TheChancellor Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 The newest installment of Santa Monica Studio's PS4 exclusive, described as a "reimagining" for the franchise, the gameplay has been completely rebuilt, with one major change being that Kratos no longer uses his signature double-chin blades. He instead uses a magical battle axe called the Leviathan Axe. With the official release date being April 20th, 2018, we're only 10 days away. Personally, as a fan of the franchise, I've been wary of the change of direction ever since they announced the game and showed us the first gameplay, but I can't say that I'm not excited. Hopefully it will still feel like it's Kratos wrecking stuff in rage (and wisdom, it seems) rather than a completely new game with an only somewhat familiar character. Will you guys be picking this game up on day one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I only played one GoW before and didn't like it juan bit but this looks pretty okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I love the God of War series, but I am hesitant about the change. Still, I have no reason to doubt Sony in regards to their exclusive first party titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansNvolsR#1 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Is there a way to play the original ones on PS4? Never played the first 3 but this looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've only remastered God of War lll for the PS4 so far, the first two have been remastered for PS3 only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riceman80 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Chomping at the bit to play it. Loved the entire series and cant wait for this one. Already pre-ordered and counting the days. I think it'll build on the franchise as more than just brutality and rage while still keeping that element. Only thing i dont like is no Blades of Exile. That makes me sad.

That makes me sad. Well said. I have my reservations, but that's simply because I'm a big fan and I want it to be one of the best games of recent years. It has the potential to be one, for sure, but hopefully it will be both a reminder of the good old days of God of War, while being a whole new gaming experience at the same time.

Thelonebillsfan Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 10's and 9.5's from every single major publication while discussing it's seminal narrative and complex yet elegant design which lends itself to the narrative not detracts from it. I have been waiting for a game like this for years. This is the first time in years it’s felt like one of these unfathomably expensive blockbusters is putting its weight into moving that field in a different direction rather than riffing on one of its standardized formulas, and it’s every bit as jolting as that Hydra fight was 13 years ago. https://games.avclub.com/god-of-wars-rebirth-makes-time-for-introspection-among-1825190473 I AM READY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChad Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I was barely even paying attention to this but the reviews have been crazy. Suddenly I'm disappointed that it isn't out for another week or so. Looks like a must-have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My phone literally blew up with my friends sending me reviews as they know how much I'm looking forward to this, and now I can't help myself, I'm officially WAY too hyped. So far, The Witcher 3 and The Last of Us are my favorite games I've ever played in terms of the complete experience, and I hope this game cracks the list. Been a fan of GoW since the PS2 days but never in a million years did I think this franchise would be where it's likely headed to with this release. My body is ready.

sunnygsm Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Never really played GoW or had it on my radar. The reviews thus far have changed that. I'll consider getting this soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll consider getting this soon. Since they're revamping everything, from the setting to the gameplay, it should be easy to jump right into this one. Only seven more days, can't wait. One of the rare times I pre-ordered a game, and the web-shop even offered a really nice discount. The hype is real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since those were pure hack and slash games, the story was always secondary, so you'll catch up with it in no time. This seems to be the first GoW title in which the story will really push the characters and barriers of this universe forward along with the fun (and possibly more challenging) gameplay.
