E3 2017: New God Of War Trailer

E3 2017: New God Of War Trailer

, , , , 0

The God Of War series has had some ups and downs. While the main games in the series have been seen as masterpieces, their spinoff weren’t given as much love. But now, they may be making their biggest move yet with the next God Of War. As we see an older Kratos and his young son braving the Norse world and battling the gods and creatures that live in it. At the Sony E3 Press Conference, a new trailer for the game was shown. One that sheds new life on the game, and where Kratos is in his life. Though he is the father of Atreus, he still is scarred by the wounds of his past, and likely still the loss of his first family. Add to that, he still has his warrior mentality, which seems to conflict with him being a father in some ways as you’ll see in the demo. Despite the changes in story (and voice acting for Kratos) the action seems to be very God of

The new God of War game will feature some departures for the franchise. Kratos, the titular antihero of the franchise, is back. Times have changes. However, the other big reveal for the new game for the franchise is that Kratos has an adopted son. That character has finally received a name. The game and demo were revealed at E3. The gameplay featured Kratos taking his adopted son on a hunt and teaching him how to hunt and kill a deer. That son has now been named as Atreus. The name was discovered by Twitter user Fabiano Banin. His name was located in the comments section of an MP3 file for the “Overture” for the game’s trailer score. Game director Cory Balrog then answered Banin back on Twitter, confirming that Atreus is in fact the name of Kratos’ young son. You can see their exchange below. It seems the release of this news was a little premature and almost accidental. Either way, it’s nice to have a name to the face

God of War: Canceled Star Wars Show Inspired New Game

, , , , , 0

The new God of War video game gained inspiration from an unusual, obscure source for the newest video game. According to game director Cory Barlog, the cancelled live-action Star Wars series that never actually materialized served as a story inspiration that informs the character of Kratos in the new video game. Speaking to Venture Beat, creative director Cory Barlog said the new direction for Kratos in the God of War sequel is inspired by scripts for the canceled Star Wars TV series. According to Barlog, the team for the game focused on giving Kratos a second chance and an opportunity to change his ways, and they wanted to do that by exploring his role as a father. There was some hesitancy in exploring this idea for Kratos, but the core writing team saw an opportunity after exploring some TV scripts for the canceled live-action Star Wars TV show and believed it could actually work. Barlog recounted some TV scripts for the TV show that he was able to read while

With the Greek Pantheon taken care of, the direction of a new God of War was clearly needing to be somewhere else. However, it wasn’t always going to be the Norse Mythology that appeared next, apparently, Egypt was going to be the setting. With its gods making a debut: “Half the team was way into that,” Sony Santa Monica creative director Cory Barlog said during a round-table interview, as reported by Eurogamer. “Egyptian mythology is about the pharaohs as embodiment of the gods on earth and there’s a lot more about civilization.” He continued: “It’s less isolated, less barren.” Because of that, the team chose to move away from that idea and towards the Norse setting, as they wanted the focus to stay on Kratos. “Having too much around distracts from that central theme of a stranger in a strange place,” Barlog said. Do you approve? Would you like to have seen Kratos versus Horus and Ra and the other Egyptian gods? Let us know!

The new God of War game that is coming has many new changes, aside from aspects of Norse mythology entering the game, and an older Kratos who is now a father, it’s been confirmed that the original voice of Kratos will not be reprising his role in the series. Voice actor TC Carson said on Twitter: “I am not,” he said. “Sony went in a new direction. let em know what you think.” Instead, this version of Kratos will be played by Christopher Judge, who revealed his involvement on Twitter: “I can now confirm I am Kratos #GodofWar4” No release date has been given for the new God of War title, but it will remain a PlayStation exclusive.

How Kratos Got Into Shovel Knight

Video game crossovers are nothing new. In fact, some titles are born from wanting to cross over numerous franchises (Mario Kart, Marvel vs. Capcom, Super Smash Bros., Etc.). Yet sometimes, a crossover happens that amazes gamers. One of those happened recently when Kratos, from God of War, was added to the amazing retro-style game Shovel Knight. The two games could not be more different in some ways, yet the inclusion worked well, and gamers were happy to have Kratos in game. But how did he get in there in the first pace? Well, David D’Angelo talked with Santa Monica Studios (creators of God of War) about the whole process. Well, apparently the team talked about what to do with Shovel Knight next, and the idea came up to have Shovel Knight go up against people of a different land…or video game franchise. Wanna guess who their first choice was? “From style, combat, and overall intensity, Kratos was first on our list,” says D’Angelo, “as a chance encounter we wanted to

Sony are not currently planning on remastering other God of War games in addition to God of War III. Replying to a question of the official PlayStation blog, Santa Monica Studio employee Aaron Kaufman stated that the developer currently had “no plans for others in the franchise to bring over [to PlayStation 4]”. Sony initially announced that God of War III would be remastered for the PlayStation 4, with the resolution seeing an improvement to 1080p. The developer is also targeting 60 frames per second in terms of performance, but it has yet to be officially confirmed whether that is something that can be achieved. It will release both as a digital and retail title, with a special edition being made available that comes with a Kratos statue, and will release on July 14. It’s certainly not unusual to see a remastered version of a previous generation game being released on the PlayStation 4. Since the release of the console and its competitor, the Xbox One, there have been a

The Time Is Right To Pick Up A PlayStation Vita There’s an unhealthy perception in the gaming industry that the PlayStation Vita is struggling, and that it lacks a solid library games. In actual fact, there has never been a greater time to pick up a Vita; here I’m going to run down why now is the time to strike to pick up Sony’s handheld beast and counter some of the lingering questions surrounding the portable console.   Vita’s game catalogue This perception refuses to budge despite being incorrect. The Vita’s library of games at present is huge, offering a selection of titles and genres from AAA ports like Borderlands 2 to the latest indie games such as Olli Olli or Thomas Was Alone. A quick look at the online SEN Store (Europe) shows that, at the time of posting, there are 629 Vita-compatible titles ready to play. The selection of titles is not only numerous but diverse; Like first-person shooters? Try out Borderlands 2, Call of Duty: Declassified or
