God of War Ragnarok

Either search is rubbish or we don't have a thread for this?

 

Great showing of this but no release date so I'm thinking Autumn 2022?

They got fat Thor

God of war is the best. This is going to be spectacular.

I mentioned it in the other thread but this is a great tease.

Is this also coming to PS4?

Yep, magnificent trailer and game of the showcase for me. I'm going on blackout as soon as a release date is announced as I don't want anything else spoiled. I'm really hoping they make the platinum accessible in this, like they did in the first game, because that was great fun to 100%.

 

I've got to say, I'm not sure about big belly Thor. The

Spoiler

post-credits scene in GoW 1 that introduced him suggested that he was a lot more menacing, while the picture above 

 

makes him look a bit like a tubby LotR dwarf. Having said that, Baldur in the first game was a skinny little bloke compared with Kratos, and he was still badass. Good on them for breaking the mould when it comes to homogenised representations of men's bodies. I should probably stop being so shallow.

 

Anyway. Looking forward to it, but wouldn't be surprised if it's at least a year away.

I hope it feels a bit more self contained this time. Half the last game felt like filler, and they kept hyping up Thor just for him not to even be in the game aside from a post credits glimpse.

 

That said, the trailer's looking decent.

Was already interested in this but that Thor design is magnificent. Very excited now.

[HarryBizzle]

After the main showcase they had an interview with the new game director and Cory Barlog (who's something like studio lead or something, but not directing the game).

 

Of note:

-This is the end of the "Norse saga."

-Richard Schiff is Odin!

-Odin is not what you might expect, "doesn't live in a castle" - just sort of mucks about doing as he pleases.

-Angrboda is one of the last giants

-Ragnarok definitely happens in the game

 

 

This looks incredible and is making me want to find the time to replay the first game on PS5.

Explains why it doesn't look any more graphically advanced than the first one.

[Gigawatt]

That’s a bit like saying your new Ferrari isn’t any faster than the old one. 

[HarryBizzle]

Eurogamer have done a piece about Thor being fat and how wonderful that is/Twitter being upset about it. 
 

So strange. As if Vikings (or any other ancient warriors) had six packs. 
 

This is what peak performance looks like:

 

 

[carlospie]

Fat Thor is legendary. 

 

Did they ever say why god of war didn't get the dlc? Was it worked into this?

I recall a story, unsure if true or me just misremembering, but the story was that the DLC they were working on did indeed have the scope of a whole new game. If true, it's fair to say this is the result of that. 

[Chadruharazzeb]

It really doesn't look any better than the first game, but it's no worse and it's more Kratos so I'm well happy.

[BabelRich]

Stolen from Twitter:

 

At last; I have the body of a God. 
 

Can’t wait for this, adored the ‘first’ one after never before playing a GoW game. 

[HarryBizzle]

The Kyriakos memes gather steam.

But it did. That open world looked amazing 

[Girth Certificate]

I actually hope there’s more severed head story time in #2. I really enjoyed sailing about aimlessly listening to the banter.

As did the first game, which this looks exactly like. 

[Jamie John]

I imagine the PS5's extra grunt will manifest itself in more technical ways - 60fps, ray-tracing, particle effects, improved draw distances, and so on. Can't wait

I choose to believe that Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is responsible for the recent pop cultural popularity of Ratatoskr.

[Number 28]

Why isn't Troy Baker reprising his role for the squirrel? Also, how does one do mocap for a squirrel?

 

This looks great. I still need to beat Sigrun though..."UNWORTHY! UNWORTHY! UNWORTHY!" *headstomp*

Just do this:

 

 

Easy.

[NecroMorrius]

Very glad it appears to be very similar visually, which should mean we'll get a lovely PS5 version with a rock solid framerate. It's a bit too early in the PS5's lifespan to start waiting for the PS6 version. 

 

It does look better though, models and environments are much more detailed and the geometry is much more complicated.

[JoeK]

Is it me, or does the action look more panned out in certain areas? A bit more like the earlier games? Might just be the way they shot the trailer though.

[Captain Novaforce]

I'm pretty hyped for this, can't come out soon enough
