Wow now it's gonna be shit

Good, God of War has to atone for the only sin it committed and it was the QTE, along with RE4.

I really didnt like the combat and the camera behind his back doesn't look that great. I heard it will be open wolrd so i suppose it was necessary but i just doesnt look good.

Fucking DROPPED

>God of war announced
>hurr cuck of war gonna have QTE shitty game!
>devs now say no QTES are in
>WAHHHH THAT WAS THE BEST THING THIS GAME IS SHIT NOW
Make up your fucking mind Sup Forums and stop moving the goal post

they're just gonna call em "cutscene button prompts" or something

This just says to me: "We are reinforcing your beliefs that we have removed any semblance of possible gameplay in order to make the series even more cinematic and boring"

What an awful direction this game is taking. Did the developers not learn from the failure that was The Order: 1886?

No, they probably will not have button presses

I don't think the camera angle is shitty. It actually looks kind of new and interesting; I don't think I've ever played a melee action game with a camera quite like this. It looks like some kind of fluid combination of RE4 / God Hand and Dark Souls (with no lock on). It seems like you can block with your shield anytime and can quickly dash or roll around to reposition yourself. Hopefully they have implemented some kind of quick-turn system that you can maybe use with the dashes/rolls

but kratos is the qte

But if Kratos was throwing his beard around to posses their enemies people would call it the super game of the next 3 years

If qtes are a series of button presses, does that make rhythmn games qtefests?

>Naming features that AREN'T in the game wins you GOTY
What a fucking disaster holy shit.

>Expecting Sup Forums to not move goal post

So is not God of War anymore. Great they killed another franchise.

Wow, it's almost as if people on this site have different opinions.

Sup Forums has always loved QTEs newfag.

All games are QTEs with varying degrees of leeway.

>qtes
>gameplay

How much you want to bet it really is QTE but they just call it something else like contextual button prompt or some other jargon?

I never saw anything wrong with it from the trailers aside from the fighting not looking like the previous game. But see the 2nd trailer it shows fighting looking nearly the same as GoW3 with the included little shit kid helping.

The only issue here is people clearly never played the previous GoW games. There are a lot of slow parts and story telling in the games, just the trailers for the previous games always showed off fighting. This time around they are showing off more story telling because thats what ultimately GoW turned into after 1. The original creator of 1 wanted to stop there, but the story was to good to stop.

>GOTY material now
too mad they managed to fuck the gameplay EVEN MORE now

Or they'll just replace qtes with slow walking sections where a npc is spouting exposition at you.

This. Everything will probably be visual cues and when en enemy reaches a weakened state, you can press a button to do a cinematic kill or just keep attacking with no button prompts.

The inclusion of QTEs don't make or break a game. The way the article describes it, it just sounds like a QTE without prompts, and instead just mashing the attack button. The way it's coming off, it's combat isn't going to hold up with the old fans, and doesnt look intereating enough for the uninitiated.

see

Out of the twenty people I knew that really loved the franchise, none of them was a combo heavy player. Even online, I think I'be only ever seen two guys who can do a 15+ combos without spamming magic. Trust me, the old fans are going to love this.

So my problem with this is that from all the combat gameplay, a lot of the kills on the giants and whatever look like the violent QTE kills from the previous games. I'm betting they're just taking out the button prompts and the movie meme is becoming reality.

You can't fix garbage gameplay by just removing QTEs

>it's combat isn't going to hold up with the old fans
It's not a game for the old fans. It's review/game awards bait, it's the Last of Us game, that has to keep people interested in the PS4 until Naughty Dog can finish Last of Us 2.

How am I supposed to have a cinematic experience without QTE's?

>not knowing every GoW game has story telling and ton of slow parts for puzzles and cutscenes.
>not knowing GoW3 had pandora you dragged around for a bit to do shit for you

Why do fags who haven't even played the games try and talk shit? Judging from the 2nd trailer i got more of a GoW3 feel than anything. I don't see TLoU affecting much in the game aside from the art.

I wonder if people would complain just as much if they made a sequel with the same mechanics as the last 4.

The Order

>It's gonna be the God Hand successor we've been waiting for

you realize God Hand had QTEs right? They just didn't abuse them.

holy shit, now I'm a bit more excited. Please don't fuck this up like spiderman

Truly, GoW is the cinematic gaming experience we've all been waiting for.

but that had tons of qtes

uhh you can spam the qtes alot if you know what you are doing and they are op.

>Kratos allies with Jörmungandr
Gee, I wonder if the big twist will be that he ends up starting up the Ragnarök, realizes that Loki is a dipshit as well and ends up fighting with Aesir in the sequels, probably gets killed off in silence while his son is one of the few humans who survive.

>some kind of quick-turn system that you can maybe use with the dashes/rolls
that would be pretty cool

What I liked about the newest trailer is it showed the AoE based gameplay is still there.

not qte? what are they going to do with boss fights after you beat them? play a cutscene?

That fighting looks so good. I can't wait to play this on God Mode. I hope they let us play on God Mode from the start.

