Another perfect. As of right now the meta is up to 95.

DarkVoyager2626d ago (Edited 2626d ago )

Great now I have to make a new avatar!
Edit: Done!

On topic: Amazing score from Giant Bomb.

mockzer02626d ago

Bwahaha, that made my morning man. 😁

SuperSonic912626d ago

Dude, you are the man!
That's original.
LOL!

spicelicka2625d ago (Edited 2625d ago )

Honestly though, the game is amazing no doubt but advertising the review score in your avatar is pretty cringeworthy. You should have a pic of just Kratos, that's interesting to look at, not a number.

S2Killinit2625d ago

Hahaha nice i give you a 95 for effort.

I also cant believe it made it to 95! So hyped.

DarkVoyager2625d ago (Edited 2625d ago )

“Honestly though, the game is amazing no doubt but advertising the review score in your avatar is pretty cringeworthy.“

Kratos disagrees.

VenomUK2625d ago

Giant Bomb, like the UK's EDGE magazine, can be tough reviewers. So that's a great score.

OffRoadKing2625d ago

Lol, good stuff brother, have 96 ready to go just in case.

Cyborgg2625d ago

@Spicelicka

Kratos son Atreus disagrees 😁

This is TLoU levels of greatness here.

SuperSonic912625d ago

Nothing is gonna stand in Kratos' way.
Not even the gods.

SuperSonic912625d ago

@ S2Killinit

"Not even the trolls LoL"

Affirmative!

PaleMoonDeath2625d ago

Not even the clickers, heh.

IamTylerDurden12625d ago (Edited 2625d ago )

I said God of War was going to be this generations TLoU in terms of quality and generational impact before reviews hit. And it's looking more and more true.

Each troll is unique, they each look different and they have their own name, backstory, and fighting style.

NINETY FRICKING FIVE... WOW!!! TAKE A BOW Cory and his amazing team at SM...

Ceaser98573612625d ago

But i only fear that there are few reviewers who didnt get reviews copies and will bring the ratings down... trolls reviewers are incoming for sure :(

zivtheawesome2625d ago

Legendary status achieved! Now the question is if it’ll maintain it. Please edge don’t ruin it... (edge gave the mainline GoW by order 8,7,8, but they did give TLOU a 10 and hopefully they like the new direction to save the score.)

G20WLY2625d ago

Wtf, they gave God of War 2 a 7/10?! 😂 Clowns

95 on metacritic, by the Gods.😱

MasterCornholio2626d ago

It's true. I can't wait for my Pro bundle.

GaboonViper2625d ago

Nice, i'm happy with my slim, i don't really like all this mid gen upgrade stuff, hope you enjoy your Pro.

Veneno2626d ago

Im so happy to see that Sony Santa Monica swung for the fences and knocked it out of the park. You could always see they had the talent to be god tier like Naughty Dog or Kojima and they were a half step below. Now they have sealed the status. Cant wait to get my copy of the game!

IamTylerDurden12625d ago

They have always had incredible technical prowess, but Cory evolved the narrative aspect and gave the characters and world dimension.

SuperSonic912625d ago

That 5 on 95 is for the 5 years it took SSM to make this game.
They deserve the praise and success for their hard work.

neutralgamer19922626d ago

deserves it Cory please stay on for more GOW game. You belong at SSM/sony because square enix had you but didn't give you the creative freedom to succeed. After finishing GOW2 he left citing bhe was tired/burned out i hope this time around he stays

few years ago when all GOW creative directors had a sit down interview what really made me sad is knowing what david jaffe/cory had in vision for GOW3 and what actually ended up being GOW3(don't get me wrong GOW3 is awesome game but i would have loved a david jaffe/cory combo version of the events after GOW2)

Pancit_Canton2626d ago

He said he wants to work on new IP.

I'm sure Sony would give him a green light for that one.

Ceaser98573612625d ago

Yes he said he wants to do something new something he wants to do and hopefully he can convince Sony.. So ya he is staying with Sony...

