I see people complaining the game won’t be the same. Embrace change. Isometric cameras are getting kinda stale. Getting up close and personal can become a lot more interesting. It all boils down to the execution. Much like dungeon crawlers like PoE and D3 would be incredible in third person, but people are afraid to take the leap.

Not my opinion…

I think there was a great opportunity to have a new god of war game that would use all the power of the ps4. We would have a game 4-5 times bigger, longer, with amazing graphics. Des would finally be able to make some crazy things in the game.
And what was so amazing about gow games was that special angle, that we all love, that allowed for some incredible encounters, like poseidon and Gaia, at the beginning of gow 3.

Sure, I’m more than happy there is a new gow game coming. With uncharted and mass effect, it is my top 3 games ever. But I’m afraid the new mechanics will be another copy of tomb raider, with a gears of war cover system, and other stuff grabbed here and there.
We will then have a skills tree, weapon upgrades, etc etc. And I won’t be surprised if they implement micro transactions, so we can buy better axes, bows, etc: all AAA games are built around micro transactions, today.

I’m afraid what made gow games so special… will be gone, with the new game play and angle.

That’s rather dumb. The camera was fixed so we could get a good view of the combat.
Zooming it into over the shoulder just makes combat that much annoying. How am I supposed to respond to an enemy behind my back like in past games?
When you zoom in the camera that close in an hack an slash action game you’re going to have to be constantly stopping input commands in order to move the camera.

This will only be good for 1 on 1 battles. Which is what was basically shown in the trailer before which is a huge downgrade from past games.