>mfw I liked the QTE in GoW games

that shield bash looks nice we rarely can use a shield for something else than block and parry

>killing off Kratos
doubt it. He is the face of the series. It'd be like Halo killing off Master Chief

Only time I liked GTE was being able to grab those fucking harpies and ripping off their wings. A group of those fuckers on god mode was annoying as hell.

>Spider-Man PS4 threads

nigga kratos dies in every Gow

Odin is a dick to him at some point, probably related to his inevitable son's death so he can scream "OOODDIIINNNNN!" and murder the entire Norse mythology.

Thats God of War games in a nutshell. Kratos kills everyone. Literally. And when he's done killing everyone, he kills himself because theres nobody else left to be angry at.

>This time around they are showing off more story telling because thats what ultimately GoW turned into after 1.
GoW was always about gameplay. This abomination isn't.

>none of them was a combo heavy player
Combos had nothing to do with GoW. It's an efficiency focused series that stresses grabs, the environment, magic and playing dirty. This is none of those.

>Kratos kills his way out of Valhalla

>God of my wife's son
LEL

GoW1 was about gameplay. Anything after 1 was more story based. Prove me wrong you dumb fuck.

>No QTEs
Good
>Regular combat is a step down from previous
In the garbage bin it goes.

I wonder if he's going to get a staff weapon on account of being voiced by Teal'c.

>expecting any consistency at all from Sup Forumstards
heh

Weird. QTEs on finisher gory moves were kind of the staple of the GoW series. I guess this game is going to break some traditions, like the sex minigames.

Is that confirmed?

Was hoping Kratos would pound the qt from the trailer.

I'm actually interested to try this. I never played the previous ones.

Not really but since the game is meant to be more emotional and story-based I kind of supposed it would get rid of distracting elements

that is his son you sick creep

Kid walking in on his dad getting wild is perfect coming-of-age material.

>sex scene
>the creepy kid is peeping you in the corner

So instead of QTEs you have forced walking sections. Gotchu senpai.

QTEs are a good thing if they are challenging

Fact

QTE hating is just a dumb meme. Some people started saying QTEs are bad, with flimsy explanations, and everyone started repeating it, making it a meme
Like "Trump colluded with the russians". No proof, but everyone is saying it so it must be true

yeah, you are forced to walk your character in video game. What were they thinking?

>“[QTE’s] are cool,” said Barlog, “but we’re finding a better way.”
>Everything so far besides grafix look worse
What did he mean by this?

>graphics
Have you played Ascension recently?

"okay" "i am" "its the woldr serpent"
this little annoying fuck makes it go backwards, taking all seriousness of the context away
he should have had logan daughters behaviour, silent and deadly instead

I thought it sounded fine. I think you just hate kids.

No, why?

>That fighting looks so good
lol

It looks better than this game

it actually didnt, and yes youre right i hate kids but i was just neutrally speaking.. if he didnt say anything it wouldve just been better

Nope, kid needed to speak so there's a back and forth between him and Kratos. Having Kratos say something and him not replying or emoting back would be weird and one-sided.

I wouldn't go that far, but I'd rather play Ascension any day over 4

What makes a QTE a QTE is that you are pressing different buttons than normal to perform them. Like you are pressing the heavy attack button to grab your son's hand before he falls off a cliff, or you are mashing the shoulder buttons to rip off an enemy's head when those buttons are normally used for something else (such as aiming+throwing your axe and blocking w/ your shield). This is why *real* QTEs have button prompts that show up on the screen; because otherwise you wouldn't know what to press.
If you are pressing heavy attack on a stunned enemy and it performs / starts a brutal execution move, that is a contextual attack, NOT a QTE. People really need to learn the difference.

This is literally the same gameplay that was in previous games, only difference is the camera angle and shorter range, and that's only because he's using an axe and shield here. Give him the chains and it's literally the same.
>Sup Forums bitching about series they don't know anything about
How surprising.

RE 4 and GoW games had the only good QTE imo

I want to be happy about this decision but the sad truth is that QTE were probably the best thing in the past GoW.

You guys are insufferable

>Prove me wrong you dumb fuck.
GoWII has the best gameplay in the series and dumbest story retard.

So are those battle cutscenes just triggered automatically then?

Amazing, somehow they made it even worse.

>This is literally the same gameplay that was in previous games
>shorter range roll and melee combat
>no Blades of Chaos/Athena/Exile

What did user mean by this?

>How surprising.
You should take your own advice.

will the slowdown be in the actual game or do u think that is in it now just to show how cool it looks.

gee it's almost like there's different people on Sup Forums you fucking retard

What do we call people who like 1 or 3 more?

man, I can't wait to input the correct button combo in order to respect a woman's boundaries when she declines sex from Kratos!

Oh wow, look at that range with Blade of Olympus!

QTEs don't bother me too much if they're used sparingly or are optional for a cool finisher move.

>Oh wow, look at that range with Blade of Olympus!
>the sword that shoots lasers has bad range
>the BoO makes the BoC's range magically shorter
What?

I'm ok with this

The camera being so close make it look too limited.
I'm thinking enemies will either be really slow to attack or always in front of you because being surrounded by fast enemies with that camera angle would be awful.
QTEs in GoW never really bothered me aside from opening chests and doors.
