Chris Judge teases GoW announcement on 1st December (possible secret level related)

Just hope he doesn’t get to talk or we will be waiting 90 minutes listening to him

Probably about secret level but as a god of war fanboy, I hope it is about remake of Greek games. Valhalla seems like a prelude to it, surely they didn't spend so much money, effort and time to recreate greek environment, characters and enemies just for a free dlc( admittedly an awesome one but still).

Hopefully, we get an announcement of not a remastered Greek Saga, but a remake using the latest from santa monica's engine.

Santa Monica has had a ton of growth and I think it makes sense to revisit the Greek Saga before going onto Egypt or something else like that.
Man, I can’t wait to see that remake and how they change the script. I don’t see modern Sony keeping some of the parts in the old GoW games intact.

Nor should they. The games are far more popular today than they were on the PS2 and PS3. They should have a similar tone from the originals, but they should follow in the the footsteps of the reboot.

Then why not make a new game? Major changes will not be taken lightly by the fanbase.

You overrate your own importance here.

God of War 2018 sold over 23 million units across PS4 and PC. Ragnarok has sold over 15 million units.

God of War 3 was the best-selling God of War game before that and it sold 5.2 million units.

The vast majority of current players never played the originals.

lol, my importance is certainly tiny, especially so considering I liked GoW 2018 the best amongst all GoW games.

But considering modern online discourse, a remake of first GoW games that inject shit for “modern audiences” will get eviscerated.

That's pretty unfortunate. Gow 2018 is my favourite game till date. And I would prefer if they kept the essence of he originals, especially the story and epic battles. The zeus boss battle from gow 3 is still the best boss battle, imo.

We've got to stop with the culture war BS in video games.

I think they'll stay true to the tone of the original games. That doesn't mean they have to have a sex mini-game, though. The original story telling was almost entirely devoid of depth. They have a lot they can fix there.

The original God of War game took 9 hours to beat. God of War 2 was 12 hours. God of War 3 was 10 hours.

Ragnarok was 26.5 hours.

You could probably wrap up the entire saga in one long game.

I hope he keeps his speech down to 30 seconds. I don't want to here his crap.. unless he talks about how kratos got his balls back.

No thanks. Ragnarok and 2018 were bloated.

GoW 3 had perfect pacing, and was very replayable. In terms of actual moment to moment gameplay, I wouldn't be surprised if 3 had more than the Dad or War games.

Even if the caption says December 1, he said "next two weeks" instead.

The tv animation series Secret Levels, which features Kratos, debuts December 10, 2024.

December 3rd is also the PlayStation 30th anniversary day. So Sony could announce there a remaster/remake of the first, original, GoW titles to have them ready and fresh for the PC players.

Will be a script, not a game script again?

Eh, C. Carson needs to comeback, and also the original gameplay

Probably a nothing burger but wasn't there supposed to be a DLC of Ragnarok, teased by Anderson a year ago?

I hope the rumored GoW games being remastered are just remasters and not remakes. I want them as close to the originals as possible, no over the shoulder camera bullshit. That's for the reboot.

Ditch the over the shoulder view IMO.

I'm sure a bunch of longtime fans like the camera pulled back. Prefer action combat with the camera of DMC, Stellar Blade, GOW 1,2,3 and NG.

Let me again say that God of War 2018 outsold pretty much the entire series combined. I don't think that can be ignored.

Yes, more people play games now 100% agree. I doubt the over the shoulder camera was the secret sauce got people to buy it.

What I'm saying is to change how the game plays today would probably be a mistake. Just as it would be to re-incorporate a bunch of quick-time events...
