathan drake. Uncharted 4 wasn’t so much. It was kind of a let down for me story wise but the game wasnt terrible at all.

Maybe so, but you’d be surprised at what a third person view adds to an experience. The camera placed just over Kratos’ shoulder would make everything appear bigger and more ferocious than in games seen before. It also makes worlds look bigger and Kratos feel smaller in comparison and plots won’t need to be told via cinematics, because we are already right there with Kratos seeing everything he sees.

It doesn’t have to be permanent, they are experimenting.

I dont mind a compelling story, they can give us that without the need to go in the last of us route. The developers hint to doing just that and i feel gow doesn’t need it to have a really great story

The brainless killing is boring without something to drive it now. We look at a game and decide whether it’s worth investing time into that experience, which is why I didn’t buy No Man’s Sky, which I was initially excited about. Repetition + a plot which apparently doesn’t give sound reason to want to play = a boring and unrewarding experience.

There is only so much “Agggghhhh! The Gods betrayed me! I killed my family! Smash, kill, destruction!” a gamer can take before it starts to get boring.

GoW 1 = Amazing
GoW 2 = Amazing x2
GoW 3 = Good
GoW A = Meh
GoW 4 doing the same thing = Zzzzzzz

nah… i fine with heartbreak stuff. They are only showing less than 1% of the game in that trailer.

You really cant change gears of war. They did in judgement and thr hardcore went nuts. I dont mind something fresh and new for the god of war series but not this naughty dawg heartbreak story driven stuff.
