They just put out a teaser at the PS5 showcase.

This relatively new naming convention where instead of calling games five, six seven etc they instead revert back to just "Call of Duty" or "God of War" is definitely the result of market research and focus testing, but I wonder what the psychological reason is for why consumers prefer this over just giving the game a proper chronological label. I mean final fantasy is still going strong with 16 on the way.

No way this game is coming out in 2021. Not if it's at the same quality as God of War.

Why not? Presumably they've been working on it since 2018. Furthermore, they already have a goof base to build the game on.

Three years to make an expensive AAA title, in the same year as global pandemic (that has pushed back most other games)...Horizons Zero Dawn 2 has actual gameplay footage and that game is supposed to be released in 2021.

This is just a short teaser with nothing but some words. Considering it took the same devs 5 years to make God Of War...three years seems implausible. Especially considering it's on a new console (that always presents challenges) using supposedly amazing technology.

GoW was built almost entirely from scratch. This will build on what already exists, it should have a far shorter development time. Especially since they could have easily expanded their staff after the success of the "first" game. As for a new console, the other GoW was also the first (and only) one for PS4.

As for no game-play, presumably they are just holding that back as of now.

God of War 2?

They had at least 3 ps2 games.

Yeah the latest one was a soft reboot and this is a sequel to that.

Maybe I'm wrong but I still doubt it will be released next year.

Probably. Even with the same engine as before, making a triple AAA title with new hardware is a tough task. Hardware that does 4K, super fast loading and I believe ray tracing....

Considering other major AAA developers take 4-5 years to make a title like that, I just don't see it. The new Horizons game would be coming out roughly the same time and that's got an extra year.

It's probably doable but how different will this game be? And I would be surprised if Sony releases God Of War and Horizonz in the same time frame.

It's God of War 5, technically.

God of War directly continues the story after GoW 3.

From what I understand Horizon will be coming out fairly early next year and GOW will be late next year.

I guess time will tell!

rebooting games is so gay

Yeah...especially considering the last God Of War didn't light the world on fire.
They had move the game into a different direction.

I mean, the world was pretty much on fire at the end of God of War 3. In the literal sense.

God Of War 3 is not the last game. You are forgetting God Of War Ascension.

God of War stopped being good after second PS2 game.

A shittier direction, judging by the last abomination.

Bad taste. Even if you don't like the direction they took with the new game, GoW 3 was great.

Are you joking? God of War is easily top 5 best games of its generation.

3 is just a bloated 2. GoW2 did everything 3 did better, without the padding and stupid elements.

The remake took away every thing that made the series good, and turned it into just another "cinematic" third person action game. It's like they built it on focus groups, like "Ooh, kids checked good in focus. Add a kid."

Kratos the father figure! Give me a break!

God of War lost its identity, lost its edge, lost it's gameplay. This isn't God of War, its a mediocre cookie cutter action game.

I never really liked the og games too much, but with GOW 2018, although I loved it, it became clear to me that the series definitely sold out to become the videogame equivalent of 'Oscar-bait'.

So gotta have to agree, at least partially, with my friend cdtm.