DarkVoyager2626d ago (Edited 2626d ago )

“Cory please stay on for more GOW game. You belong at SSM/sony because square enix had you but didn't give you the creative freedom to succeed. After finishing GOW2 he left citing bhe was tired/burned out i hope this time around he stays”

Corey said if God of War succeeds he wants make a new IP which he already has ideas for. I assume Sony Santa Monica would split in two teams.

showtimefolks2625d ago

Yeah I think he will guide both teams. Like under ND same director for UC2,4 and TLOU and now TLOU2

S2Killinit2625d ago (Edited 2625d ago )

Thats how they do it. Honestly this has been one of the greatest generations and its thanks to Sony’s business model. Any generation dominated by Sony guarantees a good time for console gamers.

neutralgamer19922625d ago

skill

i love it when sony says stuff like we will focus even more on exclusives from 1st-2nd party studios. They are already the biggest and best publishers and for them to focus more time,energy and resources will only garner a lot of amazing games

no surprise... this gen has been 'almost' a total wash for Sony. They has been shifting games to 26. Probably to pad out the eventual release of the PS6, which is also rumored for 26/27.

Obscure_Observer2d ago

"They has been shifting games to 26. Probably to pad out the eventual release of the PS6, which is also rumored for 26/27"

Maybe their first crossgen game between PS6 and PS5?

I´m also expecting Cory´s new game to be crossgen at this point, while GT8 to be their first true next gen only game at launch.

neutralgamer19921d 18h ago

Obscure

Everything will be cross generations. There won't be many games which will be just next generation only. As we move forward tech isn't going to give a huge jump when it comes to consoles. So why cut off part of your install base whom are easier consumers to target

We still see games being released on PS4. Sony might be looking at finishing strong going into PS6 with a lot of momentum. In 2026/2027

ND new IP
Sony santa Monica 2 games
Sucker punch 2nd team
Insomniac games wolverine and ratchet and clank

At launch of PS6 we may see Spiderman 3 day one with the console

Eonjay2d ago

How can this game be postponed if it was never announced to be launching in 2025? It hasn't been announced at all in fact.

Mmmkay2d ago

ps6 has never been rumored for 26. lol. where do you get your 'facts' ? this gow game has not been announced either so no one expected a release in 25.

generic-user-name2d ago

I'll be surprised if PS6 is out before 2028, gens get longer and longer and they've no need to rush it with most of their first party yet to reveal their PS5 titles.

MIDGETonSTILTS172d ago

How can an unannounced game be delayed?

Jin_Sakai2d ago

Because maybe that was their internal target?

Ganif1d 23h ago

Exactly...

Even if this game exists it obviously never had a 2025 release date since we're halfway through the year and it hasn't even been announced yet.

CrimsonWing692d ago

Man, I wish we could go back to the hood ol’ days of God of War. I totally understand the craft and talent that went into the modern version, but I found them incredibly boring. I love the spectacle and unapologetic visceral and energy of the originals. They were shocking, brutal, and completely bad-ass. Wish we could get back to those days.

gold_drake1d 23h ago (Edited 1d 23h ago )

mhh i dunno, i like the old games, but they were rly just one note.

still very fun tho

Toecutter002d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Hate to break it to you, but we've already had, like, seven GoW games set in Greek mythology. Did you mean Egyptian mythology...in your headline?

gold_drake1d 23h ago

i was about to say this exact thing haha

FernDiggidy1d 20h ago (Edited 1d 20h ago )

wait wait wait wait. Greek Mythology? wtf? Why are why are we going back?

edit: Supposedly it's a spinoff and its metriodvania style????? SIGN ME UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And not in a good way! GOW 2018 was not what I was expecting either, and it blew me away! However this is like a popcorn fart in church.

Elda17d ago

I wouldn't mind playing that, I'm guessing somewhat in the vein of Prince Of Persia:TLC but hopefully with better graphics.

RaidenBlack17d ago

Which 2.5D tho?
I think its a top down perspective game.

PassNextquestion16d ago

2.5D can be done in many different ways. It could be as simple as a size scrolling game with 3D backgrounds

Nebaku16d ago

Well it says "Metroidvania". I think you can derive which kind of 2.5D from that.

ravens5217d ago

🤔 Interesting. Nothing wrong with switching it up to a different genre of game for a side project. Hope they don't try to do that to a main entry.

jznrpg17d ago

This sounds very interesting. I love a good Metroidvania.

Deathdeliverer17d ago

Actually sounds good as hell in my imagination. Definitely interested.
